We were all blown away by the quality, taste and uniqueness of each roll and dish. I just wish we could do this more often! This was the highlight of the trip.

I hired Tim to cater for my dads 80th bday last weekend. Tim worked with me through the entire process beginning to end, making things easier for me. He's so great at returning calls and e-mails. Showed up on time and KNOCKED IT OUT THE PARK!!! It's like I had two wizards in my kitchen that day! They made 4 delicious appetizers they had circulating for the first hour while guests were arriving. I'll include a picture of our entire menu at the end:) I did the seafood paella and the vegetarian one. Both were just phenomenal! Everyone was so wowed by the presentation, beautiful!! They helped with cake service, refilling waters and they cleaned up after themselves very thoroughly. I'm telling my friends and my neighbors, anyone that will listen that this duo is worth every penny! Thank you Chef Tim:)

Chef Tim was the highlight of our son's wedding/elopement celebration party that we had at our home. We had a meeting beforehand to discuss details and plans. This process enabled everything to be stress free. The party went perfectly and Chef Tim and his paella creation was a big topic of discussion among our guests. Everyone said it the best food they ever had at a party. He prepared two kinds (chicken and chorizo and a vegetable version) that were both absolutely divine. Each version of paella had perfectly combined flavors that created an extraordinary compilation in every bite. The guests could also watch him put it all together as all of the food was prepared on site on the day of the party! (Not brought in trays to be heated up!) Wow!!! The flavors were incredible, delicious and beyond words. Chef Tim is a true master chef and gem in our city and his kindness and caring, professionalism and talents and passion will be forever treasured by our family, as he made a very special event the best experience possible. Chef will always be our first choice from now on. We highly, highly recommend Chef Tim!

If you are looking a personal chef experience I HIGHLY recommend this team.

I hired Hey Chef to help with the stress of entertaining up to 36 guests over the Thanksgiving…read moreweek. They were scheduled to serve lunch for 21 and dinner for 36 on Wednesday 11/26, as well as 32 for dinner on Friday 11/28. Wednesday lunch was tasty, however the brioche slider buns per the menu were actually regular Safeway rolls, not brioche. 12 for $6.49! The dessert fell short of anything remotely high level. The brownies on skewers with fruit were dry and fell off the skewers. Wednesday dinner was a disaster. I ordered food for 36 people. We only had 32 including 6 kids, so we should have had plenty. We ran out of asparagas 2/3 of the way thru the line. the platter had enough for 12-15 people. The shrimp - one of the two main courses - ran out as well. I will try to attach a picture of the shrimp before anyone touched it! The photo (pre-serving) looks like there couldn't have been more than 40-50 shrimp. The chef told me he purchased 4-5/person. That would have been 180 shrimp! That was an out and out lie. I ate nothing, as we ran out of food. The owner did tell me afterwards that she looked at the grocery receipt, and he hadn't purchased enough. The dessert was not cake as planned. It appeared to be more of the same brownies, and they were not great. Friday dinner was okay. It was a taco bar. The chef put too much rice in the pot, and it boiled over onto our hardwood floor, rice and all. Then lots of wet garbage was put into the trash compactor, breaking it. The food was tasty and there was enough, but there was nothing high-end about it. Since the event, the owner admitted to me that they had never used the chef before. This was a huge mistake to send out an unknown for 3 large, very expensive meals. There was nothing "gourmet" about his preparation or presentation. Also, the owner admitted to me that the chef knew he was going to be short on dinner on Wednesday. He had a 3 hour break between the two services when he could have purchased more food. We believe that we were grossly overcharged for the chef's time. We were charged over 24 hours for his time alone on Wednesday. The food was supposed to be prepared in our home, but most of it was not. I was not presented with the grocery receipts, so I imagine those could have been inflated. With 21 for lunch, and 32 for both of the dinners, I paid $150/person/meal - over $13,000. And when you consider that one of the meals was a taco bar, the price was outrageous. I hired Hey Chef to ease my stress through the week-long holiday with a lot of guests. Instead, I was embarrassed by the shortcomings and more stressed. I expected the owner to handle these issues more professionally and issue a decent partial refund. I was offered a $300 credit towards a future booking! I am disappointed in Hey Chef for not taking responsibility for failing to come close to our expectations. I would certainly not use their services again, nor would I recommend them.

Not only was everything super delicious, but there was ample food. Everyone was thoroughly satisfied, and we even had enough leftovers for lunch the following day. Chef Meghan pulled off a 5-star meal single-handedly and was the consummate professional throughout. Her kind demeanor and passion for food were evident from the beginning. And she even cleaned up everything she used. Finally, her rates were reasonable and she was accomodating throughout the entire process.

He arrived about 4 hours early to prepare the dishes in the Airbnb kitchen, brought some of his decorations to help make the event special, and was so organized throughout the whole event. Each meal was delicious and carefully crafted. And the clean up afterwards was flawless, the kitchen looked better than it did when we first arrived to the Airbnb!
