Chef & Sommelier
Adour Alain Ducasse · Two Michelin Stars
Certified Sommelier, Court of Master Sommeliers
Raul Alejandro brings a singular combination of credentials to the private dining world — Michelin-starred experience, Sommelier certification from the Court of Master Sommeliers, and an MBA in International Hospitality Management from Paris.
Trained under Sirio Maccioni at Le Cirque and part of the opening team at Adour Alain Ducasse at The St. Regis — where the restaurant earned two Michelin stars — Raul has spent two decades mastering the art of exceptional hospitality at the highest level.
With Carte Blanche, he brings that world to your table.
The Menu
Every evening begins with a conversation. Together, we design the meal that is right for you.
The finest expression of comfort. Elevated preparations of the familiar — dishes that feel like home, executed with the precision of a Michelin kitchen.
A culinary passage through the cities and cultures that shaped Raul's craft — from Paris to New York, San Juan to the coast of California. The world, at your table.
For the genuinely adventurous. An invitation to be surprised, challenged, and transported — a complete narrative in courses, paired with wines drawn from the world's finest cellars.
The Table
Every course tells a story.
Every plate is a destination.
How It Works

Raul crafts a bespoke menu and wine pairing built entirely around your evening.
Every detail is sourced, prepared, and arranged — your home becomes the stage.
An experience your guests will speak of long after the last course is cleared.
