Absolutely fantastic. 10/10! Chef was very engaging, and the food was brilliant. It was great to watch him cook and bring everything together, he was more than happy to answer my (many) questions and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Thank you very much.

Chef cercano, educado y profesional. La comida fue genial en calidad y cantidad. Lo dejó todo recogido al irse.

Thank you Chef Santiago for a great dinner experience for the family. Chef was very attentive and flexible in helping us come up with a menu that suited our needs, catered to dietary requirements, and was easy to communicate with. The food was great and he was very patient in answering all the questions we had about the origins of the dishes, as well as cooking methods. Overall, I would recommend Santiago, thanks again for providing us with quality food on a great family night in.

Gio was amazing for my special dinner. He arrived on time and provided an excellent service including a few additional courses. He was engaging with all my guests and left my kitchen spotless. The food was delicious. I can’t wait to book him again. If your reading this and considering to book gio, just go ahead and book, he won’t disappoint.

She was awesome, knew what she was doing, knew her way around the kitchen, very talkative, explained the food and everything. Would definitely recommend her and use her again for any events.

Chef Elia was extremely professional and competent. She presented an awesome holiday dinner to 10 guests at my house. The whole process of discussion menu option and preparing were also handled with grace by chef Elia leading up to the party. Highly recommend!!!

What a lovely day - everything was seamless. Our chef and his team were incredible and the food was delicious. Thank you!!

Paolo was absolutely incredible, from the dishes, to the wine, to conversation and the ending to the evening. We highly recommend him!

Me encantó el servicio y fue atento.

Great dinner and service, thanks a lot! We will definitely be doing this again.

Nicolas and Jane made an incredible dinner. There were even many extra dishes not on the menu which were amazing. Everyone had more than enough to eat with the extras. A great experience!

Chef Kory was a pleasure to have in our home and kitchen. Communication prior to our meal was good and through. He was punctual and prepared. Had all his ingredients with him. All fresh and plentiful. He was engaging to talk to and share stories about is cooking background and the dishes he was preparing. The food was great. The menu tasty and filling. The dishes were well plated and presented well. He cleaned up prior to leaving. Having Chef Kory was a special experience and we loo forward to doing it again.

Just WOW! What a chef!! Chef Tash is AMAZING!! Not only did she work with me in great detail to get the menu right, she even took the time to give me options and catered to my every need. She was punctual, professional & is a true master of her craft. We even got to pick her brain on flavor profiles of the masterpiece of a spread she's curated for our gathering. Gave us tips and pointers in the kitchen She's warm, kind, funny and just amazing. I will 100% reach back out to Chef Tash again for her services. Everything was exceptional! (Especially the desserts...OMG the desserts!)

The whole experience was so good and I loved it so much I can’t wait to do it again soon.

Her professional and serving was top notch. The freshness and proportions were outstanding. Overly impressed.
