Most of the dinner is all prepped and he just finishes up the cooking in your kitchen. Very professional and great, fresh tasting food. We had two appetizers that were so good.

Fresh veggies and a homemade pasta as a side. Best part is when he's done, so is all the clean up. I highly recommend him.

Three days before our last dinner she sent an invoice which now she added a New line item of 22% gratuity. She asked my husband for the last invoiced to be paid within 1/2 hour of getting here. We had 8 guest and my husband said we will Zelle you or Venmo or PayPal on the tip, after we go over all of the invoices, she said No and I will not leave until I get it and went and sat at the barstool until we paid her 22 % nonnegotiable .

The meal began with two appetizers--hamachi crudo (melt-in-your-mouth fresh) and bacon-wrapped asparagus (perfect savory flavor). The broccoli cheddar soup was rich and creamy followed by a panzanella salad. The highlight of the evening was the 8oz filet mignon, cooked to absolute perfection--tender and juicy. To end the night, we indulged in a crème brûlée. I had never done anything like this before, and my now-husband and our family have been raving about the food and experience. If you're looking for a private chef who delivers above-and-beyond service, do not hesitate to book this team. They truly made our wedding day unforgettable!
