Chef Marina was excellent. She created a great menu and discussed it with me ahead of time. She arrived on time, prepared a delicious meal, and left the kitchen spotless. Highly recommend.

Chef Staver and Alexi were incredible!!! Chef Staver from the moment we started communicating to hours past our engagement was very professional and the attention to detail was outstanding. My wife and I were amazed at the creations that Chef Staver and Alexi prepared. The ambiance they created for the dining area was nothing short of spectacular. The food was far beyond our wildest dreams. We highly recommend Chef Starver and her team for any occasion you have. The chef will work with you and get to know you so your experience will be created just for your engagement. We will soon have them back for more decadent cuisine.

2 of my friends and I wanted to end our trip in Miami with a clean, healthy meal curated by a professional chef. Chef Marina exceeded our expectations! She was very professional, engaging and answered all of our questions with a smile. We enjoyed her positive energy, as much as the food.
