Southern raised girl here. Initially I was like " how southern can he be... from Napa?"…read moreI was pleasantly surprised. Chef David was selected for his southern cuisine. We started with the crab cakes that were amazing. Light and full of crab meat. Then the salad, yummy and filling. The main course, fried chicken with a light crunchy batter, lobster Mac n cheese and asparagus. No lie, I was full after the salad. The main course was so good and then there was bread pudding with pecans. Everyone ate their plates clean. So the next morning, guess what I had for breakfast; leftovers which were better than ever. Chef David was professional in his cooking and serving. He arrived set up, served, cleaned and my kitchen looks nice and clean. He was so nice and the food is so good Great job Chef David

He and his assistant Christine were extremely professional, the food was absolutely delicious, the presentation was delightful and everything went according to plan. Me and my entire party would recommend Chef Andrea without hesitation and are already talking about doing this again. We started by being surprised and delighted with warm fresh baked breads paired with yummy homemade salami. Then we moved to our first course of mixed organic greens with goat cheese mousse, pears and walnuts with a delicious Italian balsamic vinegar. Chef came out and showed us our 2nd course of his fresh handmade agnolotti dal plin (pasta pockets stuffed with pork, beef and veggies in a sage brown butter sauce) before cooking it and, once cooked, grated fresh cheese over it. Our third course was boneless organic chicken stuffed with porcini mushrooms wrapped in pancetta with perfectly cooked carrots and green beans and roasted potatoes. Dessert was a delicious chocolate Italian custard with amaretti biscuits paired with homemade strawberry mint sorbet. Every course was described to us by Chef with tidbits of information about Italy, which was very informative. The service was Michelin star quality, all women were served first and the food was fresh and piping hot. It was clear that Chef is very passionate about his food and the stories behind it. And, my kitchen was even cleaner when they left than it was when they arrived and we didn't have to lift a finger. What an amazing experience!

Chef Adam prepared an outstanding 5-course birthday dinner for our group of 11. Every dish was…read moredelicious. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish - thoughtful, professional, and accommodating of different dietary restrictions and food allergies. He helped me select the best wine pairings for the courses, walked me through the menu choices, and day of timeline. On the day of the event, Chef Adam arrived on time, immediately fitting the atmosphere of the evening, and created a relaxed and enjoyable experience for everyone. He and his assistant were kind and flexible. When our outside dining experience started to get too cold for the diners, they happily moved us inside for dessert. To top it off, they left the kitchen spotless at the end of the night. Would gladly book Chef Adam again for a future event!

Adam Small and his team were recommended to us by a family member who also used his services for…read moreher wedding. We could not be happier with the recommendation as the appetizers and entrées were absolutely stunning -- both in flavor and aesthetics! Our biggest difficulty was choosing dishes from his diverse catalog of offerings since they all sounded delicious. He was also very accommodating and made various adjustments to account for particular food allergies that some of our guests had (without compromising on flavor at all). For appetizers, we chose: - Pepper-Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna (Seka Hills EVOO, Sicilian Pesto, Herbs) - Ratatouille Tarts (Puff Pastry, Seka Hills EVOO, Parmigiano Reggiano) - Pistachio Flatbread (Onion, Burrata, Honey, and Chili Oil -- this one was a extra-huge hit with all guests) For dinner, we started with a Local Harvest Salad (Farm Vegetables, Fruit, Vinaigrette, Cheese, and Nuts -- plating was particularly beautiful for the salad), and had three entrée options: - Wagyu New York Steak (Imperial American Wagyu, Roasted Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, Potato Galette, and Red Wine Jus) - Signature Duck (Mary's Crusted Duck Breast, Hind-Quarter Confit, Potato Cake, Charred Vegetables, and Duck Jus) - Roasted Butternut Squash with Cannellini Beans (Charred Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, and Saffron-Rosemary Broth) Throughout our entire wedding and afterwards, guests were telling us how impressed they were and that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! He and his team arrived right on schedule, set up (including silverware and plates) cooked and served outstanding food, provided extremely attentive service, and then cleaned up, leaving the kitchen absolutely spotless (while also deftly navigating a brief power outage!). We cannot recommend Adam Small Cooks highly enough! His food, attention to detail, and service are truly next level. Thank you again for making our wedding so special!

I personally have never had a chef cook for a group in my home so I was not sure exactly what to expect. Well, Bryan blew my mind. He set up everything, cleaned up everything and made the MOST amazing food I literally have ever eaten. My guests were blown away and still cannot stop talking about it. I did not have to ask him for one thing, which was amazing to not have to think about the food and/or cleaning on my special day. He even fixed the cake I got from the bakery that was a disaster. I would HIGHLY recommend using his services and can't wait to go back to Sonoma to hire him again - and again - and again!!!!

We hired Bryan for our smallish (65 person) wedding in Sonoma last Fall. From the first call we had…read morewith him, to our last walk through of the venue, Bryan was creative, thoughtful, organized, and calming. We wanted food to be a highlight of the evening, and we worked with Bryan to come up with a menu that brought our favorite cuisines together for our family-style meal. We had an oyster shucking station, late night food-fired pizza, and a 5 course dinner that people are still talking about months later. Highlights included Moroccan street corn, and braised short ribs. As a bride who wanted to eat everything our guests got to enjoy -- I made sure to sit for every course. On top of being a wildly talented chef, Bryan helped us bring together a whole team of servers and bartenders to make the night seamless. It was important to us to work with passionate people who we could keep as part of our lives even after our wedding, and we cannot recommend working with Bryan and team enough.

He interacted with my family, sharing wonderful stories of his experiences in the culinary field, gave us cooking tips and just made the evening so special. Sam is well known in the culinary world, but he is so humble, friendly and gracious. But most importantly, this man can COOK!! We felt like we were in a MIchelin rated restaurant, but it was in my home!! To make things even more spectacular, Sam served us each course explaining what he had prepared and then to top things off, he cleaned up everything and left my kitchen spotless.

50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration…read more We recently decided to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary with a family dinner party and to mark the occasion with something truly special: hiring a private chef for the very first time. This turned out to be one of the best decisions we have ever made. Immediately after contacting Chef Camille Jeanty, her calm professionalism and genuine warmth immediately put us at ease. She took the time to understand our vision for the evening and even did a walkthrough to familiarize herself with our home and setup. She then created a stunning menu that perfectly matched our preferences, including a separate menu for our young grandkids! The evening was magical... every course was delicious with a real standout being the handmade Pappardelle Alfredo which prompted several requests for seconds! It was such a wonderfully relaxed, unhurried meal ... just what our "Italian vision" had imagined! What truly set this experience apart was Camille's individualized touch offering her bespoke dinnerware, beautifully curated flower centerpieces from a local Napa Farmer and even including a lovely, printed menu for each of our guests. It is also worth mentioning that Camille's well-trained staff were extremely personable as well as attentive! Our guests were raving, and we felt so pampered and celebrated. If you are considering a private chef for a special occasion, we wholeheartedly recommend Chef Camille Jeanty and her wonderful staff. Truthfully, they felt like family, and we gave them 5 Stars from start to finish! They helped turn our golden anniversary into a golden memory!
