Cedric prepared a dinner for our party of 6 adults and 3 children and it was wonderful. The experience was seamless, from planning the menu (which was spot on for our tastes / preferences), arrival at our Airbnb and set up with his equipment, to the actual meal service. Cedric was so kind in his interactions with the kids, who were very interested in his work. Most importantly, the food was incredible. He had sourced produce from the farmers market and prepared a delicious dinner that included homemade focaccia, fish and steak. The table setup was lovely and even had menu cards. We could not have been happier with the experience and would highly recommend Cedric to anyone planning a private dinner.

We hired Chef Cedric and his assistants for a party of 13 people. It was amazing! He was extremely professional, fun, and the food was divine. First, he works with you on coordinating a menu in advance for your party. Second, he arrives on time and before you know it your kitchen has transformed into a French Restaurant, with amazing smells of all the dishes tempting your taste buds! Third, when the party is over, your house is left as clean as it was before he arrived. All my guests were asking, where did you find this guy? The answer, of course, is Thumbtack. I would give him the highest recommendation, and would certainly hire him again for my next party.

I had the pleasure of having Cedric prepare dinner for a small group of friends at my home and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. He was extremely responsive in planning the menu. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of incredible flavor, and truly restaurant-quality. Everyone was raving about the food all evening and the next day, especially the home made bread!
Cedric was professional, attentive, and made hosting completely stress-free, leaving the kitchen spotless at the end of the night. If you're looking for an unforgettable private dining experience, I highly recommend him!

Chef Cedric made my husband’s birthday celebration unforgettable. Every course was exquisite, beautifully presented, and timed to perfection. Beyond his culinary talent, his attentiveness was unmatched—he seamlessly adapted to our family dynamic, holding service whenever someone stepped away with the kids so everyone enjoyed each dish together. A phenomenal chef and consummate professional.

An absolutely phenomenal experience; the event was for my mom's birthday, and we had about 10 people total. I highly recommend Chef Cedic, who was great to talk to throughout the dinner. Wonderful personality, very professional, and, of course, great tasting food!
