Nate was amazing from start to finish. He understood my brief and provided a menu that was exactly what I was looking for. Nate’s food was tasty, well seasoned and the presentation was excellent. He used good quality ingredients and our entire party had leftovers.

Nate was wonderful, he let me know early on he might be a bit late but regardless, the dinner was served on time. The food was very good, and Nate was really great about everything. My only recommendation would be to serve the hot courses hotter. Presentation was excellent, we really enjoyed everything and were so impressed with how Nate left the kitchen, so clean and tidy! It was a fantastic evening! Highly recommend.

Chef Nathaniel was amazing. Communication, food, and clean up were all top notch!

We booked a personal chef for supper to celebrate my mother in laws milestone birthday (for her and 7 others). She hasn’t stopped talking about how amazing it was. She said “the arancini was perfectly done! The roasted tomato soup was thick and creamy and so tasty! The beef Wellington was a beautiful tenderloin in really great light pastry. Everything including the vanilla bean ice cream was home made!” There were zero complaints and everyone couldn’t believe how unbelievable the food was. Will recommend Nathanial. 10/10!

Nathaniel did a great job for our dinner party. The portions were very well sized, great ingredients and incredible flavor in his food, especially the sauces. He handled everything so it was very enjoyable as the host. He was super polite, self sufficient, and a pleasure to have in our home.

Our chef made us feel like we were in a 5 Star resteraunt every meal He joined us for a week and kept us all guessing if his next meal would outdo the last. He was so accomodating and by the end of our time together we had made a new friend. We will be using his services again and would highly recommend him to our associates and friends. The experience was cost effective as well and the food and assortment and preparation was off the charts. Kudos to our Chef Nathanial Davis, we now consider him a friend.

Chef Nathaniel was amazing. We hosted a meal for family visiting out of town which included very young children. Chef was punctual, arriving on time and the meal service began when we agreed upon. Food was delicious with very generous portions. He left our kitchen better than when he arrived. Would definitely recommend

I hired Take a Chef for clients who had recently sold their home with me. They told me that they had a wonderful experience and that the food was amazing!

Nate, was absolutely amazing very polite and great to work with. The presentation of food was fantastic. I would highly recommend using Nate if you have a chance. You will not be disappointed.

Chef Nathaniel was amazing! We hired him 2 days to feed a large crew! The breakfast was amazing Everyone in the house was so impressed! The food was absolutely delicious and Chef was awesome! 10 out of 10 would absolutely book again!

We had an amazing experience with Chef Nathanial! From start to finish, everything was flawless. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Chef Nathanial took the time to explain every course, adding a personal touch that made the meal even more special. On top of that, he handled all the cleanup, leaving our kitchen spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch private dining experience!

Great experience all around!!

Nathaniel took amazing care of us! We got to pick from a huge variety of dishes and he executed each course timely and effectively. They tasted amazing as well!

Nate was great, we had a lovely dinner! The food was excellent and he was very attentive and accommodating.

Great chef with amazing service & fully customized & personalized according to what we needed & went above & beyond to provide exceptions experience.

Chef Nathaniel Davis was great. He arrived prepared and was ready to be flexible for our in-home anniversary dinner experience. The menu choices he offered were primarily why I picked him. Having a menu that essentially allowed a "choose your own adventure" style dinner was perfect because it kept the guessing low but still provided more options than the typical set menu offers I saw. Lastly, because our experience was a dinner for two, he was very accommodating, asking when we would be ready for each next dish which for us with four kids under three in the house at the same time was essential to making the night stress-free. So glad we did this and it may just become our new annual experience!

Nathan was fantastic! He arrived right on time, fully prepared with all the necessary ingredients, pots, and utensils. After we showed him the kitchen, he got straight to work, and the whole house soon smelled incredible. The food was absolutely delicious, and the cleanup was swift and thorough—honestly, he left the kitchen looking better than we ever could have managed.

What a great experience with Nathaniel! We had such a lovely meal and he was so kind and thorough in taking care of us. Highly recommend Nathaniel!

Chef Nathan was great at working together to create the menu that we wanted. He came well-equipped and left the kitchen as though he had never been there. The portions were large and the food was delicious - well worth the value. Thanks, Chef Nathan, for an awesome dinner!

We really enjoyed everything! The food was delicious, and the guests were happy, even though we kept postponing the serving time.
