Chef Carlos was incredible. He was friendly, accommodating and far exceeded my expectations. In addition to providing the menu, Carlos and I spoke.His goal clearly was to make my birthday dinner special and to obtain my feedback on the menu. He was extremely flexible as I requested a date change, a location change and a couple of menu changes. He stepped up without any hesitation and prepared an excellent meal, delivered excellent service and far exceeded my expectations by providing extra dishes, desserts and wine.

Found out about Take a Chef a week before planned event. Received a few menus from various chefs and Christina was very responsive. She showed up on time with some pre-cooked items and finished off in the kitchen. We enjoyed the meal which was Caribbean themed. Only thing I’d say is I didn’t realize it was family style until day of event but wasn’t a problem. Interaction with us was minimal - only as needed to serve food in case you are looking for a different vibe. Overall would recommend.

Nate was amazing! The food was delicious. He served us and cleaned after. All in all, would recommend!

Chef Satish was fantastic to work with. He was communicative when setting up the evening, shared menu ideas ahead of time, took our menu ideas into account, arrived on time, and prepared a beautiful and delicious meal. He brought a support staff, Michael, who was eager to please, polite, and very easy to work with. This was our first private chef experience but not our last. Outstanding.

Nous avons passé un super moment grâce à chef Gwendhal qui nous a régalé avec une cuisine gourmande et généreuse. Il a été à l'écoute de nos besoins et très réactif. Nous recommandons vivement ce chef !

Chef Kara delivered an outstanding experience from beginning to end. Communication was excellent; she was punctual, highly organized, and prepared everything with great attention to detail. The quality of the food was exceptional, and every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. We truly appreciate her professionalism and would gladly work with her again. Highly recommended. _________ Le Chef Kara nous a offert une expérience exceptionnelle du début à la fin. La communication a été excellente, elle a été ponctuelle, très organisée et a préparé chaque détail avec le plus grand soin. La qualité des plats était remarquable, et chaque assiette était magnifiquement présentée et pleine de saveurs. Nous apprécions sincèrement son professionnalisme et n’hésiterions pas à faire de nouveau appel à ses services. Nous la recommandons vivement.

It was a fantastic experience! Every dish was prepared with great care and the food was incredibly delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. You could truly see the chef's expertise and passion in every detail. It was a memorable culinary experience and I highly recommend this private chef to anyone looking for exceptional food and service. We would definietly choose them again!

Chef Colin was fabulous. He was informative regarding the menu. The food was beautifully plated and delicious. We highly recommend.

Chef Reid, did an amazing job. The food taste good. It was fresh and the food was warm. We had good conversations and he did an excellent job cleaning my kitchen. I would do business with him again !

Chef Rafaela Castilho was absolutely fantastic. We engaged her services to celebrate 2 important family birthdays, and we couldn't have been more pleased. The menu she suggested was carefully considered, and she easily accommodated several different dietary requirements and allergies in our group. The food itself was exceptionally tasty and well-presented. I also found Chef Rafaela easy to communicate with, punctual, warm, and professional. She left the kitchen cleaner than she found it. She went well beyond our expectations and made our family celebration frictionless so all that was left for us to do was to enjoy it. I hope we will have another chance to hire Chef Rafaela Castilho!

Chef Rodolfo gave us an incredible dining experience from start to finish. He prepared a perfectly cooked New York strip that was absolutely delicious, while also thoughtfully accommodating a vegetarian in our group with an equally impressive meal. To top it all off, he made fresh churros with ice cream for dessert, which were the perfect ending to the evening. What really made the experience special was Chef Rodolfo himself. He took the time to share stories about his other restaurant and some of the incredible people he's cooked for over the years, including Michelle Obama, Alicia Keys, and professional athletes. His passion for food, hospitality, and creating memorable experiences was evident throughout the entire evening. If you're looking for more than just a great meal, Chef Rodolfo delivers an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely recommend him and would book him again in a heartbeat.

JOE ROHAN WAS VERY GOOD ; HIS PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION WAS EXCELLENT

Our experience with our private chef, Switi was amazing from start to finish! She was very friendly and accommodating. The food she cooked for us was delicious. Highly recommend. It was a great experience whilst being in Bali for the first time.

Christian was friendly, professional and made my parents' anniversary very special. Food was delicious.

Chef Alex, created an incredible meal for our extended family of 25! The food and presentation was fantastic.

Thank you! Brilliant :)

Lerisa was fantastic and she prepared a wonderful meal for us. She was flexible and on time and a great communicator. Would highly recommend her!

We LOVED Switi!! Her meals were well planned and delicious. She was accommodating and flexible and we loved our experience. We loved having our meals presented and explained to us and our kids who can be picky adored the food. Switi is such a lovely person and really made our holiday special. We highly recommend using Switi.

Très ponctuel, il nous a gâté avec des attentions hors du menu. Il a réussi à cuisiner pour 12 dans une cuisine pas du tout adapté.
