Private Chef & Catering in Fort Myers

Bring the sophistication of fine dining to your home or event in Fort Myers, the historic river city on the Caloosahatchee known for its walkable downtown River District and palm-lined McGregor Boulevard. Caracara Culinary Service specializes in private chef and catering experiences designed entirely around you. From a romantic evening to a larger celebration, every dish is crafted with care. There are no preset menus, only unforgettable cuisine tailored to your tastes and your style.

Whether you live in Fort Myers year round or are spending the season here, the full experience comes to you, handled from the first course through the final cleanup.

Who We Are

Coastal Luxury, Crafted for You

In Fort Myers, a great dinner should be more than just food. It should be an occasion you actually get to enjoy. Caracara Culinary Service delivers restaurant-quality meals in the comfort of your home, vacation rental, or event space, so you can spend the evening with your guests rather than in the kitchen.

The service is well suited to a romantic dinner for two, a family celebration or reunion, a dinner party with friends, and milestone occasions such as anniversaries, weddings, and birthdays. Rather than offering a standard menu, Chef James Halker begins with a single question, “What do you want to eat?”, and builds a one-of-a-kind dining experience around your vision.
