The Dancing Palate was an amazing experience from start to finish. Within moments of requesting information, I was welcomed by Chef who was warm, straightforward, and ready to help plan our party! He guided me through a great menu off the top of his head based on my ideas, and also offered his full online menu if I wanted any changes. Once arrived, Chef and his son prepared a great meal and serenaded us with stories and songs. Truly a pleasure, and when I'm back in the area I'd love to hire them again! Kudos guys!!!

We hired Chef Paul for a bachelorette party. Everything from start to finish was impeccable. Chef Paul was able to give us options for the menu that all sounded delicious. We went with a Mediterranean menu. The bruschetta was the best I’ve ever had. Chef Paul arrived on time and prepared. It was effortless on our end. Not only was the food delicious, Chef Paul and his daughter Rebecca are great people! It really was a perfect evening and the cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend the Dancing Palate for a private chef experience you’ll never forget!

It was my first chef experience so not sure how to compare it. Food was good, Chef and his assistant were really great and easy to work with and accommodate our needs. Would work with them again.
