Chef Pete provided one of the most memorable portions of our weeklong vacation to Napa. Along with his second, Mieka, the meal and service were outstanding. When I was searching for a private chef, I sent 3 or 4 inquiry emails and Pete’s was the only one who timely (same day) responded. We talked about a menu and then agreed on a time and date. That is all we had to do. Pete and Mieka showed up at our VRBO right on schedule with everything including place settings, cocktail and wine glasses and cloth napkins. Our family of seven sat outside and watched the setting sun while being served champagne, cocktails and appetizers. The service was seamless. The food was amazing. Pete and Mieka were very attentive and interactive to and with our party. While we enjoyed dessert and our final glasses of wine, Pete and Micka were busy cleaning the kitchen. When we said our goodbyes, the kitchen was as clean and proper as it was the day we checked in. No issues whatsoever. We highly recommend Chef Pete based on his punctual responses to inquiries, superior service, quality and taste of the meal and finally pricing. Would definitely seek out Pete on another adventure to Napa!

With a minimum of fuss, Chef Paul created a delicious dinner for our wine group celebration. He and his assistant arrived on time and worked in perfect synchrony.

Pete was great to work with! He REALLY knows his stuff when it comes to catering. He made suggestions to make the event better for the guests and also was available to me by phone, text and email. Pete and his team catered my wedding in Sonoma. I was an out of town Bride from San Diego and had a hard time selecting vendors. Pete gave me references to call and also made a trip to meet with us at the venue months before the wedding. He and his team did a great job staffing the event. All the wedding guests raved about his food. He also was so easy to work with and created a fun menu for us filled with the Bride and Grooms favorite entrees from all types of cuisine. He is knowledge, honest, and makes delicious foods. I highly recommend Pete and am sure we will work with him again in the future to cater other parties. Thanks Pete!

Pete and his staff were absolutely wonderful to work with. They catered our 100-person wedding, and we are still receiving compliments on the amazing food--many people told us it was the best they'd ever had at a wedding. One of my clearest memories of the night was when the groom brought me a plate, and I first bit into the food Pete made--it was the first moment of quiet I got, and I was blown away with every bite, while the 2-year-old ring bearer sat beside me eating the perfectly seasoned fish with his hands. Pete's staff helped us with setup and breakdown as part of their package, and they went out of their way to be kind, courteous, extremely professional, and helpful. They reduced the stress of our wedding by about 80%, and they made it so lovely and enjoyable. After the ceremony, the bartender (part of Pete's staff), even ran out to an adjacent meadow to check on us and bring us drinks while the groom and I had our portraits taken. When it came time to cut the cake, I forgot to bring a cake server, and without hesitation, Pete handed over his very expensive Miyabi chef's knife to me. Those little details were really special to us. Our wedding was a week ago, and my mother is still talking about how helpful and kind Pete's staff was. We will never forget how wonderful everything was, and we absolutely recommend Chef Pete and his staff to anyone who wants excellence and consummate professionalism at their event. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
