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.

Chef Ignacio and Vanessa were truly amazing and exceeded my expectations! He was able to revamp his dishes to accommodate my kosher diet.

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!
