Chef Janice is amazing! She prepared two dinners for us at our Poipu house rental for 8 adults and…read moretwo toddlers. She uses fresh local ingredients with a style that is bold in her use of spices and herbs, many of which come from her garden. Our first night we selected off of her Hawaiian Pacific menu, starting with her Ahi Bruschetta with an avocado mouse and her Purple Sweet Potato galettes, then a Farm Fresh Salad to lead into the entrees of Steak and MahiMahi with grilled veggies and an amazing Cauliflower done two ways. Matcha Brownies with Haupia ice cream and a black salt sprinkle brought it all home! The following dinner stepped the flavors even more over the top as we enjoyed her Mediterranean menu. We started with an incredible Mezzo platter including delicious hummus and the freshest, most flavorful feta I have ever had. The menu progressed to include a beautiful salt crusted Red Snapper (see Pix) and concluded with an awesome Strawberry Rose Coconut Cheesecake. Our family has a wide range of tastes and includes some serious foodies (two live in San Francisco and dine out multiple times a week) and all were blown away. Her portions are also very generous, so we enjoyed a full leftover meal the following days. I heartily recommend Farm Cook Kauai for an incredible personal chef dining experience!

We hired Chef Allen for my father's 70th birthday celebration in Kauai, and it was truly the…read morehighlight of our trip. From the very beginning, Chef Allen was incredibly communicative and went above and beyond to craft a menu that perfectly suited our family. The food was phenomenal--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented--but what made the night extra special was Allen himself. He is a joy to be around and fit in so naturally with our family that it felt like having a friend in the kitchen. My dad even told us afterwards that the evening was a 'core memory' for him. If you are looking for a private chef who brings both world-class talent and wonderful energy into your home, I cannot recommend Conscious Cooks enough!

Chef Allen prepared the most delicious dinner for our family on our recent trip to Kauai…read more Everything was spectacular. He was very respectful of the property we rented, including wearing gloves for sanitizing, and cleaning up after himself, including running the dishwasher at the end. While cooking, he shared many beautiful stories about the island and his adventures, was able to provide recommendations, and is very knowledgeable about Kauai. The evening was more than just great food, but true entertainment as well which we really enjoyed. Our toddler really enjoyed interacting with him as well. We customized our menu in advance and everything came out perfect! Surf and turf, seafood paella, shrimp spring rolls, bruschetta, salad, and amazing assortment of desserts. I loved that absolutely everything was locally grown, and bought from local stores. I can't say enough good things about this experience. Allen was very efficient and a true joy to have in our rented condo for our family vacation. We will absolutely hire Allen again next time we are on the island. Mahalo!

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!

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.

The menu offers Greek specialties, pasta, a mix of continental entrees, & a variety of sandwiches. I had the skordalia appetizer, which comes with a generous helping of this wonderful potato-garlic dip served with pita bread & garnished with Kalamata olives & pepperocini. Consulting with my friendly server Chloe, I decided on moussaka, a beef, eggplant & potato casserole with both a tomato-based sauce & a bechemel topping. It was even better in leftover form! The portion was large, & the flavors & textures married well. Each element was distinguished, & not mushy at all. Fresh-baked bread is served when you sit down. The decor is inviting & invokes the blue themes seen so often in Greece. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is lack of liquor options. Call ahead & see if they mind if you bring your own. I didn't think of that ahead of time. Good wishes to this establishment.

We worked together to come up with the perfect menu for our event, Chef Andrew was able to accommodate all of our requests. On the day of the dinner Chef Andrew showed up on time and ready to go and put together a phenomenal four course meal for us. Each course seemed better than the last and we loved that the chef told us about each dish as they served them to us. Chef Andrew had a helper that was very attentive and kept our waters and wines full for the whole meal. Appetizer, a pork gyoza to die for, salad of tomatoes and this red pepper sauce that I will remember for years to come was only transcended by the wagyu beef entree with a carrot puree. Desert of mango ice cream was the perfect ending for an amazing meal. And after it was all said and done, they had done all of the dishes and left the kitchen cleaner than how it started! Give Chef Andrew and the Sandy's Supper Club a try and it will truly be a night to remember.
