Food was amazing & chef was extremely nice!

Chef Natasha was outstanding. She was incredibly proactive in her communication leading up to the event we hosted. We had four people, and there was so much food! The dishes were hearty and delicious. I come from an Italian family whose mother lived in Italy, so the Italian menu had high expectations, and they were met! Can't recommend her anymore!
