Kadek Guna was a professional and personable chef, bringing lovely Indonesian food and warm energy to our private dinner. His menu was well put together, beautifully presented. I received positive feedback from guests about all the courses. I would certainly recommend his services

Erik was very professional , we took a sushi class and it was so fun and entertaining much more than we expected. I’d recommend it 100% you can tell Eriks knowledge and passion about Japanese cuisine.

Chef Sunitha was a delight to work with. Although held up in traffic she was still able to produce a wonderful experience for my birthday celebration.

A-MAZING! This experience is one of the best things we have ever done! A 50th Birthday gift, we booked a luncheon so we could sit outside in our garden to enjoy the weather & the spoils & Chef Paolo didn't disappoint. He was organized, polite, hard working & happy. Every dish was delivered with a smile & explanation, Chef happily answering questions about his masterpieces & then ushering off to create our next course. The plates were licked clean, our bellies full & no cleaning up- as Chef Paolo did the lot! We didn't stop smiling all day! Thank you so much Chef for giving us your incredible food & this incredible lunch!

Excelente servicio! El chef Jhon Alejandro fue particularmente detallista con nuestro servicio. Respetuoso, cordial, amable y muy profesional. Orden y limpieza. Nos sentimos muy bien atendidos y servidos. Su sazón ! Excelente. Gracias chef.

Gabriele hat für unsere kleine Hochzeit (insgesamt 13 Personen) gekocht. Es war alles absolut perfekt. Das Essen hat atemberaubend gut geschmeckt. Die Zutaten wären von hoher Qualität, regional und frisch. Wir haben jeden Gang des Menüs genossen. Er ist auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen und hat uns sogar noch mit ein paar Extras überrascht. Gabriele war sehr freundlich und hat die Leidenschaft fürs Kochen die ganze Zeit über ausgestrahlt. Wir sind absolut begeistert und können Ihnen nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Excellent work! was a pleasure!

Chef Sara responded fast on questions and was very open to requests. The dinner was amazing and exactly the local cuisine we wanted to experiance. We really enjoyed the food. Would definitely recommend!

We hired Chef Michael for our small wedding ceremony and the consensus at the table was it was the best meal we have ever had. The food was incredible, it both looked and tasted amazing. We plan to hire him again for our anniversary dinner. We cannot thank him enough for making the journey way out to where we held our ceremony and working with us around our schedule for the day. I highly recommend to anyone considering to hire him, he will not disappoint you.

Chef Jayne and her team prepared fantastic dinner, took care of us throughout the night and left the place absolutely spotless. Thank you!

Chef Dan and Chef Cassidy were absolutely fabulous for my bachelorette party of 11! While curating the menu, I mentioned that we had a few dietary restrictions in the group, and they were more than happy to accommodate everyone. The meal was elevated and truly felt like a fine dining experience. They arrived right on time and set up the most beautiful tablescape, complete with decorative menus. They even surprised me with a vinyl record to use on my record player, which was such a thoughtful personal touch! They treated us like royalty from start to finish, and their attention to detail was incredible. They also cleaned up immaculately and left us with the leftovers to enjoy later that night. I cannot recommend Chef Dan and Chef Cassidy enough! If you’re looking for a special, elevated dining experience for your next occasion, absolutely book them. They made my bachelorette dinner so memorable!

Ugo and Jean Mario did an incredible job with our group of 26 people. With a mix of traditional German dishes, italian dishes, tapas and anything else we wanted to have. They worked well whether it was more casual buffet style lunches up into our Gala dinner. They always left the kitchen spotless afterwards as well, and were very organized. In general they were a pleasure to have around. I would recommend Ugo in a heartbeat!

I would highly recommend Elia - she came and cooked dinner for 10 for a celebration. She was super friendly but professional and discreet. Her food was absolutely delicious and great value for money. I would not hesitate to hire her again.

Deon was great. We highly recommend him and will make use of him again

The cook deserves a raise. The food quality was amazing and the amount of food was almost overwhelming. The atmosphere was super relaxed and enjoyable. Can’t recommend enough. You are missing out.

Gregory traveled all the way to Bocas to cook us an incredible meal during our vacation. He was communicative, prompt, engaging, and a wonderful chef! The dinner was so delicious and something we will never forget!

Katrina was excellent! We loved everything about her! Her food was fantastic! She was prompt, communicative, fun, personable and clean. We would totally have her cook for us again! Thank you chef Katrina!

Andrew was amazing ! He was professional & engaging & an incredible chef ! We had a fun evening connecting with him & learning more about his time in the industry & enjoying amazing food ! His preparation & thoughtfulness towards the menu & the entire evening was 10/10. Would recommend Andrew to anyone & it was a lot of fun & incredible dishes !

Had a great experience! Would highly recommend :)

Food was delicious, Chef was wonderful and we had a great evening. Highly recommend
