Chef Denis!! Booked for a friends 40th in Dublin - exceeded our expectations! Everything made from scratch, huge portions, took care of everything. Thanks for a great evening

Chef Rivera was very professional, personable and punctual. He has a great personality and explained the progession of dinner. The food was delicious, we all enjoyed the meal and the wine pairings were very nice. It was a great experience, they left the kitchen immaculate. It was such a relaxing evening. I loved the printed menus. The crab cakes were a big hit!!

Chef was super friendly and lovely, and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend :)

Chef Jennifer was a real delight to work with both leading up to our party as well as throughout. Her communication was excellent and there was never a moment where I felt unsure about what was going to be served or what was required. Any questions were answered promptly and when changes were required she was very accommodating. Her communication was always professional and friendly. Chef arrived on time and was friendly yet unassuming with guests. The food was absolutely excellent! There wasn't a complaint among anyone. We had a steak dish and each was accurately prepared to the temperature preference of each guest. Clean up was spotless and the kitchen was left as if she hadn't even been there. Chef's daughter also came to serve the meal and was also professional yet friendly. It was 5 star restaurant service within the comfort of home and the benefit of never having to leave the house. Thank you Chef Jennifer for an excellent evening!

On a passé un très bon moment avec le chef Adrien qui a été à l’écoute de nos besoins. Les plats étaient joliment décorés, bien servis et très goûtus.

Akad was amazing! So much tasty food, made our birthday party memorable. Thanks again

Absolutely incredible!! From the moment Gareth walked through the door we were blown away by him. His attention to detail with the food and how he explained every course to us was exceptional. The flavours just blew you away!! We will 100% be requesting the pleasure of Gareth cooking for us again and highly recommend 10/10.

Wonderful experience! Chef Kelly was a joy to have, and her food was excellent.

Chef Lucky Silva was incredible! Thank-you for the experience and I'm definitely recommending this site and Lucky in the future

Our evening was incredible, the plating was fantastic and the food was amazing. One of the best meals we’ve ever had!

Tamla and her assistant were both very friendly and attentive. We had a cooking class with the first course which was slot of fun and informative!

Fantastic experience!

Chef Carlos was the perfect icing on the cake for our anniversary celebration. He was collaborative, easy to work with, and the food was absolutely delicious. We truly enjoyed having him in our home—10/10, highly recommend!

We had our small wedding reception catered and from beginning to end we were amazed. Chef made everything so easy and always communicated with us. Then, when the food arrived, we were transported from Italy to heaven. Dish after dish of made from scratch incredible food, all with their own unique flavors and presentation. From the first course to the last bite of dessert, everything was perfect. We would absolutely recommend him to everyone!

Chef Kali is amazing! I highly recommend her. Each course she prepared was phenomenal. She attends to every detail and specific request with enthusiasm, care, and professionalism. Book her immediately! But please don't take my next date. I'm thrilled to engage her talents again!

Chef Horacio and Chef Lindsay collaborated to make a complex family gathering a thoroughly memorable experience. They had to negotiate various dietary preferences including kosher and vegetarian, plus six kids of varying relationships to food. The resulting meal was a delight and made the entire event, a 50th wedding anniversary, a perfect one that each of us will cherish. I cannot say enough good things about Chef Horacio, his skill, his enthusiasm, his winning personality. As he was leaving, he got a spontaneous standing ovation!

“Un immense merci, au Chef Antoine pour cette expérience culinaire incroyable. On sent tout l’amour et la créativité que vous mettez dans vos créations. Bravo et encore merci !”

Chef Brad Campbell and Katie were amazing! The whole experience exceeded expectations. The dinner party was definitely a memorable moment in our lives. The food was over the top tasty, professionally well presented, and a fun event. Chef Brad gave us a description of each of the four courses as they were served. They were interactive at the perfect amount and times. While we were engaged with the guests at the table, they silently served and did not interrupt the flow of our party. But prior and after they discussed their methods and interacted with everyone. Excellent venue in our home. Highly recommended!!! Can’t give enough praise to Chef Brad and Katie for this gift of artistry with food. Thank you.

Chef Erik and his assistant were incredible. I loved watching the detail they put into every course. The entire experience was amazing.
