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!

Chef Daniel recently gave me one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. For my birthday,…read morehe prepared a custom four-course meal for my husband and me in our home, and it was truly incredible. To start, he created the most amazing charcuterie board with bacon-wrapped dates, fresh fruit, and a wonderful selection of meats and cheeses. We also enjoyed a delicious caprese salad with buttered toasted baguettes, followed by flavorful chicken masala served with rice, roasted veggies, and naan bread. For dessert, he made my favorite: yellow cake with chocolate frosting, made even more spectacular with fresh whipped cream and berries. Beyond the food, Daniel is so personable and fun--he created a warm, relaxed, and entertaining atmosphere throughout the evening. He even cleaned the kitchen afterwards, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I will never forget this experience, and I can't recommend Chef Daniel enough if you want to make your event truly special!

She's incredible at working with a picky eater and has gone above and beyond to accommodate very specific nutritional needs without ever making it feel complicated or stressful.

Her communication is excellent, her food is always delicious, and she puts so much heart into her work. I can't recommend her enough if you're looking for a personal chef who really listens, adapts, and delivers.

He was super easy to talk…read moreto and walked us through not only our catering questions and needs, but he was extremely knowledgeable and provided his guidance throughout our entire wedding planning journey. We had so many calls with Jeff and he was extremely patient with all our questions. We took a chance since Jeff did not offer food tasting but I can now say that all his first star reviews are true! Our guest LOVED the food and raves about it. We decided on tray past appetizers and a buffet dinner. We also included a meat carving station. Throughout the entire process, Jeff recommended what he thinks our guest would like and what options complemented each other based on our choices. We also LOVED the food and the tray past appetizers we chose were so good! I wish we were able to have more! Hopefully more of my friends will host weddings and I can attend another wedding that Jeff caters! We highly recommend Jeff and he was soo amazing to work with. Thank you so much Jeff for such an amazing night!

Brad is absolutely incredible. We hired him last minute for our pandemic NYE dinner and he did an…read moreincredible job. Brad was kind enough to get a COVID test prior to the event in an effort to be as safe as possible. First he got a false positive on a rapid test, he was extremely honest and forthcoming with the information- even tried to suggest other chefs. However, thankfully, his PCR came back negative and we were able to have his delicious food after all! The food was absolutely incredible and he even shared a recipe with us so we could make it again. I would 1000% hire Brad again! PS the image below was just the starter! I tried to take photos of every course but epically failed because when I finally remembered, the food was already devoured.

The quote request included what types of food we were looking for and a desired price range. Chef Brad's menu hit home with us and he was very responsive. We messaged back-and-forth without any delay to iron out any questions. His communication skills and attention to detail ensured confidence that we were talking to the correct chef hire for our birthday celebration. He arrived on time and ready to cook. Chef Brad provided elegant dining ware, cook ware, and was able to engage in conversation while he cooked. My wife had many questions regarding technique, knife types, and preparation for cooking that he answered diligently. The food, the FOOD, was amazing. The flavor complimented the portion size and the presentation was artistic. Afterwards, he cleaned and left no trace (beyond some Wagyu beef , and some of the deconstructed s'mores). We highly recommend Chef Brad Banan for any event.

I cannot say enough great things about OC Toddler's School, Ladera Ranch! Both of my sons attended…read morethe school, simultaneously (the younger in the toddler group, and the older in the preschool group), so I can attest to consistency and great care across the entire school. The school provides three meals a day, with quality and organic foods, which is a huge help for working parents. In addition, the school ensures that both groups' activities are engaging and developmental for the appropriate age. The school director, Maria, is very dedicated and caring; she not only runs multiple schools but oversees the teachers and works with the kids through an individual approach, knowing their unique talents and strengths. Most importantly, the school takes its time to ensure that the personnel and staff are qualified and truly care about the kids. Moreover, Alla who owns the daycare, listens to parent's concerns and takes action! This was the most important aspect to me, and sets OC toddlers apart from other daycares. We will truly miss this wonderful school, the caring teachers and amazing management!
