Gabo y su equipo, son excelentes. Desde que llegan te das cuenta de su calidad, no sólo como profesional sino como persona. Fue una hermosa experiencia compartir con él, un momento especial en familia. La presentación de los platos, es original, explicando cada detalle del mismo. La comida es excelente, su sabor, su textura. Sin dudas lo recomendaría para cualquier otro evento.

Claudia did a great job catering for our dinner. She was extremely flexible and responsive and very engaging with our guests. The food was presented very well and enjoyed by our guests. Thank you Claudia!

We recently hired Chef Sean for a 12-person dinner party, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. He prepared a spectacular 4-course meal where every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food! If you're looking for a professional, talented chef to elevate your next event, I can't recommend him highly enough.

The private chef George was outstanding. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and effortlessly. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with great attention to detail and high-quality ingredients. Every course was well balanced and thoughtfully composed. George himself was friendly, discreet, and created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere throughout the evening. Communication beforehand was smooth and reliable, and he adapted perfectly to our preferences. Overall, a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend George to anyone looking for an exceptional private dining experience.

Darius is an incredible chef. Very knowledgeable and with vast experience. Our food was impeccable. I would highly recommend Darius

Chef Lameese was extremely profession and provided an incredible display of flavours. I would highly recommend her. She exceeeded our expectations and went above and beyond to execute all details. Thank you Chef

Koch Noah war pünktlich und sehr professionell. Die Speisen waren sehr gut ausgewählt und qualitativ sehr hochwertig. Allen Gästen hat es sehr gut geschmeckt. Ich kann Ihn uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Wir hatten alle einen tollen Abend. Und das Beste: Die Küche sah danach aus wie neu. Ein rundum grandioser Service. Wir würden Koch Noah immer wieder buchen.

Chef Michael fulfilled the appointment and it was GREAT! We were hoping for a worry free family meal to celebrate my wife's birthday and Chef Michael DELIVERED. Menu was just as advertised - very punctual, prepared and had all items needed for the worry free evening we had hoped. The food was fantastic - every dish was just phenomenal. It was sooooooo much more relaxed than going to a restaurant worrying about reservation, parking, seating, etc. I would do it again - in fact I have as this was our second use of Take a Chef. If you want to make a great impression - give them a try - and if you are in NoVA - I highly recommend Chef Natalie/Michael.

We hired Juan as a private chef to cater a 40th birthday dinner, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. He prepared a beautifully executed 7-course menu that was customised especially for us, and every dish was absolutely incredible. He also went above and beyond by preparing a separate kids’ meal for the children, which was such a thoughtful touch and very much appreciated. The wait staff and bartender he supplied were fantastic as well professional, friendly, and attentive and they helped make the whole night feel seamless, relaxed, and really special. The wine pairings and cocktails were also outstanding and added so much to the experience. I honestly could not recommend him highly enough. He made the night amazing, and we can’t wait to book him again.

Chef Richard was amazing! He was respectful , punctual, professional, cleanly, and the dishes were out of this world delicious! The attention to detail of all of the courses was impeccable! Would 100% recommend Chef Richard for any of your events or gatherings.

We had the pleasure of having a private chef on Friday, and we were absolutely delighted with the entire experience. Both the dishes and the service were outstanding. Every course was beautifully prepared and incredibly delicious. The chef himself was very friendly, pleasant, and warm-hearted, which made the evening feel relaxed and special from the very beginning. After dinner, we had the chance to talk with him for a while, and it was fascinating to hear about his experiences and the places he has worked throughout his career. We would also like to highlight how professional he was in taking care of everything in the kitchen. After the dinner, he left the kitchen perfectly clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend him. Thank you again for such a memorable evening!

Tom is a fantastic rising chef. Flavours were vibrant and very well-balanced. Discreet, focused and personable, he arrived perfectly on time and left the kitchen spotless. A great experience. Would highly recommend.

Pablo y Camila llegaron en forma puntual. Con una remarcable calidez condujeron una cena entre amigos a un lugar de pleno disfrute de sabores y atención. Les estoy muy agradecido por su servicio, profesionalismo y calidez.

Chef Brendan was absolutely fantastic. Locally sourced ingredients, thoughtful menu combinations and wine pairings. Really made the evening a special occasion for our family. Will 100% use Chef Brendan again, & would highly recommend this experience to anyone...!

We had a wonderful celebration courtesy of Chef Jacob and his staff. They were attentive to needs, flexible, and went above and beyond with table setting, prep, and clean up. The dinner was also exactly what we wanted! Would absolutely recommend them.

My experience in working with Chef Drew was great. The menu was thoughtfully planned out and met all of my wishes. The food was incredible and the dinner service was great! Clean up was amazing as well. I would highly recommend and will use this service in the future.

Wonderful experience. Recommended.

Our chosen chef, Arnaud Cometti, was very important in helping to make our anniversary dinner unforgettable. First of all, the menu that he created for us was perfect. Then the food was amazing and the presentation and attention to detail were first class. He tailored the timing of each course to suit us throughout the evening and we never felt rushed nor had to wait.

Chef Jake made us a lovely meal. The arancini and mushroom gnocchi were delicious favourites. He was punctual and kind and did a great job in our Airbnb.

Chef Tielmann was every bit worth the money. He was very professional and engaging. We were a bit of a chaotic house with many babies, toddlers and kids but he took it in stride and presented a beautiful, delicious restaurant quality meal that we wouldn’t have been able to go out for with our large family.
