We had an absolutely delicious meal - prepared perfectly and with care. Chef Santos was amazing to deal with - pleasant, professional and extremely service-oriented. I would use him again for any event - and recommend him highly! “12 out of 10” said my guests!!

Chef was asked to bring his culinary expertise to our home while we hosted a birthday dinner for our Dad, and boy, it was an excellent experience! Food was delicious and beyond expectations. Chef was professional, very personable and easy to talk to. Shared his life experiences with the group and engaged while he made us a fabulous amuse-bouche (which was a total surprise). Bummed we live so far away, or I’d make it a habit to invite him into our home a few times a year. Thank you for everything Chef!!!

Chef Santos prepared an incredible meal for my bachelorette celebration! The arancini and bruschetta he made as appetizers were absolutely to die for. He followed it up with a delicious chicken Marsala for our main course and a beautiful tart for dessert—everything was insanely good. Beyond the amazing food, he was so kind and accommodating to a couple of my guests’ needs, which made the evening even more special. I can’t recommend him enough!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Dessert • American - formal • Italian • Southern • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
