Chef Jason BLEW OUR EXPECTATIONS AWAY. We celebrated our first wedding anniversary by hiring him for a 4 course dinner. He was phenomenal and his food was mouth-watering, delicious, beautiful, and all together FANTASTIC. His table decorations were gorgeous. I had mentioned that it was our anniversary prior to the dinner and he was SO kind to bring us an anniversary card! Also, he had printed menus for the both of us. It is tradition that a gift for your first wedding anniversary should be “paper,” so he kindly signed the menus with the date and we already have one hanging in our home! It is beautiful! We cannot stop talking about how amazing Chef Jason’s food was. We had the best scallops we have ever had in our life and a sweet potato purée with lobster that has me STILL dreaming. We were so full by the end of the meal but we had to finish with dessert because Chef made us the best opera cake we’ve ever tasted— especially with his special spin on it. If you hire Chef Jason, you will not be disappointed. He is respectful, fun, and creates some of the best food in the world. We are “foodies” and have eaten at so many Michelin-star restaurants and Chef Jason is better than most we’ve eaten at. Thank you Chef Jason! We cannot wait to hire you again.

Chef Richard was incredibly easy to work with and his food was delicious! He responded quickly to any questions we had and helped us plan a wonderful family dinner celebration. We highly recommend Chef Richard.

Chef Gerson was absolutely incredible. He arrived right as scheduled. He was such a great conversationalist and talked us through the amazing ingredients he was using for the dish. The presentation of the food was beautiful and at the last minute when we realized one of the guests was unable to eat the appetizer dish, he wihipped up an incredible salad right on the spot.

Chef Sean Morrell prepared a beautiful and delicious meal for my family celebrating my mother’s birthday. He worked with me in advance to design the exact menu we wanted, then worked around our schedule for when we wanted each course served. It was the best meal we had in a long time! Thank you Chef Sean!

Peter and Amanda’s team work to provide an excellent dinner to me and our 6 friends was fantastic!! We could highly recommend them and will use the service again! Top notch!

great food, great service ,great event

Chef Kadak was brilliant! He sent the menu beforehand and catered for everyones needs. He was very punctual and just got on with it and the food was exceptional. I would highly recommend him for catering in bali, we were a group of 7 and it was flawless.

Jela was the perfect chef. Nothing was a problem, the food was delicious and innovative and she was very charming. She made our family occasion very special.

Chef Marzia and her sous-chef Antonio served us an incredible Sardinian dinner feast, paired it with wines, as we had requested, and left us with beautiful memories of our special evening. We would highly recommend you hire her when you visit Cagliari! She had many options we could chose from her menu and it was particularly impressive that she could pull off such a wonderful meal with the less-than-ideal kitchen we had at our rental home. Marzia and Antonio were such gracious and professional workers and set us up and served our meal on our outdoor patio. They paid excellent attention to all our needs. The food was fresh and delicious and very abundant. We had lots of leftovers. Thank you Chef Marzia for a memorable evening that was the highlight of our vacation!

Our private chef experience with Ismael was phenomenal. He put together a fantastic menu and truly listened to what I was looking for. He was professional, tidy, and diligent - and the food was beyond restaurant quality, it was incredible and there was so much of it! He even made my partner's birthday dessert extra special with some candles. The experience was everything I had hoped for and more, thank you so much Ismael for everything!

He did a great job! Very easy to work with and everything tasted amazing!

Brittany was so nice! She had a wonderful spread for us when we arrived back to the house. She coursed everything perfectly. She was very accommodating to our groups needs and dietary restrictions. I would highly recommend her and take a chef to anyone.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment grâce au chef Christophe Azar, au delà de nos attentes ! Un menu succulent et superbement présenté de A à Z, une qualité de service irréprochable, tout était parfait ! Un repas de haut niveau ! Merci encore

We were absolutely blown away with Elia’s service. She took care of absolutely everything, was incredibly intuitive which meant we didn’t have to worry about anything and were able to relax and enjoy our event and the delicious meal without having to get involved at all. Elia was very accommodating to our dietary requirements. The food was incredible- steak cooked beautifully and the ravioli was a favourite amongst our guests. Creative menu and executed really well. Highly recommend!

Svetlana was the sweetest chef that could have ever found my friend group and I! I asked her for absolutely everything for 15 people and she delivered some of the most BEAUTIFUL AND DELICIOUS food I have ever had. We had so many allergies at play, and dietary restrictions, and it truly felt like all of those things didn’t exist. We could all eat freely, and as much as we wanted. I can not recommend Svetlana enough!!! <3 Her story was so touching, and she truly has a way with food like none other! I had so much fun sharing in the excitement of planning all of these stunning meals. I will 100% be in need of Svetlana's services again! Thank you for making a special weekend so over the top magical!

We had an amazing experience with our private chef and would absolutely give five stars. The food was incredibly delicious, and the entire experience felt very professional from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout, the chef was very punctual, and we really appreciated the detailed explanations of each dish. The cleanup afterward was also done extremely well, which made the whole evening feel effortless for us. We especially loved the risotto and the mango salad — both were outstanding. If we come back to the Irvine area again, we would definitely book again. Highly recommend!

The meal was excellent. Nikola treated us to a wonderful dinner.

Laurent a été à l’écoute, sympathique, discret et professionnel. Bravo !

Chef Pedro made our Dominican experience one to remember! He was professional, prompt, polite and the service was incredible. Our meal for 6 was prepared and cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend Chef Pedro, and if we are ever back in DR we will absolutely hire him again. 10/10

We hired Demaride as a private chef for our group holiday in Italy — 6 adults and 8 children — and she exceeded our expectations in every way. Planning the menu in advance was effortless. Demaride handled everything smoothly, including doing all the shopping ahead of time when she realized the local shops would be closed due to a public holiday. That kind of initiative made a real difference. On the day, Demaride arrived on time and served dinner exactly when promised — which was especially important with so many children in the group. She prepared wonderful adult dishes alongside thoughtfully adapted kids' menus, keeping everyone happy at the table. Demaride was warm, professional, and genuinely a pleasure to have around. Every single person in our group loved her, and the food was absolutely to our full satisfaction. We would book Demaride again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a private chef in Italy.
