From the…read moremoment I connected with him on the phone to his team's prompt arrival at our Airbnb the night of the party, we were blown away. In addition to being a true master of his craft (the food was better than most fine dining experiences), Chef Cal is an ambassador of Southern Hospitality (the service was attentive, warm, and personable). This past Friday night will go down as one of the most memorable nights of all time within our family. Thank you for that, Chef Cal! We are already looking forward to next time, and if you're in the market for a private chef in South Florida, look no further (and thank yourself later).

Hired Wendy for a fine-dining, multi-celebration dinner for a small group of friends at Lake Anna…read moreover the summer. Started corresponding with her about 2 months prior to reserve the date and create the meal. We challenged her with very strict dietary needs. She curated and delivered a menu worthy of the finest restaurants in any major city. Wendy arrived on time, prepared and laid out appetizers/crudites, and when ready, without rushing us, served our first course. While we enjoyed the amazing fresh salad, she grilled our entrees and served a surf & turf dinner with grilled vegetables and a sweet potato roasted mash. We enjoyed the meal family style, and there was plenty of food including leftovers for the next day. There's always room for dessert and Wendy made a light key lime pie that capped the meal beautifully. Wendy plated, served and cleared the meal. We were surprised and happy that by the time our meal was over, she had washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen completely. Highly recommend Chef Wendy--easy to work with and so personal. You won't regret it!

She overdelivered on every meal. She even set up our table beautifully and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. Wendy is also extremely personable and easy going. She wasn't at all intrusive but since we got along with her, we chatted with her quite a bit and enjoyed her company. She was also very patient with our dog, who is a guard dark and has a startling bark. She rolled with it all with good humor. We would absolutely hire Wendy again and we miss her food already!

I was recently in Florida for a girls trip (10 in total) to celebrate a special birthday. We hired…read morechef Maria to come and cook a special meal for us. I literally can not possibly say enough good things about Maria. She arrived early and quickly was set up. She had another lady to come to help and together they worked quietly cleaning up everything as they went. Everything was ready on time - although she was very flexible because we were not quite ready. She set a beautiful table and served us with attention to every detail. The food was amazing. From appetizers to main course and dessert. Our wine glasses were never empty. HIGHLY recommend. I wish I could give 10 stars! And 2 of the ladies in our group are in the restaurant business for years and they were very impressed as well. If I ever go back, I will 100% hire Maria again! thank you for a great experience.

My daughter wanted a Sweet 16 party and I was led to Douglas K. Catering for the food choice. He…read morewas very helpful in helping me choose the menu and was very professional. We were having about 75 people. I read the reviews and every review about the food being good was true! We had a mix of Caribbean family and friends and I was concerned but they all raved about the food. My father in law asked who made the chicken which is the ultimate compliment. Several others asked about the food and all of them took food to go. We ordered the Island Flair meal, which came with jerk chicken, sweet plantains, garden salad w/dressing, and rice and peas. A la carte we got herb roasted chicken, green beans, and an extra pan of sweet plantains and meatballs. The price was reasonable and the food came on time. The service was stellar and they are highly recommended!

I've been in North Palm Beach for seven years and been to many catered events that have all been good but so typical and predictable. Chef Kenny on the other hand picked a menu for 15 families of the Benjamin High School tennis team's annual party. Chef Kenny set up everything three hours prior to 6:30 dinner with no complications and everything ran beautifully. He was told about 40 people would come but we had over 50 and everyone, teens, kids and adults all well satisfied. Simple fresh healthy ingredients made up salads, little dumplings that must have been tasty because they all disappeared before I tried one! Other appetizers all delicious and well received. Soft tacos were Chef Kenny's pick for entrees that seemed a little risky to me, but he knows what works in these large outdoor settings. Luscious fish (didn't ask for species but was moist fresh flaky Grouper-like), chicken and other meats were ingredient choices for his "gourmet tacos". Sides of cheese, salsa, exceptional roasted red peppers and cooked onion were over the top and so simple and easy for everyone to take what they wanted served the way each liked. I never heard so many compliments for such simple fare that was so perfectly prepared and served. Largoasted potatoes were another simple food prepared and spiced to perfection by our culinary institute trained chef. Chef Kenny is best kept secret in South Florida in my opinion for such events, pricing was very fair, outdoor set-up, clean-up and break-down was efficient and well coordinated and didn't interfere with festivities. I don't know who recommended him to my wife, but I know who to call next time I'm having a little party and don't want any headaches worrying about the food not being great.
