My husband and I recently took a trip to Sedona and decided to treat ourselves to a dinner with a private chef. We are so glad we did. From the moment we reached out to The Golden Hour, we immediately felt taken care of. We had a phone call with Chef Ana to discuss dates, times and expectations. Together we created the perfect curated meal.
When the day came everything was wonderful. The presentation was beautiful and the food was delicious. You must try the espresso crème brûlée. It is AMAZING!!! It’s been a few days since our date night dinner and I can’t stop thinking about it!!!
We will definitely use The Golden Hour again on our next trip to Sedona

Chef Ana prepared a culinary masterpiece for our family dinner. Each course was right on target for the taste we expected, and the individuality of the food as requested. She is a brilliant chef - here's why: My husband hates mushrooms, but he devoured 4 of her stuffed mushroom appetizers, and was hoping for leftovers, AND I rarely order any type of steak because I love my steak cold in the middle and as rare as it can be without eating it raw. Chef Ana seared my filet perfectly - it was exactly what I ordered! The entire meal was superb. Her demeanor was personable, respectful, cheerful and attentive. Being the hostess, I thrilled at not having to do one thing, including cleaning up the kitchen. Chef Ana left my kitchen looking like no one had been there. The only trace was the minimal leftovers and the delicious scent of the meal. I highly recommend Chef Ana - my in-laws were so grateful for the private meal - it was hands down the best gift ever! Thank you Chef Ana - we are lifetime fans!
