From the first few emails I knew that Josh was going to be great to work with. He listened to all of my ideas and together we came up with a delicious menu. He had so many amazing dishes as inspiration and really created the perfect menu for me and my guests. Josh answered all of my emails promptly and with such a kind attitude. We all absolutely loved the amazing food and the entire experience! Honestly, everyone was talking about it for days afterward. It was such a unique experience for each of us. None of us have ever been treated to such a special meal in a private home. There were many great comments about each course but the Oregon Mushroom Soup was the favorite for many! My sister doesn't usually like mushrooms but convinced herself to try the soup and then decided it was her favorite course ~ of course she loved everything else too. Josh and his assistant India were just so pleasant and approachable. That made a huge difference to the experience. We loved having both of them in our home. And... they cleaned everything up! I'm very particular about my kitchen and they didn't disappoint in that respect either. I could go on and on but really just want to say that Josh exceeded all expectations. We hope to have another occasion to work with him in our home.

Her personality and communication is just as perfect as her dishes. Thanks for such a great experience.

I asked for a New Orleans-flavored menu of beef, chicken, corn-on-cob, fruit salad, coleslaw and shrimp skewers and man did he deliver. Everything was fresh, heated or cooled as needed, cooked just the way I asked. One of my guests from NOLA brags about his bbq and smoker skills and he wanted Chef Ceejay's contact info/business card for a future event he's planning. At my request, I met him at Cason's Fine Meats and paid cash for the food +$ and saw the high quality of protein he chose and met the fine staff there. The balance was paid on delivery. Next time, if he asks, I'll use VenMo. He can use me as reference. Larry C.

Brittany and the two bartenders were professional, kind, and worked together as a team to take care of everything - table settings, bar setup, taking orders, cleaning, taking the garbage out, etc! Our guests had a lovely time, and we were able to enjoy it with them. Everything was easy, I really appreciated that. The meal and the presentation, were absolute perfection.

It began with a personalized menu based on our preferences and ideas, tasted at their home in Ridgefield. We were immediately impressed with their responsiveness, creativity, and the focus on fresh, quality ingredients. During the wedding planning process, Dyann was helpful and friendly, offering to do many of the day-of tasks that I needed at a somewhat DIY venue. She put me at ease as she was very knowledgeable about timelines, flow, and keeping everything beautiful. They made it easier, providing table cloths and other materials, so we didn't have to search out as many bits and pieces for a single use. On the day of, everything ran perfectly smoothly. The food was beautiful, and many of our guests mentioned it was the best wedding food they'd ever had! The attention to detail demonstrated a care and thoughtfulness that belies their passion for their business. The menu included smoked salmon, beer-braised short ribs, and beautiful salads and sides. At one point, I noticed that the bubble wands I'd brought never made it to tables, and I commented on it as I walked into the house. I came out perhaps ten minutes later, and what magically appeared? Bubbles! Dyann heard me mention it and kindly took care of it! I recommend them without hesitation.
