Came to the desert for my Mother's 89th birthday bent on creating a special moment for her. Luckily, it was recommended that I reach out to Chef William and I am so glad that I did. His professionalism from start to finish was beyond expectations. He gave me the confidence he could deliver and he did in spades. Let me say that my mom is a discerning customer and to have her say this was one of her best birthdays was special. Excellence is all I can say. Thanks to Chef William and his team for a wonderful experience. read more

By far, the best chef in the area. Incredible attention to detail, responsiveness and professionalism at the highest level and only surpassed by the incredible culinary technique. We had an absolutely phenomenal dinner with Chef Bloomhuff and his staff. I regret not having booked him for our entire trip instead of just one dinner! read more

Chef could not have been more professional, communicative and obliging. The entire presentation from first bite until the last was like that of any Michelin-rated restaurant. The whole experience was enhanced by his knowledge of Spanish food, culture, and history. Every course was a conversation and his engaging with myself and my guests made the whole evening unforgettable. 12/10. read more

Super responsive, great food, and a pleasure to work with! The paella was outstanding and great for a crowd, with super generous portions.

Chef Bloomhuff showed up promptly. He got to work with setting up and prepping the kitchen. Everything he did had the upmost attention to detail. Every dish that came out was beautifully presented and tasted phenomenal. Next time we are in Palm Springs we will definitely have Chef Bloomhuff visit again. I just can't say enough great things! His assistant, Melody, did a great job refilling drinks and just making sure our whole party was taken care of! Thank you both for such a memorable dinner party. read more

Chef William was fantastic. My friends and I spent a New Years in Palm Springs and based on a recommendation, we reached out to Chef William for a NYE inner.

Awesome! Amazing! Best paella I have ever had! Went to Indio to celebrate my 30th birthday with friends and family. My husband hired Chef William to prepare dinner for us one night at the home we were renting. He responded to our inquiry quickly and really wanted to make everything perfect for us. The whole process was smooth and he answered all our questions about the menu. He arrived at the house early to set up and prepare all the food. Because of our large group, he recommended we have 2 servers (forgot their names). They were also there early to help set up. Chef William was so nice and always made time to answer our questions about what he was doing and to show us all his incredible ingredients. We had two appetizers: chicken lollipops and meatballs. Both super flavorful and filling! We also had a bone marrow salad that was amazing. Everyone loved it! And of course the main course; the paella! We asked for the seafood paella and he even made a small chicken one for a friend who is allergic to shellfish. Very accommodating! As I said earlier, best paella... EVER. It had more seafood than rice (which was not a bad thing!) and was super duper flavorful. My guests raved about how huge the seafood pieces were and loved how there was enough for seconds! I loved that the servers always came around to fill our waters and even poured and served our alcohol! Loved it! After dinner, Chef William and his crew cleaned up and even packed up all our leftovers for us. Forgot to mention earlier...he also bought ice cubes that had cucumber slices in them for our water and other beverages! I love little details like that! Thank you Chef William for making my birthday so special! and so delicious! read more

Wow Chef William and assistant Shane both were such a great surprise birthday event!!! I got lucky with a last minute booking that turned into a wonderful experience. Chef explained everything and even showed us the paella making experience. The croquette and meatball tapas were phenomenal. Of course the paella was delicious and full of generous seafood!!!! You won't regret this meal. Plus they did all the cleanup and had free bartending services during the entire meal! Even the simple bread and butter was memorable! read more

WOW WOW WOW! We hired Chef William to make his amazing paella for our large bachelorette group of 15. The table was nicely set outside of our rented house and it was a beautiful evening setting. The sangria was YUM and was a great to sip on before dinner in our outside patio. The salad was fresh and savory. Then the paella! So yummy. Everyone was raving about it. We requested the seafood paella with soyrizo (we needed a pescatarian dish), however we had two ladies that have seafood allergies, so he kindly made a separate mini paella using the traditional meats. As we ate, the sangria kept coming and coming. My only regret was not having him provide dessert (next time!). After the dinner, everything was left spotless in the kitchen and there was nothing we had to worry about. The whole experience was very nice and easy and SO much better than going out for dinner. Chef William is very professional and goes out of his way to make sure you have a great experience. He even helped us get some photos of our large group and sent them to us after. As the organizer of the party, I was very pleased to see that the other reviews were on point and the girls had nothing but great things to say about Chef William. Thank you so much! read more

Chef William was absolutely wonderful! When I called to see if he was free for a dinner for 8 he was very responsive, informative and thorough. He offered some options for our vegetarians and with his suggestions we created a beautiful menu. We did the Seafood and Vegetarian paella with the 4 tapas option. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious! 5 stars!! Our friends who lived in Spain were so impressed. Many world travelers and foodies in our group and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed the sangria too. Very very refreshing, not excessively sweet like some we've had. His assistant Shane was a joy as well. He happily served us drinks and set the table beautifully. Both were such professionals. They pampered us and we didn't have to worry one bit about anything. They served us everything from appetizers, drinks, entrees and dessert. And wow the dessert was phenomenal! I can't wait to try his other dinner options and will be calling him again. He's passionate about what he does and it shows. Also, they left the kitchen absolutely sparkling. What a treat! Thank you Chef William and Shane! Can't wait to use you guys for our next gathering! read more

