It was a good move; she arrived with everything, did all the work and we ended up with a delicious dinner. Meghan offered several different menus and allowed us to mix and match. We chose a seafood menu with three appetizers, one salad, one entree, three side dishes and a gorgeous, burnt carmel birthday cake. I would do this again in a heartbeat and I would definitely hire Meghan. She was easy to work with and has a delightful personality.

Our days started out raving about the food the night before and looking forward to the next dinner. She is a one of a kind gem that you just don't find everyday.

Andrew provided a 4 course (appetizer, salad, entrée, and dessert) meal for 9 girls in a bachelorette. He was extremely easy to work with prior when it came to picking the menu, coordinating dietary allergies/restrictions, and etc. We had a last minute cancellation from one of the girls and he was able to be flexible and adjust accordingly which I am super thankful for! The private chef experience was amazing and I would highly recommend it. He arrived about 4 hours early to prepare the dishes in the Airbnb kitchen, brought some of his decorations to help make the event special, and was so organized throughout the whole event. Each meal was delicious and carefully crafted. And the clean up afterwards was flawless, the kitchen looked better than it did when we first arrived to the Airbnb! Can't say enough great things, thank you Mindful Chef!

They made 4 delicious appetizers they had circulating for the first hour while guests were arriving. I'll include a picture of our entire menu at the end:) I did the seafood paella and the vegetarian one. Both were just phenomenal! Everyone was so wowed by the presentation, beautiful!! They helped with cake service, refilling waters and they cleaned up after themselves very thoroughly.

Chef Tim was the highlight of our son's wedding/elopement celebration party that we had at our home. We had a meeting beforehand to discuss details and plans. This process enabled everything to be stress free. The party went perfectly and Chef Tim and his paella creation was a big topic of discussion among our guests. Everyone said it the best food they ever had at a party. He prepared two kinds (chicken and chorizo and a vegetable version) that were both absolutely divine. Each version of paella had perfectly combined flavors that created an extraordinary compilation in every bite. The guests could also watch him put it all together as all of the food was prepared on site on the day of the party! (Not brought in trays to be heated up!) Wow!!! The flavors were incredible, delicious and beyond words. Chef Tim is a true master chef and gem in our city and his kindness and caring, professionalism and talents and passion will be forever treasured by our family, as he made a very special event the best experience possible. Chef will always be our first choice from now on. We highly, highly recommend Chef Tim!

We're all absolutely blown away by Miranda and our experience with Tahoe Mountain Tapas. Our group…read moreof 8 was fortunate enough to have Miranda's dinner service for NYE at our Incline Village vacation rental. Some standout observations include: - One of our guests had specific dietary needs, including no dairy, and Miranda made dairy-free versions specifically for them. She was accommodating for all our one-off requests and tailored the menu perfectly for us. - All our communication leading up to the event was clear, prompt, and warm. - The grill at our AirBnB wasn't working and Miranda pivoted seamlessly without skipping a beat. - She plated & served everything at the table for us, cleared dishes, and cleaned everything before she left. She did things like refill our drinks, boxed up leftovers, etc. We didn't have to lift a finger for anything from start to finish. - The food was *amazing* and everyone was impressed. The meals were truly 10/10. Of all the activities we did during our group trip in Tahoe, this dinner service stood out as the top highlight. We are so grateful for a top tier dining experience from a friendly, professional team. I can't recommend Tahoe Mountain Tapas highly enough. If you have the opportunity to book her, you have to do it!

I hired Hey Chef to help with the stress of entertaining up to 36 guests over the Thanksgiving…read moreweek. They were scheduled to serve lunch for 21 and dinner for 36 on Wednesday 11/26, as well as 32 for dinner on Friday 11/28. Wednesday lunch was tasty, however the brioche slider buns per the menu were actually regular Safeway rolls, not brioche. 12 for $6.49! The dessert fell short of anything remotely high level. The brownies on skewers with fruit were dry and fell off the skewers. Wednesday dinner was a disaster. I ordered food for 36 people. We only had 32 including 6 kids, so we should have had plenty. We ran out of asparagas 2/3 of the way thru the line. the platter had enough for 12-15 people. The shrimp - one of the two main courses - ran out as well. I will try to attach a picture of the shrimp before anyone touched it! The photo (pre-serving) looks like there couldn't have been more than 40-50 shrimp. The chef told me he purchased 4-5/person. That would have been 180 shrimp! That was an out and out lie. I ate nothing, as we ran out of food. The owner did tell me afterwards that she looked at the grocery receipt, and he hadn't purchased enough. The dessert was not cake as planned. It appeared to be more of the same brownies, and they were not great. Friday dinner was okay. It was a taco bar. The chef put too much rice in the pot, and it boiled over onto our hardwood floor, rice and all. Then lots of wet garbage was put into the trash compactor, breaking it. The food was tasty and there was enough, but there was nothing high-end about it. Since the event, the owner admitted to me that they had never used the chef before. This was a huge mistake to send out an unknown for 3 large, very expensive meals. There was nothing "gourmet" about his preparation or presentation. Also, the owner admitted to me that the chef knew he was going to be short on dinner on Wednesday. He had a 3 hour break between the two services when he could have purchased more food. We believe that we were grossly overcharged for the chef's time. We were charged over 24 hours for his time alone on Wednesday. The food was supposed to be prepared in our home, but most of it was not. I was not presented with the grocery receipts, so I imagine those could have been inflated. With 21 for lunch, and 32 for both of the dinners, I paid $150/person/meal - over $13,000. And when you consider that one of the meals was a taco bar, the price was outrageous. I hired Hey Chef to ease my stress through the week-long holiday with a lot of guests. Instead, I was embarrassed by the shortcomings and more stressed. I expected the owner to handle these issues more professionally and issue a decent partial refund. I was offered a $300 credit towards a future booking! I am disappointed in Hey Chef for not taking responsibility for failing to come close to our expectations. I would certainly not use their services again, nor would I recommend them.

One of my biggest concerns was putting together a menu for 7 people that would accommodate a couple dairy-free attendees + 2 picky children. Amy reassured me she could make this work, and boy... she delivered!

We ALL loved it) - Filet mignon, twice-baked potatoes, and shallot green beans. (Incredible. My husband, a meat lover, declared this the best filet he's ever eaten). Never had I ever thought a dairy-free twice baked potato could taste THAT good. - Individual Chocolate Lava Cakes (need I say more?) It was an incredibly special night.
