Reviews
Chef Cedric made my husband’s birthday celebration unforgettable. Every course was exquisite, beautifully presented, and timed to perfection. Beyond his culinary talent, his attentiveness was unmatched—he seamlessly adapted to our family dynamic, holding service whenever someone stepped away with the kids so everyone enjoyed each dish together. A phenomenal chef and consummate professional.
We hired Chef Cedric and his assistants for a party of 13 people. It was amazing! He was extremely professional, fun, and the food was divine. First, he works with you on coordinating a menu in advance for your party. Second, he arrives on time and before you know it your kitchen has transformed into a French Restaurant, with amazing smells of all the dishes tempting your taste buds! Third, when the party is over, your house is left as clean as it was before he arrived. All my guests were asking, where did you find this guy? The answer, of course, is Thumbtack. I would give him the highest recommendation, and would certainly hire him again for my next party.
I wish i could like everything about Chef Cedric! Work Quality, Value, Professionalism, Punctuality, Responsiveness, all A++. 1000% would hire again. We hired him for our baby shower because we wanted to ease our work load the day of and he was amazing. Him and his team did the set up of the table, so you literally only have to provide tables and chairs/ table cloth, and the rest his team did. They also cleaned up, and took all the table ware back with them so there was no real clean up for me, other than rolling the tablecloth and throwing it way. Our space was kind of small but the team worked around us and was amazing. Food, AMAZING!!! Of course, he gave me options to choose from before the event, because i couldn't eat anything raw he was able to accommodate my needs. Everyone was shocked at the quality of the food and how delicious it was. We, are a bunch of yappers but the food was so good the room went quiet when the Beef Wellington came out. Mind you, we had plenty of other food to nibble on while guests waited for food so you know it was good. All in all, Great service and food. Efficient, which is a huge quality trait for my older parents (if you know you know), overall just a great experience. If you have a small get together or even a large one, ours was around 25 people (kids and adults), you should definitely try Chef Cedric.
Cedric did a great job, good presentation, great taste, on time, easy to communicate and kindness.
Chef Cedric and his team were phenomenal. We had a big birthday dinner and it was such a beautiful and delicious meal. I reviewed several proposals from several catering and events company and Chef Chedric’s was the most comprehensive and priced just right for what we wanted. It was a stress free evening and everything we were looking for. Will be working with him again!
We had a wonderful experience with Chef Cedric for my mother’s birthday dinner. He was kind, respectful and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the evening. We had a four course meal and the food was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The dessert truly stood out, the lemon basil pie was delicious. Most importantly my mother loved her birthday dinner!
“Chef Cedric and his crew did an excellent and truly remarkable job for my White Christmas dinner party with love. The food was exceptional, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was flawless. Thank you for making the evening unforgettable!”
Samantha and her crew did an amazing job . The presentation and quality of the food and service were excellent. Very professional and attentive to our needs. My guests loved all the food . They made my birthday extra special. Highly recommended . Thank you team Cedric!!!!
Hiring Chef Cedric was the best decision I could have made for my event. From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every single way. The food was absolutely phenomenal - every single guest made a point to tell me how delicious it was. The professionalism, the ease of working with them, and the way every little detail was handled blew me away. My event felt truly special because of them. Even my parents, who have hosted hundreds of parties over the years, said they had never experienced service like this before. The quality of the food, the servers with their sparkling personalities, the bartender who mixed the most fantastic drinks, and Samantha who made everything look stunningly gorgeous, it was perfection. Chef Cedric and the team created not just a meal, but an entire experience. Something about their presence is so comforting, and it’s clear they put their whole heart into their work. I honestly can’t imagine hosting another event without them. I almost don’t want to rave too much because I selfishly want to keep them for myself! They truly deserve all the recognition. If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary and event experience, I cannot recommend them enough.
Chef Cedric, Samantha, and their team are amazing. They made our anniversary/birthday party of 40 people a memorable event. All our guests left raving about the food, service, and smiles from his team. Cedric is so easy to work with from the planning process to the day of the event. I am looking for an excuse to have him back!
We recently hosted a very special dinner at our backyard to celebrate our union with 40 friends, and we were looking for a chef who could deliver a true Michelin level experience. Chef Cedric, Samantha and his team absolutely delivered! From the very beginning, communication with Chef Cedric was easy and clear. He took the time to understand the kind of evening we were envisioning and as it is a bigger event, he came to our home for a tasting session. Every dish on the menu was rich, thoughtful, and incredibly delicious. And from that day, we just trusted him completely! We had about 10 friends with allergies and dietary restrictions, and Chef Cedric went above and beyond to accommodate each one. Everyone felt so included and cared for (two friends who have egg and dairy allergies said that was probably the only event they could actually enjoy all the food!) A few days before the event, he called me to make sure everything was on track and had a list of questions to confirm all the details. That extra step really reassured me that we were all good to go. On the day of the event, the whole team arrived on time hours before the dinner and fully prepared, complete with beautifully printed menus that matched the rest of my table decoration. My friends are still raving about the food! They can’t stop talking about the beef Wellington, the quality of the meat and those perfectly crispy layers. And the langoustine with parmigiano and truffle emulsion? Let’s just say, some of my friends admitted they practically "slurped" every drop of that sauce. I personally loved the scallop tartare, they were so fresh! And the mashed potato...the creamiest I've ever tried! After the dinner, I walked into the kitchen and to my surprise, it was spotless...like nothing had ever happened. Everything was cleaned up, and all the leftover food was neatly packed and stored in the fridge. We got to enjoy another delicious meal the next day. Every member of Chef Cedric’s team was professional, kind, and just a joy to have in our home. My girlfriends told me, “the team was so in sync, it didn’t even feel like they were cooking in the kitchen.” Everything was so smooth and professional. They brought such a bright, positive energy that made the entire evening feel even more special. I truly can’t emphasize enough how grateful I am for the incredible service they provided. My goal for the night was to gather all my loved ones and make sure they were well-fed and happy—and thanks to Chef Cedric and his team, that goal was more than fulfilled. It was truly an unforgettable evening! What started as a short review became a long one...and I felt that every detail was worth sharing. :)
Both Cedric and Sam were unbelievable to work with! My oven and water heater died just before the party and we had no hot water in the kitchen, neither of them batted an eyelid- just took it in their stride and said we will make it work! And make it work they did, none of my guests were ever aware that the kitchen was partially functional! The food was epic! Actually dinner was a five star experience in my own house. They thought of everything ! Presentation was impeccable and the flavor was flawless! And they interacted so well with everyone ! It really was a five star culinary experience!I highly recommend them!
Cedric was wonderful to work with and I couldn’t recommend him more! Outside of the easy and quick communication, ability to tailor the menu to vegans and still prepare fish/meat for the rest of us, Cedric also came on time, was well prepared, and so pleasant to be around. During and after this experience, we were all so blown away that we plan to hire him again! If you’re looking for a private chef who will keep quality high, not charge an arm and a leg for high quality ingredients, and is trustworthy then look no further.
