Chef Robert did an incredible job for my bachelorette dinner at an Airbnb my group was staying at. When other plans fell through with a different chef, Robert got right back to me and stepped up for our occasion! He was expeditious with his response time and always exhibited a high level of professionalism. The dinner he prepared for us was phenomenal and one of the highlights of the trip! He went the extra mile and cleaned up the kitchen once he had completed our meal and dessert as well. If you are in the area and want a fantastic dinner prepared with creativity and care, I would look to hiring chef Robert!
