Chef Benjamin was amazing, he was very easy to communicate with and personalized the menu to our requests. The dishes where amazing with great taste and presentation, and he even go the extra mile with the decoration of the dining area. I would totally recommend him.

Our experience with Chef Benjamin was stellar and an absolute delight. He customized our menu to exactly what we were hoping for. He was very communicative and easy to work with, and very personable when he was cooking for us in our rental property. Each dish was delicious and composed with incredible attention to detail — truly a 5-star experience. He is very connected to the culinary community in San Jose del Cabo and had great recommendations for the rest of our trip. His assistant created excellent cocktails for our group and at the end of the evening they cleaned every dish and left our place spotless. You couldn't ask for a better personal chef experience!

Having a chef prepare an excellent meal for my friends and I was a bucket list item for me. Chef Benjamin far exceeded our expectations. The presentation of each dish was beautiful and the flavor was a treat for the tastebuds. The wine pairings were perfect. We had a guest that didn’t drink alcohol and he made her a yummy mock tail. Don’t miss this amazing experience.

We had a great experience with Benjamin! His food was excellent. Terrific presentation. We all enjoyed it!

Chef Luis was on time, well prepared and got right down to business. He was booked as a birthday surprise and he did his part to make her feel special. I will say that we were kinda quiet and talking amongst ourselves so we didn’t quite do the interactive thing and help.. but we definitely watched and he was amazing. Every dish was beautiful and delicious. My favorite was the Tuna Tartare. So many flavors that blended together very well. He even ended the night by bringing out a cake that was lit up with a sparkler!! He cleaned the kitchen and grill areas spotless and left very quietly. My only gripe (and this is more with myself) is that we should have booked for 3 people instead of 3 so we would have had some wonderful leftovers to wake up to.. Next time we will.. I give his service and the overall experience from booking to communication to the actual event a 10/10!!! Would definitely recommend and will book again.

Amazing experience! Everything was top tier! So glad I went with my first mind and booked this! Thank you!
