Rob was amazing! Polite and engaging from the start, he made the perfect menu for our date night based on our feedback. He was extremely responsive leading up to the night, and more than delivered in the kitchen! The food was incredibly delicious and interesting, and he moved at our once and made sure to explain everything.
Highly recommend Rob!!

Our Chef, Jason Meyer, was on time and professional. We felt very comfortable with him in our home. All of our dishes were delicious and presented very well. We really enjoyed our evening, since we could not go to a restaurant at this time! Chef Jason made our evening very special! We would do this again!

We had the pleasure of working with Gordon for a special Valentine's Day dinner. From initial proposal through making modifications to the menu for some dietary restrictions and preferences, Gordon was quick to reply and provided great suggestions. The whole process was very simple - agree to menu and time and then sit back and get served an amazing, 5-star meal prepared in your kitchen. Gordon brings everything he needs and was completely self-sufficient in our kitchen. The tomato & avocado bruschetta was so delicious, the bang bang shrimp cooked perfectly, the fresh pesto he prepared was outstanding, our sea bass cooked to perfection and the desserts were to die for. All the food was outstanding with his sauces and seasoning being both unique and special. We recommend Gordon to anyone looking to have an amazing, special and stress-free meal!

Chef Kim provided us (6 people) an experience that will no doubt be unforgettable! He was on time, efficient, and the food was to die for. His presentation was beautiful, and he took extra care for dietary restrictions. We booked an Italian menu, and each course was delectable. We will definitely book him again in the future, and recommend him to all! An exquisite experience - hands down best meal of 2020! Thank you, Chef Kim!

We had a perfect experience with Chef Lonnie for our private dinner for 2 for my fiancé’s birthday. Can’t recommend him enough. Food was amazing, presentation was great, and he was very personable, talking us through the dishes every step of the way and answering all of our many questions about cooking! Plan on rebooking and have since recommended to friends.

Chef Robert cooked for me and my girlfriend on a very special night for us, when I proposed to my fiance, Penny. It was a strange circumstance to put Robert in, but he was the perfect personality to ensure that our evening went flawlessly. I would highly recommend Chef Robert.
Michael Cliffe - Jan 29, 2019
The dinner last night was well beyond expectations. Chef Jason was great. Every course was delicious. The courses were the right size, neither too big nor small, so you were always anticipating the next one. Jason served us at a nice pace.
We loved Chef Jason, not only was he an excellent cook, but he was also a genuinely nice guy. We had good conversation with him all night and we insisted he sit with us for dessert.
It was a great idea and a very memorable night.
Nicole Bello - Aug 27, 2020
We had a fabulous evening with Gordon, who prepared 4 delicious courses for our group. Before the day he was very efficient with his replies, and open to creating a menu that fit our needs perfectly. The day of, he was punctual and talked us through all of the menu, which tasted delicious.
I would highly recommend Gordon to anyone who would like to use his services.
Indy Rees - Feb 24, 2020
Chef Anderson was very polite and extremely professional. The food was very delicious. He even left extra food in containers for us to enjoy after. I would recommend Chef Anderson for his knowledge, experience and awesome culinary skills to everyone. We will definitely have him cook for us for another occasion soon!

Does the Private Chef cook at my house?
A Private Chef always prepares the menu at the client's home, as it is an inherent part of the experience.

Therefore, the freshness of the ingredients is one of the key elements of a Private Chef service.
Are drinks included in a Private Chef service?
Drinks are not included by default. However, you can reach an agreement with the chef in order to add drinks as an "extra" to the menu proposal.
