Robert was fabulous! So easy to work with, gave me plenty of options to choose from for my birthday dinner! Was prepared with plates and service-wear for the Airbnb. Food was delicious, seasoned perfectly. All flavors fit together so nicely! Couldn’t have asked for more!

Chef Robert did an incredible job for my bachelorette dinner at an Airbnb my group was staying at. When other plans fell through with a different chef, Robert got right back to me and stepped up for our occasion! He was expeditious with his response time and always exhibited a high level of professionalism. The dinner he prepared for us was phenomenal and one of the highlights of the trip! He went the extra mile and cleaned up the kitchen once he had completed our meal and dessert as well. If you are in the area and want a fantastic dinner prepared with creativity and care, I would look to hiring chef Robert!
We hired chef Robert for a special Birthday celebration dinner and his food was amazing! We loved the extra touches such as individual printed menus and his table setting! It was our first time hiring a private chef and the whole experience was so memorable. We highly recommend Robert for your next special occasion.
Chef Robert was incredibly responsive from the start and asked all of the right questions to truly bring my vision to life. From creating custom menus to seamlessly accommodating last minute changes, every detail was handled with excellence. He and his wife make an outstanding team!
I worked with Robert via email. He provided a gift card for my sister in Colorado. And is setting up the dinner directly with Robert

“Chef Rob” was the man! He brought just about everything with him. Conversed with us on just about anything. Great professionalism and great service. Will be using agin.
Robert was fantastic to work with! Great communication, gave us great recommendations on menu, an overall great experience. We were in a rental and weren't sure what materials would be available and he was able to put everything together beautifully. The food was incredible and beautifully plated. We would definitely use Robert again!
