Chef Anon and her assistant were wonderful to work with! We would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a special private chef experience!!

Incredible experience!.. Chef Gene did a great job preparing the meals. I will definitely search him out next time I visit!

Chef Toya was great. She was engaging, polite and her food was amazing. We learned some new tricks from her cooking as well. Would highly recommend her!

James was amazing, did a fantastic job, the food was five star !!

Ma femme fut comblée de cette surprise d’anniversaire avec un chef qui nous a partagé sa passion. Une prestation à laquelle nous nous attendions pas à un tel niveau de perfection. Merci à tous les 2 on a passé une soirée exceptionnelle.

Marco was incredible! The food was beautifully presented and prepared, he obviously took a lot of pride in his preparation and where the food was sourced from. It was an extensive menu, and we were very impressed by the entire night. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!

Francesca communicated her plans, needs and questions before and during the meal. She and her team showed up on time, left the kitchen and the dining room very clean and organized, and left us food for the next day. The food she cooked were amazing, so fresh and clean, and the stories accompanying the food added so much more depth and entertainment to the meal. Thank you to Francesca for cooking for my party.

I enlisted the help of Chef Paul to create a meal as a treat for my best friend's bachelorette party dinner in Mallorca. She loves Asian food but, of course, we wanted Spanish flavors as well. Chef delivered on both. Not only did he offer plenty of choice in creating the perfect menu for our group, but everything he made was beyond delicious and impressed our entire party. I couldn't be more pleased -- we had a wonderful time and hope to book him again for future events. :)

Mariana was wonderful! Her food was delicious. My house was spotless when the night ended. Would highly recommend.

Chef Jordan Atwood was absolutely amazing. He prepared one of the best meals we’ve ever had for me and my husband. The presentation of each dish was so beautiful. I don’t think we’ll ever have a meal as delicious as the one he prepared for us! It was a wonderful experience. We highly recommend Jordan!!

Mourad was engaging, friendly, and prepared a fantastic meal for a group of 9. He was a great communicator and was flexible with designing a menu to stay within our budget.

Ryan's created a great stay-at-home date night for my wife and me with his delicious take on surf and turf. He was professional and kind throughout, left the kitchen in great shape, and most importantly he prepared us some fantastic food.

Chef Adolfo was incredible!! He was so communicative, on time and very kind! He was the first chef to respond to our inquiry and we loved his menu!! It was as tasty as it sounded. Book him and you won’t be disappointed! He cooked, served us and cleaned up- we felt like royalty!!

Chef Pierre was a 10/10 experience! His menu was both delicious and very well thought out, and the wine pairings he selected were excellent as well. Also have to give him a huge accolade for his attention to ingredients included in the menu and during preparation. One member of our group has Celiac Disease and he was beyond helpful in keeping them well fed, healthy and not missing out on the incredible meal that he prepared. Cannot thank you enough, Chef Pierre! Would book him a million times over <3

Chef Fabio and his son were incredible. The food was delicious, the chefs were entertaining and they not only made a wonderful impression but left the kitchen spotless when they were done. I would rate them 5 stars ✨️ would definitely recommend them again. Thank you for making my birthday so special.

Chef Wes was killer. Engaging and passionate guy. Highly recommend.

Natalie Tiana Ramos is an AMAZING chef! She truly has an incredible amount of talent, not only in the flavor profile of the food she makes but also in the presentation and timing. We had a large group of 12 people in a very tight space, and she was able to plate the food beautifully and time everything perfectly. All the food came out at just the right temperature and cooked to perfection. Due to the size of our group, she brought a partner, Andres, with her to help her serve each dish and kept the wine she paired with the food full in our glasses. We had a 6-course meal, and every single course was a total hit with the entire group! The three absolute MUST HAVES were the empanadas, the butternut squash ravioli with sage chicken, and the strawberry shortcake. All of my guests are STILL talking about this experience! A true treat!!

Chef Nuno was fantastic and our experience with him was nothing short of extraordinary. The food was delicious and plentiful, and he even accommodated some drinks for us halfway through our experience as well. He was so kind and professional and made our vacation amazing. Highly recommend, thank you Chef!
