We had a delicious meal prepared by Chef Sean for our party of 8. I found out a few days before our event that one person had a shellfish allergy, he was able to to quickly give me some alternative choices. Everything was delicious and presentation was wonderful! The arrival window was 5:15-5:45 and he arrived right within that window, a little earlier may have been better, we ended up eating a little bit later than what we had expected but the meal was definitley worth the wait. The cleanup was incredible the kitchen was left just as neat and tidy as when he arrived. We would highly recommend Chef Sean and hope to use him again in the future!

Chef Sean went above and beyond for us! I had a lot of specific requests like, halal meat only and no alcohol in the ingredients. We also found out at our dinner that one of the girls was pregnant, and he adjusted the menu for her! Also, he was very responsive to messages.

Chef Sean was absolutely outstanding. Prior to the event we corresponded on this app, he was very responsive and answered all of my questions. On the day of the event he showed up exactly when he noted, got right to work, and prepared an incredible meal for this 10 person event. Everyone was thrilled and very impressed by his culinary skills, his professionalism, and his work. The food was delicious! I would absolutely recommend Chef Sean. 10/10!

Chef Sean Morrell prepared a beautiful and delicious meal for my family celebrating my mother’s birthday. He worked with me in advance to design the exact menu we wanted, then worked around our schedule for when we wanted each course served. It was the best meal we had in a long time! Thank you Chef Sean!

We recently hired Chef Sean for a 12-person dinner party, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. He prepared a spectacular 4-course meal where every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food! If you're looking for a professional, talented chef to elevate your next event, I can't recommend him highly enough.

Chef Sean and his sous chef were great from start to finish. He came prepared with everything he needed and asked nothing of myself our our guests. He left things cleaner than he found them. We most enjoyed hearing the description of our dishes upon presentation. Everything was fresh and tasty with super great quality ingredients. He even accommodated a vegetarian dish with a meat substitute. 10/10, would do again!

Chef Sean did an incredible job in putting together a holiday dinner for us. He was also great with communication beforehand and with accommodating a dietary restriction. Would definitely hire him again!

I’ve used TakeaChef service a number of times, have always been happy but this experience was by far our most favorite. The food was exceptional and the experience was even better. Completely stress free! Chef brought everything he needed. Was incredibly professional and punctual. Everything was beautifully plated and described. My kitchen was left spotless. 10/10 recommend!!!

Sean was great! He provided his own equipment and supplies, and was very efficient. He prepared and plated each course, from appetizers to dessert, explaining each one thoroughly as he served it. He accommodated a custom dessert choice outside of his typical menu … and it was excellent. The meal was expertly prepared and delicious. Having a private chef allowed us, the host and hostess, to truly enjoy our own party. We highly recommend Sean.

Sean is an excellent chef. He was calm, confident and creative in meeting the unforeseen last minute changes that needed to be made. We would recommend him without any hesitation and would ask him to come the next time we host a large celebration.

Chef Sean was awesome. He created a menu and meal fit for our celebratory dinner. Sean was professional and courteous. Our guests loved having Sean with us. The meal was delicious!

Sean was a fantastic addition to our family vacation! Sean was very responsive, charismatic and efficient. He's a professional who clearly knows and loves what he does for a living. He was on time, the food was incredible, and his service was perfect. He was flexible with my family as we have a baby included among us, adjusting timing to best suit the group. In addition to every dish being a smash hit, his plating was gorgeous and he got the course timing just right, every single time. The kitchen was spotless each night as well, which is a huge plus for a family vacation. I highly highly recommend Sean!

Chef Sean promised a wonderful South American-themed Mother's Day lunch, and he delivered. He was timely, brought all his own ingredients and utensils, did not rush us during the meal, and explained every single dish we had! It was a great first time experience for my family and I. And hopefully, with Take a Chef, we will be able to explore even more cuisines from around the world, from the comfort of our own dining table!

Chef Sean did an amazing job. We loved every course and would definitely hire him again. Our group was raving about the experience all evening. When he left it was like he was never even there, he cleaned up so well.

Sean Morell was on time to our Air B&B to celebrate our son's graduate degree from Georgetown University. Each of the dishes were fantastic in both presentation and taste. Portions were perfect and the timing for each course was done very well. Sean interacted with us while staying focused on his tasks. He brought all of the food, ingredients, condiments and kitchenware needed to prepare every dish. The plating was beautiful and best of all, he cleaned up everything, including loading the dishwasher and removing all trash and recycling. My wife, family and I (party of 8) were truly satisfied with Sean's performance and highly recommend using him for any upcoming special dining event you may have.

This was our first experience with hiring a private chef, and Sean did not disappoint. Sean was amazing. He kept in constant communication and answered all of my questions. Loved that Sean paid attention to specialty needs, and accommodated all request. Each course was described and absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend Sean. Thanks Sean, you prepared a wonderful meal experience.

Sean was amazing! He did a meal for four of us and everything was great! He was on time and cleaned up everything. Highly recommend!

I hired him for our wedding anniversary. He did a great job—good communication, high-quality ingredients, and the food turned out excellent. I would definitely hire him again!

We loved Chef Sean! He cooked delicious food and was so awesome. On top of everything he was so genuine with his interactions on top of his description of his dishes.
