I can't recommend SMO table and Sami Odetallah enough! The food was awesome and the service was wonderful. I think they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. My mother in law had an amazing 80th birthday (she actually cried from happiness). Thank you to SMO! If you are looking for a private chef, this is the one. read more

I recently had the absolute pleasure of hiring SMO Table to cook a sensational meal for my parents' 50th anniversary, and I cannot express how thrilled I am with the entire experience! This was my first time working with a private chef, and everything exceeded all expectations. First and foremost, Chef Sami's professionalism and attention to detail is outstanding. He patiently worked with me to create a personalized menu that captured the essence of the occasion and my family's tastes and preferences. He was always accommodating and offered lots of options to satisfy our requests for the meal, including those of some very picky little ones. The evening of the event, Chef Sami arrived with his crew and immediately got to work prepping the food while we relaxed and enjoyed drinks. We hardly noticed that they were there, but if we had any questions or someone wanted to see the pasta-making up close, Chef Sami graciously paused to answer our questions and share his love of cooking with us. Chef Sami's demeanor is warm and friendly, and his passion for food is palpable. It was evident that he not only possessed exceptional culinary skills but also a genuine love for creating memorable dining experiences. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The SMO Table team handled everything with utmost professionalism, seamlessly orchestrating the evening while allowing us to relax and savor every moment. Our glasses were always filled, but we didn't notice their presence. They worked diligently behind the scenes, ensuring that the kitchen remained spotless throughout the evening. The food itself was outstanding! Family who had just been in Italy commented that the pasta was perfection. I heard "this is the best lobster I've ever had" from several guests. Even something as simple as the sauce for the shrimp cocktail was elevated to something divine by SMO Table. Beyond the culinary expertise, what set Chef Sami apart was his genuine warmth and personable nature. He engaged with our guests, sharing stories and insights into the dishes he prepared, creating a delightful and interactive atmosphere. It felt as if we were being served by a friend who was genuinely invested in making this milestone celebration truly unforgettable. If you have a special occasion or simply desire an exquisite meal, do not hesitate to book SMO Table! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience. Thank you SMO Table for creating a culinary masterpiece that added so much joy and flavor to our parents' 50th anniversary celebration!!! read more

WOWOWOWOW!! Words can't describe what a memorable experience the team at SMO table made this for me. It is a blessing and a curse. Blessing - Every single dish that was served was made with the highest quality ingredients. That combined with excellent service is just a recipe (pun intended) for success. Curse - They set the bar SO HIGH for every other restaurant or caterer I go to moving forward that I could only compare it to THIS experience and just pray it comes close. My friend stumbled upon this little gem as we were looking for a way to celebrate her birthday in a big way and mannn I'm glad that she did. From the moment the team arrived they were super friendly and asked us a variety of questions to make sure all of our needs were attended to. As we relaxed in the back of the house enjoying our mini pool party, they would come out with different platters that just got better each and every time. I guess this is what it feels like to live like royalty! Overall, I couldn't recommend them enough. -The Fashionable Foodie read more

SMO table was outstanding. We had a family reunion in Orlando for 20 of us. He prepared tenderloin/filet as well as 3 appetizers, Homemade pasta, salad, dessert. Many in our group said it was the best steak they ever had, also saying they have previously dined in some expensive restaurants. He and his staff were friendly, on time, cooked exactly what we ordered. Prepared and cleaned up afterward, served us and even made drinks if we wanted. I would highly recommend SMO. read more

Our family of 24 had a big reunion in Orlando and stayed in a house together. We wanted to do something very special for our last night and were put in touch with Sami at SMO table. They came out and brought dishes and all the accessories they would need to prepare & cook the meal at the house and it was phenomenal! They were very accommodating some food allergies as well. Not only did they prepare and present the food to us, but they washed the dishes, cleaned the counters, swept the floors, packed everything up and left the kitchen spotless! They could not have been a nicer team and we all recommend them 100%. read more
