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!

Earlier this summer, I hired Hollywood Desert Catering for a drop off catering job. I originally…read morewanted to hire a private chef to come in and cook but due to the car and parking restrictions of the neighborhood of the rental home we were in, it was not possible. The biggest plus with this company is the prices are extremely affordable. And they are very accommodating to any budget. They were very open to any and all food ideas I had. I had 14 guests to feed, therefore had a few dietary restrictions, but we were able to work around them so that everybody still got to enjoy the food! On my initial call with the company, I was promised a setup with silver chafing trays because I wanted to avoid aluminum, as I was setting up for a formal dinner. I requested a contract specifically asking for this to be in it, which it was not. I also sent a follow up email a few days prior to arrival to confirm that this could happen. I only got a phone call the day before my event that this could not happen. I was disappointed by this. They did explain the situation considering it would be an extra charge and it would require drop off AND pick up. But this was never explained to me in our initial call which is why I was upset. I decided to just let it go. On the evening of our event, all of the food was delivered in the aluminum trays. After drop off, I noticed a part of one of my dishes was missing, therefore I had to call the driver and have him bring the final dish. This delayed our formal dinner by about 45 minutes. In general, the food was actually delicious. Nobody in my group noticed or even cared about any of the mishaps. It was mostly logistical things that bothered me. Every one of my guests really enjoyed the food. The favorite dish was a Braised Shortrib in Cianti Reduction. It was beautifully tender and delicious! I would say for a new company, I understand that drop off catering may not be something that they are used to. I would expect that having the private chef come in and cook would be a much better experience, but nonetheless we really enjoyed the food and the price was extremely affordable.

I recently…read morehired Trevor to cater an 80th birthday champagne brunch, and he, along with his assistant Ethan, exceeded both my expectations and those of my guests. The food was abundant, delicious, and beautifully presented. The variety of choices was exceptional, and the made-to-order omelets were truly a highlight of the event. The wide selection of fresh ingredients allowed everyone to customize their omelet exactly to their liking. One especially thoughtful touch that impressed everyone was that, after placing an omelet order, the hot dish was personally delivered to guests wherever they were seated. Trevor and Ethan arrived promptly at 8:30 a.m. for my 11:00 a.m. party and immediately began preparing everything from scratch. They carefully cleaned and plated fresh fruit, arranged an assortment of breads, and created a stunning brunch display. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and organization made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. At the end of the event, they left my kitchen spotless. My friends were so impressed that several are already planning a BBQ gathering just so we can have Trevor cook for us again!

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

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 :)
