    I don't have the time to write reviews, however I do feel it is the right thing to do so when someone in business does not conduct themselves professionally or respectfully to a potential customer. BE AWARE I read Jonathan's other reviews, saw the negatives but felt it could have been a one off or maybe miscommunication. Now I understand they were right and I should have avoided Jonathan. I used yelp to reach out to 4 different in home chef services to put on a dinner for my wife and I for our 3 year wedding anniversary. We have two kids under two years old so going out to a nice dinner just wouldn't be possible for us. Jonathan was one that I chatted with on yelp. He gave me a quote for a 4 course dinner. I had to ask him a couple times to make sure that the price included him as the chef coming to prepare the dinner, was good included, etc? He asked to talk on the phone to discuss, so I gave him my number and he called me. Over the phone he explained that the quote included everything except alcohol and gratuity. He then walked me through his menu idea for the 4 courses, talked about what he is doing right now based on the season. All 4 courses sounded great and I agreed to do it. He asked for my email address and said he would email me the menu and details shortly. He never emailed me, so I text him the next day if he could email me over the menu and details. He just text me back the 4 course menu, all of which was different than what we discussed and a significant downgrade of a menu over what we talked about on the phone. I asked him to do the original menu options we discussed and he told me he would up-charge me $25 for lobster bisque, even though he offered that to me over the phone and said nothing about an additional charge. Again over the phone he said only potential up-charge is when someone asks to add a lobster tail to the dinner. I questioned this and then he became very rude, arrogant, and unprofessional. See texts... I then lost my chef for my anniversary dinner after telling my wife I had set something up special for us. There should be repercussions for this kind of business owner. I would avoid!

    We had a wonderful flavorful experience! I wish there was more I could have done to show my appreciation for the chef as well as the gentleman that came with him. I could taste all the spices he used in all of his dishes. Even the thyme he added to the strawberry appatizer was so fresh and wonderful in every bite. I was so pleased with the homemade birthday cake! He remembered all my favorite ingredients. Chocolate, cardamom and pistachio yumm. I noted that the pistachios were roasted and salted which gave it that extra special bite. His attention to detail was amazing and even had my picky guests eating foods they otherwise wouldn't! I will definitely recommend them to others for small or big gatherings. Thank you Chef Jonathan for making my birthday dinner perfect!

    These ladies of Chef Jonathan are the sweetest. They made it easy for me to enjoy my party.

    I hired Platinum Bite for my adult holiday party last Saturday. Chef Jonathan came to my place to take a look and gave recommendations. He was super friendly. So I decided to go with him after interviewing different vendors. It was my first time to work with Chef Jonathan and his team. The entire process was simple and easy. They were on time for the set up. And everything was ready before the party started. They made it easy for me to enjoy my party fully. I love that they took over my kitchen and the end of the day they returned me my kitchen spotlessly. The food was amazing!!! My guests still talk about the mash potatoes and the lobster. The grazing table was also a big hit. Thank you Chef Jonathan and your team! You guys really wowed me and my guests! Definitely will use you again! And oh definitely recommend Platinum Bite Catering!!

    charcuterie board

    Chef Jonathan is amazing! I LOVED his food on Christmas Eve for our outdoor ceremony. Every item was pre-packaged to keep everyone safe! Every item was made deliciously including the appetizers, main course, sides, and desserts! The guests loved the surprise dessert boxes, so much so there weren't any left for myself as the bride and the groom when we were done tearing down and cleaning up Jonathan and his sister Wendy even took the extra step of taking the charcuterie board we were going to have displayed and wrapping it up so that we could take it home and enjoy it for Christmas instead :) I am BEYOND in love with the food, when we finally sat down to eat at 4pm, the food was delicious! And I know if was even more quickly consumed it would have been even more amazing! I really can't express how impressed I am with the meal Chef Jonathan created, and how happy I am with how everything turned out! I didn't get to taste anything ahead of time due to COVID, but I'm so glad I went with Platinum Bite. The lamb, which I saw photos of Instagram was AMAZING! The salmon was cooked perfectly! Everyone talked about how amazing the food is and asked how to find them. Even as there was mad chaos at that end of our outdoor ceremony to figure out how to distribute and carry stacks boxes, the chef was really unflappable and nice. I can't wait for a future event and have their food again!!!!! They're amazing and have got amazing talent!

    Jonathan was amazing!!! His cooking was sooooooo delicious and I loved his attention to detail! He was such a fun guy to have be our cook and waiter and was super professional, courteous, and friendly. Even when my husband asked if he can replace his steak menu options for a wagyu steak that isn't part of his menu, he complied. He kept his mask on the whole time, and after he was done, my kitchen was sanitized and spotless! I would love to have him cook for us again! I was embarrassed that you saw me ugly cry cause of the surprise but thank you for the wonderful experience I will never ever forget! You and your cooking will forever be a part of this beautiful memory of our 12yr anniversary dinner. Best one ever!!

