Serica Table · Shanghai and China
Private dining across China, planned around your guests.
From Shanghai to destinations across China, Serica plans private dinners in residences, hotel suites, restaurant rooms and other approved settings. The brief covers the guest list, dietary needs, venue, chef, menu, service, arrival and the time the evening should end.
How a private dinner is planned
One brief for the room, menu and service
A family with an older guest may need an earlier start and simple transfers. A hosted dinner may depend on privacy, bilingual service and the order in which people arrive. Those facts are settled before decorative choices.
Serica then coordinates the agreed venue, culinary team, table, service timing and transport. Availability and third-party costs are confirmed before commitment.
Six private-dining settings
What each setting requires
Compare the setting, suitable occasions, culinary direction and coordination required for each format.
Planning reference
The city, after dark
An urban table that uses arrival, skyline and the next chapter of the evening as part of its composition.
Planning reference
Chinese fine dining, made personal
A chef or dining room responds to the guests closely enough that the menu becomes part of their conversation.
Planning reference
A dinner within the stay
A private meal belongs to the wider hotel journey rather than appearing as a separate reservation.
Planning reference
A residence, read anew
The character and rituals of a home guide an evening that never feels overtaken by production.
Planning reference
The landscape sets the pace
Season, weather and local practice determine how the guests move from place into conversation and food.
Planning reference
The late table
Drinks, music and a particular host let the evening change register after dinner without losing intimacy.
The cellar, edited
A world cellar, chosen with conviction.
The list reaches widely, but it is not indiscriminate. Burgundy and Italy sit beside the strongest work from Ningxia, Yunnan and other Chinese regions. Wine, spirits, cocktails and alcohol-free pairings earn their place through the food, the hour and the people drinking them.
The final producers, appellations, distilleries and vintages follow the menu and are confirmed against sourcing, venue permissions and availability.
Where the budget goes
Choose what matters most to the guests
One dinner may put most of the budget into the menu and wine; another into a private setting, music, transport or additional time with family.
The proposal separates Serica's fee from venue, culinary, production and transport costs so the trade-offs are visible.
