Chef Ignacio and Vanessa were absolutely fantastic and exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent, the service was fantastic, and they were both so friendly and so humble. We could not have asked for a better experience. Will recommend Chef Ignacio to anyone and everyone that will listen.

Chef Ignacio was amazing the dinner came out perfect

Chef Ignacio was extraordinary.

The experience, presentation and overall was excellent!! Highly recommend this chef.

Chef Ignacio was fantastic. From the minute I got his proposal, he was very communicative and helpful. We had a shellfish allergy in our group and he was very accommodating to make a special menu for that one person. Chef showed up on time, made a fabulous dinner, had a beautiful presentation of the food and cleaned up nicely behind him. Would recommend 10/10. We had a really great experience!

Ignacio was totally amazing. Great personality, professional, engaging and his preparation and presentation was great, but better than that, food was amazing

A wonderful experience

We had an amazing experience with Chef Ignacio !! The food was absolutely delicious and we would definitely use his services again

Everything was very good and filling. Everyone enjoyed their meal. thank you

I can’t even begin to explain how amazing our experience was with Chef Ignacio. We initially went through Take A Chef as my fiancé and I were going to be in Miami with 17 of our closest friends and wanted to do a special dinner on our last night. Ignacio & his team arrived promptly and made the most outstanding meal. They were accommodating to everyone’s dietary needs and were so polite. The experience was truly outstanding and we could not recommend Chef Ignacio & his team more.

Chef Ignacio executed on a perfect custom Valentine’s Day menu! He was prompt, engaging and the overall experience was amazing.

We had an incredible experience, and would highly recommend our chef Ignacio García Duque!! he was wonderful, and the food was outrageous! We also could not believe the portion size and how big the meal was. Outstanding value for the price!

Very professional and polite . The food was amazing. I will definitely be booking again.

My friends and I had an incredible experience! The food was amazing and the chef and the assistant were so pleasant 10/10 recommend

Ignacio did an incredible job for our private dinner for 8. The food was fantastic and beautifully presented. Ignacio and his assistant left the kitchen better than they found it. Would highly recommend him and certainly will use him again.

Chef Garcia was amazing! It was such a great treat to have 5 star dining in our home. We will definitely be doing this more often.

Chef Ignacio and Vanessa were truly amazing and exceeded my expectations! He was able to revamp his dishes to accommodate my kosher diet. They also went out of their way to reorganize my living/dining area to give it a more intimate feel. This was the perfect anniversary gift. Gentlemen, if you have a special someone in your life this is the way to go! 10/10 will definitely recommend to a friend!

This experience with Chef Ignacio exceeded all of my expectations! He was communicative and accommodating from the beginning and made the entire process from proposal to cleanup flawless. Chef and his assistant Vanessa created an incredible atmosphere from the start. They went above and beyond to set the table and create an ambience that was professional and creative. Chef was friendly and fun, engaging and beyond talented with his culinary skills. Chef mixed and matched the menu selections for us based on our own preferences and made it truly personalized and custom to our wants. The food was next level delicious and the service was 10 stars, truly. My group and I agreed this private chef experience was the best part of our vacation and that we will hire Chef Ignacio again in the future. Don’t hesitate for a second, hire Chef Iganacio if you have the chance!
