Kevin S. says, “Chef Cristoff cooked for our dinner party of 8 people. His communication before and service during were exceptional. I am looking forward to the next time we have an event with him. Food was amazing.”
Allan M. says, “All party guests enjoyed the food and high quality service. Would highly recommend for any event.”
Vickie A. says, “I can’t say enough about Chef Shi and her delicious food!! She was immediate in her responses & answering my questions. I had never hired a caterer before and she put me immediately at ease. She was willing to taylor the food to my Mothers preferences. I was hosting a birthday party for my Mom who turned 90 in October! We chose a traditional mexican menu (my moms favorite cuisine) for a dozen guests. Chef Shi made beef enchiladas, a taco bar with beef and chicken both with grilled veggies, two types of tortillas with ALL the toppings! Her guacamole was DELISH! As well as rice, beans and I requested elote corn. That corn dish, straight off the cobb, was the BEST!! But so was EVERYTHING she made. My guests all went for 2nd helpings! Our guests all commented how delicious everything was, which made me a happy hostess. Chef Chi and her assistant Destiny showed up on time, both so kind and professional. They had all the dishes cooked and ready before our gusts arrived. They set it all up buffet style, extremely well organized. They then set the table with disposable, yet elegant plates and gold toned utensils. These ladies set a beautiful table. Our guests all commented on how lovely it all looked. I would not hesitate to hire Chef Shi in a heartbeat!! And I will hire her again next time I host a party with many gusts. Thanks for all your hard work Chef Shi!!!!! Your food made my party a complete success!!”

Karin M. says, “Chef Julius created a marvelous German Oktoberfest feast for my family of 12 adults ( and 4 toddlers)! It was fantastic! The chicken Schnitzel was incredible! Crunchy on the outside, moist, tender and flavorful on the inside.. the best we all had ever had. Of course the Bratwursts and sides were curated from great German sources and cooked to perfection. The Apple Strudel was perfection for dessert! In addition he had his special German baker bake 2 incredible German breads, and he curated mustards, cheeses and meats for breakfast and lunch for the next morning!! In addition, Chef Julius is so easy to work with! He responds quickly and consistently during the planning, so that you know your event will be perfect. ALSO.. he and my family dressed in German outfits for the Oktoberfest Feast.. making it even more festive!”
Pat P. says, “Note: we are not easy to please, especially me! However, Mike was careful to identify our food preferences, and any dietary conditions, as well as identifying our collective love of chocolate. Mike accommodated all our requirements/wishes to come up with a menu that was a blend of what we wanted and a delightful push into a realm of fine dining that we had not expected. The unexpected? Mike came to the dining room prior to each course to talk about the food/wine pairing during the service. Also, way beyond expectations? The food was awesome. WOW! He picked out the food fresh from the Farmer's Market (Fish, Veggies, Salad, ++). He cooked every dish to perfection. And he culminated the meal with an incredible set of sundaes PLUS home-baked cookies. Mike is a great chef: attentive to both what he cooks and those who eat the meal. He made our meal a delightful and delicious EVENT. You and your guests will LOVE working with him and eating his creations.”
Andrew F. says, “I contracted Chef Sesean to come to my home and cook an elevated meal for 16 women for my wife's 40th birthday party. Everything about the experience was fantastic. It started before the event: Sesean partnered with me in thinking through the menus with real care, then presented me two options, both of which looked great. He then helped me rent beautiful dishes and flatware, brought a sous chef and servers (who were awesome) and was fast and responsive with texts leading up to the event. When the event came, my wife and her friends raved about the food. We ended up with a salad, raw fish appetizer, lamb with cherry glaze, and dark chocolate dessert. It was all awesome (I was able to taste some too and can confirm: it was fantastic). It was exactly what I wanted: elevated without being stuffy. Honestly 10/10, and fulfilled everything I was looking for in bringing a private chef to the house instead of going to a nice restaurant. It was also all plated beautifully. On top of all of that, Sesean himself was a joy to be around, as was the rest of his team. His server, So, was particularly warm and great. When you end up having people like this in your house for half a day (to say nothing of functioning almost like hosts at the party), this matters. I'd recommend Sesean gladly for anyone else doing anything like this, and if I have occasion again for an event like this, I won't shop it at all; I'll just reach out to Sesean.”
Madame I. says, “We celebrated our anniversary with a private dinner by Chef Mathias, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment the table was set, we knew we were in for something special. Every detail was beautifully handled. We started with mini quiches and croque-monsieur for aperitif, then enjoyed a delicious spread of salmon and homemade charcuterie. The highlight of the evening was the Peking duck with orange, perfectly cooked and paired with amazing vegetables. After a lovely cheese course, dessert completely wowed us: an incredible Paris-Brest and classic crêpes Suzette. What made it even more special is that Chef Mathias has cooked for the President of France, and you can truly feel that level of excellence in his cuisine. All of our guests loved the experience, and the wine pairings were spot on. Highly recommend for a unique and elevated dining experience at home!”
