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!

I wish i could like everything about Chef Cedric! Work Quality, Value, Professionalism, Punctuality, Responsiveness, all A++. 1000% would hire again.
We hired him for our baby shower because we wanted to ease our work load the day of and he was amazing. Him and his team did the set up of the table, so you literally only have to provide tables and chairs/ table cloth, and the rest his team did. They also cleaned up, and took all the table ware back with them so there was no real clean up for me, other than rolling the tablecloth and throwing it way. Our space was kind of small but the team worked around us and was amazing.
Food, AMAZING!!! Of course, he gave me options to choose from before the event, because i couldn't eat anything raw he was able to accommodate my needs. Everyone was shocked at the quality of the food and how delicious it was. We, are a bunch of yappers but the food was so good the room went quiet when the Beef Wellington came out. Mind you, we had plenty of other food to nibble on while guests waited for food so you know it was good.
All in all, Great service and food. Efficient, which is a huge quality trait for my older parents (if you know you know), overall just a great experience. If you have a small get together or even a large one, ours was around 25 people (kids and adults), you should definitely try Chef Cedric.
Details: Shower (baby, bridal, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Italian • French • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

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!

I can’t say enough good things about Chef Cedric and his team. I was looking for someone to cater my small wedding ceremony of 12. Chef Cedric was friendly and responsive from the start. He drafted a menu for our needs and sent over everything that was included in the price with no hidden or surprise costs. We requested halal meat and he went as far as to send over receipts of the halal butcher shop. On the day of, he ensured everything was set up beautifully and all our guests’ needs were met. It’s very evident that Cedric loves what he does and does it exceptionally. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Highly recommend him for your chef needs!
