We hired a 4 course meal for my Wife, Mother in law, Sister and law, and Father in law for Mother's Day. It was pricey but so was the request on food items (lobster, kobe beef, scallops, shrimp, oysters). When he arrived he quickly set up and engaged with everyone. He brought everything with him (pots, pans, plates silverware....everything). He was extremely patient on start time (we have a 5 year old autistic daughter and planning around her sleep is a bit difficult). When the meal started all you heard was "oh my" and "yumm". Everyone was licking their plates after each course. Not one complaint. He explained each meal before hand as well. He quickly and quietly cleaned up. Kitchen was left in pristine condition. Would definitely hire again. A great experience.

Our experience with Chef James was nothing short of exceptional. He did an incredible job and managed to impress both carnivores and pescatarians alike. We have lived in San Francisco for 15 years and are spoiled with the food scene there and in nearby wine country. We can arguably say that the dinner that Chef James prepared was one of the best we’ve had. He was able to pull it all off: timing, taste, presentation, and all with a calm demeanor and willing to chat a bit and answer our questions. We would use him again in a heartbeat but i have a feeling he’ll be booked. Get him while you can!

Chef Elizabeth did a fantastic job. The food and service was excellent. Highly recommend her for your next catered experience.

Our chef was so amazing! She made us feel at ease and the food was top notch! Better than going out to dine! She was so talented and gave us an amazing overall experience. Everyone was very happy!
