From a world away (We are West Coast, he is in Jacksonville), Chef Green Bean made the whole thing so easy. Super thoughtful, checked in on what we actually needed, coordinating availability and accommodating a strict dietary regiment, and the food was reported as genuinely delicious every single time. He clearly cares about what he does -- it wasn't just tasty, it felt like he was actually looking out for us. If you need a chef who's great at what he does AND just a genuinely good person to work with, book Chef Green Bean. We loved having him cook for our family.

My husband and I recently hired Chef Walter Busconi as our personal part-time Chef. He has been…read moreoutstanding in every regard. He is an excellent chef, with all the credentials, including expertise in nutrition. Chef Walter has an extensive collection of tried and true recipes and has self-published several cookbooks. He is creative and knowledgeable when it comes to food prep, pleasant to be around, eager to please and focused on the job at hand. We like him a lot. His meals have great eye appeal, contain healthy ingredients and have been delicious. Best of all, Chef Walter suggests a meal plan, does the shopping, prepares three meals that are easy for me to reheat and get on the table with minimal fuss, and leaves my kitchen spotless. I highly recommend Chef Walter Busconi. Kathleen Cort

For Valentine's Day this year, I decided to mix things up a bit and hire a private chef to cook…read moredinner for me and my wife. After some back-and-forth with several prospects, I decided to go with Chef Walter Busconi Lage or "Chef of the World" as he bills himself. He created a few different menus based on our preferred cuisines and we worked together to mix and match some of the elements of each to come to a three-course meal I knew we'd both enjoy. Arriving promptly at 4pm for a 6pm service, he was very friendly and accommodating. Chef Walter brought all of the necessary equipment to perform his craft, and right around 6pm we sat down to our first course of a goat cheese souffle. Impossibly light and rich at the same time, it was a fantastic starter. It came with some mixed greens on the side that were dressed with a flavorful vinaigrette. Our entree was surf and turf: bison ribeye with lobster, served with potatoes dauphinoise and asparagus in an orange zest hollandaise. The bison was cooked to perfection, with a delicious compound butter that helped with the natural leanness of bison. The potatoes were rich and yielding, and the asparagus was tender but still with a nice snap and the creamy hollandaise made it a joy to eat. The one miss on this course was the lobster, which was overly soft and didn't add much to the plate. For dessert we were served a cognac creme brulee with whipped topping. This was the best creme brulee I've ever eaten; the hint of cognac really set off the other flavors and it was not overly sweet. While not inexpensive, Chef Walter is a man who knows his craft. He was friendly, hospitable, punctual, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to work with him again in the future.

Blue Sage Cuisine prides itself on featuring local and organic produce, free-range meat, wild-caught and sustainable seafood. Everything the company prepares is locally sourced, scratch-made and preservative free. Jasmin, the owner of Blue Sage Cuisine, was quick to respond to our inquiry to set up a call to discuss what menu we envisioned for our wedding day. I appreciated her knowledge of our venue space in addition to the recommendations she provided us for selecting the menu and the set up. We had an in-home menu tasting where Jasmin brought the entire menu we'll be having at our wedding. It was great to not only meet her but also to try the delicious spread. Our menu consists of mashed potatoes, rosemary skewers, herb roasted salmon, grilled chicken with mushrooms and caprese skewers. All menus are totally customizable and we picked our personal favorites from a vast list of selections. The possibilities are truly endless. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful and we can't wait to wow our guests' tastebuds in the fall on our big day.

