I was entertained by Chef Daniel. He was born and raised in Italy in the Lazio region. I had talked…read morewith him a bit while he prepared a 36" Paella from scratch in the back yard of a dear friend's promotion ceremony. Although I have heard of Paellas being made by personal chefs or other 'specialty' catering companies, I thought it extremely challenging for Daniel to make it for a client, especially since there was going to be a Chef (me) attending the celebration. He even questioned me as to my credentials . . . I did the same with him. I think it's slightly a Chef thing. I figured Daniel caught on to me at that point when I was very curious as to his final product since Paella is one of the most technically difficult dishes to pull off. Since I had participated in a similar Paella party at one of my camping adventures in our RV, I knew the sequence that Daniel was following. He executed perfectly. I think Daniel also provided a bit of charcuterie as an appetizer, but it was the Paella that stole the show. Daniel even brought me a plastic fork (culinary school all over again) to test the creation as the rice was cooking to sample the flavor, consistency and doneness. BTW, Daniel even had a nice crusty bottom on that paella. Super nice guy. My five stars represents my hope for this company, although this was certainly not a five-star meal; it was however, a skillfully executed dinner party with Chef Daniel at the helm.

Update: After 2 weeks, finally got a response from the owner. Actually the day I posted my original…read morereview the owner immediately contacted me stating that he had a family emergency. He acknowledged all of my concerns and admitted that he should have sent more workers, but just did not have any due to his family emergency. There was no explanation for the service and missing decorations. I was offered a free catering event of 60 people, good for 2 years. I declined the offer and asked for the same value ($800) as a refund. Another week went by without response. When I sent another email advising that it would be my last before i seek legal action, I received a response with an offer of $250 refund. I again declined and counter offered $400 refund to consider the issue resolved. This is half of the catering value they originally offered. The owner declined and again said $250 is his best offer. I unwillingly accepted, just to be done with all of this. In addition the owner also expected us to delete our negative review. He said that I agreed to do this, which I did not. I agreed that I would UPDATE my review to reflect his efforts to resolve our issue. So as unsatisfactory as it is...

We had…read moreso much fun and absolutely loved that we could make such delicious food under Chef's direction.

First let me say that it was hard to find a caterer in San Diego. There were some that said they…read morewould do the event then weeks later they would tell me they were booked. Others would not send a quote once I spoke to them and finally there were some that flat out never called me back. Tonya was very professional and responsive from the start. She also worked with me to plan a unique combination of entrees that met all the dietary requirements I had. I like that she came out a week prior to do a site inspection, meet us and get the lay of the land. Once the day of the event came she showed up 2 hours prior to the guest arriving (as promised) and had everything she needed. Sh was ready on time to serve the meal. We had her team serve a buffet line. Service went well with Tonya calling the tables to get in line. The line moved smoothly. Tonya kept close contact with me throughout the event to make sure everything stayed on schedule. During the event and while there was down time in the kitchen (after dinner was served) she managed to get out on the dance floor for a song or two as well. This really added a warming factor that made her and her team a part of the event. After the event was over Tonya and her team cleaned up all their trash so we couldn't even tell they were there. They left the kitchen clean as well. She boxed up all the leftovers and placed them in the refrigerator. An added bonus was that she cut and served the birthday cake that I prepared for our guest. She also served the champagne and sparkling cider for the toast. I only have two items for constructive criticism. 1) It would be great if Tonya found another method of payment that does not charge a 4% client processing fee as did PayPal. I hated having to pay that. 2) As a client you should make sure and let her know in advance if you want reduced salt or sugar in any of the food items. I thought the chicken was a tad on the salty side but I am the type of person that never adds salt to a meal after it is cooked. I am sure Tonya would accommodate a request like this. I should have thought of this in advance so I am not dinging her for it. Our event was in the backyard birthday dinner at a residence. It was a buffet style dinner with service for 60 people. I would definitely recommend Tonya and use her again.

From the very first email, Tonya was responsive, professional, and incredibly helpful. She crafted a menu for the party and ran with a couple ideas I had. I could tell she cares for her clients and delivering the best service. She scoped out the location of the party before the event and was there early, the set up was beautiful, and she thought about all the details. The best part was THE FOOD! She made a complete breakfast spread and it was absolutely delicious. The French Toast bake was the best we've ever had (so many guests said that too). It was crisp on the outside and flavorful and soft on the inside. She also made this sausage hash that was seasoned perfectly. She served the food to all the guests and kept it warm. The fruit spread was beautiful too! I highly recommend Tonya for any event that you are planning to have! She has the biggest heart and it shows in her food and her company. Thank you for making my boyfriend's birthday so special!

Now that I have your attention- Chef Monique created a fabulous dinner menu for 8 people for my 40th birthday in a San Diego AirBnB! We easily customized a Cali/Italian Fusion menu for dietary preferences (ex: steak vs shrimp, vegan guest) and she made it happen! Everything was served fresh, tasted delicious, each course was lovely, and we've all been dreaming of her dishes since. She was beyond easy to work with, reasonably priced, very friendly, professional, and left the kitchen spotless WITH extra leftovers in the fridge!

Attended 3 different classes so far with more on the calendar. First class was sushi, 2nd class was fresh mozzarella and ricotta cheese, and then today it was Ramen. Really enjoyed the hands-on approach and how Chef Scott explains the science behind cooking things a particular way. He has fancy new sharp knives to make the food prep a cinch. Each 2 person group has their own cooking stations and each person gets to participate at every step of the way. Love making items from scratch as it really makes things taste so delicious and you know what goes into every dish without the harsh chemicals, and artificial ingredients. Highly recommend this class to anyone that wants to have a fun date night and to try something new. Chef Scott is very entertaining and really makes sure everyone has a great time!

Place a special cake for me on top of that, which was probably one of the best chocolate cake/mousse desserts (sorry I don't know what it's called) I've ever had.

Chef Ron pulled off an amazing menu for a group of 14 adults with a wide range of dietary needs…read more (We had a few shellfish allergies, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and pregnant menu needs.) This was for my husband's 40th birthday dinner. I was so excited for each course that I forgot to take many photos. The food was outstanding in taste and presentation. For example, my husband likes spicy food but the rest of us don't like the same extreme level of spicy. I in particular am a huge wimp when it comes to spicy food. But Chef Ron took this information and made a spicy dish that we all could enjoy and it didn't burn my tastebuds off. The vegan and vegetarian guest were especially appreciative that the dishes they were served were not just side dishes, but rather proper whole dishes very similar to what everyone else was eating with some brilliant alterations. All the guests had a great time and raved about the quality of the food, cooking, and presentation, but the way I know for a fact that they weren't just being polite in their words, was that after every single course the plates were practically licked clean. When I reached out to Chef Ron for this special birthday dinner I was looking for something that was restaurant quality and fun and wasn't stressful. Chef Ron checked all those boxes and then some. He was extremely easy to work with on the menu and was beyond professional and fun during his explanations of the dishes. I will be looking for another reason to hire him in the future.
