He was delightful, told stories of his island life and overall created a dining experience we won't soon forget! Thank you Chef Michael, Cheers!!

We had Chef Cory cook two dinners during our trip to Kauai and they were spectacular! He was very…read moreflexible in the meals and showcased a wide range of cuisines. We opted for Hawaiian / Pan-Asian for our menu and had some the best meals we ever tasted. We had a group of 15 people, 9 grown up foodies and some children who are very picky eaters. He somehow made food that made everyone happy. As a grandpa himself, he knew how to make kids food and wasn't bothered by the little kids running around while he cooked. As a parent of young kids, it was totally worth it compared to the hassles of organizing, transporting, and dealing with everyone going out to a restaurant with 15 people... this was nice and easy. This was our first private chef experience so we didn't know what we were getting into, but he made it very easy for us throughout the process, from meal planning to clean up.. Chef Cory's pricing was similar to the other options on the island and his initial quote was fairly accurate compared to the final invoice. I will definitely hire him again next time I'm in Kauai!

We had a beautiful charcuterie tray with fresh fruits, prosciutto, Parma ham, seasoned cheeses, tapenade, etc. It was as enticing to look at as its lovely flavors were to behold. Additionally Chef Tom prepared a sashimi grade tuna Niçoise salad tray with jammy eggs, seasoned red potatoes, and a myriad of other complimentary items that we drizzled with his amazing dressing. Ooo la la!!! And to top it off desserts that make your eyes roll back into your head! . I'm googling trying to find a way to recreate!

Nadia, along with her staff were prompt, courteous, and very professional. We enjoyed the food so much. Let's just say you can kiss your diet goals out the window, because you won't want to miss out on her yummy creations. Not only did she serve us fantastic meals, she also knew a lot of cool things to do on the island, and has good restaurant recommendations as well. She is in high demand, especially during peak tourist season, so book early! I snatched her up 2 months before our 2 week trip, and there were a lot of sad people left out in the rain to fend for themselves. Cannot express enough how highly I recommend her! 100 bajillion stars plus 1 dinosaur! P.S. - she didn't mind working on the holidays at all ;)
