This was a gift, so I didn’t experience it myself but my Dad (the birthday boy) said the food was “sumptuous” and the dessert had his three favorite food groups: chocolate, ice cream, and raspberries. My mom said that the food was good and the Chef was “gracious and had a fun fun personality.” So that sounds pretty good to me. She also said, “I’m trying to watch this show, are we done now?” So... 5 stars.

Milestone birthday dinner for 7. What a fantastic night! Chef Michael collaborated on a four course meal that was top notch. A few highlights included: perfectly cooked siracha spice shrimp, amazing prime filets, with a picture perfect medium rare cook to a delicious halibut prepared with a smoky cream sauce. Everything was prepared to perfection with a great dose of Southern hospitality and the kitchen was left immaculately clean. Chef Michael comes highly recommended, and deserves the highest of praise. All the great reviews are spot on and he was a pleasure to have in our kitchen for the evening. It was like having our own private chef's table! Thanks for giving us a night to remember, Michael!

Michael communicated with me throughout the process. He is personable and extremely organized. He showed up on time and ready to get to work at our rented home in Chandler. He brought his own cooking tools and was able to prepare our meal from scratch as we watched and talked with him. He was quite resourceful as we discovered several burners on the stove did not work! He was able to complete the meal without any problems using the available tools. We enjoyed learning about his path to his chosen profession and his family. The group of 8 loved his meal of filets and lobster. His desserts were bread pudding and lava cake (to die for)! He is an amazing young man and highly recommend him for your intimate dinners with friends. I even asked if he is available for a flight to the Dallas area to help with dinner events for our clients here. He was more than happy to book with us here! If we make it back to this area I will utilize his services again without hesitation! We all enjoyed the evening thanks to his personal and professional touches. Thanks Michael!
