Truly excellent dinner - food was exquisite, presentation was first rate. Would highly recommend for any private party

We had the absolute pleasure of having Chef Bruno Wu cook for us in our home, and it was quite possibly the best meal I have ever had! Every dish was incredible--from the fried deviled eggs, potstickers, and fried shrimp with goat cheese to the perfectly cooked miso sea bass, wasabi mashed potatoes, and green beans. And to top it all off, a decadent dark chocolate cake with homemade vanilla bean ice cream! Chef Bruno not only prepared everything to perfection, but he also took the time to explain each dish, some of which were his own family recipes. The timing of the meal was flawless, and he left the kitchen even cleaner than when he arrived. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience, I highly recommend Chef Bruno Wu! read more

Chef Bruno is fantastic. exceptional chef. on time. prepared. gracious. cleans up before leaving! great dude.

Chef Bruno was the highlight of our group vacation in Siesta Key, Florida! He prepared a beautiful dinner for a large group of friends and family, and each course was absolutely mouthwatering. We enjoyed light bites followed by a three-course meal that was out of this world. Chef Bruno was extremely professional and was able to accommodate some last-minute additions we had. Even our youngest guest at two years old was raving over the food. 10/10 recommend hiring Chef Bruno for your next event, family gathering or special occasion. You won't be disappointed. read more

We hired Chef Bruno for a special family dinner during our vacation in Siesta Key, Florida, and he truly delivered a gourmet experience. The food was fabulous, the presentation was beautiful, and everything he prepared was absolutely delicious. From the very beginning, Chef Bruno made the entire process effortless. During the planning stages, he asked thoughtful questions about our family -- their likes, dislikes, and what we were in the mood for -- and then crafted a fresh, perfectly balanced menu. His selection of appetizers, salads, mains, and desserts satisfied everyone at the table. He visited Walt's Seafood that morning to pick up the freshest fish for our entrée and ceviche, both of which were huge hits. Every side dish and every sauce complemented the meal beautifully, making each course feel complete and memorable. To top it all off, the kitchen was cleaner when he left than when he arrived. Chef Bruno didn't just cook us dinner -- he created an unforgettable experience for our family. read more

Chef Bruno was absolutely excellent! He put on an amazing Italian dinner for us in Anna Maria Island for my future sister-in-law's bachelorette weekend!

Not only was the food amazing, but Chef Bruno was very engaging with us teaching us his different cooking techniques and sharing with us about his own journey in cooking. We loved it! read more

Chef Bruno cooked for 14 of us while on vacation in AMI. We had the miso grouper and sous vide filet with leek risotto and asparagus as our main course. It was incredible! We started with scallops and kimchi deviled eggs. They were also incredible! And I am a big scallops person-- these were delicious. This is the second time we've used Chef Bruno and we were just as pleased the second time, as we were the first! He left the kitchen cleaner than he found it and brings everything he needs. He is extremely customer focused and creates a personalized menu for you and your guests. This time we did a family style serving instead of a plated dinner to make it a little more affordable. I cannot say enough positive things about Chef Bruno and our two wonderful experiences with him! read more

Bruno and his amazing meal were such a highlight of our trip. Prior to booking, he did a great job of communicating with us and worked with us to create a special menu for my husband's birthday. A few members of our group were really interested in the whole process of how he created his dishes and he made sure to let us in on his process. I would highly recommend in the future and honestly I'd go back to Sarasota just for Bruno's cooking! read more

Wow, what an amazing night. The perfect chef. Chef Bruno is a must hire. The experience is like no other. I will hire Chef Bruno with out question. I look forward to our next experience. read more

Chef Bruno served up an amazing meal for our family of 7 for my husbands 40th birthday while we were renting a house in Anna Maria Island. He was on time, served each course shortly after the next, and needless to say, everything tasted amazing. I recommend Bruno 10/10. read more

Our family hired Bruno for a very intimate wedding dinner. He was extremely responsive to emails, our requests and the very short timeframe we had to plan and execute the event. He was easy to work with, understanding and planning a menu around adventurous eaters as well as extremely picky eaters. Every aspect of the dinner was a 5 star experience. From the table scape, meal and dessert it felt like the very best experience for the entire family. The food was so so so good. We opted for a more comfort focused menu and the entire party stuffed themselves with all the items (and the rolls! Oh my gosh those Parker house rolls!!). There wasn't a single moment of the entire dining experience that wasn't perfection. We cannot recommend him enough. He truly was worth the money it was an experience we will never forget. If your on the fence, just book him already! Also get the rolls. Oh those buttery, salty rolls. I wish I had taken photos of the food but we could not wait to eat it. When we return to Siesta Key we will absolutely book Bruno again. You are worth having this dining experience once in your life! (I'm hoping for it to happen at least twice!) read more

We hired Chef Wu to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary and it did not disappoint. We had a fantastic experience. The menu planning was a breeze and the day of experience was second to none.

