Espectacular todo! Puntualidad, calidad de los platos, flexibilidad a nuestros gustos, preparación y limpieza. María Antonieta hace realmente un gran trabajo. 100% recomendable

Sobrepasó mis expectativas. Fue una cena donde además de comer muy bien, aprendimos sobre las preparaciones. Una completa experiencia!

Nous avons adoré l'expérience. C'était une très belle réussite. Les plats étaient très bons avec une magnifique presentation et c'était très copieux. Chef très professionnel et soigné, il était aux petits soins. La cuisine était parfaitement nettoyée dans les suites.

Justin was not only very personable, but had a great bedside manner and put us completely at ease. It was a pleasure to have him in our home and the food was not only curated to our taste and preference, but was very delicious and well presented. Would highly recommend.

Merci à Lucas et Victor, nous avons passés un merveilleux moment. Tout de A à Z était parfait, l'arrivée, la présentation, le service, les plats tout était vraiment excellent, nous nous sommes régalés et nous avons également pu découvrir pleins de nouvelles saveurs grâce au chef qui a un très bon savoir, et également pu apprendre de nombreuses choses sur la cuisine dans le monde. Les produits étaient d'excellente qualité, les plats consistants et vraiment très bon. Je recommande vivement chef Lucas, encore merci !!! Réservez et vous ne serez pas déçu !!!

We had Alejandro for our dinner service last night! The food was absolutely incredible and he was such a genuine person! I can’t recommend him enough, he created such lovely dishes for our intimate elopement dinner! Thank you so much for everything Alejandro!

Incredible first experience !!! Thanks Damian

Grecko was such a great chef. He had great communication and entertained us along with cooking excellent food. My only regret is that we didn't book him for another day

Chef Jhade went so far above and beyond for the small dinner she catered for us. It was a celebration of life for a dear friend, and the food was filled with love. Veg and non-veg options were delicious, every bite was pure delight. She found us a bartender who was perfect and cleaned up immaculately. It was seamless and easy, but most importantly we all felt so held by the care of the chef and team at a dinner that we wanted to be a lifetime memory. It was. I hope to hire her again.

Chef Sal did an amazing job with the food preparation and the quality was five stars, no doubt! He is a great guy and we enjoyed his company. In fact, we would have enjoyed it even more if he could have had a bit more time for the performance part of the dinner, but we also understand that he was very attentive and focused on giving us the best meal possible in the time he had available, and in that regard, he succeeded greatly! Thank you for a wonderful meal, Chef Sal!

Chef Su was above and beyond our hopes for this event. We had a special occasion for which we wanted a private chef since there were kids who would have not lasted a long meal in a restaurant (4 and 8). Having this event at home with the attentive, kind and considerate Chef Su could not have been more perfect. The kids' meals were perfect, the adult meals would have cost a fortune in a restaurant for the kind of quality we were served and the service itself was impeccable. Chef Su kept everything clean, in order and on time. She adjusted to the kids and was super nice and attentive throughout. We very highly recommend Chef Su and thank her for making what was already a special event even more so (50th wedding anniversary with kids and grandkids - group of 11).

Incredible food and presentation, truly exceptional. The only negative was the pricing communication, which changed several times during the booking process, with additional charges being introduced and conflicting messages about what was included. This caused unnecessary confusion. Thankfully, the food itself was outstanding, and overall we had a fantastic evening.

Chef Greg was such a pleasure to work with. From the moment he responded on takeachef he was responsive and extremely helpful in preparing an amazing Italian meal experience. Our entire dinner party was blown away at how much flavor was packed into each dish. If you have the opportunity to have Chef Greg cook for you, you will not be disappointed!

Chef Sarah Jane was truly incredible! We were a big group with a lot of dietary restrictions and ended up being a bit delayed on the day of, but Chef Sarah was extremely patient and flexible. Then, the food was absolutely stellar, from the presentation to the taste. Thank you so much for making my birthday dinner meal so special!!

As a surprise anniversary celebration,I worked with Chef Alicia to re-create the meal served at our wedding 30 years ago and she did a great job. Her communication and responsiveness beforehand was effective and much appreciated, especially when I inadvertently booked the wrong date on the platform and had to change the night of our dinner on a day's notice. While Chef Alicia only had descriptions of the menu as I didn't have pictures of all the hors d'oeuvres and dishes, her executions were solid and in several instances extremely creative. And as this was an intimate dinner with only my wife and myself, her portions were generous, and resulted in some elegant lunch leftovers. My wife teaches cooking classes and is a demanding restaurant guest, and she was truly pleased with Chef Alicia's meal.

Best night of our life chef Rodrigo was outstanding the food was incredible clean up was incredible presentation incredible thanks so much

We booked Aaron for a dinner on our weekend away for a friend's birthday. He was great to communicate with while arranging the booking and discussing any food allergies, punctual and all of his food was delicious. The port poached pear was to die for! :)

Christian provided us with incredible service and delicious food for our birthday dinner! We can highly recommend him as a private chef!

Chef Ritianne catered for our family of 8 and had to consider a variety of dietary requirements. Communication in the lead up was excellent and her whole approach helped to make it a leisurely and magical evening. We were able to relax and enjoy our time together AND no clearing up for us. The kitchen was cleared & cleaned beautifully. We have no hesitation in recommending Chef Ritianne.

Great evening and meal. Everything we expected and more. Would highly recommend
