Ana was amazing! I had an early flight and she had exceptional service and attitude! She was beyond kind and I'm grateful for my experience!

Overall using Chef Adair to cater our wedding reception was a positive experience. Especially since we used them without ever tasting their food! We chose the drop-off option as we were trying to keep our budget as low as possible, which they were quite agreeable with and the food was of good quality. The only issue was a change in the delivery time (which was initiated by them) to an earlier time on the day of the event which caused us to have them deliver the food cold rather than pre-heated - since it was going to be 2 hours before the start of the event. I'll say this added to my already high stress levels but luckily I had people that were ready to help with heating and setup. Another thing I'll mention is we relied on their expertise with how much of each dish to supply. One thing that guests mentioned is that there wasn't near enough of the prawns. Additionally there was a ton of bread and Coq Au Vin left over. Again, this was Overall a good experience and I would recommend them to a friend. I'd just mention the delivery change as well as potential portion size adjustments. read more

Coursing, service just OK. Made a mess of my kitchen. Still finding tempura batter stains on my kitchen cabinets across the last 5 years.

I hired the Chef Adair team for a private 3-course dinner for my bachelorette. We had chef Ryan who exceeded our expectations. Then menu consisted of 1) Comte & Parmesan Cheese Tartelette with Citrus Salad & Crispy Prosciutto, 2) Cabernet Flank Steak Chimichurri & Wild Mushroom, and 3) Flourless Chocolate Torte. All incredibly delicious and beautifully presented. The dinner service in itself was elegant and professionally done. We opted in for breakfast the next day which was fresh fruit, bacon & sausage, a vegetable frittata, breakfast potatoes, and croissants- all fresh and easy to reheat. Food, service, presentation, 10/10!!!! read more

It was such a pleasure to be able to hire Chef Adair's chef and server on our recent trip to Sonoma/Glen Ellen. I'll start by saying the put together two perfect menus for our two nights. The Humboldt fog cheese in the meat and cheese board was outstanding and I still dream about the pickled grapes. The main courses were exactly what they said and beyond delicious. Filet cooked perfectly and the tastiest chicken I have had in a very long time. The desserts were to die for! All ten of us agreed that the flourless chocolate dessert was the best ever!!! The chef was so nice. Both were very professional. I would recommend Chef Adair to anyone heading to wine country. read more

We recently celebrated my partner's 30th birthday at a beautiful rental in Santa Rosa and wanted to make it as personally special as possible. I googled private chefs in the area and Chef Adair was always the highest rated. I reached out about a month before the event and my contact, Shannon, took care of me in the very best way! All my questions were immediately and thoroughly answered. The last thing on my mind in all the prep for a big party weekend was this dinner for my love and her friends. The communication was easy and transparent and when the big day came, Chef Michael was incredible and our server Eric, the icing on the cake. It was a meal and evening to be remembered and we can't wait to find an opportunity to have Chef Adair at another event! 10/10. read more

What an incredible experience we had with Chef Adair! I was searching for a great private chef to cater dinner for my mum's 50th birthday at the house we were renting in Sonoma. As I always do when searching for a vendor or service, I narrowed it down to the three best and contacted them all. From the start, Chef Adair separated himself from the others with his warm, friendly communication. Pair that with the great reviews and delicious menus on his website, and we were sold! I worked with Chef Adair on the perfect set up for our small group of 7 and exactly what we were looking for. He made great suggestions and was ready to take care of everything we needed. As time moved on, we worked on creating the perfect menu for the evening (incorporating a number of picky eaters' palates!) Chef Adar was more than accommodating (even down to cooking the meat perfectly to temp for each person at the table despite it being a single piece of meat that should have been one temp - thank you!!) On the day of the event, Chef Adair showed up with his sous chef at around 5pm to start prepping for a first course at 7:30pm. He was so well prepared and brought everything with him so that he wouldn't be caught short if the kitchen was missing something. This was definitely a well oiled machine, nothing was left to chance. As we relaxed in the garden, we began to smell the most delicious scents coming from the kitchen as Chef prepared the meal - we were so excited! Chef Adair had a server come at 6:30pm who set the table and began pouring wine for the guests. When we sat down for dinner, we were not disappointed! Each course was seasoned and cooked to perfection and Chef Adair took the time to describe exactly what we were about to eat. All four courses were delicious (I am getting hungry just thinking about it all again!) and all of the guests were full and happy by the end. We had ordered our own birthday cake, but Chef Adair cut it for us and served us as the final course. Aside from being a great chef, Chef Adair truly seemed to be enjoying himself and his fun loving spirit was infectious and kept us all smiling and laughing. After dinner, Chef Adair and his team cleaned up the kitchen and left it even cleaner than when they had started!! If I am in Sonoma again for a special event, I will definitely be booking Chef Adair again and I will be recommending him to all of my friends and family! read more

We hired Chef Adair for my 70th birthday dinner at a VRBO in Sonoma for ten adults and three children. Katherine was very helpful in talking over the menu as we have several fussy eaters In our family. Chef Nancy and Katherine arrived timely and took care of everything. We had them bring the dinnerware and glassware, which was worth the extra cost. We had four courses - the stuffed artichoke (unique and delicious!), salad, sea bass with mousseline, and pork tenderloin with mushroom duxelles wrapped in prosciutto with mustard cream sauce. The dinner was fabulous! read more

With our 3rd wedding date, we found Chef Adair a month before our wedding! We didn't have a tasting with him prior but had heard nothing but great things from our wedding planner, CMG Events. Before our wedding Chef Adair had us choose a selection of meals from his menus that we wanted to try - then he put together a special menu for us based on what is in season and that appealed to our palate! Chef Adair was open to feedback and ultimately he created the best 5 course meal we could have ever had! During our wedding dinner, he came out and introduced each course and gave us a background on how it was cooked. Everything was absolutely delicious!!! Chef Adair not only did our wedding dinner, but also our rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, breakfast and lunch for the day. Highly recommend!!!! read more
