El chef Luis Carlos y su esposa fueron espectaculares para la celebración del cumpleaños de mi madre, no escatimaron en detalles y la calidad de los ingredientes es espectacular. Los platos y la atención fue de alta calidad, la calidez humana también es algo que resalto de su servicio. Fue una experiencia cercana que cumplió con mis expectativas al ser usuario de este tipo de servicios. Los recomiendo muchísimo para ocasiones especiales son los mejores.

Chef Elliott make our experience really wonderful and very memorable. The food was amazing and Elliott was a real hoot! Highly recommend. From Kim, Fiona, Mandy, Ang and Karen.

Daniel was very accommodating and understanding of allergy requirements in the group. The canapés and dessert in particular were excellent and he left the kitchen incredibly clean.

Chef Anthony Charlton was wonderful, and the food was delicious. We will definitely hire him again should the need arise.

Everything went perfectly. Food was amazing, deep flavors and good menu. This chef knows how to cook!! Very friendly team, I'm happy, that I chose them.

We were very happy with the food, presentation, serving and clean up done by Chef Joseph Henderek. I also appreciate the back and forth on the menu selection and the last minute guest food accommodation that Chef Henderek wonderfully made for us. We had a wonderful evening and our guests were impressed.

I cannot recommend Chef Francesco enough!! His communication was great. He worked hard to accommodate a food allergy and our group rated this the best meal we've had on our trip. I am so glad I found Take a Chef and I am beyond blessed to have picked the right chef.

Coralie est une cheffe d’une immense gentillesse et avec qui il a été très agréable de communiquer pour élaborer ensemble ce menu cadeau pour ma fiancée ! Elle avait de nombreuses idées et a su s’adapter à mes envies. Elle est arrivée à l’heure, accompagnée d’une assistante, et toutes les deux ont été agréables, discrètes mais sympathiques et se sont adaptées à notre rythme (et celui de notre bébé de six mois). Les plats étaient délicieux, très bien présentés, et copieux ! Elles sont parties à 20h30 avec le dessert au frigo ( pour nous laisser finir tranquillement) et la cuisine plus propre que jamais. Je conseille vivement l’expérience, merci beaucoup !

Jamie preparó una cena maravillosa en nuestra casa para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi esposa con amigos. La comida fue excepcional, con una presentación impecable y sabores deliciosos. Fue un verdadero placer contar con Jamie en nuestra casa y logró que la velada fuera muy especial. Lo recomendamos ampliamente y, sin duda, volveríamos a contratar sus servicios.

We had such a wonderful experience with Chef Renee and Chef Austin for our bachelorette party in Asheville! Chef Renee has such a fun, bubbly personality and brought great energy to the evening. The food was absolutely amazing, and both chefs did a fantastic job accommodating our group of 13. They were incredibly friendly, flexible, and easygoing, which made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. It was such a fun addition to our weekend, and we're so glad we chose Chef Renee for our special celebration. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a memorable private chef experience!

Fue una experiencia fantástica la atención del chef la predisposición la buena onda la calidad de la comida lo rico fue muy divertido a gusto lo super recomendaría

Dave made the evening very enjoyable and memorable with great food and a wonderful personality.

Our Chef Oren experience was truly amazing from the initial contact to the finale. He was professional, courteous, patient, informative and a pleasure to work with. Chef Oren explained each Tuscany dish with knowledge and pride. His grandmother supplies authentic olive oil directly from her grove in Italy. The flavour was incredible. Home baked focaccia finished in a wood stove with wood imported from Grandma. All the fresh produce direct from Chef Oren’s large, year round greenhouse. What a treat! I have no hesitation in recommending Chef Oren as your Private Chef. Trisha Oct 24/2026

The evening with Cheffe Meriem was a hit! The food was delicious. And everything along with it was pitch perfect. It was the first time using the service, and we were all impressed by the professionalism and discretion of the Cheffe as she set up and prepped the meal. The service and presentation of the food was impeccable and she left the kitchen cleaner than she found it :) Merci Cheffe Meriem!!

Since the request Vanessa and Nicolas are super engaged to make sure we picked to right choices for our special family celebration. Their suggestions about the menu and wines were fantastic and we enjoyed the delicious meal. They are delightful people to hire and they made sure we didn;t miss anything!

It was so amazing. Really a perfect day to remember. And every dish was just perfect

Excellent service from Federico Bossini, definitely would use again

Terry was amazing. He was really easy to get in touch with before the event and replied in a timely manner. His recommendation for the menu was great and any additions or alterations Terry made with ease. It was a brilliant evening and the food fitted perfectly in with the evening. Terry hit the brief perfectly.

Caleb was very good, punctual and had very good presentation.

Paola and her team were fantastic. We threw some curveballs at them last minute and she didn’t blink an eye. She was overly accommodating and her whole staff was friendly, professional and an all around delight. This was my first time using a private chef on vacation and after this experience I will try to do it for every trip. The scallop dish? Phenomenal. Flavors were layered and balanced. I also loved her short ribs and plaintain side dish (I usually think mashed plantains are too sweet but she made them savory and delicious!). I’m also still thinking about that tres leches cake… I wish I could’ve brought it home with me! 10/10 recommend Chef Paola and her team, it was an amazing meal and incredible experience!
