Sylvia and her team did a wonderful job setting everything up and made the evening very special. The presentation of the food was beautiful and everything was delicious. Highly recommend the butternut squash soup…one of the best I have ever had!

Mpumelelo was interactive, able to accommodate any changes to menu as he had proposed on the website. He was very engaging and attentive to the kids. Explained ingredients of the menu and cleaned up after himself. He was professionally dressed and and very efficient and quick in prepping meals taht were very delicious.

Thank you Chef Claudio for a great night with brilliant food!

We hired Melissa to feed our guest whom we invited to The Monkey Tree Hotel. She was tasked with dinner one night and breakfast another day for 30 people. She was phenomenal. Menu was just what we asked for, presented beautifully and she cleaned up when she was done. Our guest felt very well cared for and well fed!! Thank you.

Sehr angenehm, super Essen!

The chef was on time and prepared a wonderful meal. The service was prefect and I will use again. My only suggestion is that the chef acted rushed and ready to finish the dinner service right after serving. I would only suggest that Juan Carlo relax and engage a tad more with dinner guests.

Absolutely amazing service! Highly recommend!!

They are invited to my next pool party/BBQ/heck just stop again whenever! Loved the whole experience. Brilliant flavor pairings, excellent dish selection and presentation. They literally put me to sleep! I got tucked in! Highly recommended. Will definitely rebook.

Incredible food and services Highly recommended The food was delicious Thank You so much for these memories And wonderful time and meals

Raul went above and beyond, his presentation and knowledge of every dish was absolutely incredible. He left our kitchen cleaner then when he arrived. He was extremely friendly and attentive to every detail.

Araceli Perez was an amazing chef. The dinner she prepared for our group was on point! She is highly recommended.

Incredible food and plating! Really elevated the experience and was exactly what I was hoping for in celebrating my wife's birthday. Big portions too!

Amazing and delicious food!! And lovely personal story. Delightful experience. Also helped out with some of the service so we could enjoy our dinner. Just wonderful experience.

Soirée fantastique :)

Simply perfect. Marco is amazing. Food exceptional. Total experience was so memorable. Marco is engaging, knowledgeable and a master of his craft. We can’t wait to find another excuse to ask him to come cook for us again. Shout out to Olivia who also helped out and made the whole evening extra special.

Ein sehr guter Service, auch der Kellner war äußerst höflich. Die Paella war die Beste, die wir bisher in Spanien gegessen haben und auch die anderen Gerichte waren köstlich. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir noch das Dessert, was den Abend abgerundet hat.

Incredible experience with chef Kadek! Amazing food and service. Would recommend to anyone.

Après avoir fait appel une première fois à ce chef, on a voulu offrir cette expérience pour un anniversaire. Retours extrêmement positifs, très heureux de ce cadeau, prestation au top ! Je recommande une nouvelle fois, merci !

We loved having Sam cook for us! His dishes were amazing and hearing about his experiences as a chef up and down the east coast was so fun. This was the perfect birthday gift for my husband and we cannot wait to do it again!!

Chef Juan was very punctual, friendly and communicative. Now let’s talk about the food, we went with the sample French menu and everything was so delicious. I told chef Juan that my husband’s favorite treat was Ferrero roche and he made the yummiest Ferrero roche cake !! Everything was wonderful and even my picky infant enjoyed the meal.

Thank you Chef Claudio for a great night with brilliant food!

Sehr angenehm, super Essen!
