From the first phone call, Chef Ty was a pleasure to speak and work with. We spoke several times before the event and he went above and beyond to satisfy all of our event needs. He was on time, the food was served hot and delicious, and he left our kitchen as clean as he found it. THE FOOD - We had four passed around small bites during cocktail hour. It was all absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend the apple and blue-cheese turnovers! I think about them often. The Lamb lollipop was crazy good. The shrimp appetizer was great as well as the mushroom one. Dinner courses were presented so elegantly and tasted as good as they looked. We began with a fabulous pumpkin soup. It was honestly the best pumpkin soup I've ever had. That was followed by a tasty root vegetable salad. We then had Filet Minon over risotto with a demi glaze sauce over it. Wow! It was truly spectacular. I HIGHLY recommend Chef Ty for any special intimate dining experience you are thinking about. Our party was of twenty three people. He made it a wonderful and memorable evening for us. Thank you, Chef!‍ amazing experience!

This review is long overdue!…read more Eric was a joy to work with. He was prompt with communication, and provided perfect recommendations for my private, birthday party dinner. His menu selections were top notch, and my husband and I were thrilled with the outcome. We did 3 appetizers before the 4 course meal began. We did the elote (street corn) appetizer, tuna tartare, and lamb chop. Of note, I don't eat lamb at all, but Eric's Lamb chop was AN AMAZING FLAVOR BOMB! I appreciated that him and his server showed up prepared with all of their supplies (and small plates for serving). For dinner, we had the heirloom tomato and burrata salad, followed by the char grilled octopus, then the Australian Wagyu steak with creme brûlée to finish. The menu was superb, Eric presented his gorgeous plates with detail and attention, and (of course) they cleaned up everything after! This was a PHENOMENAL experience, and we are already looking to book Eric again for my husband's birthday! Eric, you are an artist and amazing chef! Thank you for offering this wonderful experience and making my birthday memorable!

He carefully crafted each dish and we thoroughly enjoyed the complexity and fine taste of his top-notch French cooking. He paced the courses perfectly, explained each dish beautifully,, cleaned the kitchen when he was done --in short, he cared about every aspect of our experience. His policies and costs were fair and clearly stated upfront, with no hidden charges. Complimentary extras included custom menu cards at each place setting, fresh-from-the-oven homemade baguettes, and a referral, if requested, to a sommelier for wine pairings. It's extraordinary to celebrate like this in the comfort and privacy of your own home. We wholeheartedly recommend Chef Yoann and plan to have him at our house again.
