Chef Nate was great and made for a memorable family celebration

Chef Nathaniel was incredible. The food preparation and quality was excellent and every bite was enjoyed thoroughly. His presence was respectful and he had a nice demeanor. He cleaned up spotless and left the area more cleanly than it was before he arrived. Highly recommend.

Chef Nathaniel was everything we could hope for in a chef. Delicious food and professional.

It was great.

Nathaniel was very professional and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend him to others!

Nate was amazing from start to finish. He understood my brief and provided a menu that was exactly what I was looking for. Nate’s food was tasty, well seasoned and the presentation was excellent. He used good quality ingredients and our entire party had leftovers.

Nate was wonderful, he let me know early on he might be a bit late but regardless, the dinner was served on time. The food was very good, and Nate was really great about everything. My only recommendation would be to serve the hot courses hotter. Presentation was excellent, we really enjoyed everything and were so impressed with how Nate left the kitchen, so clean and tidy! It was a fantastic evening! Highly recommend.

Chef Nathaniel was amazing. Communication, food, and clean up were all top notch!

We booked a personal chef for supper to celebrate my mother in laws milestone birthday (for her and 7 others). She hasn’t stopped talking about how amazing it was. She said “the arancini was perfectly done! The roasted tomato soup was thick and creamy and so tasty! The beef Wellington was a beautiful tenderloin in really great light pastry. Everything including the vanilla bean ice cream was home made!” There were zero complaints and everyone couldn’t believe how unbelievable the food was. Will recommend Nathanial. 10/10!

Nathaniel did a great job for our dinner party. The portions were very well sized, great ingredients and incredible flavor in his food, especially the sauces. He handled everything so it was very enjoyable as the host. He was super polite, self sufficient, and a pleasure to have in our home.

Our chef made us feel like we were in a 5 Star resteraunt every meal He joined us for a week and kept us all guessing if his next meal would outdo the last. He was so accomodating and by the end of our time together we had made a new friend. We will be using his services again and would highly recommend him to our associates and friends. The experience was cost effective as well and the food and assortment and preparation was off the charts. Kudos to our Chef Nathanial Davis, we now consider him a friend.

Chef Nathaniel was amazing. We hosted a meal for family visiting out of town which included very young children. Chef was punctual, arriving on time and the meal service began when we agreed upon. Food was delicious with very generous portions. He left our kitchen better than when he arrived. Would definitely recommend
