Chef Josh and his team were AWESOME!! He was very engaging. I gave him a time frame and he nailed it. He arrived on time (before time) and ended on time. They were all very professional. Chef Josh explained every dish in full detail. Some of the guest are already requesting his information for future events. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a chef for a private event. He get 1000/10.

Chef Manny was easy to work with. He was punctual and engaging. The guests enjoyed his personality and the food was great!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Nikos for our private anniversary dinner at home. From the very first moment, everything felt natural, warm, and effortless — it truly felt like welcoming a friend who also happens to be an outstanding chef. The food was exceptional: beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and full of flavor. Each course was thoughtfully prepared and adapted to our preferences, and the overall menu felt refined yet comforting at the same time. It was restaurant-quality cuisine, elevated by the intimacy of being at home. What really made the evening special, though, was Nikos himself. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine passion for what he does created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. He took care of everything — ingredients, cooking, serving, and cleaning — so we could simply enjoy the evening together without any stress. It was a truly memorable experience and the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. We would not hesitate for a second to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a unique, high-quality private dining experience. Thank you again, Nikos, for such a beautiful evening.

Marius was outstanding! He was very communicative prior to the event and clearly cared about the quality of his work. Each dish was presented beautifully, and tasted incredible. We will definitely be using Marius again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for a private chef.

Fabio cooked a great 4-course dinner, taking into account our requests, and even did the service to go along. He was a great person to have in the house with even better cooking skills. He made our night!

Chef Alberto was a remarkable host, with a beautiful menu, which accommodated dietary restrictions and managed to taste and look amazing. The service was amazing and he was very easy to work with and very communicative. Above and beyond his cooking, he taught us so much about the city, with his recommendations for restaurants. Thank you, Chef for your remarkable and memorable contributions to our visit to Mexico City.

Viet was very organized, punctual, and truly dedicated. He brought all the necessary equipment. During services, he explained the contents of the beautifully presented dishes. The portions were very generous. The dishes were delicate and flavorful. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

Chef Jennie was incredible! It made our private dining experience a dream.

Chef Kim was absolutely incredible. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a special day. Our guests remarked that this was one of the best meals they ever had, and it was a treat to hear the ingredients and backstory behind each dish. Would 100% recommend and go with him again for any special occasion!

Chef Sean was great! Everything was to our liking and he was flexible in dealing with our needs. The food was great and very well presented. Chef Sean thought of everything and took care of everything, making the evening very enjoyable. He helped to make the evening very special and I would definitely recommend Chef Sean for any special event.

Our chef was great. No complaints.

Chef Isabel Ortega is nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first bite, it was clear that her cooking is driven by passion, precision, and soul. Every dish was beautifully presented, thoughtfully balanced, and bursting with bold, authentic flavor. You can feel the care and intention behind each ingredient—nothing was overlooked. Beyond her undeniable talent in the kitchen, Chef Isabel brings warmth, professionalism, and an effortless grace to the entire experience. She creates food that doesn’t just taste incredible, but tells a story and brings people together. This was more than a meal—it was an experience we’re still talking about. If you have the opportunity to dine with Chef Isabel Ortega, take it. She is a true artist and an absolute gem. Highly, highly recommend.

Andrea et son assistante nous ont proposé une très belle soirée en respectant notre budget initial. Nous avons particulièrement aimé la décoration de table pour laquelle nous avions envoyé nos inspirations qui ont été parfaitement respectées. Nous nous sommes régalés durant ce court voyage culinaire en Italie, nous recommandons fortement le Chef Andrea !

Chef Warren and his team we're fantastic. They were professional, engaging, punctual, and everything was well thought out to create a great experience for us and our guests. The food was delicious. We will definitely hire him again.

Chef Arturo connected before the event well, prepared a delicious, beautifully displayed meal and cleaned up well. He was on time and engaged well with our family. Would highly recommend him.

Chef Franko was professional and thoughtful in how he curated the dishes for our experience. He was friendly throughout the evening and did a great job describing each course as we ate, which added a personal touch. The meal was served family style, which worked well for our group. Portions were very generous, and there was more than enough food for everyone. We appreciated receiving a printed recipe afterward, which was a nice and unexpected detail. Due to heavy traffic in the area, we ended up eating about 30 minutes later than planned. One item we had discussed in advance and were especially looking forward to was not included, though the meal itself was still enjoyable and well prepared. He cleaned up the kitchen and the items he used during cooking, though tableware and dishes from the family-style meal were left for us to clear. A solid experience with good hospitality and plenty of food.

Tout s'est très bien passé, pourtant il y avait du défi: 3 entrées + 2 plats pour 11 personnes = 55 assiettes à sortir. Je recommande!

Grâce à Alessandro et Take a chef nous avons vécu une expérience unique. Alessandro est sympathique, discret, professionnel, et sa cuisine est un délice. Il évolue de façon tout à fait autonome dans une cuisine qu’il ne connaît pas, je le recommande fortement !

Very kind chef. The food was very tasty and we have a very great time. It was like beeing in a restaurant at home with same service ! I recommend chef Adrien !

Chef Steven was wonderful! He arrived timely. Food was amazing. He was extremely upbeat and brought great energy. What he could do in that kitchen in such a short time was amazing. He also cleaned up perfectly. Really pleased with my experience!
