The service and food were incredible. Jose is a true professional, he blended into our kitchen and the environment perfectly. We all appreciated everything he did. His service was exceptional, the food amazing and his passion, energy and enthusiasm just right for my 70th birthday. There were fourteen of us, the food was generous, tasty, and just as described except better. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect lunch. It was such a pleasure to sit back and enjoy such a wonderfully delicious experience. My family all loved the food and service, we will be certainly recommending the experience to our friends for their celebrations. Huge thanks to Jose and his excellent manners and culinarily skills, I had such a wonderful birthday party with my family, it was just perfect.

I recently hired Chef Sara to prepare a surprise gourmet Gluten Free dinner to enjoy with my family for my husband’s special birthday. From my very first exchange with her I was impressed. Sara listened to my needs and worked together with me to build a creative, healthy menu that suited all our specific dietary needs. During a final review of the menu, she reached out to verify when she noticed an ingredient in some dishes that I advised should be omitted, which I had completely missed. She is extremely talented, thoughtful, creative, experienced and positive; there was not one request to which I received a negative response. It seems there’s nothing for which she does not have a solution. Sara and her team were extremely professional, accommodating and a pleasure to work with. She even followed up promptly after the event to solicit honest feedback. I highly recommend Chef Sara for anyone who is interested in working with a pleasant, professional chef who will make sure to take care of every detail.

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!

We had such an incredible experience with Chef Aarick! He came to our rental and truly made our Italian dinner such a special experience. From the very beginning, he was so kind, friendly, professional, and attentive. He sent us menu options ahead of time, making the entire process so easy and enjoyable. The food was absolutely incredible! Everything was delicious, beautifully prepared, and exceeded our expectations. Beyond the amazing food, Chef Aarick was genuinely such a pleasure to have around. He was respectful, personable, and made everyone feel comfortable. He even cleaned up everything afterward, which we were not expecting at all! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chef Aarick truly went above and beyond, and we would absolutely book him again. Highly, highly recommend!

Sam was brilliant throughout the whole experience, from the initial enquiry and menu design, where he was happy to adapt the menu to our personal preference and younger eaters; through to preparation and cooking of the meal, and then leaving the kitchen spotless. His food was phenomenal and so well presented. The flavour combinations were exceptional, it truly was an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Sam for anyone looking for a chef as part of a private dining experience.

Highly recommend- he was very professional, and the food was absolutely amazing. He was very accommodating of allergies and preferences. He uses top-notch fresh ingredients and truly brings the food to life. He was also very social and engaging throughout the evening. 10/10 service.

Chef William and his team were incredible. We had a 40th birthday bash and they provided a great bbq lunch (best ribs ever), a couple of great snacks and drinks in the afternoon, then a fantastic birthday dinner. They tailored the menu for the kids and made a delicious tres leche cake. Highly recommend for your event.

Lionel and his team took our initial idea and elevated it into something truly special, bringing a refined twist to hearty, Southern-inspired comfort food with a Nashville influence. From start to finish, the experience was just as important to them as the food itself. They made us feel involved and engaged throughout the entire process, ensuring that every detail reflected our vision while adding their own creativity and expertise. The result was exceptional food, very good vibes, and an evening to remember.

Nous nous sommes offert la présence du chef Alejandro pour un anniversaire, nous avons tous adoré cette expérience, Alejandro est un chef professionnel, ponctuel, sa présence est agréable, et nous nous sommes tous à l'unanimité régalé avec les plats ! Un grand merci à Alejandro, c'est avec un immense plaisir que vous referons appel à lui ! Très bonne expérience !

Chef Lorenzo was amazing and the food was incredible. The flavors were perfect and the meat was cooked perfect as well. I would definitely work with him again on larger events or another private dinner in the future. He was very considerate of the space and the kitchen was spotless when he left. Thank you!

El chef Luis Carlos y su esposa fueron espectaculares para la celebración del cumpleaños de mi madre, no escatimaron en detalles y la calidad de los ingredientes es espectacular. Los platos y la atención fue de alta calidad, la calidez humana también es algo que resalto de su servicio. Fue una experiencia cercana que cumplió con mis expectativas al ser usuario de este tipo de servicios. Los recomiendo muchísimo para ocasiones especiales son los mejores.

Chef Elliott make our experience really wonderful and very memorable. The food was amazing and Elliott was a real hoot! Highly recommend. From Kim, Fiona, Mandy, Ang and Karen.

Daniel was very accommodating and understanding of allergy requirements in the group. The canapés and dessert in particular were excellent and he left the kitchen incredibly clean.

Chef Anthony Charlton was wonderful, and the food was delicious. We will definitely hire him again should the need arise.

Everything went perfectly. Food was amazing, deep flavors and good menu. This chef knows how to cook!! Very friendly team, I'm happy, that I chose them.

We were very happy with the food, presentation, serving and clean up done by Chef Joseph Henderek. I also appreciate the back and forth on the menu selection and the last minute guest food accommodation that Chef Henderek wonderfully made for us. We had a wonderful evening and our guests were impressed.

I cannot recommend Chef Francesco enough!! His communication was great. He worked hard to accommodate a food allergy and our group rated this the best meal we've had on our trip. I am so glad I found Take a Chef and I am beyond blessed to have picked the right chef.

Coralie est une cheffe d’une immense gentillesse et avec qui il a été très agréable de communiquer pour élaborer ensemble ce menu cadeau pour ma fiancée ! Elle avait de nombreuses idées et a su s’adapter à mes envies. Elle est arrivée à l’heure, accompagnée d’une assistante, et toutes les deux ont été agréables, discrètes mais sympathiques et se sont adaptées à notre rythme (et celui de notre bébé de six mois). Les plats étaient délicieux, très bien présentés, et copieux ! Elles sont parties à 20h30 avec le dessert au frigo ( pour nous laisser finir tranquillement) et la cuisine plus propre que jamais. Je conseille vivement l’expérience, merci beaucoup !

Jamie preparó una cena maravillosa en nuestra casa para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi esposa con amigos. La comida fue excepcional, con una presentación impecable y sabores deliciosos. Fue un verdadero placer contar con Jamie en nuestra casa y logró que la velada fuera muy especial. Lo recomendamos ampliamente y, sin duda, volveríamos a contratar sus servicios.

We had such a wonderful experience with Chef Renee and Chef Austin for our bachelorette party in Asheville! Chef Renee has such a fun, bubbly personality and brought great energy to the evening. The food was absolutely amazing, and both chefs did a fantastic job accommodating our group of 13. They were incredibly friendly, flexible, and easygoing, which made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. It was such a fun addition to our weekend, and we're so glad we chose Chef Renee for our special celebration. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a memorable private chef experience!
