Chef Rudy was fantastic and really made sure to give us a memorable experience. He was attentive, conversational, and extremely respectful. It was such a great night and I would highly recommend it!

Chef Rudy was great! Delicious food and great presentation. Was very fun to talk with during the entire dinner. We worked back and forth between the menu, he was very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend again 10/10

We were so thrilled hiring Chef Rudy Galindo to help us celebrate our wedding anniversary this year. Chef Rudy was the best chef we’ve ever had the pleasure of hiring for a special event. He was such a pleasure to work with and so responsive. He answered any questions we had right away. When he got here, he already brought everything he needed from cookware to plating, and of course, the food. We didn’t have to buy or prepare anything ahead of time – he took care of everything. After the dinner, he cleaned up the kitchen and brought all the dirty dishes home with him – nothing for us to clean! The dinner he prepared was unbelievable. Everything was so delicious, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! Portions were perfect and we were quite full at the end of the meal. I cannot recommend Chef Rudy enough! He greatly exceeded all our expectations! He is so passionate about food and was dedicated to making our night a hit. He was so professional, easy going, and just overall a very nice guy. He really went the extra mile to make our anniversary extra special, and truly unforgettable. We will happily invite him back again next year and would love to introduce him to all our friends.

We had chef Rudy for our son’s 12th birthday surprise dinner with his friends. From the beginning till the end he made everything seamless and easy.

Our son was so thankful and it was overall a wonderful experience for all. We will definitely have him back! Thank you Chef Rudy!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Rudy as a private chef for a special dinner event, and I must say it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. From his initial contact to the final serving of dessert, Rudy's professionalism and culinary expertise shone through.
