Chef Rudy was fantastic and really made sure to give us a memorable experience. He was attentive, conversational, and extremely respectful. It was such a great night and I would highly recommend it!

Chef Amado provided us with an incredible experience throughout our trip. He was very polite, attentive and flexible. The food was incredible, haven’t received a single dish we weren’t happy with and and some of them we are still talking about after the trip. Dinners truly were the highlights of our days and the guests were blown away by the end of every meal. Chef Amado provided his professional expertise when helping me to decide on the menus, while factoring in any requests or edits we had. Overall this was a great experience and I would 100% recommend hiring Chef Amado for your event/ trip.

Great food, great fun and a great experience. Chef Salmon did an incredible job and his food was amazing.

Great food and great experience

Chef Bartolo Favaloro and his partner Marta were absolutely AMAZING. They created the dinner for my small wedding and I can honestly say I have never tasted a better meal. It’s been two weeks now, and my guests are still talking about some of the dishes they served. Chef and his team were so helpful through the whole process with us….helping us design the perfect meal for our day and offering perfect suggestions. On the day of, everything went so smoothly….they were so professional and it was like everything just appeared like magic (even though I know the team was working furiously behind the scenes). Marta was so wonderful, friendly and kind, I felt like she was a friend attending the wedding. I am so lucky I picked Chef Bartolo, Marta and their team for my dinner, and can’t recommend them enough! If you are lucky enough to taste some of their dishes, you will be grateful.

Mateus was amazing... He worked with me on the menu and the dishes were unique and delicious. He showed up on time and left our kitchen spotless. Highly recommend!

Chef Lenny was EVERYTHING! The food was beyond delicious – a perfect blend of Latin fusion with a Caribbean twist that felt like a mini vacation on our plates, all beautifully paired with white wine. But it wasn’t just the food; Chef Lenny brought the whole experience together with great conversation and plenty of laughs. He explained each dish like it was a masterpiece (because it was) and cooked everything to perfection. We've had chefs before, but Chef Lenny is hands down our favorite. Don’t even think twice – you NEED Chef Lenny to cook for you!

Chef Salvatore was amazing! He arrived timely, greeted himself and was engaging with the group. As he presented each course, he thoroughly explained it. He didn't rush us through any of the courses, allowed us to socialize and cleaned off the table after each course. He catered to each of our requests. Each course was creative, exceptional and picture perfect. The kitchen was left spotless. I highly recommend Chef Salvatore.

Chef Joe was amazing! Everyone agreed our 3 meals with Chef Joe were our favorite. It was the highlight of our trip to the Catskills. The food was fresh, incredible, and delicious. We enjoyed learning about his story and all his inspiration. He worked so well with us in designing the dishes and truly listened to our input and feedback. We are already trying to plan our next opportunity to have him again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! (but selfishly want to keep him our secret)

muy simpatico el chef, siempre muy dispuesto a que solo salga bien en ese momento. Muy simpatica para explicarnos las cosas, bien progesional.

WE LOVE CHEF KIM! I planned a bachelorette party for 18 ladies and Chef Kim curated a menu for 3 breakfast and 2 dinners. The bride and guest were extremely surprised and happy. We are from the DC area and for us to be able feel comfortable with him and his staff for our time in Palm Springs, CA was out of this world. While planning months in advance he was patient with me, supportive of ideas and any last minute menu changes. I am telling you he will not disappoint.

Chef Mirco and his wife cooked us truly a 5 star meal. They literally only had 2 burners to work off of and they did a phenomenal job!! It was basically magic. There were 5 of us total and they gave us large portions of bruschetta, homemade mushroom truffle ravioli, FILET MIGNON, broccoli and puréed cannellini beans. We were so full and satisfied at the end, but we had to have their Tiramisu. They gave us many options before we settled on our menu and really understood what we wanted. Truly cannot recommend Chef Mirco and his wife Chef Dora enough!

Kat was excellent. She was very engaging while also giving us time to enjoy our dinner. The food was excellent, as was the presentation, and she brought decor to make the evening extra special. We highly recommend Kat as it was an amazing experience.

Chef Wayne was awesome, he created some awesome meals, we were all stuffed when we were finished with our meals. He did everything to make our dining experience great!! Made our trip!! Would recommend Chef Wayne to everyone!!!

Annalisa é stata molto gentile e sorridente. La proposta del menù ha rispecchiato le nostre esigenze. Esperienza da ripetere!

Madeleine was a brilliant private chef. She gave me a great selection and range of items to choose from, and importantly, was extremely flexible with additional requests I made. I highly recommend her. Very user friendly. If you want a great private chef experience with someone who does their absolute best to accommodate your needs, choose Madeleine.

He was very kind and easily able to adapt to kitchen environment. The food was very good, service was timely, and clean up was impeccable. Would definitely recommend for your next group dinner in the Catskills!

Chef Cindy is a joy to work with from start to finish. She took care to come up with a menu that worked well for our group and individual’s various needs (gluten free, etc.) and efficiently prepared a delicious & memorable dinner for our group of 9. And the homeowner’s kitchen was spotless at the end which made it even better. Would definitely work with her and her lovely assistant Kara again.

Más que excelente! Gracias Chef Mauricio

Chef Ashok was indescribable. He was so warm and inviting. He made the night magical for my spouse and I. The food was …I’m speechless. I will DEFINITELY be hiring again. 100/10
