    Chef Peter is the real deal. I contacted him to cater our firm's holiday party this year. From…read morefirst contact to the two months leading up to the event, he was responsive and kind. He worked with me on a menu and he delivered my vision. Even with extreme circumstances (another vendor broke our garage door 24 hours before the event) Chef Peter and his crew took it in stride. They were on time and hauled their heavy equipment in and got straight to work. He was basically cooking/grilling on one side of our building (back patio), having to run back forth to the interior kitchen and sink. He and his crew worked SO hard that night. They are very professional. Every plate was perfect, they cleared the tables and made sure everything was spotless when they left. I also hired Jacob the Bartender (he works with Chef Peter) and WOW! Crafted cocktails and excellent service. Every person who was late to my party was sat and had a drink in their hand in less than a few minutes. Jacob was a pleasure to work with. Great bartender. I could not ask for a better duo for the night. Also big thanks to Tomas and Erick - their waitstaff. Amazing night they pulled off. I'm a perfectionist. Type A host. I'm very particular on how I throw my parties and Chef Peter surpassed my expectations & more. My entire firm will not shutup about how amazing the food and service was. The party was a hit and I believe it was because of the food & bar. I will 100% hire this team again for future events.

He and his friends are…read moresuper into sports and steaks, so I started searching Yelp and came across Chef Philly Phil, who shares the same passion for food - especially steak! I couldn't recommend him more for your special dinner and evening. Among other reasons why: Communication: He was incredibly responsive and thorough from day one. He answered my questions and helped me prep everything from the food to the kitchen set up to make the night a success. Very professional and helpful. Kid-friendly vibe: Chef walked into a wild house with 6 fifth grade boys watching the Ram's championship game. He was so positive and there for it all! He adjusted his tip sessions during commercials and kept the boys super engaged even with so much going on. FOOD: He and Tiffany prepared creamy mashed potatoes, homemade herbed butter, multiple cuts of steak and fresh broccoli - all of it was INCREDIBLE. The flavors were some of the best we've enjoyed. Thank you, Chef Philly Phil and Tiffany!

I received a response quickly and he was totally up for it and created a silly (but delicious and well rounded!) menu for the evening. He and Tiffany served the themed foods as we played the movie and even our youngest kids sat and ate each course. Everyone had so much fun and Phill and Tiffany were so easy to work and get along with. Would definitely use them again and recommend to everyone.. Thank you Phill and Tiffany for the great memories!

He created a beautifully curated menu featuring a Belgian endive salad with apple, almonds, blue cheese, honey, and mint, a flavorful curried butternut squash soup with coconut milk, pepitas, and chives, a perfectly cooked rosemary and thyme roasted chicken with honey-dijon Brussels sprouts and sweet potato mash, and the most comforting baked apple crumble with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Every dish was absolutely delicious and plated with stunning presentation. Chef Charlie even provided printed menus for each of us, adding such a thoughtful touch. Beyond the food, he was warm, conversational, and engaging--clearly putting intention and heart into every detail. We would definitely use his services again and recommend him without hesitation. A perfect anniversary dinner!

    This review is long overdue!…read more Eric was a joy to work with. He was prompt with communication, and provided perfect recommendations for my private, birthday party dinner. His menu selections were top notch, and my husband and I were thrilled with the outcome. We did 3 appetizers before the 4 course meal began. We did the elote (street corn) appetizer, tuna tartare, and lamb chop. Of note, I don't eat lamb at all, but Eric's Lamb chop was AN AMAZING FLAVOR BOMB! I appreciated that him and his server showed up prepared with all of their supplies (and small plates for serving). For dinner, we had the heirloom tomato and burrata salad, followed by the char grilled octopus, then the Australian Wagyu steak with creme brûlée to finish. The menu was superb, Eric presented his gorgeous plates with detail and attention, and (of course) they cleaned up everything after! This was a PHENOMENAL experience, and we are already looking to book Eric again for my husband's birthday! Eric, you are an artist and amazing chef! Thank you for offering this wonderful experience and making my birthday memorable!

    Chef Dora Presents was fantastic to work with for our event…read more We needed catering for a bat mitzvah with about 135 to 150 guests, and we had some very specific requirements. Everything had to be dairy free and gluten free, and because our daughter has severe Celiac Disease, it was critical that extra care was taken during food preparation to avoid any cross-contamination (just try to find a caterer that will agree to that...not so easy!!) On top of that, they were very attentive to guests with additional needs, including allergies, kosher preferences, and vegetarian options. We had a buffet set up for the kids and a plated dinner for the adults, which worked out really well. Chef Dora and Stuart were both great to work with. We connected with them months ahead of the event, met multiple times to plan, and also had a private tasting, which helped us feel confident in our choices. They were extremely professional throughout the process. During the event itself, both of them were present and even helped with small coordination items that came up, which we really appreciated since we did not have a day-of coordinator. The food itself was excellent. Sometimes gluten free food can be hit or miss, but that was not the case here at all. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. Some standout dishes for us were the kalbi beef tacos as an appetizer and the turmeric chicken with lime rice and vegetables. Both were incredibly good, and we were happy to have leftovers to enjoy afterward. We would absolutely recommend Chef Dora Presents and would gladly use them again in the future.

    They catered a dinner for us last year. It was terrific. We had another event coming up and tried…read moremessaging via their website and left a phone message. No reply. Since publishing this one-star review, Chef Dora contacted me to resolve my dissatisfaction and did just that. She was fully accountable for not responding to my inquiries rather than offer a boatload of excuses. Given how wonderful the meal worked out the first time we used her services, I don't want to scare other potential clients away. That's why I upgraded my experience to a three-star rating.
