Do yourself a favor and request Chef Kim! His margaritas are incredibly fresh and the food was excellent. He set the table, provided service, and cleaned the whole kitchen. It made for a very special night. It was all the small things he thought of that made this experience an excellent choice. We wished we had booked him twice instead of going to a restaurant.

Therefore, the freshness of the ingredients is one of the key elements of a Private Chef service.
