I contracted Chef Sesean to come to my home and cook an elevated meal for 16 women for my wife's 40th birthday party. Everything about the experience was fantastic.
It started before the event: Sesean partnered with me in thinking through the menus with real care, then presented me two options, both of which looked great. He then helped me rent beautiful dishes and flatware, brought a sous chef and servers (who were awesome) and was fast and responsive with texts leading up to the event.
When the event came, my wife and her friends raved about the food. We ended up with a salad, raw fish appetizer, lamb with cherry glaze, and dark chocolate dessert. It was all awesome (I was able to taste some too and can confirm: it was fantastic). It was exactly what I wanted: elevated without being stuffy. Honestly 10/10, and fulfilled everything I was looking for in bringing a private chef to the house instead of going to a nice restaurant. It was also all plated beautifully.
On top of all of that, Sesean himself was a joy to be around, as was the rest of his team. His server, So, was particularly warm and great. When you end up having people like this in your house for half a day (to say nothing of functioning almost like hosts at the party), this matters.
I'd recommend Sesean gladly for anyone else doing anything like this, and if I have occasion again for an event like this, I won't shop it at all; I'll just reach out to Sesean.

First time with a private chef and I gotta say Chef Sesean and his assistant made our anniversary dinner one of the best experience to date. The service was excellent. The food was so good and the professionalism was top notch. This is going to be my go to Chef for each and every one of my future events.
Thank you Chef.
