From the first phone call, Chef Ty was a pleasure to speak and work with. We spoke several times before the event and he went above and beyond to satisfy all of our event needs. He was on time, the food was served hot and delicious, and he left our kitchen as clean as he found it. THE FOOD - We had four passed around small bites during cocktail hour. It was all absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend the apple and blue-cheese turnovers! I think about them often. The Lamb lollipop was crazy good. The shrimp appetizer was great as well as the mushroom one. Dinner courses were presented so elegantly and tasted as good as they looked. We began with a fabulous pumpkin soup. It was honestly the best pumpkin soup I've ever had. That was followed by a tasty root vegetable salad. We then had Filet Minon over risotto with a demi glaze sauce over it. Wow! It was truly spectacular. I HIGHLY recommend Chef Ty for any special intimate dining experience you are thinking about. Our party was of twenty three people. He made it a wonderful and memorable evening for us. Thank you, Chef!‍ amazing experience!

There are no shortage of great things to say about Chef Josh. We've used him twice now for…read moredifferent celebrations and he has knocked it out of the park each time. In fact, after his latest visit we all agreed we needed to start bringing him in quarterly. Chef's cooking style is best described as transformative. He takes ingredients you'd never dream of being the star of the dish and makes it the most delicious thing you've ever tasted. Our last dinner we reqested to be completely vegetarian and he did not disappoint. Even the non-vegetarian at the dinner was blown away and left being the perfect amount of full. My husband avoids certain veggies in our day to day (texture) and the way Chef Josh cooks - well we've never left a plate bare, I can tell you that much. And when Chef Josh isn't looking.. we may have licked our plates clean. Pickling, crisping, pureeing, caramelizing - everything he puts in front of you "WOWs". Besides the food he serves, which is well worth the money, Josh's service is unparalleled. He is prompt, friendly and wonderful to chat with. He brings everything in and does all clean up as if he was never even there. Whether it's a date night, an intimate gathering or a group to impress - I would recommend hiring Chef Josh 110%. If you're even considering a private chef, look no further because there truly is no better!

He doesn't have a set menu, but sources the ingredients the morning of depending on what looks good and what's in season. We had three or four passed appetizers, a salad course, a grouper / risotto course, and a caramel bar for dessert. Everything was so delicious and all of the guests raved. I have no idea how he was able to cook all of that food for that many people in our home kitchen and make it so flavorful. To keep all of the food at a perfect temperature must have been extremely challenging. Chef Josh was such a cool person also, entertaining, always happy, and so respectful of our home. Thanks so much, Josh. We hope to have you help us out again at our next event.

Each time, Chef Yoann delighted us and all our guests with an exceptional meal that has become a favorite memory.

He carefully crafted each dish and we thoroughly enjoyed the complexity and fine taste of his top-notch French cooking. He paced the courses perfectly, explained each dish beautifully,, cleaned the kitchen when he was done --in short, he cared about every aspect of our experience. His policies and costs were fair and clearly stated upfront, with no hidden charges. Complimentary extras included custom menu cards at each place setting, fresh-from-the-oven homemade baguettes, and a referral, if requested, to a sommelier for wine pairings. It's extraordinary to celebrate like this in the comfort and privacy of your own home. We wholeheartedly recommend Chef Yoann and plan to have him at our house again.

Everything was amazing--especially The Mexican White Shrimp "Gambas Al Ajillo" and the Maple Pecan Bread Pudding, both were off the charts.

She is a very talented chef and her passion for food and presentation makes Lizz a standout. She is extremely professional and organized and prepares a written menu catered to our preferences and dietary restrictions.

I saw a package available on Groupon for a catered four course dinner for 4 people and thought I'd…read moregive this chef a chance. I paid $200 for this dinner, which was supposedly 75% off normal price. By my calculation, that would mean the normal price would be $200 per person and so I thought it should be pretty nice. When I scheduled for my birthday, Ben Root (the chef), gave me two options, chicken or salmon. I asked him how that was an $800 value as the groupon said. This was disappointing to me, but I went ahead and picked the salmon. The week before my birthday, I confirmed with him that we were still all good for the dinner, which I would have expected him to do. He did say we were on for the following week and I was excited to have somebody else cook for my birthday. On the morning of my birthday, he sent an email saying he had to cancel. He also said that he would honor my groupon past the expiration date and we would re-schedule. At this point, it became impossible to reach him and when I did, he never had any dates available. I tried at this point to get a refund for the groupon, but when they contacted the chef, he said he was going to provide me the meal. We finally agreed on a date, which was supposed to be tomorrow night Sept 8. I contacted him a couple days ago to find out, again, if we were all set. I just now received another email canceling on me. I have gotten a refund from groupon. This chef is extremely unreliable and unprofessional, as well as being dishonest with the services he puts out there. If he is going to offer a deal that is an $800 value, he should provide that. My intent was to try him out and then hire him for a larger party in the future. I can guarantee you that I would never hire him.
