Professional all the way. And a thoughtful touch to the tables was they placed a small arrangement of flowers on the service table - I did not ask for flowers, this was their bonus touch, and it was perfect. I've worked with Jennifer for each event. She is gracious, thoughtful, professional, helps with menu selections, responsive - she is the epitome of professional service in the food industry. I hope you give yourself the opportunity to get to know Judd's.

He created a beautifully curated menu featuring a Belgian endive salad with apple, almonds, blue cheese, honey, and mint, a flavorful curried butternut squash soup with coconut milk, pepitas, and chives, a perfectly cooked rosemary and thyme roasted chicken with honey-dijon Brussels sprouts and sweet potato mash, and the most comforting baked apple crumble with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Every dish was absolutely delicious and plated with stunning presentation. Chef Charlie even provided printed menus for each of us, adding such a thoughtful touch. Beyond the food, he was warm, conversational, and engaging--clearly putting intention and heart into every detail. We would definitely use his services again and recommend him without hesitation. A perfect anniversary dinner!

The universe gifted an opportunity for a friends reunion in Orange County, about halfway for…read moreeveryone / home for no one. I had 2 weeks to plan dinner, one guest has food allergies and a couple preferred to NOT dine in public. I rented a house with a nice kitchen (and made sure the owner knew it was for a dinner party), but now I needed a chef. I had many referrals from local friends, but everyone they recommended were either booked or not suited for a small dinner party. With 8 days left, I did what I should have done in the first place and checked Yelp. Mint was highly rated, had excellent reviews, and seemed to do smaller events. I sent an inquiry overnight, explained what I was trying to accomplish -- hire an in-home private chef, to cater dinner for 4, and included the list of food allergies. I woke up to an email from Angela -- it was very courteous, succinct, with an attached 1-pager of pricing AND a of list items to choose in each course (4 courses / 1 item each). Folks: this is how you do business, it make as easy as possible to say yes. Nobody else I communicated with was this responsive, and this easy to work with. The type of cuisine (to me: fresh / farm to table / New American) was what everyone would enjoy, with great options in each course, and their pricing was in-the-ballpark. I replied with my choices, they sent a link to contract and pay by credit card, and we were booked/confirmed in 3 emails spanning a couple hours. [[thank you!]] Menu: * English cucumber topped with blackened shrimp whipped avocado cream cheese & microgreens * Arugula salad with blueberries, avocado goat cheese, lemon honey vinaigrette * Seared Ribeye Strip with shallot peppercorn sauce Lemon roasted broccolini, sweet potato mash * Chocolate flourless cake with fresh whipped cream & berries AND the Salted Caramel banana bread pudding with vanilla ice cream [[life hack: you CAN order 2 deserts, and yes it cost more, and f-yes it was worth it]] Day-of was flawless: Chef Jacyln arrived with everything to prepare dinner, was flexible on timing and service. The guests were drinking and chatting with her while we snacked on the first course. We sat for the salad, which was tasty and a perfect pallet cleanser. I devoured the entree and dug-deep for the self-control to NOT lick the plate. Everyone loved desert, not everyone would have loved either of the deserts, so I was pleased I opted for both (not just because I ate both). Chef Jaclyn was fun to watch and talk to, and did a masterful job of fading when were talking about something else. She made-do with the cookware/plates/etc in the AirBnB, the only thing we lacked were containers to take leftovers home (our fault!). She served us, and cleaned up (spot-less), which I wasn't expecting. The whole experience was 10/10 - I cannot wait to book and host again. Thank you Mint and Chef Jaclyn!

I learned everything I needed to know from cleaning meat to frying techniques. A really great time.

Kerline is a wonderful host, warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing Haitian culture through food. We learned so much throughout the class, and I was surprised by how many new cooking techniques I picked up. I had never learned how to properly clean and prepare chicken the way she taught us, and the final dish turned out incredible. The class was hands-on, engaging, and gave us a deeper appreciation for Haitian cooking and culture. If you're looking for a fun date night, a unique experience, or simply want to learn more about Haitian cuisine, I highly recommend taking one of Kerline's classes. We had a great time and would absolutely do it again!

The communication was great with the entire team: sales rep, the prep team, Chefl, and accounts. My needs were met mostly overall, even though we did over serve way to much food I tried to cut back on, and was told to keep it - it was a per person headcount that matters, I personally did not want to over serve and toss any food in the trash - but they did assure me they would donate it whatever was left and we did have some. They even took liberty to box it all up at the end of the night and pass out what they could. Our two servers during the event were SO nice and helpful. The company set up and tore down so all I had to do was enjoy the event and provide to my team. They served my drinks, kept the food full all for a 4 hour event. They work hand in hand with Santa Monica Picnic Co, which was the set up with chairs and tables to make this event totally amazing on SM beach. The event went so well, and everyone loved it.

For a crazy 50+ person party celebrating my husband's 40th bday, punctuality and professionalism wins because it made my life sooo much easier. I didn't have to worry about the food. They setup and started to cook, it was a super hot day too, at 100+ degrees and they were grilling for 3.5 hours, cranking out them delicious skewers. Now the best part, reviewing the food. It was amazing, all my guest complemented the food and they ate everything, 400 skewers were gone! I even catered other hot food and there wasn't much food leftover. I saw some guest going back for 3rds! I will totally cater from Mr. fresh again, maybe I'll try the sushi next time.

I honestly did not know what to expect when hiring a personal chef for a night. I found Lindsey (Lili Magnolia) via Yelp and chose her services because everything she displayed on her website felt honest. We needed a catered dinner in Topanga, CA for my friend's bachelorette weekend (15 ladies) and Lindsey was the perfect fit. PLANNING - Booked Lindsey about 2 months in advance - Quick to respond (usually within an hour) - Used Honeybook to book her services (e.g. sign contracts, make payments) so it felt safe and secure. - Customizable menu (we had a vegan guest and Lindsey had a bunch of suggestions) - In-tune with how much we wanted to spend per person (no more than $100) DAY OF - Showed up on time w/ her sous chef (our location was quite obscure in the Topanga Hills so we thought the drive was a bit daunting but she and her sous chef handled it like champs!) - She was extremely kind and gave us tips on how to roast vegetables! - Food was beyond delicious and for a party of 15, we did not run out - Flexible to serve the food buffet style or family style, up to us - Did not need instructions around the kitchen or the grill in the backyard (We had rented an Airbnb) MENU (highly recommend) Starters: - marinated roma tomatoes w/ grilled garlic bread - crab cakes w/ romesco sauce - seasonal crudites w/ dip Salads: - rustic whole leaf caesar salad w/ torn croutons & shaved parmesan - zucchini carpaccio w/ arugula salad, shaved parmesan & pine nuts Mains: - classic roast chicken w/ citrus & rosemary - grilled skirt steak w/ chimmichurri - marinated grilled tofu w/ sautéed wild mushrooms (vegan) Sides: - roasted baby carrots - roasted brussel sprouts - classic garlic mashed potatoes All in all, I would highly recommend her services. As weird as this sounds, they blended into the background and did not get in the way of our party for the night. However, they were super caring and gracious enough to bring our dishes to the table when we had inadvertently switched from having it buffet style to family style. On top of that, Lindsey and her sous chef worked quickly and efficiently to put out the food for us. They cleaned up the kitchen and left it nicer than they had found it. In addition, they also wrapped up leftovers and put them right into the fridge for us. (Yes, the leftovers the next day were still delicious) I would definitely book her again if I find myself in the LA area needing a chef.
