Amazing experience. Loved the food and presentation.

Such an amazing chef. We had a good time and he was so patient, and helpful the whole dinner. Our food was amazing, I love my chicken so much and the pork was very tasty ❤️

I booked this private chef experience as a surprise for my husband’s birthday while we were on a getaway! Jonathan was so friendly and the food was so delicious!! Jonathan even upgraded dessert to a cake. I appreciated the attentiveness & thoughtfulness to executing the vision I had for dinner. Thank you SO much, Jonathan! We will definitely be booking again!

Jonathan was great! He was easy going and funny. His food was great. That Pork Belly Tornado Bowl was amazing! Next time we visit, we will definitely get him again to try the rest of his menu.

Chef Jonathan was amazing and extremely easy to work with. His food was spectacular, especially the dessert he put together. After dinner he cleaned up the kitchen and left it spotless. Would recommend this experience to anyone!

This was our first time hiring a private chef and Jonathan did not disappoint He made a superb meal and most importantly, was very personable. We had great conversation which added to the experience. We will definitely use his services again in the future. Thank you Jonathan for making this experience a memorable one!!

Wonderful chef; professional, knowledgeable, and extremely hospitable. We enjoyed his meals and service.
