Norman Darling - Jun 20 2022
Chef Alvin was absolutely incredible and so accommodating. He served our party of 8 which included a vegetarian and a pregnant guest with such care. He provided many dish options in order to make our celebration extra special. We loved hearing the stories of how the dishes have evolved over the years and his culinary background. As if the delicious food wasn’t good enough, the cleanup and care of our home kitchen was spectacular. I swear he left it cleaner than when he arrived! 10/10 experience
