Very pleasant experience. Chef Alejandro was very polite, professional & prepared a delicious meal. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We loved having Chef Alex here to help us celebrate my husbands birthday! He was wonderful with the children and my newborn and embraced the chaos of our group with ease. He made excellent food and gave us an excellent experience we could really relax and enjoy. We will absolutely request his services again!

Greatest experience we’ve had! Chef Alejandro was amazing humble man and worked with us on the menu and time. We just had a newborn and it was our anniversary he made it so special. I would definitely recommend him! Will definitely book in the future with him again, and hope to try his French onion soup!

Chef Alex not only made a delicious and beautiful meal for my clients, he was very accommodating, responsive and professional. I would definitely hire him again!

10/10 Absolutely Amazing! We hired Chef Alex for my wife’s birthday dinner, and he made the entire evening incredibly special. From the beginning, he was professional, punctual, and extremely personable. He was literally at our door the exact second he said he would be, which immediately set the tone for the evening. The food was outstanding from start to finish. Everything on the menu was delicious and beautifully prepared from the Acapulco Shrimp Cocktail and Oysters Rockefeller to the Scallops & Shrimp Scampi, Blackened Red Snapper, and Ribeye. And the Frozen Key Lime Pie was the perfect ending to an incredible birthday dinner. What really stood out, though, was the overall experience. Chef Alex was fantastic to talk with, made us feel completely comfortable, and brought a really enjoyable energy to the evening. He was also extremely respectful of our home, cleaned everything up afterward, and left the kitchen spotless. My wife had an amazing birthday, and having Chef Alex there made the night feel truly special without us having to leave the house. Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing experience. 10/10 without hesitation. We will absolutely have Chef Alex back again!

Chef Alex was great! Went above and beyond and made our day feel like an all-inclusive resort. Very personable, adaptive, great with kids, and the food and drinks were exactly what we wanted. I recommend and will use again in the future.
