Chef Paul was amazing. He was wonderful and very kind and polite. We enjoyed his company and his amazing food. The best filet I have had. And the potatoes. Yum! I can’t wait to use him again.

We were delighted to hire Chef Paul for a large family reunion, where he crafted a delicious vegetarian Turkish menu for 16 people. Our entire family was so impressed with the quality of the food, the presentation, and how punctual and professional he was. He certainly kept everyone entertained and engaged with his stories through the day. We definitely would recommend Chef Paul for any event or gathering, and hope to work with him again in the future!

I had the pleasure of hiring Chef Paul for a special Valintines Day dinner, and I couldn't be happier with the experiance. Not only was Chef Paul punctual and professional, but the quality of food was exceptional. Each dish was expertly prepared and beautifully presented. He brought his own china and tablecloths which brought a romantic element to the dinner. We were very impressed as he brought out dish after dish each tasting better than the last. The stories he told us about the meal he was preparing, and his experience professionally cooking kept us entertained all night. To top it off Chef Paul cleaned up everything in the kitchen before leaving. When we saw it we both thought it looked a lot cleaner than before. I highly recommend Chef Paul for any event where you want delicious food and impeccable service.

It was really good I enjoyed the food, he accommodated to the place and to all the conditions of the place cause it wasn’t the easiest and he did amazing I enjoyed not only his food olso the preparation and his personality! So it was delightful
