He was constantly communicating with us even before arriving. We were on the same page the whole time which I appreciated since this was our first time getting a private chef. He asked us if he could show up earlier to start prepping which was great for us and the whole night was amazing. We got to watch him work in the kitchen while chatting and he was great company while he was working. The food was incredible and for our first time this was such an amazing experience and evening. We definitely plan on doing it again.

There's not enough words for me to explain how great Yasi was. She truly made my anniversary a night to remember.

Chef Will was fantastic! The food he prepared was incredible. Highly recommend!
