Chef Michael Keith

Chef At Home In Naples

For the last 5 years I have worked at Hotel/Resorts and Yacht Clubs. In 2019 after I finished college I started working at Naples Grande Beach Resort at there Fine Dining restaurant Catch of the Pelican. After covid the restaurant closed I helped open a Mediterranean restaurant in estero working with wood fire ovens! I am looking forward to meeting you and giving you and your guests the ultimate culinary experience!

For me, cooking is...

My passion and lifestyle. I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else!

I learned to cook at...

Various hotels and resorts

A cooking secret...

always using fresh ingredients and making sure everything that I make comes out perfect!

Chef Michael was a joy to work with. He used top quality ingredients, including local, homegrown, micro greens, and heirloom tomatoes. Everything was top notch. It looked beautiful and tasted wonderful! His cleanup was superb.

Chef Micheal was very professional& made my husbands 40th birthday a night to remember. He was wonderful with his communication & tweaked the menu to fit our specific requests. The food was great (specifically the bacon wrapped scallops were ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) We will be using him again!
