Thiago was amazing! The food was delicious and he was very personable and engaging. Clearly he is passionate about what he does and that came across in his food. Would absolutely recommend!

We had such a great time with our chef! From start to finish, the experience was amazing. We truly appreciate the time, effort, and incredible communication everything was seamless. I’m so happy we chose him! There were other options, but his warmth and professionalism made the decision easy. What really stood out to me was the thoughtful message he sent during a time when we had a lot of moving pieces in life. It was kind, genuine, and made him feel like more than just a service provider. Highly recommend him—welcoming, talented, and someone you’ll be glad you chose!

Chef Aura was absolutely phenomenal! Every course she prepared was a culinary masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. She truly exceeded all of my expectations. I’m already looking forward to my next trip — we’ll definitely be booking her again without hesitation!

Denis prepared a first class meal and all our guests were delighted. I very good selection of dishes were offered. I will be using Denis' services again.

Rossana was greats we loved every single dish. We will book her again.

Chef Ricardo and his team were outstanding. He listened to our wishes for a private dining experience and delivered more than we could have imagined. Our guests loved the meal (all 20 of them!).

With so many difficulties in the way of being there to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday this option for spoiling my daughter for both her birthday and Valentine’s Day was just perfect. I’m grateful for the special time she and her partner had together. Thank you

Dave was fantastic and went above and beyond in multiple ways. We got so much more than we expected from him! Would book again for sure!

Chef Yana was absolutely incredible. So easy to work with and so professional but fun and engaging. Everything from the communication down to the dishes was seamless! The food was amazing I will be dreaming it about the food.

Chef Guillermo is BEYOND amazing!! He made the best food we could have ever dreamed of - we are still talking about it days after the trip. I can’t believe that not only was the presentation amazing - the flavors of everything was just beyond. A true restaurant experience right in our home! And he was so flexible and accommodating to all of our dietary restrictions. I cannot recommend Chef Gulliermo enough - he made our vacation truly leveled up!!!! Thank you!!!!

We were looking for a fun and personalized way to celebrate our 40th Wedding anniversary with our children and grandchildren. Chef Carlos Chubb understood the assignment and made our day very special. It was wonderful to be able to focus on each other, in our home with a child friendly environment so that everyone could be comfortable. Chef Carlos served us family style with all 12 of us around the table. He explained the dishes, took care of our special needs and cleaned up while the young ones were packed up to go home. It was amazing to wake up the next day with only a clean dishwasher to empty. Thanks to Chef Carlos for amazing meal, from the salad, to the appetizers, main dishes and desert it was all wonderful, paced out well and a compliment to the day. Perfect.

Chef Brian was fantastic. This is the only way to have a dinner party, great day for me and my guests. Great food, fun and clean up.

Vielen Dank für den wundervollen Abend. Melanie ist eine tolle Köchin und hat uns einen wunderschönen Abend beschert. Die Kommunikation mit Melanie lief ohne Probleme. Alles in allem hatten wir einen Abend den wir nicht so schnell vergessen werden.

Brilliant evening! Highly recommend Chef Raul Jarauta. He is very professional, kind and cooks the most delicious food. He is the first person I would have for my event! Thank you.

The chef I picked Chef Graeme was exceptional! He communicated well and help me create a special experience. The food he served was incredible, he and Miles (Batman) were a brilliant and professional team.

From start to finish, Rachael completely surpassed my expectations. The experience began long before the event itself, with Rachael going above and beyond to accommodate all of our dietary preferences and offering thoughtful suggestions, including a phenomenal wine pairing that perfectly complemented the meal. And the food— wow. I can honestly say it was some of the best I’ve ever had. Every dish was a work of art, but the special aubergine dishes that Rachael prepared absolutely stole the show. I’m a huge fan of aubergine, and these were by far the most delicious I’ve ever tasted. Several of our guests said they’d never had a meal that was so exceptional! (to quote one: "I would choose this Korean Cauliflower as my last meal") Not only is Rachael a culinary genius, but she is also incredibly friendly and approachable, striking the perfect balance of warmth and professionalism. She even left the kitchen in a state so pristine, it was as if she had never been there. (I lie, she actually left it cleaner than before!) I am beyond grateful for the experience, which was nothing short of spectacular. I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough and will most definitely be inviting her back for the next family celebration. As for the waiter (who was so much more than just that) I can't sing her praises enough! She went above and beyond, making delicious cocktails, setting the table with style, handling the decorations, and offering to make fresh mint tea and coffee without so much as a request. She was professional, yet a lot of fun, and interacted seamlessly with our guests, elevating the entire experience to a whole new level of elegance and enjoyment. The evening exceeded all of my wildest expectations. If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary experience that will wow your guests and leave you completely stress-free, do yourself a favour and book Rachael and her team. You’ll be blown away! Thank you, Rachael, for making this such an extraordinary occasion!

Chris was absolutely amazing! It was the perfect experience with the most delicious food. The variety and the quality of her dishes were fabulous. She is such a lovely person and we really enjoyed our time with her - she is attentive, with fast communication, flexibility and is very trustworthy. We hope to see her and have more of her dishes again! 10/10 reccommend!!!!!

Everything was excellent. Everyone loved the meal and presentation. Highly recommended.

Kylie was absolutely amazing!! Great communication about the menu and very accommodating to dietary requirements! The food and service was fantastic and I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Fabulous dining experience with Chef Ryan! The food was absolutely delicious, and the cherry on top is that Chef Ryan is so friendly, warm, and welcoming. Our group of 4 enjoyed arancini, a wedge salad, salmon with herbed rice, and crème brûlée. The photos don’t do it justice, but it gives you a hint to the attention to detail and effort that went into preparing this meal. Another super awesome detail? Chef Ryan brings literally everything to your space for the meal service. Dishes, silverware, linens, and all the cookware/bakeware to prepare the meal. This meant that after the meal we had zero cleanup. Which made for more time to catch up and socialize with our friends and enjoy the evening. Thank you Chef Ryan! We would definitely love to reserve with you again the next time we are in SoCal! -Michele

Thiago was amazing! The food was delicious and he was very personable and engaging. Clearly he is passionate about what he does and that came across in his food. Would absolutely recommend!
