I reached out to Vanessa for my 30th birthday dinner party and she was amazing from the start!…read moreGreat communication, had a big menu selection, reasonable price, and very accommodating. I didn't feel like it was my first time communicating with her. I needed halal options for my dietary preferences and she was able to find halal steak which not a lot of people will go through the hassle to do. On top of that, she was so pleasant to have around. Her food is better than any restaurant. Her egg rolls and coffee cake is the best thing this planet has to offer, and this is coming from a picky girl whose mom cooks the best food! As a type A person I was worried about many aspects about my birthday but dinner was something I wasn't worried about because of how on top of everything Vanessa was! I got really lucky with her and definitely recommend her!

Adam Small and his team were recommended to us by a family member who also used his services for…read moreher wedding. We could not be happier with the recommendation as the appetizers and entrées were absolutely stunning -- both in flavor and aesthetics! Our biggest difficulty was choosing dishes from his diverse catalog of offerings since they all sounded delicious. He was also very accommodating and made various adjustments to account for particular food allergies that some of our guests had (without compromising on flavor at all). For appetizers, we chose: - Pepper-Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna (Seka Hills EVOO, Sicilian Pesto, Herbs) - Ratatouille Tarts (Puff Pastry, Seka Hills EVOO, Parmigiano Reggiano) - Pistachio Flatbread (Onion, Burrata, Honey, and Chili Oil -- this one was a extra-huge hit with all guests) For dinner, we started with a Local Harvest Salad (Farm Vegetables, Fruit, Vinaigrette, Cheese, and Nuts -- plating was particularly beautiful for the salad), and had three entrée options: - Wagyu New York Steak (Imperial American Wagyu, Roasted Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, Potato Galette, and Red Wine Jus) - Signature Duck (Mary's Crusted Duck Breast, Hind-Quarter Confit, Potato Cake, Charred Vegetables, and Duck Jus) - Roasted Butternut Squash with Cannellini Beans (Charred Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, and Saffron-Rosemary Broth) Throughout our entire wedding and afterwards, guests were telling us how impressed they were and that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! He and his team arrived right on schedule, set up (including silverware and plates) cooked and served outstanding food, provided extremely attentive service, and then cleaned up, leaving the kitchen absolutely spotless (while also deftly navigating a brief power outage!). We cannot recommend Adam Small Cooks highly enough! His food, attention to detail, and service are truly next level. Thank you again for making our wedding so special!

Chef Adam was amazing!!!…read more We celebrated a friend's birthday with 6 people at an Airbnb in Sonoma. We had a six course menu (see below for details) that was excellent! For the vegetarian in the group (me) he was able to whip up a wonderful dish when everyone else was eating halibut. Every single dish was a stand out and the group was so happy with how everything turned out. This was a wish of the birthday girl - to have a private chef and to spend time with her girlfriends. She was blown away by the experience. The 6 course meal included: Fried Baby Artichokes: lemon aioli, herbs, chili oil Flatbread: preserved truffle, pistachios, onion, burrata, honey, chili oil Ash Roasted Beets: kimchi honey, pistachios, ravigote, feta Charred Zucchini Agnolotti: fried sage, brown butter, lemon, pepper, parmigiana Seared Halibut: fennel-potato salad, herbs, haricot vert, preserved truffle champagne sauce Under-Baked Chocolate Cake: Italian meringue, Luxardo cherries, cocoa nibs Also, our kitchen was left spotless! Thanks again Chef Adam for giving us the perfect first day of our trip!

Her energy added so much to the evening. She is professional, warm, and made the whole night feel effortless for us so we could focus on celebrating with my grandmother. If you are looking for a private chef who is talented, creative, and a joy to have in your home, I cannot recommend Linda highly enough. She made our family dinner truly unforgettable!

