I mean...I'm looking forward to the day Matthew opens a restaurant and I can go eat his food on a regular basis. Our party was amazing, thanks to Matthew, and we haven't stopped talking about the lobster risotto or ribeye/sauce yet. Looking forward to hiring him again!

We enjoyed our dinner with Chef Matthew, he was professional, friendly, worked around our plans and guests’ dietary restrictions and still provided a great dining experience. We hope to have another dinner with him.

I booked Chef Matthew for a private dinner for my fiancé's 40th birthday dinner, and was absolutely satisfied by the service. Not only was he on time, but most importantly, the food was incredible! I highly recommend him for any event.

Matthew was excellent. We will definitely use his services again.

Amazing Experience!

Overall was a amazing experience and great way to celebrate a milestone birthday!

Incredible experience! Chef Matthew was quite the chef …outstanding!

Chef Matthew was on time, professional, engaging, and clean. Our party of 7 was left very satisfied and his food exceeded our expectations. The food Chef Matthew prepared was a spectacular birthday dinner. Thank you so much!

The chef was absolutely perfect for our corporate retreat. Over the course of four days, he prepared both lunch and dinner, culminating in an impressive Thanksgiving feast that he managed to whip up in under two hours. Every dish was fresh, local, and absolutely delicious. Beyond his culinary skills, he was incredibly thoughtful about our budget, staying within our guidelines without compromising quality. He also handled our group’s dietary restrictions and allergies with ease, ensuring everyone felt included and cared for. His adaptability, professionalism, and talent were unmatched. 10/10—highly recommend!

Matt was awesome! He was friendly, clean, and the meals were excellent! He took into consideration all of our groups needs and provided a beautiful experience for us. He was also able to keep the budget pretty low, which was helpful. Would highly recommend.

Totally recommend

This was such an incredible experience for my sister’s 30th birthday celebration for 9 people. Chef Matthew was on time, engaging, professional, and efficient. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious and there was SO much food. The food was flavorful and there was something for everyone. Overall, the experience was wonderful.

We overall had a great experience

Chef Matthew’s first time taco bar was incredibly delicious. He had a wide variety of excellent flavorful dishes that everyone (11 adults) thoroughly enjoyed. While he arrived later than communicated he was quick and efficient once he arrived. The only area I would suggest improvement on is his communication- both in planning ahead via take a Chef and communication the day of. Chef explained when he arrived that he had not been feeling well earlier in the day. Notwithstanding, he did an outstanding job delivering a memorable event. Thank you Chef Matthew.

Matthew made a wonderful spread for my wife's birthday. Having someone come in, quickly make a delicious meal, explain all the dishes, and leave the kitchen even cleaner than it was before he came is truly amazing. We look forward to working with him again and can't wait to try his newest dishes.

Chef Matthew was great! Our family immediately felt like we knew him for long. He was engaging and yet discreet, courteous and fun. We enjoyed each course of the freshly prepared, tasty menu. We will definitely have him back to enjoy more of his delicious meals. He made our evening complete by going the extra mile with a big smile. Thank you Chef !

Chef Matthew is outstanding, highly recommend him for any occasion. The celebration of my engagement was excellent thanks to his delicious food and superb attention to detail.
