Everything was supposed to have been cut and prepared in advance at what Anthony said was his commercial grade kitchen in Redlands. Nothing was prepared at all. He had to use my kitchen for everything. Food service started over an hour and a half late. Poor quality ingredients, quiche pie crust being low grade store bought, which reflects everything else that was finally served. He ran out of food almost immediately. He was very unprofessional laughing and talking with others loudly in my kitchen while he was running so late with putting the food out. It was an awful experience for me and I would never use him again or recommend him under any circumstances. I could have done better myself and saved $8,000! And all this followed by ghosting me to even apologize. DO NOT USE THIS CATERER.

From the first time I reached out to Chef Josh, the service was first-class and never wavered. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly flexible. The food was superb down to the last detail. We had gyoza and an outstanding scallop crudo to start. The "Nigiri Tour" was flavorful, but the "Toro Nigiri Tour" was off the charts delicious. We also had the Japanese Wagyu skewer--each bite was full of unique, fantastic flavors. From setup to cleanup, the entire process was flawless. Everyone enjoyed the food and the hospitality.

It was our first time and they made us feel extremely welcomed and invited. That's a HUGE green flag in my book. You want to be around people excited about their job and what they do. When I went to pick up my friend's kid, he was very excited for what he cooked. I got to try some of the pizza he made and honestly, the crust was better than a lot of the pizza joints out there and the crust I've made before. He's in the older class (pre teens and teens) and seemed to enjoy cooking with them. Afterwards, the front desk told us about the different classes and programs. We got the recipe for this week and past weeks so we can try them at home as some of the items caught my eye. He loved the class and will be going back. If your kid has an eye on cooking and wants to learn, I'd definitely sign them up here. It's always good to have some hands on help to ask questions and learn. Wish they had more classes and we missed out on sign ups for the summer. It's $40 a class or 4 weeks is $145 I believe. 90 minute classes. Since they already have the ingredients and everything, it's worth the price.

From the moment he arrived until the final bite, Chef Tony's talent and passion for food shone through in every dish he prepared. The Mexican Corn Salad was an absolute revelation. The vibrant colors and fresh ingredients made it a visual delight, and the combination of flavors left me craving for more. What a star dish! The balance of sweet & tangy was simply divine. Similar goes for the ceviche shots! It was undoubtedly a delightful start to an extraordinary culinary journey. Next up was the Lobster Bisque, and words fail to capture its richness and depth of flavor. The velvety texture was a personal favorite and was added after a menu-tasting session with Chef Tony. It goes to show that he takes clients' opinions seriously! Each spoonful was like a symphony of taste, leaving me in awe of Chef Tony's expertise in creating such a heavenly soup. Then came the pièce de résistance--the Ribeye steak with lobster tail, Creamed spanich, mac n cheese, with chimichurri sauce. The perfectly cooked sous vide Ribeye steak, tender and bursting with succulent flavors, paired beautifully with the luscious lobster tail. The combination was pure indulgence and a true testament to Chef Tony's skill in elevating classic dishes to extraordinary heights. I had halal guests, so Chef Tony made sure to source the meat from Halal markets. One of them reported that this is the best steak of his life. And let's not forget the mac n cheese--it was the ultimate comfort food, with its creamy, cheesy goodness providing the perfect complement to the main course. One guest licked the plate :) Lastly, the Tres Leches cake was a delightful finale to this remarkable culinary journey. Moist, decadent, and infused with just the right amount of sweetness, it was an absolute delight for the senses. The rum-rubbed berries were an absolutely fantastic touch, and alcohol versions were prepared specially for our Halal guests. Chef Tony's attention to detail in crafting such a perfect dessert was evident, and it was the ideal ending to an unforgettable dining experience. Beyond the phenomenal food, Chef Tony's professionalism and attention to detail were truly commendable. He was punctual and organized and ensured that each dish was presented beautifully. He arrived 7 hours early and spent the whole day preparing. His warm and friendly demeanor added to the overall enjoyment of the event, and his passion for his craft was contagious. If you're searching for an exceptional private chef who can transform your event into a gastronomic adventure, Chef Tony is the perfect choice. His culinary expertise, creativity, and dedication to providing an unforgettable dining experience are unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Tony to anyone looking to add that extra touch of magic to their special occasions. Thank you, Chef Tony, for making my medical school graduation party an extraordinary and memorable event. Your talent and passion for cooking truly shine through, and I look forward to experiencing your exceptional cuisine again in the future.

EVERYTHING was delicious! I had contacted Alex 4 weeks prior to the event and expected to an outline of everything 2 weeks prior. He did just that! He was extremely easy to contact since I had so many questions. We scheduled the tasting 2 weeks before the event and HONESTLY, everything was soooooo good! It was hard to eliminate a dish from the event! Alex and his staff arrived 30 minutes early, which I really appreciated. They set up everything ready to go before guests arrived. They were ready to serve exactly when they said they would be. He catered Italian Food for a 100+ party. Most importantly, the food - Pesto Penne, Shrimp Alfredo, Baked Ziti, Roasted Vegetables, Roasted Potatoes, Bread Rolls - was incredibly DELICIOUS. Pricing was great and Alex was able to work within my budget. In addition to providing wonderful dishes, he provided plates, napkins and silverware for our guests. Since we had our own Bar, we did not need him to provide drinks or cups (though he did offer as well!). I will definitely recommend him to all my family, friends, and EVEN ACQUAINTANCES!

I contacted them and immediately someone called me back, I believe it was Michael. He told me he was leaving the office but he would get back to me in the morning. He did! He sent me questions about what I wanted, the location, and what I wanted as far as my menu. I was in the dark and I told him that budget meets classy is what I was going for, but I didn't want seafood. He emailed some great ideas, but then 2 out of the 3 appetizers had sea food. I told him about it and I said he could leave one. He said he would send me updates and pricing. From there it took a turn, he was not getting back to me. Finally when I did call him he was apologetic and said he was busy with other events/ clients. I said no problem, but I needed to make sure everything was going to be taken for my event. He said he would revise, 2 weeks go by and I heard nothing ( I tried to be patient and give him the benefit of the doubt). Finally I ended up calling and said don't bother getting back to me. I was disappointed because I really was looking forward to using them and being apart of those great reviews.
