This is an amazing experience. The chefs are excellent at creating a menu that both highlights the local ingredients and elevating the dining experience into something magical. They incorporated our family into the cooking process while also allowing us space to enjoy a truly private and amazing dining experience. This was our Thanksgiving dinner and it was the best meal we had as a family in Costa Rica and we would absolutely do it again. Worth every colone or dollar and honestly they should charge more!

David and Ricardo were excellent, 5 courses with 2 deserts including a beautiful gluten free chocolate cake made my 40th birthday special.

It felt like eating in a Michelin star restarts guys were so good! Excellence service and even better food! Just amazing!

Amazing food, great people!

Wonderful experience , the presentation of each dish is an artwork, the flavor of each dish is great and unique.

Every plate was delicious, well-thought and executed! I loved how you took Costa Rican traditional dishes and elevated each one to a whole new level. Highly recommended, specially to people from other countries.

El servicio recibido por el Chef David y Charlene fue mucho más de lo esperado. La experiencia gastronómica, la fusión de sabores y el servicio personalizado es excelente. Todos los platillos preparados estuvieron riquísimos. Definitivamente contrataría sus servicios de tener la oportunidad nuevamente. Para completar, se tomaron el tiempo para obsequiar un detalle a mi esposa quien cumplía años. Nosotros disfrutamos el servicio como pareja, la experiencia de seguro seria igual de única con un familión o grupo de amistades. Gracias.

Great service, great food. Made it to our mountainside rental, even in a torrential rainstorm!

Tuvimos la mejor experiencia gastronómica con el Chef David y la Chef Charlene, hizo de nuestra velada una noche inolvidable llena de sabor, texturas, color, aroma, calidad, variedad, cada plato en nuestra mesa era toda una experiencia. Sin duda deben de contratar este servicio. Realmente vale la pena en todos sus sentidos.

Surprised my mom for her birthday with a personal chef breakfast, and it was her favorite part of the trip. Food was delicious, communication was easy, and we didn’t have to do anything besides provide a kitchen. Highly recommend for a unique experience

If you have the chance, book Chef Victoria for your vacation. We loved her breakfast and dinner and she was very accommodating. We wished we would’ve booked her for more days! It was beyond.

Would book again in a heart beat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our private experience with Chef Victoria. Would definitely do it again! Flavors and presentation were on point!

Charlene was very accommodating & flexible to my needs. She was very responsive to my messages and menu changes. The dishes prepped were visually appealing and delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Chef Charlene and Chef David were amazing ! I was visiting Costa Rica during a birthday/girls trip! My friend booked them and they exceeded our expectations! Everything was great !!

Los chefs fueron super atentos y muy serviciales. Llegaron puntual a la casa y ordenaron la comida de forma rápida y muy bien presentada. Recomiendo sus servicios

Charlene and David gave us a wonderful evening. First, in advance of the meal, they were very receptive to our requests. They planned an entire gluten-free menu for us on behalf of one of the diners, and also adapted a course for a diner who doesn't eat red meat. We asked for Costa Rican flavors, and the courses were all twists on traditional CR food. The dishes were beautifully presented. It is hard to choose favorites, but we loved the seafood ceviche flavored with mango; the yucca croquette; and the delicious dessert of chocolate cake and chocolate mousse. They were friendly and warm and took the time to answer all our questions. They left the kitchen spotless. It was an amazing meal. Book their services--you will love it!

We recently had the pleasure of savoring a delightful vegetarian dinner crafted by Chef Charlene. From the vibrant appetizers to the satisfying main course and indulgent dessert, every dish was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to healthy eating. The flavors were fresh and vibrant, showcasing the best of seasonal produce. It was evident that each dish was thoughtfully prepared to provide both nourishment and enjoyment. Dining with Chef Charlene was a true culinary delight, and we highly recommend their expertise to anyone seeking a wholesome vegetarian dining experience.
