Chef Leon was very professional. The food was absolutely amazing. My guests were loving the food and telling me how delicious the food was. Chef Leon is very easy to work with and will work with you on food choices and budget. He doesn't make you feel any pressure and is very helpful on what food would be good for your event. I would definitely hire Chef Leon again for any future events I plan.

Selfless Caterers exceeded my expectations . I booked them for a Dessert tutorial session for a Bachelorette party . Chef Leon created a menu that was customized to fit my theme and desires. He remained in constant communication during the weeks prior to the event. He and his wife who is also his business partner were extremely friendly and did everything from set up to clean up . I did not have to lift a finger at all ! His dessert tutorial was very informative and hands on . He even provided us with little gift boxes . I am extremely pleased and even more pleased that my guest enjoyed the event . I will recommend him to all my family and friends !

Details: 6 - 10 people • American • Baking - desserts and pastries • No dietary restrictions • Adult (over 18) • Beginner • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Monsanto catered my kid's graduation party and everyone loved the food! Chef was extremely responsive and suggested some menu items. He delivered the food promptly and was extremely professional throughout the process. I highly recommend Selfless Caterers!

My family and I cannot say enough positive things about Selfless Caterers. Chef Leon reached out to us right after we contacted him inquiring about services. He then fit us in for a private dinner for 2 right away. Throughout the entire process, he was extremely professional and always available via phone. On the night of the private event, he arrived early and got started working right away. He was extremely personable and catered to the exact requests/preferences we had. Each course was more delicious than the last and he was very attentive to food allergies, etc. Chef cleaned up everything impeccably and there were plenty of leftovers for the following days. His warm, inviting personality made for not just a wonderful dinner event, but a beautiful experience that will be cherished forever. We plan to use Chef Leon in the future...many times and highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking to host any type of event! Thanks Chef Leon!
