Paola and her team were fantastic. We threw some curveballs at them last minute and she didn’t blink an eye. She was overly accommodating and her whole staff was friendly, professional and an all around delight. This was my first time using a private chef on vacation and after this experience I will try to do it for every trip. The scallop dish? Phenomenal. Flavors were layered and balanced. I also loved her short ribs and plaintain side dish (I usually think mashed plantains are too sweet but she made them savory and delicious!). I’m also still thinking about that tres leches cake… I wish I could’ve brought it home with me! 10/10 recommend Chef Paola and her team, it was an amazing meal and incredible experience!

Katie was thorough, punctual, fun, and helped to create a wonderful night for 8 of us at my sister's bachelorette weekend. She food was truly amazing and the portions were larger than we expected. She was right on schedule the whole night and left the kitchen absolutely spotless after. She was a great choice for an at home chef!

10 out of 10 would recommend Chef Carlos Scipio again!

Chef Miguel was amazing!! My entire group was very impressed and they loved the dinner. Chef was very responsive and timely. We loved the presentation and flavor was delicious!! Would highly recommend!

Marion was friendly, efficient, and so capable! She prepared amazing and beautiful dishes, delicious as well as healthy. We highly recommend her!!

Chef Max was fantastic and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to coordinate with leading up to our event. We had a few limitations with the kitchen setup, but he was extremely flexible and adapted without any issues, making the entire experience feel seamless. Most importantly, the food was excellent. Everything was delicious, well prepared, and our entire group really enjoyed the meal. Chef Max helped make the evening memorable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a chef for their next event.

Chef Savin Laborde prepared a wonderful and delicious French bistro (market cuisine) dinner for our party of six, celebrating my birthday. Savin was always professional and respectful of our kitchen, our home, and our guests. We were in constant communication on the Take a Chef platform or on WhatsApp, where he was always available and open to any tweaking of his proposed menus, and of course ready to accommodate all of our food allergies and dietary restrictions. Online and especially in person, Savin was very easy and enjoyable to interact with. I would definitely recommend Chef Savin to be your private chef! Merci infiniment, Savin :)

Chef Jennie was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and responsive. We had to change our protein last minute and she was very accommodating! She was punctual and answered all of our questions while cooking.

Una gran experiencia , parece que estés en un restaurante en tu casa. La comida muy buena . Para repetir y recomendar

Nancy arrived on time and started preparing the food as expected. Even thought the kitchen (on the AirBnB) had limited tools, she managed to deliver as expected. The food was great, the explanation was great and even the small chit-chat between us was great. I'd hire her for future experiences.

Marius made the whole experience from start to finish fantastic. From his menu, communication, flexibility, punctuality, friendliness and culinary expertise. Thank you for making my birthday celebration special. It was five star.

We had the pleasure of having Chef Marco prepare dinner for my husband’s 40th birthday, and it was truly a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and every detail was taken care of with such care and professionalism. Marco made the evening feel really special and memorable, allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration with our guests. His passion for cooking and attention to detail really shone through in every dish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Chef Marco to anyone looking for an exceptional private dining experience. Thank you, Marco, for making such an important occasion so special! ????

Chef Juan and his team were amazing. They were able to blend the informality of a small gathering with the formality and class of a high end event. Food was across the board great, and as a tip….save room for desserts! The menu was specifically curated to reflect the local cuisine of the Shenandoah mountain area where we had our house, so Chef was very accommodating and creative. Couldn’t recommend more Chef Juan and the team.

Nous avons passé une très belle soirée grâce à la prestation du chef Damien ! Les plats étaient délicieux, tout comme les gâteaux d’anniversaire qui ont fait l’unanimité. Les compositions de fleurs fraîches sur la table étaient très belles. Le service était professionnel et soigné, ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de ce moment en famille. Pour rendre l’expérience encore plus conviviale, nous aurions simplement aimé que le chef prenne un petit moment en début de soirée pour se présenter aux invités et nous dire quelques mots sur lui et le menu. Cela aurait été une jolie façon d’ajouter une touche personnelle à ce moment. Un grand merci à Damien pour sa contribution à la réussite de cette soirée mémorable !

Chef Toco cooked us a wonderful meal for a birthday celebration. The appetizers, entree, and sides were all delicious, and served to us with an explanation of the ingredients. He was friendly, and responded promptly to any questions regarding the menu. I definitely would recommend Chef Toco.

Excellent experience

We booked Chef Saro to cook a special dinner for a family birthday at an AirBnB we'd rented. Communication in advance was easy. He gave us lots of options for our menu, and was happy to alter anything to our preferences. He sent a timeline in advance of the event, so we knew exactly what would happen and when. On the day, Saro and his wife came early afternoon to prepare for the evening meal. We could see the quality and quantity of ingredients, and the attention to detail. They got to work immediately and soon there was a pleasant aroma coming from the kitchen. And there was no trouble for us using the kitchen at the same time (even to get our chicken nuggets cooked for the young kids). The table was set for us, and we all sat down for the main event. There were lots of little flourishes that went beyond the main menu; flowers, breads, herbs, sides, special extra cake. The food was incredible throughout. We were immediately blown away by the first course, the bree tempora. It was devine, and everyone had the same reaction. Next up were the steaks which were cooked exactly to our individual liking. It was empty plates and full tummies all around. The dessert course was a selection on every plate, which worked very well. It was clear that Saro was a dessert expert. Overall, Chef Saro and his wife were extremely pleasant. They came out at every course and explained the dish, and were never phased at any request we had (such as delaying one main, as he put a kid to bed). Everyone felt they had an exceptional experience, and it was a night to remember. We would recommend Takeachef and Saro in particular.

Our chef was polite, discreet and gave a lot of thought to presentation. Overall, an enjoyable menu.

Un superbe moment dont on se souviendra longtemps. Les goûts étaient excellent, la présentation magnifique et le chef a été d'un professionnalisme hors pair Bravo !

Chef William was amazing. Food was perfect. Family has a great time. Totally would recommend him.