If you're looking for a five-star chef experience, look no further than Chef Eileen! I found her…read morethrough a Yelp search, and from start to finish, the process was seamless. Eileen was efficient, kind, and incredibly responsive. We connected through Yelp, and before I knew it, we had moved the conversation to text. She was direct yet flexible, open to different styles of cuisine, and worked with me to create a menu that fit my budget. Within just a few hours, I had a tailored menu that blew me away. Her reviews on Yelp already spoke highly of her skills, and I'm here to add to the chorus of praise! The food she prepared for my annual holiday lunch was nothing short of exceptional--fresh, flavorful, and cooked with so much care and love. My family was spoiled with a feast that left everyone raving! Not only was the meal unforgettable, but there were also plenty of leftovers. Everyone packed up extras for their lunch and dinner, and I personally enjoyed the deliciousness for two more days. Chef Eileen delivered a menu for 12 that exceeded all expectations, and she's local and willing to deliver--an added bonus! I will absolutely be calling her again and encourage you to do the same. Don't hesitate--she's a gem! Everything was so good I forgot to take pics!!!

We ordered the waffle churros with added fried chicken ($19). It was really good though i wish the waffle was a bit crispier on the outside. The syrup was very thick like honey! We also ordered the breakfast burrito with avocado and chorizo (added cost so it became $20). I really liked the chorizo, they grilled it so it was a tad crisp, and loved that it wasn't very salty. We also ordered the meat (chicken) handmade pie. The filling was generous, the crust though i wish it was a bit more flaky and crisp. This was just ok. Their latte and chairs latte were good too. Food came out about 15+ minutes after we placed the order. Restroom was reasonably clean and overall ambiance and decor of the eatery were inviting.

Outstanding. You…read moreknow how really good food helps make for a good party? Or how sub par food can take away from it? That's why it's so important to get this guy. Fred does it all. And he does it well. Dude did his time cooking in Vegas, so he knows a ton of flavor profiles for dishes, sauces, and some secret combinations he has yet to share with yours truly. And I've been fortunate to be at enough events to tell he can flat out cook. Period. He's perfected this chimichurri blend that has the consistency and look of pesto, has this wonderfully garlic flavor, and really gives whatever carne asada dish he's making zing. I'm seriously hoping he starts to bottle it one day; otherwise, it may accidentally disappear from his cooking station next time I see him (did I just incriminate myself? oh well, worth it). Try the taco trio - good sampling of the well marinated proteins and complimentary sauces. Rinse with beverage of choice. Repeat.

PLEASE SEE ALL SCREEN SHOTS AFTER READING!!!…read more I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. I had a trip planned and needed a meal prep service, so I decided to give Spicy Girl Meal Prep a try. Despite seeing some negative reviews, I thought it couldn't be that bad. Unfortunately, my experience was a total disappointment. I paid $205 for the service to be delivered and was very clear about when I needed the food by. However, the food was never delivered, and I was given the runaround when I tried to contact the company. They claimed that the food was not delivered because of the holiday, which was unacceptable. When I finally got a response from them, an assistant named Dana texted me to say that they were closed that day. This was after I had called repeatedly and left several messages. It was clear that they had no intention of delivering the food. At this point, I had to come up with another solution for my meal prep needs, which was a huge inconvenience. My wife called the company from a different phone number and was told that we would receive a refund. However, we never received any refund despite reaching out to them through email. In the end, I had to dispute the entire process with Venmo to get my money back. Overall, I had a terrible experience with Spicy Girl Meal Prep, and I would advise anyone to stay away from them. They are unprofessional, unreliable, and clearly do not care about their customers. Update: I find it outrageous that I had to resort to contacting several mutual friends on Instagram just to reach her. Finally, one of her friends came forward and told me that she had mentioned my experience to Jade. I was very clear with her that Jade was lying about the situation, and that I intended to leave a review about it a year later. It's interesting that Jade has just reached out to me with an invitation to have lunch and fix the situation, which seems shady and as if she's trying to cover herself. The truth is, she should have done this a year ago when I had a terrible experience.
