WOW!!! We had the pleasure of having Chef Albert and his amazing team cater our intimate wedding…read morereception at home for a total 16 people. From start to finish, the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. Chef Albert made the process of choosing the menu super easy and was more than happy to accommodate all our preferences. The meal began with two appetizers--hamachi crudo (melt-in-your-mouth fresh) and bacon-wrapped asparagus (perfect savory flavor). The broccoli cheddar soup was rich and creamy followed by a panzanella salad. The highlight of the evening was the 8oz filet mignon, cooked to absolute perfection--tender and juicy. To end the night, we indulged in a crème brûlée. I had never done anything like this before, and my now-husband and our family have been raving about the food and experience. If you're looking for a private chef who delivers above-and-beyond service, do not hesitate to book this team. They truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

We were all very happy with the Chef Daniel's performance and gourmet execution. Each course he presented was delightful. The Chef provided a cohesive and very delightful fusion experience while catering to both Vegan and non-Vegan requirements. I would definitely hope to engage him again for our next trip to the area. Throughout the entire process, Chef Daniel was both responsive and very professional. He provided detailed menu suggestions and incorporated our feedback into the end product. He arrived on time and left the kitchen cleaner than it was when he arrived.

Chef Matty provided meals for our three day company retreat, and not only did he come through with…read moresome really good cuisine throughout (don't miss out on his Mediterranean!), he delighted with some really nice surprises along the way (no spoilers here). He also made sure he took good care of the one vegetarian in our crew, as well as being very attentive to some food allergies we had in our group. His pricing was fair, and he was super prompt and flexible. Our comms were a bit hit or miss as we dialed in details a couple months before the event - but once we got to within a week or so, and certainly as we were going through the event, his comms were on point. He provided a bartender on our first night, and that was probably the only place there was room for improvement, as the bartender wasn't very personable, and left without saying goodbye or cleaning up after himself. We'd definitely use Matty again next time we're out in the desert!

The chicken was chicken legs covered with (bottled) BBQ sauce, the baked beans tasted like they were out of a can. the ribs were tough, not fall off the bone good. No clean up, though he said he would be by the next morning to clean up. The chef is a bit crazy....I did not want to write this knowing he could retaliate. If he shows up at my door again, I am calling the police.

I am delighted to offer my highest recommendation for Brother's Brunch & BBQ Catering. I recently…read morehired Trevor to cater an 80th birthday champagne brunch, and he, along with his assistant Ethan, exceeded both my expectations and those of my guests. The food was abundant, delicious, and beautifully presented. The variety of choices was exceptional, and the made-to-order omelets were truly a highlight of the event. The wide selection of fresh ingredients allowed everyone to customize their omelet exactly to their liking. One especially thoughtful touch that impressed everyone was that, after placing an omelet order, the hot dish was personally delivered to guests wherever they were seated. Trevor and Ethan arrived promptly at 8:30 a.m. for my 11:00 a.m. party and immediately began preparing everything from scratch. They carefully cleaned and plated fresh fruit, arranged an assortment of breads, and created a stunning brunch display. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and organization made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. At the end of the event, they left my kitchen spotless. My friends were so impressed that several are already planning a BBQ gathering just so we can have Trevor cook for us again!

He was so thoughtful and helped me thru this whole process that I'm knew to. Everything was delicious and elaborate! He took the time to make sure everything came together just right. I want to say I seen a complaint against him as I was getting ready to write this review. I believe the lady was angry at the organization of the company and took it out on this angel of a chef. Shame on her, I feel like she was just disappointed and kept her nagetivity towards the chef. There is no way his food is bad like she is trying to say, sounds to me like she wanted free food. If you need a chef with the fingers and soul of an angel chef Julian boudreaux is the guy for you! Please let him host your next event!

Okay that is fine so we went ahead and booked her. .All her invoices stated Gratuity Not Included, so we gave her tip in cash the first time and the next 4 visits she said just pay me the tip at the end. Three days before our last dinner she sent an invoice which now she added a New line item of 22% gratuity. She asked my husband for the last invoiced to be paid within 1/2 hour of getting here. We had 8 guest and my husband said we will Zelle you or Venmo or PayPal on the tip, after we go over all of the invoices, she said No and I will not leave until I get it and went and sat at the barstool until we paid her 22 % nonnegotiable . She was very rude and unprofessional in our opinion, with all our guest here she did not care. Also, lots of adders to our invoice which were not expected.

We've finished all the leftovers and are craving more. It was seriously spectacular! We showed up with all the standard wedding catering challenges. Large party, dietary restrictions, tight budgets, big ambitions and a desire for everything to be *perfect.* Merilee walked us through the entire process with calm professionalism, talking us through options, listening to our ideas and sharing her extensive expertise. We narrowed it down to two equally delicious sounding menus and made the final call after an AWESOME tasting. Every single thing we tried was scrumptious! We left that night genuinely excited to share this feast with our guests and full of confidence that the final event would be a success. But the wedding exceeded even those stellar expectations. The food, presentation, service and staff were all simply flawless. It's no surprise that Merilee was recommended by our wedding venue, our welcome party venue and every local wedding planner we interviewed. Mojave Monaco is both beloved and respected by everyone who has had the pleasure of working with them. They are consummate professionals who treat everyone involved with real consideration, who take tremendous pride in their work and are committed to delivering excellence in absolutely every respect. Plus they are just straight up lovely folks. If you get the chance, hire them immediately. We would again in a heartbeat. Thank you guys!
