Thanks again for a great meal and super fun time!

Excellent meal. Chef allowed some flexibility between chicken and shrimp and even prepared a gluten free option for one guest.

Chef Esh-Marie was simply amazing!! I can’t speak enough on her presentation, professionalism, food quality and taste! She added the perfect touch to our Girls’ Trip! Having leftovers was the added bonus and they were just as delectable the next day! I have already recommended her to friends planning to visit the San Francisco area in the near future. Needless to say, I will be securing her services when I return next year! I highly recommend Chef Esh-Marie!

Chef Esh has worked with us twice now and she's been amazing both times. Catered to our allergy/dietary restrictions and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Never had plant based dishes taste as good as dairy before!! Our 1 year old son couldn't stop eating. Chef Esh is the best.

Esh is an amazing chef and we thoroughly enjoyed the food that she cooked for us. She was very considerate in accepting our requests and she even made everything very special for us.

Wonderful menu and food prepared by Chef Esh-Marie. The dishes had great Cajun flavors as well as unique items. The spicy shrimp and grits and Gumbo with crab legs were amazing, and the steak and lobster were full of spice and depth!

Wonderful service through and through. Excellent food, plentiful portions, and kind service from chef.

Chef Esh arrived on time for our dinner. She was very professional and personable. She made special accommodations to the menu due to food allergies and I must say the food was supreme. 5 course meal it was all worth it. I highly recommend her. We felt like royalty!

Enjoyed the evening and the food tasted great!

She created personalized place cards and menus to match the color scheme of my event. Her professionalism coupled with her friendly demeanor made it very easy to communicate with her and work with her. The food looked and tasted delicious. The experience was definitely a 9/10.

Esh Marie was an amazing chef. She was very personable and we had a fantastical conversation experience. Her gumbo was supreme.

Chef Esh-Marie was incredible. The gumbo was super good, as good as it gets if you been to New Orleans. Will definitely book again!!

Chef Esh-Marie was absolutely amazing. She took so much care in crafting a menu to cater to our dietary restrictions and completely changed our perspective on what a dairy free life could be like. I've never had a dairy free meal as great as hers. The perfect end to our Mother's Day celebration.
