Chef Danté was communicative, interesting, kind, helpful, flexible, and most importantly an INCREDIBLE chef. The food blew everyone away! And chef left the house in great condition. Truly a great human. Will be looking forward to connecting with him again for another meal one day soon

Dante is awesome! My visitors were very happy to experience a family style first-class experience. Highly recommended!
