C’est excellent, professionnel et parfait pour nous !

Graziella and team were great in every aspect of the night. The best part was the food - excellent !!!! Highly recommend

Amazing! An 11 out of 10!

Flawless pleasant experience

Chef Thiago was absolutely amazing! It was very easy to work with him to plan our meal, and he made every dish so delicious. We ate every last bite, and were completely satisfied. He truly made this celebration something special we will never forget.

Todo perfecto

these guys were great and all the food was great

We enjoyed Rebecca so very much! Her attention to delicious detail allowed our family to focus on what was most important--we had all traveled from 4 states to be together, and we got to do just that! The food was truly delicious with perfect portions; and best of all, the kitchen was spotless! Thank you so much, Rebecca! This was our first time using Take a Chef, and we will definitely be using them again because of this lovely experience.

Very professional

Chef Jhon Jhon did amazing work! From menu creation/proposal and drinks to cooking and serving the meal he was professional and polite. His Steak frites bites with a chimichurri dipping sauce was amazing! The Lobster Bisque was deliciously rich with great flavor and big chunks or lobster. The entree of Filet Mignon with a béarnaise sauce and crispy Brussels was perfectly cooked to our preference. And the dessert pastries were all delicious! The cocktail he crafted for us to start with was incredible, expertly crafted and served. If Chef Jhon Jhon proposes a menu for you, you are sure to have an incredible meal, by a talented chef.

Andrew was amazing!! He went above and beyond and made a 50th birthday dinner so special. He surprised us with making ice cream in front of us and adding it to the dessert. He also helped us figure out the TV in the airBnb so we could watch the hockey game!! THANKS ANDREW!!

Truly satisified with Chef Alex - both with communication and food, cleaning the kitchen after himself, presentating delicious food and a very comfortable chef to have in our house. Highly regimene!

Chef Emanuele Zito did an amazing job! All his dishes were delicious. My favorite dish was his alfredo pasta and shrimp dish. I never tasted anything so wonderful. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks

Chef “Mac” is amazing, so communicative, polite, professional and fun! His meals were awesome and he worked great with us and our dietary restrictions! He set up the tables perfectly and he and his helpers made the evening amazing! Would Hugo recommend him! Thank you so much!

It was amazing having Chef Michael with us. He explained a lot and the food was really special to us. We love trying new ingredients and his menu was so delicious and completely different to everything we had so far. Thank you so much again! All the best Tobi & Jenny

The entire experience was flawless and I couldn’t be happier with Alessandro. The menu and presentation of the food was just perfect and Alessandro took care to ensure my three year old granddaughter was also catered for. He was simply awesome from start to finish and left the kitchen and home spotless. I would thoroughly recommend the experience and in particular Alessandro.

Es una chica encantadora y lo hace genial ????????

Extraordinaire c’est le mot! Repas absolument divin! Un vrai restaurant gastronomique à la maison avec un chef agréable qui présente des plats sublimes et excellents! Le menu proposé était parfait et et le chef sait s’ capter en fonction des envies de chacun. Un service à table parfait et une cuisine plus propre que jamais avant son départ. Je le recommande et surtout nous gardons son contact pour faire appel à lui de nouveau! C’est la 4eme fois que nous prenons un chef à domicile et il était de loin de meilleur de tous. Merci 1000 fois à lui.

Great experience! Fantastic communication, flexible with schedule and meal was amazing.
