Presentation of the dishes: 5 Explanation of the dishes:2 Gastronomic quality:5 Cleanliness: 5 Overall service score: 5 we wanted to celebrate my son's graduation. I discussed special food likings and needs with Israel, he was quick and helpful to suggest options and solutions, wine, dessert, and more. He even took care of cutlery and other needs as we were in a rented house that did not have all he wanted for us to relax and just enjoy. The event was great. Special cheers to the crab cake and the cheesecake, best of the best!

Chef Isreal was amazing. Everything was perfect for our special birthday celebration meal- I wouldn’t change anything!

Chef Israel delivered an amazing meal and a great experience! He took care of everything - prep, cooking, cleaning, and the food was cooked to perfection! We also picked up a few cooking techniques along the way. Highly recommended - worth every penny!

Chef Israel was great. We surprised him with a vegetarian diner and he put up equally amazing dishes for that person on the fly. Highly recommended!

OMG!!!! Chef Israel was a great cook. Everything was season so well and the food was delicious! I could not be more happy with the dinner. I definitely recommend him to everyone. Please try this experience!

Great experience. The food was incredible and the attention to detail is top notch. It was a joy to watch chef Israel cook and explain the ingredients and his process.

Chef Israel exceeded our expectations. We had a very exquisite 4 course meal prepared for us in a private setting and I must say that we were blown away at the amount of food we ended up with. Chef Israel added his special personal touches to each dish that he prepared as well as explaining what each dish entailed. We really enjoyed our dinner and time with him on our last night of our trip. If you get a chance to book him please book him. You will not regret it.

absolutely amazing!

Our dinner with Chef Israel was incredible. He arrived on time and with everything he needed. The dinner (we chose the Dali on My Mind menu) was one of the best we've ever eaten, and Israel was friendly and personable, explaining what he was doing with every step and how he got all the flavor into the dishes as he went. So glad we decided to book him, and we would definitely book him if we're in the Tampa Bay area again.

Incredible dinner by a very talented and unique chef. Looking forward to our next dinner with him!

This was my first experience with a private chef. We rented an Airbnb and Chef Israel came to cook for my wife and I. I had high expectations however, Chef Israel exceeded those as he was friendly, easy going, informative, and genuinely easy to talk to. His food that he created was artistic visually and the taste and quality was extraordinary. We were able to have a high end five star meal without sitting at a stuffy restaurant with a bunch of people. If you’ve never had a private chef, this is the way to go and Chef Israel is the one to get. He made the entire night phenomenal and I will jump at the opportunity to do this again. I highly recommend… HIGHLY. 10 out of 5 stars for this one.

The meals were absolutely amazing and all in the comfort of your own home. What a deal!!!

Chef Isreal was on time, everything was so delicious. He was very polite & I will most definitely book with Chef Isreal the next time Im in Tampa the food he cooked was worth every penny.

Chef Isreal was wonderful! He provided us with one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Everything was taken care of and we were quite spoiled. This experience is highly recommended!

My chef was awesome, the was spectacular & delicious. The chef( Israel) was very professional & explained all about the dishes as he prepared them. The great presentation & taste was outstanding, I would recommend him to everyone.

Israel and Ana were great. We loved the food. They were warm and made us comfortable.

Literally the best experience ever. I would HIGHLY recommend Chef Israel and his wife to anybody. The prices are cheaper than what you would pay for a night out, yet it’s 100x better. Definitely will be using this service over and over again

The experience with Chef Israel was magnificent. We thought the food was going to be great but everything exceeded our expectations by a million. Chef Israel definitely loves what he does and it shows in the food’s flavor and presentation. Every single bite of every single dish was delicious. It was very impressive. We really enjoyed talking to him, he’s an incredible human being with a great personality and we were very lucky to have been able to have him in our home and we can’t wait to have him over again. 5 stars isn’t enough! Thank you Chef!

I would HIGHLY recommend this experience to anyone in a heartbeat, especially for a special occasion. Great value, great service, and great food by great people.
