The menu options were very expansive. I highly recommend Tampa Bay Chef for all your needs. Check them out!!!

This was a birthday gift for my aspiring chef son so he was involved in the whole process. Gabriel was very patient and low key. (No pressure for perfection) this was the most important part of this evening. The great food was icing on the cake!!! We both learned so much- how to butterfly chicken breasts (albeit need lots more practice), make a Caesar dressing, and. Chicken Carbonara. Also learned the importance of the ingredients- type of oil to use, fresh pasta, etc. Wish I had done this years ago for my sons (and me)!!!

Every dish was incredible--from the fried deviled eggs, potstickers, and fried shrimp with goat cheese to the perfectly cooked miso sea bass, wasabi mashed potatoes, and green beans. And to top it all off, a decadent dark chocolate cake with homemade vanilla bean ice cream! Chef Bruno not only prepared everything to perfection, but he also took the time to explain each dish, some of which were his own family recipes. The timing of the meal was flawless, and he left the kitchen even cleaner than when he arrived. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience, I highly recommend Chef Bruno Wu!

We booked Julie to cook us two meals during our recent family reunion in Clearwater. The food was…read moreextremely tasty and well done. She made us Thai one night, and grilled out the next. She also made us a strawberry champagne cake that was devine. Nonetheless, I'm rating her service as three stars because it was extremely expensive for what we got. Also, on the day she grilled for us, there wasn't nearly enough food. We actually ended up ordering in after we devoured what she served. So all in all, all the food was very tasty, but I probably wouldn't go with her again because of the price. Can probably do better from other caterers/chefs.

I am a Mom with 2 toddlers and a new baby. Chef Julie's cooking has been an utter blessing to our…read morefamily! Not only is she a joy to have in our home once a week, intuitively figuring out my kitchen and utensils, she comes in, makes delicious food (gluten free per our request,) and leaves the kitchen spotless! Her food does not only tastes delicious, but she always makes it look extra appetizing! We have used her now for almost 4 months, making 5 meals per week in our kitchen and she is so creative in making new but appealing meals for us grown-ups and the children! I appreciate how savvy of a grocery shopper she is, making use of ingredients we already have and purchasing items on sale, making this arrangement way more budget friendly than I could have imagined! Still, she consistently purchases the better quality meat, seafood and produce as we have requested. Chef Julie is a delight to communicate with, takes feedback very well and is always a delight. We had a very poor experience with a previous chef here in the area, that was quite high maintenance, so we appreciate Chef Julie's food and attitude! Because of her, I am able to spend much more time with my family! Thank you Chef Julie!!

She worked with me to develop a menu for a small in-home dinner party for my husband's birthday, but that was no easy task. We have a 5 year old, people with picky palates AND a Type 1 Diabetic that doesn't eat fat of any kind. Yeah, good luck with that. She developed the most amazing menu with something for everyone - Seared Ahi tuna appetizers that our 5 year old (FIVE!) gobbled up and my "raw fish is disgusting" husband couldn't get enough of. Grilled swordfish so fresh, flavorful and mild that my husband asked "did she seriously go fishing for this today"? A curried asparagus soup that was so good, my super picky adult son noticed there were some leftovers (which she left for us), grabbed the pot and walked away jokingly saying "this is mine and if you try and take it I will fight you". Ok maybe he was only half joking. But the creme brulee. Oh. My. Gosh. I have had it in some of the best restaurants in America and hers, by far is the best I've ever eaten. Like, by a mile. It was unbelievable. She showed up on time, her price was similar to a dinner at a nice restaurant and, best part? My house was seriously cleaner when she left than when she got there. My kitchen was immaculate, all dishes washed, she even does the FLOORS. I just got to enjoy the evening with zero worries. I cannot possibly recommend her more. AMAZING experience from start to finish.

The BEST all-around meal we've EVER had... and we are hard core foodies! Chef Melissa is professional and truly an expert in the kitchen mixing wonderful flavors and textures to make the meal outstanding. Working with Chef Melissa was super easy before we arrived to the island. I communicated with her via email with her responses to all emails easily within the hour. She is VERY attentive to her customers and communicates very clearly her needs and expectations on coming into the home to cook. I cannot wait to hire her again to cook for us the next time we're in the area! You will NOT be disappointed! Trust her and she will create the most exquisite menu around!

I reached out by email and was directed to the company's website. After looking through it, I…read moreshared some constructive feedback because, in my opinion, it didn't seem customer-ready. Instead of being open to the feedback, the response was immediately defensive. When we spoke, I was also surprised by how expensive the pricing was. While everyone is free to charge what they believe their services are worth, customer service should still be professional and welcoming. Unfortunately, I was met with an attitude from the very beginning of our conversation, which made the entire interaction uncomfortable. Because of that experience, I decided not to book. My family has hired private chefs for every vacation we've taken in Florida, and we've always had wonderful experiences. First impressions matter, and this one left me feeling completely turned off before we even had a chance to discuss the menu or the event.

I really don't care for sweet potatoes but I gave them a try and his mashed sweet potatoes with spice was FANTASTIC! I always look forward to what he's going to come up with next! If you're looking to cater an office lunch, event, or even just an intimate dinner at home- I highly recommend The Roasted Fig. They work within any budget and I know they use only top quality products. I also just learned they do meal service plan for the week. I may have to try that!
