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!

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!

Fresh veggies and a homemade pasta as a side. Best part is when he's done, so is all the clean up. I highly recommend him.

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!

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 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 :)
