I've never worked with a private chef before and Take a Chef made the process easy with fabulous results. I had a group of ten colleagues staying in a house for a work retreat and wanted to treat everyone to a nice dining experience. Our chef excelled in communication, menu creation, execution, interaction with the group. I can't say enough good things to describe this experience. Thank you!

What a wonderful experience. Everything was beyond expectations. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Jeancarlo was the best.

He was amazing and incredible and will be hiring him again.

Working with Juancarlo to create our event was a great experience. Being able to work with him for multiple nights allowed be to really get to know him and experience the broad range of skills he possesses for a variety of menu choices. I had some specific timing that I wanted to meet for each of the 4 days he prepared meals for us, and he was spot on, every time. He has a great personality and a great story to share about why he does what he does. So great to meet him and would use him again next time I am in the area!

Chef Jean Carlo was amazing! Very responsive to all of my questions and the food was wonderful. We would definitely hire him again!!

We loved the whole menu. Our favorite was the "starter" of Lobster Salad! I'd love to do it again and again and try different dishes!

I can say this was a truly wonderful experience, Jeancarlo was amazing in all aspects, I did this dinner as a surprise for my husband and he understood the assignment , we texted for a few days before the day of the dinner and he was always very attentive and understood all my instructions, he adjusted to some menu changes that I wanted to do and overall very very nice experience dealing with him . The food was excellent! So tasty and wonderfully plated , we were very happy with his food , his presentation and how respectful he was . A 100% recommend him!

He was so amazing!!!! Very attentive made a separate menu for my partner and I as I don’t eat meat and she does. Took the time to explain each dishes and talk with us. Couldn’t of asked for a better chef

Chef Jeancarlo was amazing! We booked him to cook for our parents 40th anniversary. My father has terminal cancer and this we a very important day for them. They absolutely loved the chef. He was on time, the food was amazing. I’d highly recommend the tour of France menu. The stories were amazing. He altered it exactly to my parents needs. They were blown away. “Worth every penny. I don’t have enough words to describe our experience. Highly recommend”.

Without a doubt look no further. Chef Jeancarlos was absolutely amazing. This was our first time and it was above and beyond our expectations. The level of customer service and responsiveness was incredible. Looking forward to continuous business with you. It was mind blowing. Thank you.

Jeancarlo Perez is one of a kind. His dedication to planning, preparing and executing our 7 nights' dinners for 14, then 25 people in our house was nothing short of incredible. His attention to detail and menus started from the moment of contact a full year before. His communication and planning were outstanding. His food, most importantly, was fantastic, nothing short of delicious, plentiful, and well prepared with both vegetarians and meat eaters in mind. He was pleasant, prompt, respectful and always on time. We enjoyed seven different dinner "themes" prepared with our range of palates from 2 to 74 in mind! His deserts pleased even the most picky eaters and his finale of a black forest cake (which we requested) and his tira misu were among the best we have ever tasted! Do not even think of hiring another chef. Jeancarlo Perez has it all!!!!!

I would recommend this experience to anyone with no reservations. What a blast! I was so excited by the chefs menu because he took all of the information provided and suggested a tailored menu. There were such amazing flavors, things I would never try in a restaurant or make myself. Because I was hiring a chef I thought, “why not?”. I’m so glad I did. Me and the wife were blown away by the tastes, presentations and texture. Of course you expect the food to be good hiring a chef but it was also more than that. He took the time to talk to us and explain all the whys and how’s of what was presented. Seriously 10/10 experience.

Jeancarlo cooked an amazing surprise dinner at our home for my wife and I for our 10 year anniversary. He was on time, very communicative, and cooked amazing dishes. He was willing to work with me to create a great vegetarian menu. You can’t go wrong with Jeancarlo!

If you are looking for an incredible dining experience, with a professional chef who takes pride in his dishes, then look no further! JeanCarlo is the real deal. From the initial discussions of the meal to the final product, Jean Carlo was attentive to our wants and needs. We enjoy spicy foods and he was able to make fantastic recommendations to the meal that made it so special. Our anniversary dinner was made so special by JeanCarlo and we would highly recommend him for a memorable dining experience!

Chef Jeancarlo was amazing! Very professional, attentive to details, and the food was one of the best meals we have ever had. He went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!

Chef Jeancarlo was AMAZING. I think we really lucked out. He went above and beyond to make the evening a memorable one. He was punctual, fantastic communication before meeting, and went above and beyond with everything! You would be crazy to search any further.
