We've had Chef Al cook for our family 3 times now and every time has been such a treat! The food he…read moreprepares is simply amazing--some of the best food we've ever had. Everything is always cooked perfectly and the flavors are next level. He works together beautifully with his wife who makes awesome desserts. It is a full service experience from start to finish--preparing a menu, cooking food on site at your home, and then they take care of all the clean up when it's over. Not only is Chef Al an amazing chef, but he also is a pleasure to talk to, he's engaging, and he's happy to answer questions. Our kids love him too! If you're looking for an amazing private chef to deliver the ultimate luxurious dining experience, look no further. Chef Al is your guy!

WOW what an incredible dinner experience!…read more We provided Chef Al with a rough idea of our dinner preferences along with a couple food allergies and he created a stunning menu in no time. He was also able to make adjustments as needed. The private dinner was absolutely phenomenal and delicious. Chef Al is no ordinary chef, you can tell he has some upscale culinary training and experience. The food was so delicious we didn't want to stop eating lol. Ahi with an incredible soy orange glaze over crispy wontons and Chilean sea bass cooked to perfection were just a couple of the highlights from our dinner. Chef Al is so great this was actually the second time we booked him! And his encore was just as incredible as the first private dinner he did for us last year. Super friendly and professional - would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for the perfect private dinner experience.

The BEST all-around meal we've EVER had... and we are hard core foodies! Chef Melissa is professional and truly an expert in the kitchen mixing wonderful flavors and textures to make the meal outstanding. Working with Chef Melissa was super easy before we arrived to the island. I communicated with her via email with her responses to all emails easily within the hour. She is VERY attentive to her customers and communicates very clearly her needs and expectations on coming into the home to cook. I cannot wait to hire her again to cook for us the next time we're in the area! You will NOT be disappointed! Trust her and she will create the most exquisite menu around!

I reached out by email and was directed to the company's website. After looking through it, I…read moreshared some constructive feedback because, in my opinion, it didn't seem customer-ready. Instead of being open to the feedback, the response was immediately defensive. When we spoke, I was also surprised by how expensive the pricing was. While everyone is free to charge what they believe their services are worth, customer service should still be professional and welcoming. Unfortunately, I was met with an attitude from the very beginning of our conversation, which made the entire interaction uncomfortable. Because of that experience, I decided not to book. My family has hired private chefs for every vacation we've taken in Florida, and we've always had wonderful experiences. First impressions matter, and this one left me feeling completely turned off before we even had a chance to discuss the menu or the event.

Every dish was incredible--from the fried deviled eggs, potstickers, and fried shrimp with goat cheese to the perfectly cooked miso sea bass, wasabi mashed potatoes, and green beans. And to top it all off, a decadent dark chocolate cake with homemade vanilla bean ice cream! Chef Bruno not only prepared everything to perfection, but he also took the time to explain each dish, some of which were his own family recipes. The timing of the meal was flawless, and he left the kitchen even cleaner than when he arrived. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience, I highly recommend Chef Bruno Wu!

We both learned so much- how to butterfly chicken breasts (albeit need lots more practice), make a Caesar dressing, and. Chicken Carbonara. Also learned the importance of the ingredients- type of oil to use, fresh pasta, etc. Wish I had done this years ago for my sons (and me)!!!

I did a lot of research in finding a private chef, and I found him different in the fact that other chefs had other people come to the house whereas David appeared himself and gave that personal touch - in my research, the other chefs would bring the food and have some of their staff serve it, whereas Chef David prepared everything fresh and cooked it to perfection- It was all done in a timely manner, and he not only prepared, but cleaned up afterwards - I will always use him in the future and can't wait to plan another event for family and friends. Thank you, Chef David.
