There is nothing bad to say. Culinary Ace gets stars across the board! Chef Terry was professional and responsive. On top of all that the food was great! He worked with me on the menu and was flexible to help us make my wife's surprise birthday celebration a success. I look forward to working with them again.

Chef Terry is awesome. Everyone at the dinner party was impressed. Chef Terry had a plan for a variety of allergies, and veg/non veg. The food they prepared was great and cleanup at the end of the night was a big plus. Chef told me don't worry about anything and enjoy the party and that is how it went. Thank you.

Chef Terry and his staff showed up early to set up and he and his staff went above and beyond to make my son's graduation party a success. Friends and family raved about the entire menu, every food prepared was seasoned, grilled, and cooked to perfection and the surprised hit food of the night were his roasted oysters! I will definitely hire Culinary Ace to host my parties in the future!!! Thank you Chef Terry!
