Chef Mary was incredible. Her presentation, the food her personality was good. I would highly recommend her service.

Mary was prompt and professional. She was very good about adapting the menu to be gluten and dairy free for one of the guests. I appreciated that she wore a mask. All the dishes looked amazing, and she explained what all the components were. And everything was delicious! Perfectly seared scallops, lovely seabass and risotto, and lava cake with raspberry... My friends and I had a great evening.

The chef was superb. She came with the table decoration, she communicated effectively and the food was delicious. I strongly recommend her and I'd be using her again. Thanks Mary for the Valentine Dinner.

Excellent experience would recommend to friends and family.
