Chef Benjamin was so amazing in all ways. He and Tammi were both on time, engaging, and helpful. They were willing to “talk food” with my husband and I before the party and never hesitated to offer help and service throughout the evening. The food itself was incredible—some of the best gnocchi I have ever had! The dinner just took my husband’s birthday to the next level! We will definitely be working with Chef Benjamin again!

Outstanding Performance. Chef Benjamin was on time, he set to work immediately. As our guests arrived he was engaging and happy to talk about his work, or remain in the background. When it was time to eat, his presentation was exquisite, his explanations excellent, and the food was outstanding. I highly recommend Chef Benjamin.

Our chef was fantastic in every way. Great to work before, during and after the meal. Communication was great. Easy to work with while the menu was being finalized. On time. Very professional. Nice guy. The guests loved him. The meal was incredible. Well explained. The kitchen was cleaner when he left than when he got there. You can invite your most important guest with confidence.

Chef Ben Brittsand is amazing, his food is Michelin star quality and he is very friendly and personable.

Chef Benjamin was incredible. We had an amazing meal for my wife’s birthday celebration. The Italian cuisine was spot on. A dinner to remember for a long time. Would love to hire Chef Benjamin again in the future.

Benjamin came to our house served a private meal for our wedding anniversary. It was delightful and exceeded our expectations. He was conversational and charming during prep but gave us privacy to enjoy our moment and our meal. The food was five star, from the salad course to the dessert. I highly recommend Benjamin.

We booked Chef Benjamin for our anniversary. Every course was very good and he was extremely professional throughout the dinner.

Chef Benjamin did an incredible job. I hired him for my sister in laws bachelorette party and he navigated the party well. The food was absolutely amazing. We all enjoyed every single dish. The presentation and explanation with each dish was great as well. I would absolutely hire him for another event.

This was my first time having a Private Chef. Chef Benjamin is absolutely AMAZING!!! He is very punctual and engaging not only with the host(me) but also my guest. This was my first time really celebrating my birthday since the passing of my Dad who passed the day after my birthday in 2019. Chef Benji, knew the importance of this event for me and he delivered across the board! He simply exudes professionalism and creativity. He is a Chef that tackles challenges that may arise and he gets the job done. What Chef Benji did not anticipate was the many stairs he would have to go up and down to bring my guest and I our food on the roof top, and not one bad word or complaint was muttered. His take on different cuisines is exceptional and he truly made my birthday memorable and unique. Will be booking with him for future events for sure. Anyone who books with Chef Benji will be in for a burst of flavors and outstanding service. He’s truly a MASTER CHEF of his craft.

Chef Benjamin was excellent and I would highly recommend him. Our event was a huge success and the Chef was very accommodating both adjusting to our timing and making last minute changes. He was timely and professional. Five stars for a beautiful and delicious menu!! Clean up was amazing and a gift. I can't say enough positive things about our experience. Seriously, can't wait until the next event! -Tricia K.

Wonderful experience!

Chef Ben was PHENOMENAL. He not only reached out about our COVID comfort levels, but was flexible, communicative, and super accommodating with allergies, GF, vegetarian, etc. The food was delicious and the explanations were fantastic. The clean up was super. Overall, the service was amazing and we would definitely work with Chef Ben again!
