Yumi is a masterful chef who also has a real understanding of Kaua’i and its history and culture. The meal she prepared was sourced locally and some of it she gathered herself. She brings everything needed for the meal (just need pans, cutting board and mixing bowls). Watching Yumi work is a masterclass in efficiency and precision. There are many delightful touches from her homemade lilikoi syrup to the roasted seeds she prepares for the salad and so on.,

Mario and William were wonderful. The food was delicious and the company was great to have as we relaxed after a busy day of sightseeing. They were patient while we put our daughter to bed. After, we were greeted with course after course of delicious Mexican food made with the finest Mediterranean ingredients.

Chef Cam was great! He was timely, informative, clean, and the setup was so smooth. We will definitely Book again!

We hired Daniel's team to come to our place on Thanksgiving and provide a fusion meal for our family. What a great way to land. It was wonderful to not have to cook and have a delicious meal for a special occasion. They even accommodated some dietary request. Two thumbs up! Private Feedback: Thank you

Giorgio and his team prepared a wonderful birthday for our group of 12. They took care of everything and the meal was delicious!

This is a 10/10 experience. Chef Roy is a true professional. He helped us celebrate a birthday and made sure to make it special. Don't miss out on this experience!!

Chef Roy was amazing. Food was delicious and cooking with him was fun! 1000% would recommend this!!

That was beautiful trip, thank you

Chef Andres made and served a delicious traditional Thanksgiving dinner for many family membrs and friends. We were very please with quality of food, preparation and presentation for our guests. A very professional and friendly chef that we will use again!

Chef John was great, what a treat. The service and experience is a 10/10. We highly recommend Chef John. We had a great meal, presentation of the dishes was great, and food quality was excellent. Thank you for such a great evening.

Chef Patricia Richer was wonderful! She was very communicative ahead of time and helpful with accommodating a few members of our group with allergies. We were a group of 8 and everyone raved about every course of the meal. Would highly recommend!

Chef Yasuaki provided an incredible menu and service for our holiday part. We were a group of 17, and the meal was just wonderful. He and his team arrived on time, cleaned up everything and everyone in our group was delighted with their meal. I would highly recommend Chef Yasuaki Emily

Kriss was brilliant start to finish, can't rate him highly enough!

Chef Adrienne did a great job coming up with a menu that would work for a family with a variety of food requests and levels of pickiness for some eaters. Any think I asked, she responded with "no problem" or "I can do that". It was really easy working with her, and her food was fantastic. Our whole family really enjoyed the experience and it was a very fun evening. We had an Italian meal with Chef Adrienne bringing her own pizza oven, salad, pasta, appetizers, garlic bread and molten lava cake. Plenty of food, lots of leftovers and a super clean kitchen when she was finished. Would highly recommend.

Chef Robert made an incredible meal! He was very professional, set up was also amazing! Highly recommend.

Kevin is s super chef, the food was excellent!

Chef Inês was fantastic! She created an epic Portuguese feast for us - including individual bento boxes for the littles. She also let our 5 year old help her in the kitchen - a true delight. Would highly recommend!

Zhara was amazing from the get go. She listened and curated a wonderful menu for the day. My husband and all our guests were absolutely delighted with the food and presentation. Overall it was an incredible evening.

I was running out of time to find a hotpot chef for my boss's birthday glad Chef Giordan sent a proposal. We had several requests for the service and Chef Giordan agreed to them all and made sure that he provided the best ingredients. My boss had a good time and the food was delicious. I would recommend Chef Giordan!

I recently hired Chef Thomas Gelso to cook for my 30th birthday celebration in Stowe, Vermont, and it was hands down one of the best decisions I made for the weekend. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, memorable, and absolutely delicious. Leading up to the event, I worked closely with the chef to finalize the menu. He was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, offering helpful suggestions while being flexible with my requests. It was clear that he cared about making the menu perfect for my celebration. I loved how he collaborated with me and tailored the dishes to suit our group’s tastes. On the day of the event, we had a tour planned, and as a result, we were running a little late to the Airbnb. The chef was completely accommodating, not stressing over the timing and allowing us to settle in without a hitch. Once we were ready, he took control of the kitchen and went right to work, while the eight of us sat back, relaxed, and enjoyed our wine. The appetizers were served buffet/family style, which was such a nice touch. The chef gave us the freedom to enjoy the food at our own pace, letting us linger and savor each bite. When we were ready, he seamlessly moved on to the second course. The pacing between courses was perfect—plenty of time to digest, chat, and enjoy the evening before diving into the next delicious dish. The food itself was exceptional. We could tell everything was made with care and high-quality ingredients, from the fresh pasta to the perfectly executed main courses. Each dish was bursting with flavor, and the whole experience felt like a gourmet restaurant in the comfort of our own home. The chef’s attention to detail really shone through in both the presentation and the taste of every plate. What stood out the most, aside from the amazing food, was the chef’s professionalism and warmth. He was approachable, easy to chat with, and genuinely made us feel like we were being treated to something special. At the end of the night, we even invited him to stay for cake—he was just that great to have around! If you’re looking for a private chef experience that combines incredible food with a warm, professional, and accommodating chef, I cannot recommend Chef Thomas Gelso enough. He truly helped make my 30th birthday celebration unforgettable. 10/10 experience!
