Silicon Valley CA
A New Standard of Dining in Silicon Valley
If you’re looking for a personalized dining experience in Silicon Valley, CA that’s equal parts luxury, intimacy, and culinary artistry, you’ve come to the right place. I’m Chef Martin, founder of Capitola Garden Feast, and my goal is simple: to transform your home, backyard, vacation rental, or private venue into a five-star restaurant, tailored to you.
Since launching Capitola Garden Feast in 2017, I’ve dedicated myself to bringing exceptional food experiences to life. My background spans several continents and cuisines, from my days managing Hilton resorts in Egypt and Kuwait to leading operations at Hotel De Anza right here in Silicon Valley.
I also had the honor of cooking at the Palace Hôtel Bristol Paris, recognized by the Michelin Guide as the Best Hotel in the World, where I prepared meals for Pope John Paul II and Tonino Lamborghini. These experiences have helped me develop a deep understanding of hospitality, and now, I bring that directly to your table.
Whether you’re hosting a milestone celebration or planning an elegant dinner with close friends, I’m here to deliver something truly unforgettable.
The Essence of Capitola Garden Feast
What sets Capitola Garden Feast apart isn’t just the food, it’s the experience. I work closely with each client to understand their vision, preferences, and occasion. From there, I design a menu and setting that reflects your personality and occasion.
I specialize in luxury private dining for clients across Silicon Valley. Every menu is crafted from scratch using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Whether it’s an elegant dinner for two or a garden celebration for 50, your event is executed with precision and care.
And this isn’t just catering, this is a fine dining experience at home, or even your Airbnb, VRBO, or vacation rental, that rivals the most exclusive dinner party catering you can find.

A Taste That Stays With You
Every time I step into someone’s home or garden to cook, I know I’m not just making a meal, I’m helping create a memory. It might be a quiet dinner for two or a lively garden celebration with your closest friends and family. Either way, I bring the same focus: thoughtful food, seamless service, and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere.
Clients often tell me what stood out wasn’t just the flavors, it was how the entire evening felt curated just for them. From the moment we plan your menu to the final course served, everything is designed to reflect your style and story.
You don’t need a formal restaurant setting to enjoy a luxury lifestyle dining experience in Silicon Valley. In fact, some of the most remarkable meals I’ve created have been under open skies, around a candlelit dining table, or within a beautifully appointed vacation rental.
