Sean was great. We worked with him on a menu then he added his own twist which created an amazing meal. Four dishes plus a surprise…all delicious, prompt, presentation was a feast for the eyes. Sean was nice, professional and rightfully proud of his special skills. Highly recommend.

Chef Switi was amazing!!! Her food was absolutely amazing and she was so engaging. What an absolute delight it was having her as part of our bali trip this time. I highly recommend her!!!!!

Thank you for the two amazing dinners you prepared for us. You totally exceeded our expectations and made our special occasion extra special. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to others!

Michelle was fantastic! When we discovered our cabin only had a toaster oven and no regular oven, she pivoted seamlessly and made everything work. The Beef Wellington was incredible — you’d never know it was finished in a toaster oven! Michelle was professional and friendly; we never felt awkward having a chef in our space. We booked her to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. She was flexible on our menu, a great communicator, checked in the day before to confirm details, and was punctual on the night of. Highly recommend Michelle for any special occasion!

Vi hade en fantastisk middagsupplevelse! Kommunikationen innan var enkel och maten var fantastisk. Anthony gjorde det där lilla extra som t ex rekommendationer på viner från vingårdar i området som passade till maten, en jättefin dukning och att han var flexibel med tiderna under kvällen. Kan verkligen rekommendera!

Fernando was incredible - food was delicious and with great service. Would highly recommend

We had a really amazing experience with Chef Eric. He made my husband's birthday dinner very special for us. I appreciate how he gave us multiple menu options before we booked him. Our favorite of the four courses was the main entree which was grilled swordfish, saffron orzo pilaf and lemon gremolata. It was nice to have such an incredible meal without having to leave the house and he left the kitchen spotless. We even had leftovers which was a nice bonus. Highly recommend. Wish I could post some of the pictures to show how beautiful the food was.

Hamlet was amazing from start to finish. His meals were incredible, unique, and delicious and he was an absolute joy to work with. His communication was flawless and he worked seamlessly with our stringent requirements. Highly recommended in every way!

Chef Warren and his team were absolutely incredible! They were engaging, and professional. They created a beautiful environment, a beautifully set table, and stunning dishes. We were especially impressed with how they were able to accommodate the dietary restrictions within our group without completely altering a dish, so everyone felt like they had the same elevated experience. We cannot thank Chef Warren enough for helping make our time so incredibly special. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Chef!

Sergi is a great chef and a lovely person. He was very flexible to accomodate last minute changes (like canapes with the champagne, and cheese for desert) and arranged the whole dinner in a very pleasant and enjoyable manner, which was impressive as he had some car trouble on the way in. It was easy to communicate with him beforehand, he was very responsive. The dishes tasted and looked amazing with fresh ingredients and delicate elderflowers etc to garnish them. Immaculate cleaned kitchen afterwards!

Lucas a été parfait. Les plats étaient savoureux et bien imaginés. Rien à redire sur le service. Bravo.

Arturo fue muy amable y flexible con mis peticiones. Su comida muy buena!

Chef Gerson was a great cook and a super fun hang! I would absolutely recommend him if looking for a private chef in the Gunacaste area.

Chef Ru did an amazing job and we had one of our best meals in Cape Town at our villa!

Delicious food, chef was very informative and accommodating!

Chef Xiomara (and her sous chef!) were amazing from the very start. We had lots of choice with our meal options and Chef was always quick to respond and really helpful. Our meal was truly amazing, all of our guests loved each course, and the buffet and cocktails were incredible! (I think a few of our guests have a new favourite cocktail!) The portions and quality were both second to none and we couldn't have asked for a better meal for our Wedding Day. Chef also went above and beyond, providing table decorations, bespoke menus and wedding favours (candied almonds) with our names and wedding date on them. The table looked absolutely fantastic and it was beyond what we'd hoped for. Chef helped make our Wedding Day so special, and it's something we'll never forget. Thank you so much again Xiomara, you were fantastic. We'd reccomend you to anyone looking for a superb meal and experience!

Chef Daniele was fabulous and fostered a truly unforgettable evening for our family. Highly recommend

Chef Alvin and Server Dennis were amazing! Food was incredible, preparation and cleanup were outstanding, and ample food for all tastebuds! Would definitely recommend for future events!

I was celebrating sisterhood and friendship and our chef made the celebation top tier. Our chef Jimyria's proposal checked everyone of the boxes. She was very communicative, arrived promptly on time. Her set up was simply beautiful. She both professional and engaging. Jimyria enhanced our girls night dinner. The food, my God today was hands down some of the best food I've had the pleasure of eating. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire 4 course experience. 10 out of 10 highly recommend.

Great job, very easy to work with. Thanks!
