We are Active Duty Military and we hired Chef Kev for a private event we had to celebrate a promotion. Kev was always quick to respond and make arrangements for anything we needed. He was prompt on the event day and set everything up exactly how we wanted. Food and Service was amazing. I cannot speak highly enough about him and his business. Would highly recommend and will probably hire him for any future events we have.

Can you give more than 5 stars? He was outstanding. His communication was excellent setting up the event. I thought his food was exemplary, the short ribs were one of the best meals I've ever had. More importantly, I received rave reviews of the food from all my guests. And he left that kitchen spotless. Great experience!

Chef Kev D was a pleasure to work with!! He was incredibly responsive when I was initially looking for a personal chef for my event and remained in contact about the menu throughout the planning process. He easily accommodated increasing the number of guests a few days before the event without issue. On the day of the event he arrived right on time, was incredibly efficient and most importantly, cooked us a truly delicious meal!! Everyone was raving about it for weeks. I would definitely hire him again and would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a personal chef!!

Chef Kevin was excellent! His food was delicious, the portions were excellently sized, he was very professional, punctual and delivered a great presentation. His wine pairing recommendations were spot on with the menu courses. I highly recommend Chef Kevin for a special event. This was the perfect in-home celebration for my husband’s birthday dinner. I would definitely have him back.

I can't say enough about Chef Kev. Far and above anything we expected. In the middle of this pandemic I wanted to celebrate my wife's birthday at home in a special way. I tried a few other Chefs that didn't work out. Coming down to the last day I tried my luck with Chef Kev. He responded within an hour. We were able to put together the project in less then 2hrs. The menu fit the vision perfectly, food was amazing, plating immaculate and service all the way kick ass. If you want a Personal/ Private Chef that's going to take fine dining to an engaging delicious experience then Chef Kev is who you need. Know that he's a Chef first who loves his craft with a totally fun personality and a gift in hospitality. You're looking for an Executive Chef for your event? Stop here. The only thing I was upset with is why didn't I make him my first choice!
