    Seafood paella setup
    Katey G.

    This was so delicious! What a great experience for my friends bachelorette party. I was looking on Yelp for a paella chef to come to our AirBnB in Palm Springs and found Chef William. It was easy to email, setup what we wanted, and book. Chef was on time, very professional, and made a delicious and impressive meal. Chef and his CDC were great. They came in, assembled the gas grill paella setup (indoors and it worked great, not smokey). His assistant offered to make us all a cocktail with ingredients we had on hand which was really nice. They even brought fancy ice cubes for our drinks. When the paella was ready, chef brought it out for us to see and take photos, it was like art! The paella pan was HUGE for 11 people! We got the just the paella dinner, and it was a lot of food. They served us bread, a salad, and then the paella course. We got the classic seafood paella and it was delicious! SO MUCH seafood. We each got a lobster tail, 2 scallops, clams, mussels, calamari, octopus, shrimp..... it was incredible. The whole night felt like such a great value and the presentation was so impressive. I wouldn't hesitate to have chef William back for any future getaways to Palm Springs!

    Seafood Paella

    I hired Chef William for a dinner of 11 and loved it! Very professional and very clear on what to expect and what is needed to make it a success. The seafood paella was delish and portions were perfect!

    Moroccan Chicken Meatballs with a Harissa Aioli that's been cooked in Ethiopian Ghee. Absolutely delicious!

    I had the privilege of being a guest at one of Chef William's hosted dinner experiences and it's unlike anything I've ever experienced. Incredibly memorable on so many different levels, I don't want to spoil any of the fun, but for those seeking a unique and exhilarating dining experience, Chef Williams offers an experience unlike any other. With each dish we were presented, Chef Williams came out and gave us a wonderfully insightful description. He shared some interesting facts about the ingredients used, while also sharing personal experiences of his travels and discoveries that lead to the creation of each dish - It really added to the whole experience and made the dishes more memorable and enjoyable. Nothing short of an incredible evening and something everyone should get the opportunity to experience once - He even brought lovely cloth napkins which the Airbnb did not provide! A well thought out and entertaining evening, you can tell Chef Williams knows his stuff. Highly, highly recommended.

    5 plus stars for William! We wanted a special dinner to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday and William did not disappoint. He and Aaron arrived on time and set up shop in the kitchen. The appetizers were unique and full of flavor. It was difficult to select a favorite as they were all delicious. William described each one prior to passing the tray. The salad was beautifully plated with a delicate crispy cheese on top and sprinkled with flower petals. The paella was spectacular and cooked to perfection. William even had candles to put on our birthday cake. They assisted with the cake cutting and serving. William and Aaron were a pleasure to have in our home. The kitchen and dining room table were left squeaky clean. Needless to say my mother absolutely loved this culinary experience.

    William serving the paella!

    Amazing evening! This is the second time I used his services. Fantastic! Perfect paella..loved the salad and the apps too. Ray his server and bartender was so good also. I swear is the only way to do it. They arrive, do all the work... then leave everything spotless! Such a way to entertain! Let's me enjoy my company!

    Chef William was incredibly responsive in helping create a menu for a birthday dinner on an opposite coast. He and his assistant were professional, resourceful, and a pleasure to have prepare a beautiful meal for a special day. I appreciate the abundance of items you are able to select, in order to create a well curated meal. Everything we had was so delicious! Highly recommend Chef William!!

    I reached out to Chef William unsure if dinner service NYE was available and to my surprise it was! We had a party of 12 and from the beginning Chef William was responsive and very accommodating. Chef brought two additional staff making the evening a HUGE success. The appetizers, Paella and dessert were delicious and each item served was explained in detail. The experience allowed us to enjoy our family and friends for an epic evening that will always be remembered!! Thank you Chef and shout out to Shane for being the most amazing bartender for our group.

    Pork Belly
    Connie C.

