We had Vivian prepare a 5 course meal for nine people for my husband's 70th birthday. We had tenderloin crostini for an appetizer, lobster bisque, salad, shrimp and crab stuffed grouper over risotto, and baklava cheesecake for dessert. Vivian served and described each course. Everything was beautifully prepared and delicious. Then she cleaned up and left us to relax and enjoy the rest of our evening. The whole experience was such a treat. From the beginning, Vivian was very professional, responsive and fun to work with. We highly recommend her, and will use her again when we are back in the area.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - formal • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Vivian was great. Completely professional and yet amazingly creative and flexible with the meal. We had GF people and an 8 person crowd including 3 kids. She made them homemade chicken nuggets and handmade French fries which they loved. Our spicy tuna tower (sushi style tuna) was amazing. We had delicious goat cheese and watermelon salad and then grilled local fresh swordfish. The spices were great. She was amazing with the kids. My granddaughter wants to be a chef like Chef Vivian when she grows up! Thank you Vivian.

Vivian and her team made our wedding go very smoothly. The food was excellent! They provided extra services such as cleaning up dishes and breaking down the table decorations. That saved me and my husband hours of work. They were very profession and personable. I would definitely hire again.

Make sure you keep your options open before choosing this person for any services. I was going back-and-forth with her about an event I had the next day and all of a sudden I’m blocked. At first I thought her phone died so I called from a different phone and it went right through. Thank God I didn’t put all my eggs in one basket and was able to get someone else to do the job. I just had to make sure it doesn’t ruin someone else’s plans in the future. Very bad business and very unprofessional buyer. Beware.

On The Go Gourmet's reply
Thank you for your feedback! I understand you're disappointed that I chose a definite client. I didn't block you; I simply recognized you were negotiating instead of accepting the given price. It doesn't reflect unprofessionalism; I value my worth.
