Jacob and his partner made celebrating my wifes birthday truly special. They helped customize the menu to our asks and even made specific dishes for our picky kids. The multi-course menu was presented beautifully, delicious, and filling. It felt like we were in a fine dining restaurant and would be happy to have a meal prepared by them again.

I hired Chef Melissa for a private dinner during a friend’s bachelorette trip and could not have had a better experience. Upon booking, she was in close communication to coordinate logistics and menu selection, taking into account our desired theme and dietary restrictions. She came up with the perfect menu for our luau night that was both innovative and delicious. From the presentation to the taste, everyone was completely blown away. Cherry on top was her and her team doing a full clean up afterwards, we truly didn’t have to lift a finger. I couldn’t recommend Chef Melissa enough and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Chef Tye gave us one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. From start to finish, everything was beautifully prepared, incredibly flavorful, and presented like something you'd expect at a high-end restaurant. Every course was a standout—the fried polenta and grilled vegetable bruschetta were the perfect start, the citrus avocado salad was fresh and bright, and the beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly and paired beautifully with the garlic roasted potatoes, asparagus, and rosemary red wine reduction. The chocolate mousse trifle was the perfect ending. Beyond the amazing food, Chef Tye was professional, personable, and made the entire evening feel effortless. Being able to enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of our vacation home made the night even more special. We would absolutely book Chef Tye again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable private dining experience.

We had a really amazing experience with Chef Eric. He made my husband's birthday dinner very special for us. I appreciate how he gave us multiple menu options before we booked him. Our favorite of the four courses was the main entree which was grilled swordfish, saffron orzo pilaf and lemon gremolata. It was nice to have such an incredible meal without having to leave the house and he left the kitchen spotless. We even had leftovers which was a nice bonus. Highly recommend. Wish I could post some of the pictures to show how beautiful the food was.
