We had the incredible pleasure of having Chef Igor cook a special birthday meal for my husband, and it truly exceeded all expectations. Chef Igor is not only a fantastic chef but also a great educator—he shared valuable insights about each dish and the cooking process, which made the experience even more memorable. What stood out most was the attention to detail and the use of fresh, local ingredients. Every dish had Chef Igor's unique touch, making even a simple Caesar salad taste like something special. But the highlight of the evening was the smoked duck with onion jam—it was by far our favorite dish. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the duck was cooked to absolute perfection. Chef Igor’s professionalism and passion for his craft were evident throughout the entire experience. He created a warm, inviting atmosphere while sharing his knowledge, making the meal not just a dining experience but a celebration of food itself. It was a truly memorable evening, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience.
