Sacha's dinner and brunch were divine. He had everyone asking for the ingredients. They were well set up and all we had to do was show up. He was a joy to work with and we highly recommend him.

Sacha exceeded our expectations. He provided a huge menu to choose from, accommodated for food allergies in the party, and made above and beyond courses. Would highly recommend him again!

Chef Sacha was wonderful. Prior to the event he provided details of what to expect and many choices for the menu. He answered all my questions and put me at ease. The day of the event, Chef Sacha was punctual, had a great personality and fit in with my crazy family. The food was served promptly and was delicious. He made my birthday celebration that much more special.

What a great experience! I surprised my wife for her 6oth birthday with a surprise party! A private chef is has been something she has been wanting to experience for awhile. Chef Sacha was awesome! The Halibut and Filet Minion dishes were incredible, as well as the salads and desert!

Chef Sacha and his team prepared a dinner for a small group of family (6 adults) to celebrate a milestone wedding anniversary. We have two celiac members, so he made the whole meal gluten free. Three passed appetizers, two salads, steak entree and a dessert. His server was a former bartender and she made a number of special cocktails we requested, paired four wines with our courses, etc. Dishes were cleaned and put away, kitchen clean, and everybody full! Most importantly, the food was excellent.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Sacha was so amazing and every single course was delicious. Sacha made us an italian meal the spaghetti with roma tomato confit was out of this world! This was one of my favorite meals and the hit of my friends bachelorette weekend, everyone raved about it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Sacha was exceptional. We decided to go with the 4 course meal and wine tasting - everything was amazing. He educated us on both the food and drink and left the kitchen looking better than when he arrived. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to create a special evening in Napa.

Chef Sacha was very responsive and very helpful right from the first contact. We hired him to cook for us in-home at my sister’s bachelorette party in Sonoma. He helped me design a menu that worked for everyone and he had many dishes to choose from. The food was excellent and everyone was more than pleased. I would highly recommend his chef services!

Chef Sacha and his team provided the reception dinner for my wedding. It was a smaller event, heavily focused on the dinner experience. We wanted an elevated experience and they DELIVERED! His staff were charming and personable, the food was delicious, and the procession through the various courses was perfectly timed. Really can't thank him and his team enough! Great job!

My husband’s 50th Birthday party was an amazing evening. Chef Sacha’s food was so incredibly delicious and everyone enjoyed watching him prep and prepare. Thank you for making our night so memorable!

Marika M.Sep 2020

Sacha catered the baby shower I had for my daughter in law. It was delicious, innovative and excellent quality food. He prepared in my kitchen and served everything fresh for the guests. The presentation was beautiful and tastefully done. Vanya helped with serving drinks and kept the glasses full, she was also helping Sacha in the kitchen. I didn’t have to worry about anything, I was able to enjoy the party. When they were done left the kitchen spotlessly clean which I also appreciate it so much. I will definitely call on him for my next gathering, wonderful experience and delicious food! Thanks!

Chef Sacha is fantastic in every way. Our intimate wedding dinner was exactly what we hoped it would be. Each course was beautiful and delicious and our guests were thrilled. We don’t need to post photos because his website is spot on. Would love to have him back for another special dinner.
