I normally reserve a table at our favorite restaurant to celebrate. This year I decided to hire a personal chef cook for him. I am so happy I called Chef Josh! He did not disappoint. He offered a great 4 course meal at an affordable price, Artfully designed plating with great presentation. The menu was very creative and the flavors were blissful! The produce came from his personal garden giving a freshness that parallels a 5 star restaurant. Chef's Josh and wife Intan, absolutely delighted our family with amazing service!

We did a four course menu that included an incredible Boston cream cake by Intan. Everyone in our party was blow away with the food + service.

While planning the menu, Josh was very communicative and easy to work with. I would highly recommended Josh + Intan for any celebration, dinner party or wedding!

Last October, we hired Chef Bri Murray of Culinary Experience's for a marketing dinner, and she…read moreabsolutely knocked it out of the park. From the start, Bri's warmth and energy made the evening special--she even hiked her gear up three flights of stairs without missing a beat! By the end of the night, I'd made a new friend. Her food? Incredible. None of us could stop eating long enough to take pictures! The bourbon peach chicken was perfectly moist, and the red snapper was my personal favorite. Her baked brie with figs was so inspiring I recreated it for Thanksgiving. We had an international group at the table, and everyone went back for seconds (and thirds). Our team of 10 couldn't stop raving about Bri and the unforgettable experience she created. Next time we're in Florida, we're calling her again. If you're looking for amazing food and even better company, Chef Bri is the one to hire.

FINALLY made it in last night for dinner and I'll have to remember this place is here more often when I need to get out of the house. They've changed their service style recently to a counter service. You order at the counter, but they'll bring it to your table. With a small number of tables inside and a couple dotting the walkway outside, it's not hard for them to find you. I decided on the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich (with fries) and a sweet tea. If you want the full plate, you can 'upgrade' to beans, rice & roasted veggies for $3 more. The pork was plentiful and the sauce added a nice sweet (with a touch of) heat to the meat. The fries were golden & crispy. And forgo the ketchup - use the Dr. Bill's Savory Sauce on the table. I don't know where they got it, but it's delicious. It is definitely a no frills type place, but that's fine by me. PV can use a good dose of no frills places.

I have only tried them once so far but so far, so good. I only discovered them as a delivery…read moreservice today and decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed. I built a bowl for my first order and it was delivered quickly, still warm, and the young lady who delivered it was incredibly friendly. The prices are reasonable and definitely helps bunk the "eating healthy is too expensive" argument for delivery food. For comparison, a burger or pasta dish from another local delivery service would have cost the same but been horribly unhealthy and likely flavorless. This was definitely a winner for me. I look forward to trying them again in the future.

For Valentine's Day this year, I decided to mix things up a bit and hire a private chef to cook…read moredinner for me and my wife. After some back-and-forth with several prospects, I decided to go with Chef Walter Busconi Lage or "Chef of the World" as he bills himself. He created a few different menus based on our preferred cuisines and we worked together to mix and match some of the elements of each to come to a three-course meal I knew we'd both enjoy. Arriving promptly at 4pm for a 6pm service, he was very friendly and accommodating. Chef Walter brought all of the necessary equipment to perform his craft, and right around 6pm we sat down to our first course of a goat cheese souffle. Impossibly light and rich at the same time, it was a fantastic starter. It came with some mixed greens on the side that were dressed with a flavorful vinaigrette. Our entree was surf and turf: bison ribeye with lobster, served with potatoes dauphinoise and asparagus in an orange zest hollandaise. The bison was cooked to perfection, with a delicious compound butter that helped with the natural leanness of bison. The potatoes were rich and yielding, and the asparagus was tender but still with a nice snap and the creamy hollandaise made it a joy to eat. The one miss on this course was the lobster, which was overly soft and didn't add much to the plate. For dessert we were served a cognac creme brulee with whipped topping. This was the best creme brulee I've ever eaten; the hint of cognac really set off the other flavors and it was not overly sweet. While not inexpensive, Chef Walter is a man who knows his craft. He was friendly, hospitable, punctual, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to work with him again in the future.
