Meet the owner & chef

Founded in 2020, Delectable Designs by Nicole started as a place to share food blogs and inspiration from one Foodie to another. It grew into intimate evenings in Chef’s Kitchen, Wine & Dine events, and Food Design consultation. 

In June of 2021 (after 18 years in education), Nicole decided to take a hiatus as a Special Education Coordinator to devote her full attention to her new business adventure. 

Nicole, the owner and a foodie, enjoys educating and catering to others. She believes that food design is an art, one that’s bursting with sensational flavors, filling the hearts of all foodies alike. While paying attention to small details, Nicole’s plating is next level. She takes pride in discovering unique flavors with the perfect cocktail pairings.

Nicole encourages you to expand your palate and visit soon.

On-Site Private Events

A Night in Chef's kitchen

WINE-down Hours

Imagine having an entire restaurant to yourself. Well, you can! Not only will Chef work closely on a personalized menu and custom craft libations, but her attention to detail will not go unnoticed, making the private event a memorable one.

 A Night in Chef’s Kitchen is the ultimate Foodie experience. Seats are right at Chef’s Kitchen, where you watch the preparation and designing of a 5-Course meal (with or without cocktail/wine pairing). It is one of your top culinary experiences as a Foodie!  

Day or night, our relaxing WINE-down Tuesday is the perfect way to get you through the week. Enjoy your wine flight, a personal charcuterie board, a microbrew, or a small plate as you relax at the window high-tops, the intimate bar, or the leather seating throughout our space.

Kind Words

I was blown away by our dining experience tonight. If I had one thing to give constructive criticism, it would be that I wanted one more mushroom on my small plate (they were that good)! Everything was beyond amazing! The cocktail pairings were perfect, and Nicole did an amazing job matching flavors with food and amazing drinks. Her restaurant and personality are the best backdrops for an incredible dining experience. I must say that it was the greatest meal, that was so thoughtfully thought out, with amazing flavors and spot-on presentation! It was beyond my already high expectations!!! This was such a special evening that exceeds any restaurant I have ever been to. Food Network stars, beware!

We hired Chef Nicole for a private brunch for 12 in our home. It was 3-courses of heaven. Flavors burst in our mouths. Wonderful service and fabulous food.

I think we can all agree on the food at Chef Nights by Nicole Doyle is unforgettable. But, another part of Chef Nights I’m eternally grateful for, is the friendships made. I’m grateful for the laughter, the happiness, and the memories with Nicole and other Foodies each Chef Night brings. So today (okay tonight), I raise a glass to toast Nicole and Chef Nights, not only for her delectable creations but also, for the cherished memories these nights bring.

Sneak peek into our INCREDIBLE dinner with Chef Nicole Doyle! Hands down, the best meal of my life, and I work for a hotel & restaurant company. Each course was just as spectacular as the previous one. What a fabulous night with my amazing best friends and, of course, my wonderful hub! Nicole - we seriously are still drooling. YOU ARE A GODDESS!

- Lauren

My dear, I thank you for your amazing, talented, gastronomic gifts and for taking a leap of faith and bringing the community together in a loving, connected environment with such creativity and pleasure. We are so blessed with a real destination place in the little town of Farmington. It was beyond amazing! Nicole, thank you for your many gifts, the space you created, the mastery of food, and your ability to transform adults into life-celebrating youth!
