Chef Molly and her team were extremely professional and provided a service beyond what we expected. The food and presentation were wonderful! Everyone was talking about the meal for days after. The experience could not have been any better! 100% would recommend!

Chef Tye is amazing! Responsive, punctual, and very professional! This is the second time I have used him for a dinner party… both for girls trips to Palm Springs. Dishes were not only beautiful but were super yummy! There was one vegan in the group and he made her dishes just as wonderful and thought out as the rest! So impressed! Would highly recommend!

Tomás is an incredibly talented, humble and creative chef we have ever met. He and his teammate, Gabriela, not only accommodated our “local dish” requests, but they also educated us on the best that Portugal has to offer. All whilst becoming part of the family. First class food, first class service and first class people. We cannot recommend Tomas and Gabriella any higher. We loved every moment and will be back as soon as possible.

Chef Sakis and his team were amazing! Outstanding meal and experience. Highly recommended.

Eva made my husband's 40th birthday truly special, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She kindly accommodated our request for a beautiful pavlova birthday cake, which was the perfect finishing touch to a wonderful evening. From the moment she arrived, she was incredibly professional and punctual. She took care of everything seamlessly—from preparing and serving each course to leaving the kitchen spotless afterwards—allowing us to completely relax and enjoy the celebration. Travelling with three children, who can be quite picky eaters, can be a challenge, but Eva was so warm and patient with them. She even welcomed our daughter, who dreams of becoming a chef, to watch her cook and generously shared a few tips that absolutely made her day. Beyond the exceptional food, Eva was a delight to spend the evening with. She was knowledgeable about every dish she served, happily shared recipes for some of our favourites, and even recommended wonderful local food producers and places to visit in the area. It felt like having both an outstanding private chef and a local guide. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we wouldn't hesitate to book Eva again the next time we're in the area. Thank you for helping create such a memorable celebration!

The chef plated on time and adjusted the speed of service to our preferences. He made sure we knew about the dishes and were enjoying them. Our favourite was the tuna tartare...aaamazing. There was definitely more food than we could manage so nobody goes hungry with him!

Chef Esh-Marie made our family vacation more than we expected it would be. Her food tastes just as good as it looks, she is a delightful person to speak with and her service was incredible. If you are looking for a chef that is attentive to your needs, definitely book her. Thank you Chef for everything!

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!
