We hired Alyssa to prepare dinner for a birthday celebration at Lake Anna during a Girl's Weekend. Alyssa was responsive and flexible during the planning process and the dinner she prepared was amazing. We are still raving about the experience. I highly recommend!

Alyssa is very talented and works hard. We appreciated all the diverse meals she has made for us and had no problem accommodating any of our food preferences.

Had a great experience working with Sol Ma Chef. She helped me design a perfect meal for my Mom's 88th birthday focusing on local seafood options. The chef did a great job communicating before and on the day of the event. The food was amazing and the chef answered lots of questions as she was preparing the meal. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Alyssa did an amazing job catering our bachelorette party at my lake house at Lake Anna! She came to the house, made a DELICIOUS meal, served us down on the dock, and left the kitchen spotless before she left. Working with Alyssa was super easy because she was very responsive, she made sure to ask about allergies/dislikes, and even made the menu to the theme of our bach party. She is super nice, very professional and just cute as a button. 10/10 would recommend her. We are even going to add her as a referral to our renters at the lake house.

Alyssa has been our family chef for a month and we are very pleased with everything. We will continue to work with her and highly recommend her for future families.

Alyssa service and quality of work is outstanding. The dishes she has made are comparable to a 5 star Michelin restaurant. I look forward every week to her preparing the meals on her menu. If I could I would give her a 10 star review

Alyssa catered a 50th anniversary dinner for my family and did an amazing job. She asked lots of questions to come up with a menu and made it special for all of us. She was very cognizant of food allergies and diet restrictions. The kitchen we provided was limited but she prepared an incredible dinner despite those limitations. Highly recommend!

Alyssa did an INCREDIBLE job! Hire her immediately for your next catered event! She made a delicious 3 course meal for my girl and I this past Valentine’s Day. Everything was meticulously prepared. Her willingness to work within dietary restrictions, her professionalism, the level of responsiveness she provided, and sheer culinary talent absolutely blew me away. Not to mention the cost was little more than going out to eat at a nice restaurant! She made the evening very special for us and I would definitely hire her again.

Alyssa could not have been any more perfect! She was flexible, affordable and the food was delicious. This was our first time hiring a chef for our home and we will absolutely use Alyssa again. Thank you for making my wife’s birthday special!

We hired Alyssa as a private chef for a birthday celebration at an AirBnB at Smith Mountain Lake, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. From the beginning, she was extremely communicative and flexible, making it easy to choose menu options that worked perfectly for our group. The food was fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. She made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal together without interruptions. Having her prepare a meal for us truly elevated the celebration, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a special, stress-free dining experience.
