In-Home Private Chef & Catering with Ethos
Your Nantucket Private Chef
Designed around you, sourced from the island.
When you book a private chef in Nantucket with Ethos, Chef Zac Hotter designs your menu from scratch — around your tastes, your guests, and your vision for the evening. He sources fresh local seafood directly from island fishermen and produce from Nantucket's farms, often the morning of your event.
The result is something genuinely rare: a restaurant-quality dining experience in the comfort of your own home, with none of the noise and all of the intimacy. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, hosting friends for the week, or simply want a spectacular Nantucket summer dinner, we'll make it happen.
From a leisurely island breakfast to an elegant multi-course dinner, every meal is fully customized to you. Paired wines, curated cocktails, full table service, and a spotless kitchen when we leave.
Ethos Wine Bar & Bistro serves private dining clients, vacation renters, and catering events across the island.
Nantucket Drop-Off Catering
Exceptional food, without the fuss.
Not every occasion calls for a full-service chef — but every occasion still deserves exceptional food. Ethos Nantucket catering is available for delivery or pickup, bringing the same sourcing standards and culinary craftsmanship to your table without the staffing.
Choose from hand-selected cheese and charcuterie boards, custom hors d'oeuvres for cocktail parties, or complete cook-at-home dinners with simple preparation instructions for effortless hosting. Everything is thoughtfully prepared and ready when you need it — no supermarket lines, no shortcuts, no compromises.
Whether you're stocking a rental for the week or putting together a last-minute gathering, we make it easy to serve something genuinely special.
Nantucket Raw Bars
Shell to table. Shucked on site.
Few things set the tone for an evening quite like a stunning raw bar. Ethos brings the full experience directly to you — freshly shucked Nantucket island oysters, littleneck clams, wild-caught cocktail shrimp, and sweet local Nantucket bay scallops, served alongside our house-made cocktail sauce, Ethos mignonette, and fresh lemon.
For something beyond the traditional, we also craft custom ceviches and crudos — delicate, bright preparations that showcase the best of what the island's waters have to offer.
Every raw bar is staffed by a top-tier island shucker and scaled to fit your event, whether you're hosting an intimate gathering of ten or a sprawling summer celebration. Book it as a standalone centerpiece or pair it seamlessly with our private chef or drop-off catering services.
This is Nantucket on a half shell.
Caviar Bars & Tastings
Rare, refined, and entirely yours.
Some indulgences deserve more than a passing moment. Ethos offers full-scale Nantucket caviar bar service in partnership with Pearl Street Caviar — our custom branded caviar program designed to elevate any event into something truly unforgettable.
From velvety oscietra to the rare, commanding depth of beluga, we curate a selection that spans the full spectrum of the world's finest caviars. Our team guides your group through an intimate tasting experience — exploring flavor, provenance, and the subtle art of discernment — so you leave not just satisfied, but genuinely knowledgeable.
Complete the experience with a curated champagne or wine pairing, chosen to complement each selection and bring the full spectrum of flavor into focus.
Add a caviar bar to your private chef dinner or raw bar for a seamless evening of refined indulgence, or select it as a standalone drop-off or delivery option to elevate your next Nantucket gathering.
A little knowledge. A lot of luxury.
