Reviews
Cannot recommend Chef Xavier enough! From the initial contact to creating the menu to executing an amazing experience and cleaning up like he was never even there, everything was perfect! Our family style dinner was absolutely delicious and my family raved about the entire experience. Xavier and April really went the extra mile and created such a memorable evening.
Food was amazing! Highly recommend, will be using Xavier again. Really nice guy and made us a great meal. He hand picked us steaks from a local farm that was delicious and we had amazing wagyu sliders. 10/10
