We booked with Chef Charlene, but got David and his brother Ricardo instead. They worked for her, so we were a bit surprised that she wasn't with them. With that said, David and Ricardo were amazing! They did a great job describing each dish and the presentation was beautiful. We all loved each and every dish and would definitely have them back to cook for us again.

We had a great dinner! The chefs were friendly and talkative. I would do it again if i had the chance.

We truly enjoyed the experience. Service was exceptional.

Chef David and his brother did a spectacular job having to change the menu at the last minute due to a drop in the number of guests to be served. Instead of a traditional wine pairing, they made custom tropical drinks for each course which was unexpected but very much appreciated. They would make any party proud to have hired them.

This is an amazing experience. The chefs are excellent at creating a menu that both highlights the local ingredients and elevating the dining experience into something magical. They incorporated our family into the cooking process while also allowing us space to enjoy a truly private and amazing dining experience. This was our Thanksgiving dinner and it was the best meal we had as a family in Costa Rica and we would absolutely do it again. Worth every colone or dollar and honestly they should charge more!

David and Ricardo were excellent, 5 courses with 2 deserts including a beautiful gluten free chocolate cake made my 40th birthday special.

It felt like eating in a Michelin star restarts guys were so good! Excellence service and even better food! Just amazing!

Amazing food, great people!

Wonderful experience , the presentation of each dish is an artwork, the flavor of each dish is great and unique.

Every plate was delicious, well-thought and executed! I loved how you took Costa Rican traditional dishes and elevated each one to a whole new level. Highly recommended, specially to people from other countries.

El servicio recibido por el Chef David y Charlene fue mucho más de lo esperado. La experiencia gastronómica, la fusión de sabores y el servicio personalizado es excelente. Todos los platillos preparados estuvieron riquísimos. Definitivamente contrataría sus servicios de tener la oportunidad nuevamente. Para completar, se tomaron el tiempo para obsequiar un detalle a mi esposa quien cumplía años. Nosotros disfrutamos el servicio como pareja, la experiencia de seguro seria igual de única con un familión o grupo de amistades. Gracias.

Great service, great food. Made it to our mountainside rental, even in a torrential rainstorm!

Tuvimos la mejor experiencia gastronómica con el Chef David y la Chef Charlene, hizo de nuestra velada una noche inolvidable llena de sabor, texturas, color, aroma, calidad, variedad, cada plato en nuestra mesa era toda una experiencia. Sin duda deben de contratar este servicio. Realmente vale la pena en todos sus sentidos.

Surprised my mom for her birthday with a personal chef breakfast, and it was her favorite part of the trip. Food was delicious, communication was easy, and we didn’t have to do anything besides provide a kitchen. Highly recommend for a unique experience

If you have the chance, book Chef Victoria for your vacation. We loved her breakfast and dinner and she was very accommodating. We wished we would’ve booked her for more days! It was beyond.

Would book again in a heart beat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our private experience with Chef Victoria. Would definitely do it again! Flavors and presentation were on point!

Charlene was very accommodating & flexible to my needs. She was very responsive to my messages and menu changes. The dishes prepped were visually appealing and delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Chef Charlene and Chef David were amazing ! I was visiting Costa Rica during a birthday/girls trip! My friend booked them and they exceeded our expectations! Everything was great !!

Los chefs fueron super atentos y muy serviciales. Llegaron puntual a la casa y ordenaron la comida de forma rápida y muy bien presentada. Recomiendo sus servicios
