Jason created a fabulous and delightful event, all of our guests raved about the experience. All the planning was done from my home on the east coast--Jason couldn't have made it any easier, with his responsive communication and great menu ideas. He created a fantastic menu, which was only surpassed by the beautiful presentation and delicious food. Everything was amazing--especially The Mexican White Shrimp "Gambas Al Ajillo" and the Maple Pecan Bread Pudding, both were off the charts. Portions were generous and leftovers were meticulously stored to enjoy later! Clean-up was impeccable. I couldn't recommend Flavor Affinity any more enthusiastically, Thanks Jason!

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!

Each time, Chef Yoann delighted us and all our guests with an exceptional meal that has become a favorite memory. Chef arrived hours before serving, with specialized equipment and fresh, high-quaiity ingredients. 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.

We had an intimate dinner party at our friends house and had heard Kak's food, vibe, and experience was next level. We had a 5 course meal, and just when we thought it couldn't get any better it did. Oliver is truly a professional and works wonders in the kitchen. He sources top quality ingredients from local farms, vendors, and farmers markets and will do a wine and beer pairing as well. I highly recommend the cheese plate (unreal and gorgeous presentation) the 'Down in New Orleans' cajun pasta (not heavy at all by the way) And the bread pudding was out of this world. Also, how awesome is it to not clean up afterward?!? We're actually planning on having another dinner party soon and looking forward to switching it up and see what other amazing dishes Kak will deliver. If you're looking for an awesome experience either an intimate dinner, or to totally blow your friends minds- Oliver is your guy!