    Chef Peter is the real deal. I contacted him to cater our firm's holiday party this year. From…read morefirst contact to the two months leading up to the event, he was responsive and kind. He worked with me on a menu and he delivered my vision. Even with extreme circumstances (another vendor broke our garage door 24 hours before the event) Chef Peter and his crew took it in stride. They were on time and hauled their heavy equipment in and got straight to work. He was basically cooking/grilling on one side of our building (back patio), having to run back forth to the interior kitchen and sink. He and his crew worked SO hard that night. They are very professional. Every plate was perfect, they cleared the tables and made sure everything was spotless when they left. I also hired Jacob the Bartender (he works with Chef Peter) and WOW! Crafted cocktails and excellent service. Every person who was late to my party was sat and had a drink in their hand in less than a few minutes. Jacob was a pleasure to work with. Great bartender. I could not ask for a better duo for the night. Also big thanks to Tomas and Erick - their waitstaff. Amazing night they pulled off. I'm a perfectionist. Type A host. I'm very particular on how I throw my parties and Chef Peter surpassed my expectations & more. My entire firm will not shutup about how amazing the food and service was. The party was a hit and I believe it was because of the food & bar. I will 100% hire this team again for future events.

    Chef Eric B - Heirloom tomato and burrata salad

    This review is long overdue!…read more Eric was a joy to work with. He was prompt with communication, and provided perfect recommendations for my private, birthday party dinner. His menu selections were top notch, and my husband and I were thrilled with the outcome. We did 3 appetizers before the 4 course meal began. We did the elote (street corn) appetizer, tuna tartare, and lamb chop. Of note, I don't eat lamb at all, but Eric's Lamb chop was AN AMAZING FLAVOR BOMB! I appreciated that him and his server showed up prepared with all of their supplies (and small plates for serving). For dinner, we had the heirloom tomato and burrata salad, followed by the char grilled octopus, then the Australian Wagyu steak with creme brûlée to finish. The menu was superb, Eric presented his gorgeous plates with detail and attention, and (of course) they cleaned up everything after! This was a PHENOMENAL experience, and we are already looking to book Eric again for my husband's birthday! Eric, you are an artist and amazing chef! Thank you for offering this wonderful experience and making my birthday memorable!

We decided to go with them for our wedding and it was the best decision we could've made. Rusty was so communicative, personable, and responsive. She really went above and beyond in her role, and during such a stressful time like wedding planning, made things so much easier. Hats off to her husband, Cliff, for making amazing food. We were blown away at the tasting and could not wait for our guests to try the food. Cliff and Rusty were open to feedback and provided amazing options. Our wedding guests enjoyed the food sooo much, including our picky parents. My husband's grandpa went back for about 7 mac and cheese balls during the cocktail hour. Also, shout out to JP, the bartender. He created the best drinks based on the types of drinks we normally like, and our guests still talk about the drinks from our wedding. We provided alcohol for other drinks, but our guests stuck to our signature cocktails because they were so delicious! He was also able to handle our very thirsty crowd. We can't say enough positive things about the Sunday Kitchen team and HIGHLY highly recommend. Thank you guys again!! :)

    Chef Bonnie is hands down worthy of 5 stars. She is simply awesome!…read more I met Bonnie through my sister who utilizes her to cook for her family. My son recently turned 1 and she made all of the food for his birthday party. Since we are a vegan family, I asked her to make a bunch of finger foods that were vegan. She took on the task and she nailed it. Everyone was happy.... and everyone that attended was a carnivore. :) So that alone says something. Bonnie comes to my sister's home once a week to prep 3-4 meals. She shops where my sister wants her to shop and buys organic products as requested. Each week she gives the receipts to my sister and leaves all the unused purchased food behind. The kitchen is always left clean and she brings all of her own equipment to use for cooking. She is very open to trying any suggested recipes and like I said- I had her make a bunch of vegan food for my son's birthday. Also, the day before the event (since the number of guests went down), we changed up the menu and she was totally fine with this. She even took some of the purchased groceries and returned them to the grocery store since they wouldn't be used. Overall I would highly recommend Bonnie and her skills ESPECIALLY if you want a healthy personal chef.

Chef Bonnie not only makes the most healthy and delicious meals, but she actually leaves your kitchen cleaner than when you left it.

I think one of the best treats of having Chef Bonnie cook for you is that when you step in the door, all the wonderful aromas come rushing towards you and all you can say is "Yumm....Chef Bonnie was here today!". We absolutely love Chef Bonnie and I know you will too!
