Chef Matty provided meals for our three day company retreat, and not only did he come through with…read moresome really good cuisine throughout (don't miss out on his Mediterranean!), he delighted with some really nice surprises along the way (no spoilers here). He also made sure he took good care of the one vegetarian in our crew, as well as being very attentive to some food allergies we had in our group. His pricing was fair, and he was super prompt and flexible. Our comms were a bit hit or miss as we dialed in details a couple months before the event - but once we got to within a week or so, and certainly as we were going through the event, his comms were on point. He provided a bartender on our first night, and that was probably the only place there was room for improvement, as the bartender wasn't very personable, and left without saying goodbye or cleaning up after himself. We'd definitely use Matty again next time we're out in the desert!

The chicken was chicken legs covered with (bottled) BBQ sauce, the baked beans tasted like they were out of a can. the ribs were tough, not fall off the bone good. No clean up, though he said he would be by the next morning to clean up. The chef is a bit crazy....I did not want to write this knowing he could retaliate. If he shows up at my door again, I am calling the police.

We wanted to host an engagement party for 25 people at home with hors d'oeuvres and dessert bites. Upon reaching out, Chef Tonya quickly responded with her full menu offerings and suggested popular items, as well as what she thought would pair well with our "wine night" theme. On the day of the event, we were in awe of how delicious everything was. She's incredibly intuitive and knows exactly when to take initiative too, which we appreciated the most. We didn't need to direct her on where anything was--she simply found what she needed without interrupting the flow of the evening. At the end, she thoughtfully packaged all the leftovers using our Tupperware and Ziploc bags, making it easy to store or send food home with guests. Some of our favorites from the night were the crab cake bites, baked potato bites, lemon bars, and cheesecake bites. All the veggies in the crudité were incredibly fresh too!

This was my first time to hire a caterer, as I usually do all the cooking myself. With my first phone conversation with Chef Tonya, I immediately felt very comfortable that Tine to Dine would do a wonderful job and that the food would be made with love and care. We had a group of 35 guests and chose a menu of small bites. The presentation was beautiful (they even provided a centerpiece!) , there was something for everyone (young children to special diets) and every item was absolutely wonderful! Made from scratch, with good, fresh ingredients. Raves from all our guests! Perfect. My son and his fiancé also used Tine to Dine for their day after wedding brunch. We had the pleasure of a 2nd meal prepared by Chef Tonya and Chef Faye! And all was wonderful again!

The food was incredible - you could tell the freshest ingredients were prepared, with such attention to detail. And while we loved all of the menu items, I have to say the crudites were the surprise hit of the evening. Stephen used the freshest of vegetables, and he pickled them divinely. We literally couldn't stop eating the vegetables (in addition to the rest of the meal). We certainly look forward to working with Stephen again. He has a true passion for his craft, and you can taste it in his food.

It was easy to email, setup what we wanted, and book. Chef was on time, very professional, and made a delicious and impressive meal. Chef and his CDC were great. They came in, assembled the gas grill paella setup (indoors and it worked great, not smokey). His assistant offered to make us all a cocktail with ingredients we had on hand which was really nice. They even brought fancy ice cubes for our drinks. When the paella was ready, chef brought it out for us to see and take photos, it was like art! The paella pan was HUGE for 11 people! We got the just the paella dinner, and it was a lot of food. They served us bread, a salad, and then the paella course. We got the classic seafood paella and it was delicious! SO MUCH seafood. We each got a lobster tail, 2 scallops, clams, mussels, calamari, octopus, shrimp..... it was incredible. The whole night felt like such a great value and the presentation was so impressive. I wouldn't hesitate to have chef William back for any future getaways to Palm Springs!

He brought all of the ingredients and the cooking equipment, occasionally entertained us while the food was cooking, and cleaned up after himself. I mean spotless.

We didn't think we could finish the large dish but I may have had three portions. Definite 5 stars for Chef Ray.

I was dreading a Big Birthday until I discovered Ray of Cooking What You Crave on Instagram who -…read moreexcuse the cliche - turned my frown upside down. I interviewed several private chefs to cook a dinner for 14 and knew almost instantly that Ray was my guy. As the dining table and kitchen are in close proximity, I knew chef would necessarily be part of the evening and I wanted someone whose personality would vibe with our unruly, irreverent, straight/gay tribe of bff's. What was served was superb. The food was yummy, scrumptious, delectable. All the words. And it was a real challenge to devise a menu that accommodated numerous personalities and dislikes. So, rest assured Ray is creative, resourceful and very skilled. But HOW it was served - with gregarious warmth and humor - truly made the evening special. Everyone totally fell in love with Ray and swooned over his culinary offerings. Days later, I was still receiving gushy texts about the food, the chef and the magical atmosphere. Thank you Ray, for helping turn a potentially crappy moment into a lovely, unforgettable one. I will take a little credit for having the common sense to choose you :)

Luckily Mike recommended another chef that is available & I will review her work once we have our event!
