She's incredible at working with a picky eater and has gone above and beyond to accommodate very specific nutritional needs without ever making it feel complicated or stressful. She's also just such an easy person to be around--warm, genuine, and truly caring about her clients. You can tell she loves what she does, and it shows in every meal she prepares. Her communication is excellent, her food is always delicious, and she puts so much heart into her work. I can't recommend her enough if you're looking for a personal chef who really listens, adapts, and delivers.

For my birthday,…read morehe prepared a custom four-course meal for my husband and me in our home, and it was truly incredible. To start, he created the most amazing charcuterie board with bacon-wrapped dates, fresh fruit, and a wonderful selection of meats and cheeses. We also enjoyed a delicious caprese salad with buttered toasted baguettes, followed by flavorful chicken masala served with rice, roasted veggies, and naan bread. For dessert, he made my favorite: yellow cake with chocolate frosting, made even more spectacular with fresh whipped cream and berries. Beyond the food, Daniel is so personable and fun--he created a warm, relaxed, and entertaining atmosphere throughout the evening. He even cleaned the kitchen afterwards, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I will never forget this experience, and I can't recommend Chef Daniel enough if you want to make your event truly special!

The freshness, the flavor the uniqueness, and the absolute healthiness of every bite was and is some thing I think about since 2018 lol! I don't know what it was but it was delicious! And this was definitely one of the main things that I think about still from that trip! I was so impressed with the amount of food and the fast preparation it just seems like there is a staff of 20 people. I was just blown away. I can't wait for my friend to use them at her wedding! The unique concoctions and the display and the colors everything was gorgeous! It was like watching art and then getting to eat it! :-)

PHINOM CUISINE's plated catering perfected our farm-to-table wedding this summer!…read more We had a delicious appetizer spread, along with gorgeous yet delectable passed hors d'ouvres. Phinom's servers took the time to craft a special plate for my best friend and her husband as they took pictures after the ceremony; everybody was so moved by this sentimental gesture because there were no special requests prior. The meal itself was TO DIE FOR. We knew we'd found a gem as our Moroccan friends raved non-stop about the authenticity of the flavorful Chicken Tajin! From the beginning, MAYA (their executive chef) was prompt and accommodating, consistently staying on point in every aspect. And even though I was overwhelmed with other Maid of Honor duties, I immediately felt comfortable with YOUSSEF (their event coordinator) taking the reins when it came to all things food- and service-related. From the rentals and the bartenders to the guests with food allergies, everything was handled with grace and ease. I could tell we were in very good hands. Having worked with many caterers throughout the country for a variety of events, I can honestly say PHINOM CUISINE provided the most heavenly delicious food at an exceptional value. I've noticed many caterers will try to tack on sneaky surcharges and bill you after an event, but Phinom is beyond fair and ethical. In fact, they went out of their way to meet our needs and took care of us every step of the way. I'll be recommending them to everybody! FIVE STARS for MAYA and YOUSSEF's mouth-watering food and A+ service!

Mark didn't just cater a meal... he created a completely custom pasta experience that felt personal, thoughtful, and made with genuine care. From the initial conversation, he listened closely to what we envisioned and added special touches that honored our loved one in such a meaningful way. The menu felt intentional, the flavors were absolutely delicious, and everything was prepared beautifully. More than the food (which our guests are still talking about!), it was Mark's heart and professionalism that stood out. He made the entire process seamless and stress-free, allowing our family to focus on being together and remembering someone very special. If you are looking for someone who brings not only culinary talent but compassion and personalization to your event, Pasta Mark is truly exceptional. We are so grateful for the care he poured into making the day as special as it could possibly be.

After a major health setback and a sudden serious surgery in our little family, we came to find…read moreourselves in a predicament. The predicament involved having the joy sucked out of food due to a VERY restricted diet. What does 2 informal foodies do with a new lifestyle that consists of staying under 15 grams of saturated fat per day, under 1500 mg of salt per day (that's under 1 tsp), kicking out cholesterol-high foods like shrimp and red meat and other general un-fun new rules? We looked for help! We ate pretty healthy to begin with...but with so many new rules, we went looking for culinary expertise. I tried meal services but was amazed at how limited those are to diets like Keto that are the exact opposite of what the Cardiologist was telling us to do. Enter in Whole Health Everyday which I found right here on Yelp. Chef Rebecca Club, the owner, spent time with me on the phone and in a short period of time, was able to assess exactly what I needed. She matched us with Chef Robert, a culinary genius that literally brought sunlight back to our dreary diet. On Thursdays, Chef Robert would cook for us for the week, in our kitchen, wearing a mask because of our immunocompromised situation (check with Chef Rebecca if you have this issue b/c not all Chefs will do this) for the whole week. He would make family meals in my own large casserole tupperwares that we could then assemble for breakfast/lunch/dinner. I need a whole paragraph to describe Chef Robert's special dishes. He makes a tray of ground turkey and black bean enchiladas in a verde sauce that will make you cry! He makes egg white bites that are better anything I've ever had before and these are NOT made with heavy cream! I could literally go on and on but maybe I'll just leave you with some of my fave dishes... *Ginger chicken breast bahn mi with jalepenos, picked daikon and carrots *Tilapia tacos with cabbage, pico de gallo, and yogurt crema *Japanese chicken meat balls with sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts *Tuna Poke with mango and avocado served with cucumber slices and low fat/salt chips *Chili con turkey, kidney beans, peppers, avocado and cheese I can only imagine what Chef Robert could do if he could cook with as much salt and fat as he liked! The process for our weekly sessions looked like this: 1) Chef Robert would email us over the weekend with meal suggestions 2) We choose what we want, or ask for more suggestions until we finalize the meals for that week 3) He sends us a shopping list by Tuesday night 4) We order grocery pickup for the things on the list and have everything in our fridge by Thursday morning 5) Chef Robert comes Thursday morning, cooks like crazy (sometimes using the grill outside, our Vitamix etc) 6) Chef Robert shows us where everything is, what sauce goes with what, how to assemble a sushi handroll (yes he would make us sodium light sushi and taught us how to roll it) etc. 7) Chef Robert would clean the kitchen so it looked perfect before he left 8) I would receive an invoice from Whole Health Everyday for that session, it would hit my credit card and I would repeat the next week I really cannot recommend Whole Health Everyday enough. I'd give them 10 stars if I could!
