Alyssa was amazing!

We had a wonderful experience with Chef Alyssa and Take a Chef. The meal was wonderful and Alyssa was very professional. I would recommend them.

Chef Alyyssa was amazing to work with- I appreciate her flexibility and communication! My group was very impressed.

Service incroyable, nourriture délicieuse, nous sommes très satisfaits. Merci encore Alyssa.

Chef allysa was very quick to answer questions and make minor adjustments to our menu. The food was prepared perfectly and garnished so lovely. Our family was able to focus on our evening and celebration. It was great - worth the money!

Allyssa, from start to finish, was a pleasure to work with. Her menu proposals were all divine, but we chose her Steakhouse option. She was incredibly accommodating to one of our party’s gluten allergy and made sure all menu items were gluten free. Despite this “allergy obstacle”, every single thing presented to us was absolutely delicious, locally sourced, visually stunning and left us all full and more than satisfied. I will absolutely be hiring Chef Allyssa again in the future and encourage any and all who are considering a private chef to do so as well. Thank you Chef Allyssa!

The food was INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful experience with our chef, Allyssa! From start to finish, everything was seamless and enjoyable. Allyssa was incredibly kind, professional, prepared, and accommodating. This was our first time doing something like this and we feared it may feel obtrusive and awkward, but Allyssa made us feel at ease from the first moment making the entire evening feel relaxed and effortless. The food was absolutely delicious. The starter salad and crostinis were fresh, flavorful, and simply prepared, letting the ingredients shine. The steak was the real standout. It was so tender it cut like butter and cooked to absolute perfection. We finished the meal with a rich, creamy cheesecake that was just the right amount of sweet and the perfect way to end the evening. We truly appreciated the intimate, pressure-free atmosphere she created. It felt like a special night without any of the stress. Highly recommend!