My wife and I recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of our we meeting. We decided it would we would be better off celebrating that anniversary than waiting for 50th wedding anniversary as we might be too old to remember it ! Nonetheless, a friend recommended Chef Bruno Wu l to cook and prepare a special dinner for 14 of our closest friends. He and my wife worked out the menu, and from there it was quite a journey. I must say that he arrived on time at 1:30 in the afternoon, with a truck containing extra tables, chairs, plates, silverware etc. so we could enjoy our dinner outside in warm the weather. From that point on, we left him alone while he toiled in our kitchen nonstop for almost 9 hours. He made fresh focaccia for our before dinner cocktails and other appetizers we had ordered, including one of his signature dishes, deep fired "Deviled Eggs" with Kimchee... very special and outstanding! The Filet roast entrée, vegetables, pasta side dishes, as well as his dessert were all freshly prepared and over-the-top. I can't tell you how much we not only enjoyed this food, but also his warm and engaging personality. After our final guests had left, Mr. Wu t packed up everything and left as if he had never been there. It was on an amazing experience. We won't hesitate to hire him again. If you're having a private dinner for small group of people, I can't imagine a better Chef to prepare your feast at a reasonable price and outstanding quality. read more

We had Chef Bruno come to our beach house in Anna Maria island to cook for my husband's birthday, which also happened to be Superbowl Sunday. It was AMAZING. He was super easy to communicate with beforehand and gave me lots of options to cater specifically to what our group liked. The food was all so so delicious and it couldn't have gone any better. He was also kind enough to bring us extra trash bags when I realized our rental hadn't left any. He cleans up after and leaves the kitchen spotless. I highly recommend him. Writing this review has made me crave his deviled eggs and the shrimp dynamite!! read more

Hiring Chef Bruno was amazing! From the start we we're looking at a few Chef's however it was Chef Bruno's amazing service level that set him apart from everyone else and made him an easy choice for our event. Chef Bruno was so helpful at putting a menu together for us that went above and beyond our expectations, he answered a million questions and easily put any worries I had to rest. Bruno showed up early, set up, and immediately started to make the party goers go WOW each time they tried a dish Bruno put out. All night everyone came up to me and expressed how much they loved every single dish that was put out and everyone wanted to know WHERE DID WE FIND CHEF BRUNO! The food was phenomenal, everything was catered to our taste and modified to perfection. Did I mention that Bruno even put a signature cocktail together for all of our guest. 5 star service while remaining very down to earth and wonderful to be around. I've already had 3 people from the party ask me for Bruno's contact information, I would hire Bruno again in a second! read more

I recently had the pleasure of booking Chef Bruno for my grooms dinner. Chef is Chinese & Brazilian and it's clear that he's spent years honing fusion flavor profiles while simultaneously staying true to regional ethnic traditions. He was attentive, professional and his team were a huge help across the board. Punctuality and timing are paramount in the food industry and he has these qualities in spades. Our menu included: Fresh fish ceviche on tostados Heart of palm salad with fried shallots and pickled onions Freshly baked dinner rolls Roasted asparagus with oregano and lemon Roasted rosemary baby potatoes Moqueca de Peixe - Brazilian fish stew with coconut milk and palm oil (side of rice) Beef Tenderloin - Sous vide medium rare, seared finish and carved on site Expectations were high and Chef exceeded all of these. Everyone who was lucky enough to taste his cuisine that night were in agreement that it was one of the best meals we've had in quite some time. Thank you Chef Bruno! read more

We hired Chef Bruno for a small birthday dinner and loved every bite! He curated our menu, mixed a pre-dinner cocktail & hooked us up with his mother-in-law's baking business for the cake; which was equally amazing. He was super organized, a great communicator and everything was really cohesive & delicious. And as a bonus he left our kitchen cleaner than when he found it! Would absolutely enlist his services in the future. read more

Chef Bruno entertained and prepared a very vividly imagined meal for 11 of us. Both the filet and grouper were fantastic. I was a bit apprehensive about wasabi mashed potatoes but the flavor was delicately balanced and complimented the steak and the fish. The shrimp dynamite was a winner.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Chef Bruno for several years. I have always known him to be cordial, kind and multi-talented. As a chef, Bruno does not disappoint. He brings his immense and varied culinary knowledge to whatever event you are hosting. We hired him for an intimate five-course dinner with my family (and two small children) and he knocked it out of the park. Take a look at his website and you will find something that satisfies the tastes, preferences and restrictions of your guests. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a unique culinary experience in the comfort of your own home or venue. He brought all his own equipment and cleaned up afterwards. Thanks Bruno! read more

He cooked us the most beautiful and creative meal. I had grouper three times after his and nothing could come close to comparing. He also prepared an assortment of breakfast and lunch grab'n'go options for us that made our stay so easy. Thank you Bruno! read more

Chef Bruno prepared a fantastic meal (and experience) for a birthday celebration at the beach. On the front end he was communicative and flexible and we agreed to a menu a few days before the event. We had a vegetarian in the group and her meal was anything but an afterthought - she loved it all (for example, one hors d'oeuvre was a spicy tuna tartar tostado and he made a vegetarian version with tomatoes that looked just like the tuna). We enjoyed a delicious meal, including surf and turf with an Asian twist and a specialty cocktail. Bruno was professional, fun and friendly and knew how to read the crowd. I will absolutely use his services again and can't recommend him enough - the price was more than fair given the planning, service, quality of ingredients and preparation and the overall experience. read more

Bruno made a fantastic dinner for my family of 18 to celebrate my dad's 100th birthday. Everyone was delighted with the food - vegetarians, pescatarians, omnivores, and even little kids. On top of that, he and his team blended in perfectly and we considered them part of the celebration. The next time we're in town for a big celebration (101?) I won't hesitate to have Bruno create us another memorable event. And here's a tip: get the focaccia. read more