    I cannot say much we enjoyed Chef Bloomhuff and Theresa. He came for a special birthday dinner while in Indio and we had the best time. He initially served 4 appetizers while we were finishing up a movie sitting in the living room: Ahi tuna: this tasted fresh and not "fishy". The sauces complimented the tuna well. The bite-size was perfect as an appetizer while taste of flavors Steak bites: this was also a perfect size for an appetizer. Ours was modified and tasted a bit like Stroganoff with tender beef. Duck Crostini: this had a flavorful aioli that complimented the duck and the crunchiness of the crostini. The duck flavor was not strong but this small appetizer was flavorful considering its size. Pork belly: this was our absolute favorite. The pork belly was bigger than the other appetizers and full of flavor. The pork belly was so tender and paired well with the slaw. For dinner we enjoyed: Bread with butter, salad with parm crisp and seafood paella. The seafood paella is the best paella and best seafood I've ever had...all in the comfort of our rental home. The octopus was incredibly tender and melted in my mouth. I am used to overcooked rubber, so this was an incredible surprise. I doubt I'll have octopus like that ever again. The chorizo was Smokey and flavorful without being spicy. The lobster was also incredibly tender and fresh. I was expecting rubbery because it can be easy to do but this was not the case. Because there was so much tender seafood, the crunchy rice complimented the dish very well. I had to have seconds of the rice because of how tasty it was. For dessert, Chef Bloomhuff was able to incorporate lemon since it was the birthday girl's favorite flavor. He did not disappoint! The mini cakes with blueberries were fantastic. There was not an overwhelming taste of lemon or sweetness which was perfect. Both Chef and Theresa were really friendly and great to have as company. They made sure presentation was on point and that the place was as clean as before they arrived. I highly recommend for a special occasion or for a private chef at home. You will not be disappointed!!

    Chef William was incredible!! He came to our airbnb and cooked tapas + the seafood paella (plus served the cake!) for a 60th birthday party. William was very easy to work with and the food was delicious. 10/10 would hire William and his staff again!

    See all

    I would give 10 stars if I could! We'll definitely be working with Chef Tonya for all of our future…read moreevents. You won't regret booking her! We wanted to host an engagement party for 25 people at home with hors d'oeuvres and dessert bites. Upon reaching out, Chef Tonya quickly responded with her full menu offerings and suggested popular items, as well as what she thought would pair well with our "wine night" theme. On the day of the event, we were in awe of how delicious everything was. She's incredibly intuitive and knows exactly when to take initiative too, which we appreciated the most. We didn't need to direct her on where anything was--she simply found what she needed without interrupting the flow of the evening. At the end, she thoughtfully packaged all the leftovers using our Tupperware and Ziploc bags, making it easy to store or send food home with guests. Some of our favorites from the night were the crab cake bites, baked potato bites, lemon bars, and cheesecake bites. All the veggies in the crudité were incredibly fresh too!

This was my first time to hire a caterer, as I usually do all the cooking myself. With my first phone conversation with Chef Tonya, I immediately felt very comfortable that Tine to Dine would do a wonderful job and that the food would be made with love and care. We had a group of 35 guests and chose a menu of small bites. The presentation was beautiful (they even provided a centerpiece!) , there was something for everyone (young children to special diets) and every item was absolutely wonderful! Made from scratch, with good, fresh ingredients. Raves from all our guests! Perfect. My son and his fiancé also used Tine to Dine for their day after wedding brunch. We had the pleasure of a 2nd meal prepared by Chef Tonya and Chef Faye! And all was wonderful again!

We were in a small vacation rental and knew the kitchen may be lacking - they came table cloth and linens, silverware, dishes, serveware - everything to ensure we had a 5-star dining experience! The food itself was AMAZING! Stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes, surf and turf with filet mignon, lobster tails, seared scallops, sautéed asparagus, and potatoes o gratin. For dessert - a strawberry tiramisu. He even made my 3 year old mac and cheese! (Also, my 3 year old ate the stuffed mushrooms and crabcakes, and begged for more tiramisu for days after, which says A LOT about how good the food was!). Liza even held our 10 week old baby and fed him a bottle so all the adults could eat!! At the end of the night, they cleaned up every single dish and the kitchen looked nicer than when they had arrived. Both Chef Dean and Liza went above and beyond for us, and we are so very grateful for them and helping us make our parents 40th anniversary super special and unforgettable. We raved about it to everyone we met for the rest of the trip! Thank you Chef Dean and Liza!!! 100/10 will hire again!

I interviewed several private chefs to cook a dinner for 14 and knew almost instantly that Ray was my guy.

What was served was superb. The food was yummy, scrumptious, delectable. All the words. And it was a real challenge to devise a menu that accommodated numerous personalities and dislikes. So, rest assured Ray is creative, resourceful and very skilled. But HOW it was served - with gregarious warmth and humor - truly made the evening special. Everyone totally fell in love with Ray and swooned over his culinary offerings. Days later, I was still receiving gushy texts about the food, the chef and the magical atmosphere. Thank you Ray, for helping turn a potentially crappy moment into a lovely, unforgettable one. I will take a little credit for having the common sense to choose you :)
