This was the second time we’ve used Chef Ortega and can’t wait to have him again. His food is amazing both in creativity and taste. Not only did he do a fun menu for five kids but a delicious different one for 6 adults. No drama, worked quickly and quietly in a small condo kitchen.

Food and experience was incredible.

Most amazing experience. 6 adults and 5 kids and everyone was happy. Food was divine and SO much of it. Charcuterie board then chocolate fondue before we even had the first course! Then tomato soup and grilled cheese for the kids while the adults started with Cobb salad and mini fried chicken sliders. I was already full. On to steak and veggies and finished with lava cake. The kitchen was immaculate. The Chef was so easy to work with and cooked everything we asked for and more!

We celebrated my parents 40th anniversary by hiring a remarkable chef. The food was amazing and the presentation was great. Everything was so easy as they brought all the supplies and let us just enjoy the evening. We had an incredible experience with Jonathan Ortega.

Great service.

Chef Ortega was great. The food was delicious and was just what we needed after a long day on the slopes!
