If I could give these guys 10 stars I would. We had a private wedding with 35 people and from start to finish everything was perfect. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had and everyone could not stop talking about it. The staff was professional and so nice. Would 10/10 hire them again!

We had an amazing experience with The Phoenix Palate. We were in Scottsdale for a bachelorette and wanted to hire a chef and bartender for the night. They went above and beyond to make our night a memorable one. Not only were the food and drinks great, but they were a lot of fun throughout the night as well. Would definitely hire them again the next time we are in Scottsdale!

We celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary with our 4 adult children and 5 grandchildren with this beautiful meal and the cake of my dreams. Our 4 course meal appetizer: Arancini, salad: Brussels Sprouts and Pomegranate Salad, main: Short Rib with Polenta, dessert: Chocolate Soufflé, & Lemon Cake with Lemon Bavarian Cream. The children had Arancini, Fruit salad & Chicken Alfredo. They ate it all and the 2 year old said it was delicious! This was an amazing experience & I plan on using them for future events. Thank you Alexis for making my day come true and to all your wonderful staff and Chef Kurtis, it was absolutely an amazing experience and the food was so Delicious!!!
Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • I'm flexible • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

The Phoenix Palate was great! The planning process was wonderful. They were extremely professional and sweet. Our molten lava cake dessert was amazing and everything was plated beautifully. They left our kitchen and house spotless. Wonderful to work with!!

From first contact I was impressed with the amount of time that was spent going over menu options and the ease with which I could substitute items for the picky eaters in our group. The food and flavors were fantastic, the service exceptional and I would not hesitate to hire the Phoenix Palate again and will be recommending them to others. My husband's 60th birthday party was a huge success! Special thanks to our chef Shawnee and our server Daniel - the whole group enjoyed you both along with the food, drinks and service.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All of our pricing is customized, we don’t believe it is fair to charge a flat rate across the board, some of our menu items cost more than others, some require more labor and some are simple to put together. We believe in fair pricing and to work with everybody’s budget within reason. We believe that we are more on the upscale side, and that’s because we have high standards for the chefs on our team. We aren’t the “cheapest” option. But you’ll get a quality experience from start to finish.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step is setting up a consultation call to see what they are looking for, then based on our conversation we will assign a chef to custom design them a menu. Once we send the menu they make their selections. When selections are made we send a contract and invoice to secure their date.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My chefs have either gone to culinary school or have worked in a kitchen for 10+ years.
