From the moment we began planning to the moment we finished dessert, Mike and his team were an absolute joy to work with. First Mike showed his patience with me, a picky foodie who had some food allergies to worry about for certain guests, but nothing was an obstacle for him. Totally flexible and very accommodating. Not only did he customer several items for us depending on varying preferences, but he hooked us up with our rental gear as well - placing the initial order and letting us customize as we saw fit. Next - the actual wedding. His crew showed up and took care of everything. I had honestly planned on having some family members set up our tables, etc for the dinner but his peeps took care of it. They completely worked around us without causing much stir and were incredibly friendly to boot. On to the food - ho.ly.cow. The fingerling potatoes were by far the greatest hit of the night because that pesto knocked everybody's socks off. The salad was petite and got everybody excited for the main meal. The veggies were perfect and the fish/vegetarian entrees were exquisite. Everybody raved about the food and we ended with chocolate covered strawberries and perfectly portioned chocolate chip cookies. Finally - his team cleaned the whole kitchen and disassembled everything so quickly, we could hardly tell they were there after they had packed up and gone. So professional, so kind and very talented. We could not have chosen a better, more perfectly suited chef and meal for us. What a great find!

We were visiting the Tahoe area, and knew that we wanted a dinner catered by a private chef for the celebration. Mike was recommended by a local, and was easy to work with in arranging everything for the dinner. I had high expectations based on the delicious sounding menu, and wasn't disappointed. From appetizers to dessert, everything was delicious, and the staff did a phenomenal job of staying on top of everything. It was a meal we will not forget, and I highly recommend him. Not only did they provide excellent food, but they were adept at working in a strange kitchen, and left it spotless after cleaning up. Very impressive.

They were scheduled to serve lunch for 21 and dinner for 36 on Wednesday 11/26, as well as 32 for dinner on Friday 11/28. Wednesday lunch was tasty, however the brioche slider buns per the menu were actually regular Safeway rolls, not brioche. 12 for $6.49! The dessert fell short of anything remotely high level. The brownies on skewers with fruit were dry and fell off the skewers. Wednesday dinner was a disaster. I ordered food for 36 people. We only had 32 including 6 kids, so we should have had plenty. We ran out of asparagas 2/3 of the way thru the line. the platter had enough for 12-15 people. The shrimp - one of the two main courses - ran out as well. I will try to attach a picture of the shrimp before anyone touched it! The photo (pre-serving) looks like there couldn't have been more than 40-50 shrimp. The chef told me he purchased 4-5/person. That would have been 180 shrimp! That was an out and out lie. I ate nothing, as we ran out of food. The owner did tell me afterwards that she looked at the grocery receipt, and he hadn't purchased enough. The dessert was not cake as planned. It appeared to be more of the same brownies, and they were not great. Friday dinner was okay. It was a taco bar. The chef put too much rice in the pot, and it boiled over onto our hardwood floor, rice and all. Then lots of wet garbage was put into the trash compactor, breaking it. The food was tasty and there was enough, but there was nothing high-end about it. Since the event, the owner admitted to me that they had never used the chef before. This was a huge mistake to send out an unknown for 3 large, very expensive meals. There was nothing "gourmet" about his preparation or presentation. Also, the owner admitted to me that the chef knew he was going to be short on dinner on Wednesday. He had a 3 hour break between the two services when he could have purchased more food. We believe that we were grossly overcharged for the chef's time. We were charged over 24 hours for his time alone on Wednesday. The food was supposed to be prepared in our home, but most of it was not. I was not presented with the grocery receipts, so I imagine those could have been inflated. With 21 for lunch, and 32 for both of the dinners, I paid $150/person/meal - over $13,000. And when you consider that one of the meals was a taco bar, the price was outrageous. I hired Hey Chef to ease my stress through the week-long holiday with a lot of guests. Instead, I was embarrassed by the shortcomings and more stressed. I expected the owner to handle these issues more professionally and issue a decent partial refund. I was offered a $300 credit towards a future booking! I am disappointed in Hey Chef for not taking responsibility for failing to come close to our expectations. I would certainly not use their services again, nor would I recommend them.

Instead you may get a questionably trained chef who shows up late, forgot ingredients, didn't cook part of the menu and is a professional at reheating. Highlights of our overpriced meal included shrimp that was so rubbery we didn't know if it was shrimp, a sludge of mixed vegetables that were seemingly from a can, rice that was pre-made and reheated, corn overcooked, and steak that was like rubber and well done with no flavor. This professionally trained chef also shared that the salad dressing (the only edible portion of the meal) is easy to make, "just hidden valley ranch packet mixed with chipotle. The empanadas are also easy to make, just buy frozen pastry dough and put corn and meat in". Tortillas were out of a bag, and the guac and sour cream served out of paper bowls that we supplied. That price doesn't include plates or even a cocktail or wine? We requested a tres leche cake, which he pulled out of a box and told us he ordered from a bakery. Of course there is some value to this individual showing up, but frankly he should have been paid as a middle man, not a chef. Despite the horrific food, I was excited he agreed to do all the dishes until I opened the dishwasher the next morning only to find it has been run with no soap. The final icing on the cake was the knock on the door 10 minutes after he left to remind us we needed to tip him directly and not through the company or he doesn't see a dime of it, something seems weird there...??? I have never left a poor review on yelp before, but if there is ever one that is deserving of it this is it.

I can not in good faith recommend Mountain Magic Catering. I was very disappointed with how Peter,…read morethe owner, handled a change to our event. Due to serious family health circumstances, we had to downsize our wedding to a smaller family gathering of about 1/2 the size of our wedding. We did not cancel our event, in fact it was still held on the same date, at the same time, and at the same location. Unfortunately, Peter would not accommodate our smaller event or refund any portion of our $700 deposit. We were told there was a 75 person minimum, even though this was never discussed verbally or by email before we paid our deposit and there was nothing in writing of this requirement anywhere in our catering paperwork. This was especially surprising because their website referenced smaller gatherings and family reunions. I felt there should have been some willingness to work with us under the circumstances and especially since we didn't even cancel. The only thing mentioned was our deposit would be nonrefundable if cancelled. Other vendors involved with our event were willing to make adjustments, which made this experience particularly disappointing. If you plan to use this caterer, I strongly recommend getting everything in writing, including minimum guest requirements, deposit policies, and exactly what happens if your event needs to be changed. Based on my experience, Peter was very difficult to work with when our circumstances changed and showed little flexibility. Unfortunately, I felt the way our situation was handled was unfair and unprofessional.