Hello Yelpers!!! It's a new year, and it's time for me to finally share opinions about a few places…read moreI failed to mention last year. My first stop has to be Chef Amadeus. This incredible chef hosts a monthly event called The Tiny Kitchen Series, and if you are ever lucky enough to grab a ticket before they sell out, you are in for an amazing treat. I've attended two events, and they did not disappoint. Both events were held at The Palate, which fits the name of the series perfectly. It's truly a tiny kitchen where you watch Chef do his thing up close. It may sound basic, but it's anything but that. Chef Amadeus engages with guests from arrival through the very end of the experience. We were introduced to fellow diners, made great connections, and I've even stayed in touch with a few people so we can alert each other when future events pop up to RSVP. During meal preparation, Chef explained the ingredients, where they were sourced (many locally), and shared stories from his childhood that inspired his menus. An excellent addition to the experience. Now, let's talk about the food. At the first event, we were greeted with the cutest charcuterie cups from Biscuit and Brie - Mobile Charcuterie & Catering. I had to pace myself because I didn't want to spoil my appetite. I would absolutely have them cater an event for me. The appetizer was shrimp and a fritter with mango salsa, topped with a garnish that surprised everyone (and I won't spill Chef's secret). The salsa was light and refreshing, perfectly paired with the shrimp and fritter. The entrée was chicken and spinach with a cream sauce. It was incredible. The chicken breasts were juicy (a rare win when dining out), and the spinach and cream sauce brought everything together beautifully. One guest was pescatarian, so Chef prepared a separate dish featuring salmon and shrimp with the same sauce and spinach. OMG. We all begged him to add that to a future menu, and she confirmed it tasted as amazing as it looked. Dessert was a decadent ganache cheesecake, which I believe may have been provided by Crème de la Cocoa. One word... WOW! I'm not usually a dessert person, but I enjoyed more than a couple of bites. That said, the wine pairing was more my version of dessert. It was a night full of delicious food, great conversation, laughter, and lovely wine. The second event came with better notetaking on my part and was paired with rum from FishHawk Spirits (locally owned). We were again welcomed with charcuterie cups from Biscuit and Brie, and this time I received one without pork. That meant a lot and showed how attentive Chef and his team are. Extra points for that. The first course was a silky smoked corn chowder topped with chilled crab salad and finished with a sofrito oil drizzle. Hands down, the best chowder I've ever had. The smoky corn and lump crab were perfectly balanced, and Chef did not skimp--every spoonful delivered equal parts of corn and crab. Absolutely delicious! The second entrée was poached speckled trout in citrus pepper, butter, and silver rum, served with wilted spinach and crisp shrimp toast. I usually avoid trout because it doesn't feel "meaty" enough for me, but Chef's trout completely changed my mind. It was meaty, moist, and outstanding. The shrimp toast was also a highlight and a first for me. Dessert was a spiced rum cake with caramel sauce and whipped topping--to die for--and the perfect ending to the night. Unfortunately, Yelp's word limit wouldn't allow me to include the names of the cocktails Chef paired with our meal, they were just as amazing as the meals. If you ever see a notification for The Tiny Kitchen Series hosted by Chef Amadeus, trust me and do your best to get a seat. TREAT YOURSELF!!!! You'll enjoy an up-close experience with a chef, watch your meal prepared in front of you, sip quality beverages, meet great people, and have some really good laughs. It's different, fun, and incredibly satisfying. He has an upcoming event this month, A Taste of Bourbon, which I'm devastated to miss. I shed a tear just thinking about missing a bourbon cocktail paired with one of his creations. Geez Louis! Yelp, I need you to allow for more words to be included in my words. It's been way too long since I've posted, and I have ALOT to say! CIAO for now.

I did a Google search for caterers in our area, and Catering by Liz popped up. She also came in as a strong recommendation from our aunt, as they catered to events that she had been to in the past and was impressed. So that sealed the deal and we went with Catering by Liz. We are so happy that we went with them. The service and professionalism are outstanding. Harmony was our point of contact and she did an amazing job. She is great with communication and always responded to our emails within 24 hours. She also accommodated our work schedule and was able to set up an appointment on a weekend for the tasting. The sample menu that they have is pretty extensive but not exhaustive. We chose some food items from their menu that went along with a Greek theme since we were married in Greece. We also requested to see if they could make some foods that we had while we were there. We showed Harmony pictures of the foods we wanted and told her what was in them and what they tasted like. She said she would forward it to the chefs to see if they could do it. We were so pleased when she emailed us to let us know that they were able to recreate the food items...and the food was perfect (if not better!) The guests at our party were in love with the food and kept raving about it. We also had a bar service set up where we provided our own booze and they provided the rest (bartender, glassware, ice, sodas, juices, etc.) The bar service was excellent and the guys working behind the bar were on point. I never saw a long line for drinks and everyone was happy with their drinks and the service. We are very, very pleased with the services that they provided (and at a very reasonable cost!), and will not hesitate to use them again to cater for any large parties that we may have!

Apparently they…read morehad a lot of preorders but since people hadn't started to arrive to pick them up, they kindly offered to get my order going. I tried the bento box with chicken. This was essentially the chicken teriyaki bowl with a few additions - egg roll, dumpling, Jax roll, salad, and edamame. It cost $18.45 plus tax. I received a buzzer to let me know when the food was ready. After waiting about 20 minutes, I went to the truck to see if the order was nearing completion, and I found that it was ready. The buzzer battery apparently had died. When I got home, I opened the bag and saw a very substantial portion of fried rice and chicken. Unfortunately, none of it was seasoned. The rice was very bland and mushy and the chicken had no flavor. There was a tiny amount of teriyaki sauce drizzled on top. This was very disappointing. The five piece roll was fine as well as the small salad. There was no edamame offered but a small seaweed salad was included. The egg roll that was advertised was actually a small piece of an eggroll and it was accompanied by two fried dumplings, which were tasty. My experience here wasn't the best, but perhaps there are better days to visit. I can only assume that maybe they were overwhelmed by the volume of preorders that they received. I thought that for what I got the price was quite expensive. There are cheaper and more flavorful options for bento boxes in the area.
