Reviews
We hired Chef Karla to cook for my mom’s 70th birthday and we were blown away and absolutely stuffed. Chef Karla was easy to work with, extremely friendly and professional and made everything feel seamless. I would definitely recommend.
Karla is an amazing classically trained chef. She created an amazing meal for my special event. Truly impressive, punctual and presentation was immaculate! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a next level experience.
Karla provided great service for my best friend’s bachelorette party. We enjoyed delicious appetizers with many options, salad, entree and delicious dessert! Karla was very communicative and professional, she brought delightful energy to our event and provided elite service. I would highly recommend her!!
Karla is the best chef we’ve ever encountered and she’s so much more than that. She’s an incredible person who instantly feels like family every time she’s around. Even our 3-year-old adores her. Karla is always able to surprise us with unique delicious dishes while also nailing the comforting flavors we grew up loving—whether it’s South American, Middle Eastern, or any cuisine really. Thank you, Karla!!
This was our first time having a private chef cook for our group of cyclists. Karla and her daughter were on time and they cooked a fantastic meal with a salad, a soup and a pumpkin and several entrées appetizers and delicious brownies with ice cream for dessert. She had a lovely attitude. The kitchen was spotless when we finished dinner and I've never had such a great dining experience in a home that we rented, thank you Karla for such a wonderful evening
Karla took our project on last minute for an anniversary lunch celebration. She's was on it immediately, great professionalism and just the sweetest. She created an amazing spread that took us away from the daily chaos to a piece of heaven. Thank you Karla!
Karla created a wonderful meal and experience for my nephews graduation. Her execution was flawless and delicious. I will definitely request her culinary services again!!!
Karla was fantastic to work with. She is so kind and thoughtful! She brought so many special touches to the evening that made it over the top amazing!
Karla and here team were amazing! We had some tricky requests (due to differing dietary restrictions) and this was no problem for Karla! She made the most amazing meal/experience for our mom’s 70th bday! She even made my moms favorite cake that was the best dessert we had all ever had! 10/10 recommend!
Karla has been so wonderful. Our original chef canceled our appointment at the last minute ( on our wedding day) and we have to find a new chef a few hour before our wedding dinner. We contacted Karla and she responded immediately and came up with a dinner plan for us. She prepared a wonderful dinner and made a cake for us. The lobster salad was so tasty and I could not stop eating her steak. I could not thank her more for making us amazing wedding dinner. She is such a responsible and skilled chef. I highly recommended her.
Working with Karla was nothing short of an amazing experience. When I realized I would be unable to get into the country to attend my cousin’s bachelorette party due to COVID-19 complications, I was so sad. I wanted to do something special for her even though I couldn’t be there. Karla treated this bachelorette brunch as if it were for someone in her own family. The girls have all told me it was one of the best tasting and most beautifully done brunches they have ever had. She brought fresh flowers, used fresh herbs from her own organic garden, and in general went above and beyond with her service and menu. I don’t think I could have arranged a more special brunch if I had been there myself. You won’t regret hiring Karla for any of your catering needs. She was a joy to work with from start to finish!
She is wonderful, great food, great staff!! She is just delightful!!! Any catered event, hire Karla!!