Perfection! Chef William and Jonathan were incredible, the attention to detail and service could not be better. We are still talking about our meal and are planning our next trip to Palm Springs just to have Chef William prepare brunch for us. Perhaps this will explain how amazing our dinner was. All 8 of us were dreading eating our next meal because we knew it could never measure up to Chef Williams creations. read more

Chef William Bloomhuff is absolutely talented and passionate about cuisine. He grows some of the fruits and vegetables in his garden to share with his guests. Our dinner was divine: tasty and so well presented. We wanted to have a very special experience with our family from overseas, as there are few occasions when we have the chance to be all reunited. And Chef Bloomhuff contributed to this success! He was able to translate the courses to my French family who doesn't speak English. We couldn't have had a better time than this evening. It made our Christmas time one of a kind. I would absolutely recommend Chef Bloomhuff! read more

We hired Chef William remotely using Thumbtack. His reviews were spot-on. His communication was excellent, willing to work and plan with us remotely which can be a leap of faith! He showed up on time, the cost was what we were quoted, his help was personable and respectful. Chef was so sweet about needing time to attend to his craft and focus on our meal. We sat down and were blown away by each course of our Pan-Asian feast. We will hire William again and look forward to it! read more

Chef William prepared dinner for six of us on two occasions last week in our Palm Springs home. Both meals were beautifully presented and tasted wonderful! Chef and his assistant arrived on time, were well prepared and left our kitchen spotless. He is a true professional and described all the dishes in detail as they were being prepared. His presentation was exceptional right down to describing edible garnishes from his own garden. We thoroughly enjoyed learning the history of paella and the origins of all the ingredients. We would definitely hire him again in the future. His meals were not just dinner they were an EVENT! read more

Our family of 7 spent Christmas week in Palm Springs, and our son and daughter-in-law hired Chef William to prepare dinner at our AirBnB on our final night. It was the highlight of an already-fantastic week together. CW and his associate, Shane, showed up promptly with countless ingredients, supplies, containers, tools, pans, even a fryer for just one of the appetizers - William could manage logistics for NASA. First he mixed delicious sangrias that Shane served, and described the history of paella while preparing multiple fantastic appetizers. I wish I could recall them all, but the marinated shrimp and later the extraordinary filet bites will have long lives in my memory. Dinner was a paella like I've never seen before, with octopus, lobster, clams, shrimp, sausage and an unusual Spanish rice. We requested no dessert, thank goodness, because we were beyond stuffed, with lots of leftovers. Presentation of each course was gorgeous, and Chef William and the adorable Shane were beyond charming and entertaining throughout. The next thing we knew, the kitchen was spotless, the endless materials he'd brought were gone, and he was bidding us goodbye. I can't recommend Chef William and Shane highly enough. read more

Chef William created a perfect dinner for my Parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary party. He and Shane (his assistant) were professional and friendly. The food was very good and perfectly cooked.

What can I say.... we look forward to our girls trips just to have Chef William cook for us. This was our second time having The Chef prepare a meal for us and this time he had his assistant Jonathan help. Together they are awesome. We had the chicken and chorizo paella along with a fabulous, light salad preceded by the Moroccan meatballs and they were delish. Next time we will definitely be trying the seafood. The chef is so easy to work with in preparing the menu and makes it even easier the day of your event. And next to eating the food, the best part is that everything, EVERYTHING is cleaned, washed, and picked up. All we literally do is enjoy the food and enjoy each other's presence. Thank you Jonathan and Chef William! read more

Chef William is a consummate pro. We were lucky enough to be able to book him for a private wedding dinner. Booking was so easy and William was communicative throughout the process. The event was spectacular. The menu was thoughtful and all the food was beyond delicious. William was so knowledgeable, fun, attentive, descriptive -- it was nothing short of a culinary world tour. Can't wait to be back in the desert. We'll definitely want to have William back again. read more

We hired Chef William 3 weeks ago for a double birthday celebration and we're still raving about it. He was very responsive and obliged to the request to break up the menu service into 5 courses so we could leisurely enjoy each course. He is a professional and his timing is impeccable from serving us 4 different appetizers, twice over while we enjoyed cocktails; to dinner beginning with a delicious plancha seared romaine heart salad, followed by a tea smoked shrimp second course and then perfectly prepared sous vide cast iron beef filet. Two requested desserts finished off a wonderful birthday celebration. We never felt rushed, the portions were ample and for a one man chef operation we felt service was like being served in a high end restaurant. We would love to hire Chef William again when we have an opportunity. Thanks Chef! read more

Chef William and his assistant Michelle we're AMAZING! The service, attention to detail and food was over the top. Thank you so much for making our mother's day evening so special for everyone. We will definitely be contacting you in the future when we make it back to Palm Springs!! read more

I organized a small 40th birthday dinner at the house we rented in Palm Springs. We thought it would be fun and unique as it was the first time our group of friends had a private chef. I'm so glad I secured Chef William to do the best paella dinner for us -- all of our expectations were exceeded! It started with his offering of jumbo ice cubes frozen with limes which we promptly added to our pre-dinner cocktails. The food was excellent and plentiful (so much seafood in the paella), the service seamless and professional and -bonus- no clean up for us to do had we cooked ourselves. It was such a stress free experience to be able to relax and share this amazing dinner together without going out. I would highly recommend Chef William to anyone looking for a very memorable night in! read more
