Chef Mac was amazing! We utilized his services two nights and both nights the food and experience were exceptional. We enjoyed not only the food but the conversation with Mac! I would 2000% hire him again!

Audrianna's Catering was great and I would definitely hire again for our next visit!

Chef Alister McMaster was incredible. From the moment we started exchanging menus to the moment we sat down to enjoy these meals, it was an easy and enjoyable experience. His cooking was phenomenal and his presence in our kitchen was a delight. Thanks

This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Food was excellent, service was excellent, chefs engaging with our party of 4 was off the charts!

This was such a treat to get several 5 course meals during our stay in St. Thomas. The food was delicious, presented beautifully and served professionally. Chef was delightful to talk with and accommodating to our picky eaters. We loved trying new dishes and enjoying such a wonderful variety. Thank you for such a treat!

Chef Mac was truly incredible. I hired him for a bachelor party of 13 guys and he was responsive, punctual, professional, friendly and blew us away with his menu. We needed breakfast dropped off one morning before an excursion and he made it happen. We asked for some last minute changes and he rolled with it. One of the guys is a chef in NYC and believes chef Mac’s grilled lamb is the best he’s ever had. If you are looking for a private chef in the USVI, I can’t imagine anyone being better than chef Mac. You will NOT regret it!

We enjoyed Alister’s company. He is very personable. We enjoyed the dinner very much. The food was delicious.

Chef Mac was excellent! Not only did he prepare an amazing meal, he shared the story behind everything and engaged us in great conversation. The next time we come to the island, we will call Chef Mac!!

Great meal! Awesome service would definitely book again. Beef and salmon were cooked perfectly and more than enough for a second meal!

Our chef was good but the company forgot to give him our order for our sons birthday cake so he did not have a cake which was disappointing. It was ordered and paid for already so not very professional on Take A Chefs part.

We hired Chef Allister for both a Brunch & Dinner for our Family of 15's visit to St John last week. He and his assistant were incredible. Terrific food, great service and recommendations, and made our family feel at home. It truly added to our very memorable family vacation being spectacular. Steve D.

Chef Alister was great and very professional the food was great thank you for making my son 13th birthday special !

My chef was absolutely phenomenal! All the food tasted so amazing and my guest and I couldn’t believe it! He went the extra mile to make sure my day was very special. Everyone should taste his food! I will definitely be sharing and re-booking! Thank you so much for everything!

I applaud his tenacity for the art of cooking and exceptional customer service. He was actually early to make sure ALL accommodations were feasible. This was a surprise birthday dinner for my gf and she loved every minute of the dinner. He exceeded my expectations! Thanks for making my gf’s birthday a night to remember! I would highly recommend Chef Alister

Chef McAlister was fantastic! His food was made from the heart and we could not have been more pleased. We were provided delicious choices to select from and he was very accommodating when we had recommendations as well. We were a group of six people that were not very easy to please and he knocked it out of the park! Alister was patient, punctual, considerate, and focused on providing a wonderful experience and he succeeded! We could not have been happier with the food choices and preparation. Every meal from beginning to end was delicious. I am very much looking forward to working with him again upon my return to the Virgin Islands. Thank you Alister!

Chef Alister was AMAZING! So friendly and accommodating. He’s is a true talent. He made my friends 40th birthday celebration one for the books. Best meal we all have had in a very long time. Can’t wait to come back to the island and see him again. Thanks Chef!

Chef Alister was AMAZING and the food was even better! I would chose him again and again for all of my chef needs!

Alister was amazing. This was our first experience with a person chef but he made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. Plus the most important part - the food was delicious. Every course was better than the last. We had the Mediterranean option and couldn't have been more pleased. He knows his stuff! I would definitely recommend him and our only regret was that we didn't get to have him back on multiple nights to try his other dishes.

We truly loved our experience! Chef Mc was extremely polite and understanding. We would highly recommend and do it again!

Alister, who goes by "Mac," was an amazing chef! We thoroughly enjoyed his meals and his presence in our rental villa. While all of the meals were delicious a few stand out as extraordinary; the rack of lamb, the jerk chicken, the seared ahi tuna, and the veggie lasagne! Mac, his sous chef, Dariell, and his serving assistant, Leslie, were lovely gentlemen. We had a great time getting to know them and no request we made was denied! They always had wonderful smiles on their faces and were very sweet with the kids who also loved their meals, even the kiddo with the picky palate! Mac even taught one of the children his famous recipe for cheesecake! If you're in need of a vacation chef or an event caterer I highly recommend Mac & his team!
