We absolutely loved our dinner! Emily did an amazing job of preparing our birthday feast. She was a pleasure to work with to develop the menu all the way through delicious dinner and then clean-up afterwards. The birthday girl was thrilled!

We booked Emily for Mother’s Day lunch. She was easy to communicate. I made many changes and she was more than accommodating. Emily and her crew did a great job. The food was amazing!!!! The the crab cakes were delicious, the salad was great, the salmon and filet mignon was so on point and of course the cheese cake was amazing. This was my first time getting a personal chef and Emily guided me through the process. I definitely recommend her for her services!!

Emily and Lex were simply amazing! They made all the difference to our small wedding ceremony. Both of them were extremely friendly and we loved hanging out with them. The food was incredible. We did a family style dinner as well as brunch. That brought fresh ingredients and shoved some amazing tiramisu as well. Lex made us some mezcal cocktails. All in all, I’ll remember that weekend for a lifetime.
