A combination of all five senses, nourishing the mind, body, soul, family, and friends.

Chef Dylan was very easy to work with and lovely to talk to. Before the service, he was extremely prompt to reply to questions (and I had a lot), and we were able to coordinate seamlessly on the Take A Chef platform. He arrived on time and quickly set up for cooking and ensured that the food was promptly served in courses at our requested start time. And the food was just beautifully presented and extremely tasty. I saved some for the next day (French countryside menu), and the braised short ribs with risotto was just so tasty. My guests (total party of 6) were very impressed and excited by the menu, and all the food was enjoyed tremendously. The autumnal soup was especially a hit with everyone! Clean up was thorough and quick. Thank you, Chef Dylan! We would definitely book him again and encourage others to do so!

The food was so amazing. We were definitely talking about it for days later!

Chef Dylan took care of my wife and I on our wedding day. Pilsner be happier with his performance. Food was incredible, he was punctual and his service was amazing, but most importantly you can tell he loves what he does and that made the experience so much better. Thank you Chef Dylan, I can’t wait to do another dinner again with you as the chef!

Chef Dylan was professional and the food was delicious! He created a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner for us.

I highly recommend Chef Dylan and will use him again if the occasion arises. I hosted a dinner party in Los Angeles. As I live in Arizona, all the planning was done via Zoom. I was delighted with Chef Dylan's flexibility and ease in working together. He was very conscious and welcomed my and my wife's questions and input. We developed a great menu that was well received by dinner participants. Everyone commented on how well they enjoyed the appetizers, meal, and dessert. I highly recommend Chef Dylan.

Our chef - Dylan Roston - was simply the best! Affordable, warm, friendly, flexible, talented, and creative! What a perfect choice he was! A true professional. He worked directly with me from the very beginning to help create the best experience possible. He was flexible with the menu, and cooperative throughout the entire process. The food was absolutely delicious! He made my wife's birthday dinner the best gift ever! Chef Dylan was everything you would want in bringing a private chef into your home. It felt like having a buddy come over to spend the evening, who just happened to be a wonderfully talented chef as a bonus! The entire experience was first-rate. We will certainly be using Chef Dylan again!

Chef Dylan was amazing! He made our special occasion truly special, and we can’t wait to have him back in our home to cook! Highly recommend!

Chef Dylan and team did an incredible job for us on Saturday night. He worked independently while we finished up our service and came back to a wonderful presentation including items we hadn't even discussed but added great value. My kids and guests were very happy and we had some leftovers to share too!

Chef Dylan was incredible. He's a great guy and a wonderful cook. The food was truly fantastic and I would highly recommend him to anyone in the LA area. Thank you so much again for such a great evening!

Chef Dylan made us a truly fantastic dinner for my husband’s birthday. We truly enjoyed our time with him and his attention to our dietary requests. The food was delicious and our kitchen was left spotless, smelling amazing for the rest of the night.

Chef Dylan and his assistant Sous Chef Chris (A drink mixologist!) took the time to create an excellent menu based on our preferences! He was very personable, accommodating, and a true professional! We highly recommend Chef Dylan for your next special dinner occasions!

Chef Dylan was simply amazing. From coordinating the menu, to meeting in person he was a true professional. Great conversation, great service, and GREAT food. Will definitely want to have him again in the future - not only for the food, but for his company as well.

Chef Dylan was exceptional!

Dylan was amazing. Phenomenal food and great presence. Talked with us while he prepared the food and made it an experience we will never forget!

Wonderful experience with a great chef!

Dylan was incredible. We had several dietary restrictions, and Dylan put together a menu that was not only delicious, but took into account the gluten and dairy free preferences of some of the guests. He was timely, pleasant to talk with, and engaging with guests (even speaking Spanish to my Mexican family). 5/5, highly recommended.
