Chef Nicolas Devenelle

Chef Nicolas had a last minute family emergency come up and the team he assembled to cover was top notch! We had some allergies and menu changes and everything was prepared perfectly for our group even though he needed to find a substitute Chef. One item that I wish I'd known up front: my group did everything family style and we just assumed that all leftovers between courses would be packed. Unfortunately that was not the case - only a handful of specific items were packed. Other than that, the whole experience was amazing and I'd recommend Chef Nicolas to anyone looking for a special occasion!

Chef Nicholas and his team were incredible! The service was very attentive, the food was delicious - overall a great experience. Highly recommend!

He was so amazing!! So sweet, educated, and very clean! We loved all of the food so much!! Highly recommend!!!

This was such a treat! I'd recommend if you're looking for very good food and don't mind different chefs coming in and out vs having one individual that you work with the whole time. The food was consistently very good, although some dishes were of course better than others. While delicious, the salads were fairly similar (same dressing, same lettuce) - if you do multiple nights, I'd recommend mixing up the type of starter you choose. We never actually met Nicolas, which was a bit of a surprise. I had assumed we'd be working with the individual I'd been directly in touch since it was never mentioned that anyone else might be involved. Instead, other chefs that work with Nicolas came. Luckily, they were all lovely - friendly (to us and our very energetic 3-yr old), engaging, and genuinely wanting us to enjoy our meals. We were totally comfortable having the different chefs in our space; they were happy to work around us as needed. Most did a great job of cleaning up, but the floor was a little messy on a couple of occasions.

Chef Nicolas is all around amazing ! His dishes were very fresh and flavorful. The display was amazing and he was great company ! Would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting the area !

We have nothing but good things to say about this experience! We had our dinner our last night in Costa Rica and it was the perfect way to end our trip. The menu was one we tailor made from the many options Chef Nicolas offered and everything was delicious and presented so fantastically. We 100% recommend take a chef and Chef Nicolas!

Chef Nicolas and Maria prepared an amazing meal. They also made the best mojitos I had my entire trip! I would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

I had the most incredible chef ever!!! Chef Nicolas Devenelle was AMAZING. Not only was his food the most mouth watering, tastiest food ever but his personality was outstanding!! He was so sweet and informative. Wish I could’ve packed him in my suit case, lol I could eat his food everyday.

He was amazing . The stove went out and he still completed the meal

Highly recommend the Chef Nikolas and his team. We would hire him again the next time we visit the area.
