The food and experience with the Mis En Place team could not have been better. No contest! Dan helped me curate a menu that fit the varied palates of our crew and was light yet fulfilling- a request to end a packed day of wine tasting. The entire group of 8 of us were blown away by the taste, quality and presentation of the food. The chopped salad was unforgettable- salad memorable? YES! I want that dressing recipe. The chicken was moist and savory with perfectly crisped skin. The charred broccolini and fingerling potatoes slow roasted in duck fat, bomb!! And wow- the lemon grapefruit tart was so Tasty. It was perfectly tart and not too sweet- the ultimate pleaser to end an outstanding meal. Jonathan was our chef and he was an executional genius. He not only brought the menu to life, but he was meticulous in the preparation and service. I saw him checking the temperature of the chicken frequently and with attentive precision, hence the exceptional result. He arrived on time, was dressed like the professional chef he is, had all of his ingredients neatly arranged, having been prepared and measured beforehand, accommodated our small chat as we moved in and out of the kitchen (albeit on the wined up side) without missing his own beat, served us graciously, and left the kitchen immaculately cleaned when the meal was complete. He’s the real deal! This meal was unforgettable and I wil not hesitate to use Mis En Place for my future catering and culinary needs. Thanks Jonathan and Dan! All the best to you guys.

Dan the owner of mise en place cooked an exceptional meal for our family. We opted for 2 starters then a 4 course dinner. Everything was remarkable. The halibut was unusually good. Cooked perfectly which isn’t easy with that type of fish. Thank you Dan and the mise en place team!

Grant - thank so much for the kind words. This sort of feedback is so meaningful for us. I’ve already shared this with Renee and the entire MEP team. We look forward to cooking for you again. Dan

We hired Mise en Place and Dan’s team to do a birthday dinner in Mill Valley. Dan exceeded are expectations for what we wanted. I had to plan last minute and he was still very accommodating and flexible to what we wanted on our menu and dietary restrictions. The dinner itself was delicious, and for our group of 10 made more than enough food - highlights were definitely the ceviche, the marinated pork, and roast chicken. Also shoutout to the lemon herb green sauce was also ridiculously good we wanted to pour it on everything. Thanks Dan so much for such an amazing birthday dinner, we really enjoyed having you and will definitely hire you again.
