We had a truly unforgettable experience! We hired Chef Rogelio Garcia for a 50th birthday party weekend in Calistoga, CA. He prepared four incredible meals for our party of 10. He was very responsive from the moment he responded to our inquiry. He was prompt, positive and professional. His menus were outstanding and he catered to our requests. We had one person who is vegan and that was no problem at all for Rogelio. Cannot say enough about how well he took care of us. His meals were the highlight of our weekend! We would all hire him again for our next event!!

Chef Rogelio prepared for us the most memorable meal. Not only was he pleasant and professional to work with every single dish he prepared for us was impeccably executed. It really was an unforgettable experience and I would absolutely jump at the chance to experience another meal by him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone. The BEST!!
