My wife and I heard about Chef John, owner and proprietor of Thymes of the Essence, from a close…read morepersonal friend. We had our son baptized a couple months ago and decided on short notice to host an brunch/open house to celebrate. Unfortunately that left us in a bind to prepare adequate fare for our 20-25 guests. Chef John to the rescue! We let him prepare the menu and then he went over it with us for our approval. Due to the time constraint, we weren't picky. But, if you have a menu in mind he will certainly prepare what you want and make some professional suggestions along the way. What he prepared for us was wonderful! We had a large chicken pesto sandwich with a fresh homemade mayonnaise, a classic egg bake and a gourmet french toast dish. Our guests raved about everything. In fact, most stated it was the nicest baptism open house they'd ever been too! He prepared the brunch with only the freshest ingredients, which is the way it should be. Chef John's services were surprisingly affordable too! Besides paying for the ingredients and food, I believe Chef John worked his magic for only $25/hour. I don't think most personal chefs or catering companies in the area can touch that rate. Just an incredible value! Chef John is Le Cordon Bleu trained so he's no weekend chef that learned how to cook while flipping burgers at Mickey D's. He's the real deal. If you are planning your next shindig and you're looking for a way to class it up without going broke, or if you just don't want the hassle of preparing all the food, give Chef John at Thymes of the Essence a call! You and your guests will not be disappointed!

Well let's just say, I don't give out five stars lightly. Absolutely amazing food and cocktails!!…read moreOf course not everything was perfect, but near to it. To run through the evening courses let's start with the opening app and cocktail. The Chips & Dip, house made seasoned chips with a perfect Blue Cheese dip with caramelized shallots, I suggest ordering an extra cup of the dip as there are an abundance of chips. My first cocktail was perfect or shall we say a "Pear-Fect Manhattan". This play on the Manhattan had a hint of pear and was spirit forward. We continued the evening with two sharable plates, the first was the Tenderloin Steak Bites served with a perfect Wasabi Kimchi Sauce. As tender as it was, the steak could have used more seasoning or being marinated in that delicious sauce. The second sharable was the Chile Seared Shrimp, placed atop delicious Cheesy Grits, very yummy. The evening ended with the most amazing dessert and paired cocktail. By all means, do yourself a favor and indulge in the most decadent Butter Cake drizzled in a Bourbon Caramel Sauce paired with a Amaretto Sour cocktail. You wouldn't necessarily know it, but the White Rabbit nestled in this strip mall sets itself up with the ambiance as a high end establishment.
