Chef Axel was amazing, communicated and interacted with us when needed, was able to have a laugh, and to top it all off the food was delicious.

Chef Bobby is the best! Every aspect of the experience was perfect. Planning, arrival, coursing, presentation, and food quality. It was a fine dining experience right in our home. Will book chef Bobby again for future events!

Super expérience avec le chef, tout était parfait, délicieux, très bien présenté. Merci pour ce moment!

A wonderful experience. This was the first time I used a private chef and everything was perfect. I will definitely request him again in the near future.

Jeffrey was amazing!

O nosso jantar com o chefe Rui Pinheira foi incrível. Comida excelente, simpatia extrema e profissionalismo exemplar. Correu tudo na perfeição.

Jaël allie l’amabilité, la sympathie et le professionnalisme. Il a su marier de nombreuses saveurs dans chacun de ses plats. Ce fut pour nous une belle découverte.

Chef Don was incredible. He made our event truly special and made it so easy on us to host. Our friends have been talking about it for weeks!

Chef Supreme was outstanding! His menu was exactly what we were looking for. The quality of food exceeded expectations and he was friendly and kind while in our home. Highly recommended.

Chef Emilia was punctual, professional, and organized. She was able to make our family dinner so special. Highly recommend!

Professional and kind chef with excellent food. Very accommodating and experienced. He adapted his menu to fit the needs for our event which we highly appreciate. Thanks so much

Our chefs were friendly and professional and we enjoyed their company immensely. The food was delicious, and they explained everything thoroughly. They arrived very prepared and cleaned up incredibly well. I would absolutely host them again and highly recommend the experience.

Chef Peggy is lovely!

Chef Alfonso put on a great lunch party for us. Very tasty food and his communication in the months leading up to the event was very attentive. Highly recommended!

Bruno hat uns ein hervorragendes Essen gezaubert, weshalb ich ihn nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen kann. Alle waren begeistert. Jederzeit wieder!

Eva nous a proposé une prestation bien au delà de nos attentes. Merci encore pour ce moment, ma compagne était ravie. Merci ☺️

Chef Graeme was brilliant from arrival to departure! Food was so delicious, he was very attentive and professional. Would definitely recommend!

Our group consisted of 4 adults and 7 children and Berenice cooked dinners for a week. Each night she made a delicious, thoughtful meal. She was always punctual, was so pleasant to have around and treated everyone so kindly. All of the adults and children loved the food. She even made a social cake for us on her last night. Would highly recommend her services.

We hired Chef Dillion for our anniversary dinner, and he exceeded every expectation. He didn't just bring incredible food; he brought the entire restaurant atmosphere, providing a tablecloth, beautiful plates to highlight each course, and even candles to set the mood. The meal itself was flawless. The crudo was a hit, and the scallop dish with chorizo was a personal favorite. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked, followed by a stunning blood orange crème brûlée. Chef was responsive, meticulous, and easy-going, leaving our kitchen spotless at the end of the night. If you want a seamless, high-quality private dining experience, he is the one to call.

Excelente experiencia, increíble sabor, atención, presentación de los platillos. Súper ameno Adrian, literal como si un amigo fuera a hacer de comer a tu casa. Delicioso todo!
