I ordered the curry goat and jerk chicken with rice, cabbage, and plantains everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned.

The cafe is tucked away in the Publix shopping center with plenty of parking. I'll definitely be back probably at least once a week. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a try!

Service: Absolutely perfect & friendly Ambiance: A catering company but, they do conveniently offer food selections when you walk in. I will try them again though & try something else as this place is very clean and presentable to the eye. I'm pretty sure they have a high score as it's extremely clean inside.

This review is way overdue, but this year has been just a little crazy…read more My wife's 30th birthday was back in July, and I was mortified because I wasn't going to be able to do anything special due to COVID. But after a while, I found Chef Chip online. I was a little nervous getting his services for the first time for my wife's birthday, but I am glad I did. His communication with me was fabulous from moment one. He Arrived one hour earlier to start cooking brunch and returned in the afternoon for dinner. Everything was perfect. The food was of excellent quality and delicious. His prices were very fair, with all the costs explained upfront. I won't be surprised to see him one day on the TV winning TOP CHEF! I can't wait to have Chef Chip back here for another fantastic meal. THANKS CHEF!

Chip is good-natured and friendly and joined in our family banter with ease, while at the same time producing a gourmet meal from a tiny kitchen in a rented house that had only a hodgepodge of dishes and cutlery. We ordered the fried green tomatoes, blueberry salad, filet and scallops and sea bass, and lemon curd. Everything was cooked to perfection, and he even took the time to teach my niece a little something about plating and presenting during the dessert course. Overall it was a 5-star experience that would have been worth twice the (surprisingly affordable) price!

PHENOMENAL CHEF! We hired chef Jarvis for our baby shower and a personal dinner for two!…read moreBaby shower: he prepared shrimp and grits, seafood pasta, and fresh fruit tray. ALL FRUIT WAS GONE! The freshest fruit! The shrimp and grits were light but well seasoned! There was just enough shrimp in each bite and he wasn't stingy with the portion size. The seafood pasta was an ultimate hit! There was seafood in every bite and it was the freshest seafood! I never had seafood pasta prepared this way. It contained crab, shrimp and a lobster topping! EVERYONE ATE ALL OF HIS FOOD. We ordered enough and none was left! All of our guests constantly still talk about how good the food was at the shower Private dinner: Chef Jarvis served jalapeño wrapped in bacon, seafood macaroni and cheese, fingerling potatoes, asparagus and a Tomahawk steak. The steak was extremely tender and well seasoned! The seafood macaroni and cheese was fluffy and the seafood taste was not over powering the Mac and cheese. The asparagus and potatoes were fresh and seasoned perfectly! To end the night we were served a brownie that was sooooo soft! I don't eat sweets because I don't like the way they taste but I ate the whole brownie! That says something! I would definitely hire him again! There is no one better in Atalanta! Typically everyone is about presentation and no taste or vice versa. Chef Jarvis comes with both! You get great tasting food, beautiful presentation and stellar service !!!

Where do I even start? I have to give it up to Hannah because her patience with us was next level…read more She was locked out of our cabin for a brief moment and I couldn't even get in touch with her because my phone died after a full day at the local vineyards. Luckily, I had her email and knew she'd respond right away. What can I say? From the very beginning, I knew this was going to be quite the experience. Hannah and I were in touch everyday curating the perfect menu for my girls trip. She was extremely accommodating as one of the girls did not like meat so she quickly made her own choices for my friend. She's extremely communicative which was my favorite part about her services. She made this experience 10/10 for us. And the FOOD?! Phenomenal! We devoured everything. Hannah took care of all the courses and one I didn't include was the kale Cesar salad that tasted so yummy and added the lightest clean touch to our steak dinner. I have no complaints with Hannah and if you're looking for a chef in the Blue Ridge she is your girl. She will take of you from beginning to end with upmost southern hospitality. We do enjoyed having her and will book her again no questions asked! Love you Hannah you were wonderful!!

The food was absolutely incredible with tons of rave…read morereviews from our guests, his communication was top notch, his staff were very professional, and his pricing is very competitive. Richard went above and beyond anything we could have asked for our wedding and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a full service caterer and staffing for your wedding and/or event. We initially reached out to Richard looking for a vendor to make appetizers for our wedding (we had different vendors for the other courses). He had a wide selection of foods choices, where we selected four appetizers, our personal favorite (and the one with rave reviews from our guests) was the Mediterranean Grilled Lamb Chops with Cilantro Mint Aioli. In addition to the food, Richard offered very competitive pricing on other services as well - servers, bartenders, linen rentals, silver wear, full bar package, and so on. He was very conscious of our budget and offered multiple alternatives for each decision, which was greatly appreciated. Since our reception was at a venue where we could bring our own food and alcohol, it also required us to take care of everything else. Having Richard to take care of so many items was such a huge blessing.
