Chef Juan and his food were incredible! I ordered a meal for a colleague’s family and Chef Juan couldn’t have been more thoughtful and helpful and the food couldn’t have been more delicious. I highly recommend Chef Juan to anyone looking for an amazing meal and experience! Thank you Chef Juan!

We had the pleasure of having Chef Juan cook for us tonight, and it was truly an outstanding experience. From the start, he went above and beyond to ensure that our meal was not only delicious but also safe, as we have a severe allergy. Unlike other chefs who just mentioned they could accommodate, Chef Juan proactively updated his proposal with specific details on how he would handle the allergy. That extra attention to detail made all the difference and gave us peace of mind. Throughout the evening, he was personable, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable and engaged in conversation, and even took the time to chat with our dogs – a nice personal touch that made the experience even more enjoyable. Chef Juan was also very considerate in how he handled everything. He brought all the necessary equipment, including plates, silverware, and cooking utensils, leaving our kitchen spotless when he left. It was clear that he takes pride in his work and ensures that his clients are well taken care of every step of the way. The dinner itself was phenomenal. Each dish was expertly prepared and beautifully presented. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Chef Juan for anyone looking for a top-notch private chef experience! We hope to work with him again in the future!

We are incredibly happy that we had the pleasure of having Juan cook us a private meal! He was punctual and prepared a delicious nine-course meal for us. We appreciated that we could eat at our own pace, and he provided so many leftovers that he packed them up and stored them in the fridge. Additionally, he cleaned the kitchen and left it spotless. The food was amazing; we were so full, but we just couldn’t stop eating. We highly recommend choosing Juan as your chef; you will not be disappointed!

I hired Juan to prepare the meal for my wife's 45th birthday and he did an amazing job. We hosted 12 people and it made for a very memorable night allowing him to handle everything from appetizers to desert. I would do it again.

Chef Juan was very punctual, friendly and communicative. Now let’s talk about the food, we went with the sample French menu and everything was so delicious. I told chef Juan that my husband’s favorite treat was Ferrero roche and he made the yummiest Ferrero roche cake !! Everything was wonderful and even my picky infant enjoyed the meal.

Punctual, professional, accommodating to my needs, polite and personable. Would definitely hire him again and I recommend him for in home chef specially for fine dining.

This was such an incredible experience for my husband's birthday! We had a 4 course dinner for 2 and loved everything about it! We will definitely be doing this again in the future. Thank you!

Juan created a beautiful experience. Every dish was not only delicious but also aesthetically pleasing. Would recommend this chef to anyone in search of an amazing dining moment.

Chef Juan was very professional and more importantly the food was delicious. There was a story behind everything served and the plates were decorated beautifully. For Asian fusion or any other dish I would recommend Chef Juan!
