This was a birthday gift for my aspiring chef son so he was involved in the whole process. Gabriel was very patient and low key.

We both learned so much- how to butterfly chicken breasts (albeit need lots more practice), make a Caesar dressing, and. Chicken Carbonara. Also learned the importance of the ingredients- type of oil to use, fresh pasta, etc. Wish I had done this years ago for my sons (and me)!!!

So I booked Vesh Catering in January, we did a tasting with their employee and everything was…read moreincredible, we were so excited about this. Months down the line I reached out again to confirm small details and when they needed guest count by, which resulted in receiving a phone call from Patty Vesh. She told me that that employee I was originally working with no longer works there, there is new ownership. By the way Patty was speaking, it was very obvious that there was some kind of animosity going on with this change- which is incredibly unprofessional. As someone who works in hospitality and event planning myself, I know for a fact that anytime there is any management changes/company changes, your customers are NEVER supposed to notice. The service should be so incredible that we never even notice that wasn't who we were dealing with originally. This unfortunately was not the case, and Patty and her staff had everything to do with it. Moving forward, after we provided headcount, my fiance paid our remaining balance, accidentally over tipped because he did not realize it was included in the bill. So we reached out to Patty to explain and ask if it could be refunded as we don't mind tipping but we couldn't double tip. Patty ended up refunding both tips, even the 15% that was already in our contract, then called my fiance to tell him we never should have paid it, her employee was not supposed to charge that, and that would not be nearly enough for her staff. When I was told, I thought surely there was a miscommunication. As I was doing my research into our contracts before I called to clear it up myself, Patty emailed me as well and told me the same thing via email- please see screenshots. I asked for kids meals, included that in my guest count, they didn't bring them, and the staff was rude when our guests asked about it. The staff served themselves massive amounts of food AS THEY WERE MAKING THEIR OWN PLATES- and then denied my guests second servings. A bridesmaid literally overheard the staff say in spanish "we gotta give the guests less food" IN SPANISH- thinking nobody would hear/understand them. They had massive amounts of food packed away for themselves. If my guests ate everything they wanted and there was leftovers, I would have given them the extra food with no problem. It was the fact that they didn't even ask, and skimped my guests with themselves in mind. They were rude and greedy. I will tell everyone I know to save themselves the aggravation and avoid this place for any event, ESPECIALLY A WEDDING. The food was great, but they are not the only ones with good food. Please see screenshots below. The original email from May 8th was me confirming the small details & it was sent to the employee we originally were dealing with - which is when Patty called me. I also am including where I asked for kids meals that were not brought to the wedding. To continue to be fully transparent, I am adding in screenshots of apologies and offerings to make the situation right. Where we appreciate the apology, they did not ruin our day, but they could have so it's not accepted. Genuinely, I hope this never happens again but based on their insincere apologies and lack of accountability, I can almost guarantee it will. First of all, we live states away from where our wedding was so a dinner is not even possible for us, even it was it would never ever make up for the way these people acted on my wedding day. I also want to add that the more guests I speak with, the more terrible things I hear about how the staff treated them. It's disgusting honestly

How many good things can I condense into one review about Chef Alisa and her husband, Alex? I…read morereached out to Alisa by simply searching for a 'private/personal chef' on Google. She was one of the first few chefs in the Houston area that popped up on my screen and I decided to do some more "research;" and by "research," I mean I searched for her on social media platforms to see pictures of her dishes before contacting her...Come on, we're all guilty of it. lol To my pleasant surprise, Chef Alisa was one of the winners on The Food Network's "Supermarket Stakeout" which I thought was a pretty cool thing to have on her resume. :) So of course, naturally, I contacted her to check out her prices and menu. Now, by no means am I accustomed to having a personal chef in our home, but to celebrate a special occasion, I thought it would be a fun experience and a great "date night" for my husband and I. My review is strictly based off of my first experience having a chef come to my home to cook for me and the communication between Chef Alisa and I throughout the whole process. From the very beginning of getting into contact with Chef Alisa, she was extremely prompt in her e-mail responses and very transparent about her rate and any additional costs. After reviewing other chefs in Houston, I decided that I wanted Chef Alisa as our private chef to celebrate a special occasion with my husband, and after that, she sent me a menu with several delicious selections for each course (i.e., appetizer, salad, main dishes, desserts). I think choosing just one option from each course was the hardest part about this whole process, I wanted to try them all. During the selection process, I e-mailed Alisa back and forth a few times asking if I could make small changes here and there (e.g., sub an appetizer, or add a protein), and each time I heard back from her, she was timely in her responses and tactfully offered her professional recommendations. What I liked about Chef Alisa was that she was helpful and respected any accommodations or changes I wanted to make to the final menu. To give you an idea of some of the changes, I asked for, Chef Alisa recommended an appetizer, a salad, main dish and dessert; whereas, my husband doesn't like salad, so I asked if we could have two hot appetizers instead. Chef Alisa was accommodating and made two hot appetizers for us to replace the salad and added a protein to one of the dishes she normally serves as a main entree. While at the store, she even accommodated when I wanted her to change one of the proteins (last minute). Her ability to be flexible and accommodate her clients made her really pleasant to work with. After making my selections, I had to pay 50% of the total cost to Alisa to secure the date and then on the day of, I would pay the rest as well as any additional costs (e.g., groceries). Additionally, Alisa asked for a picture of my kitchen so that she could work her way around the kitchen with ease on the day of her arrival. On the day of, Alisa and her husband Alex (her "sous chef") came over about 3 hours before I wanted our meal served (appetizers by 6:15pm), and she started to cook up a storm as if my kitchen was her kitchen all along. I got to know them as a couple while she was cooking and Alex was prepping and it really felt like I was just chatting with friends. They're a really sociable couple and Alisa's food turned out amazing. The entire meal was served perfectly well-timed, and they were attentive to our needs. The icing on the cake was that there were no dishes for me to do at the end of the night! They left our kitchen cleaner than it was before they came over. :) If you're looking for a fun date night or even a get-together with friends, hiring Chef Alisa for a special occasion will be a treat.
