We had chef Mike for our Valentine’s Day dinner for myself and my husband. From the beginning he was very responsive with all my questions and made it very easy and comfortable to book with him. Now lets talk about the event experience, from the moment they walked in everything was professional and top notch, we felt like we were at a 5 star restaurant in our own home. From the ambience they create to the music, the food was excellent and the attention to detail was amazing. I will definitely be using Elite Dining experience again and would recommend to anyone who wants a top of the line experience without breaking the bank. Thank you Chef Mike ♥️❤️

Details: Holiday meal (Mother's day, Valentine's day, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - formal • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Thank you Marline, It was an honor to be chosen to celebrate such a beautiful occasion! Valentine's Day is a day to reflect and strengthen the bonds that you have with your significant other. By your facial expression I can see that my Souse Chef & I exceeded you and your husband's expectations! You have personally experienced what we're all about: creating an Elite Dining Experience in the comfort of your own home! Thank you again for the hospitality and kindness that you showed to my staff and I. Chef Mike! Ps..... I heard that the food was amazing... I was in the kitchen cooking it lol! Steak & Lobster with homemade blue cheese butter! I also heard your husband say that "the creme brûlée was the best that he's ever had". Like I always say "Your Kitchen + My Knives = Memorable Moments" Chef Mike

We hired Chef Mike of Elite Dining Services as our personal chef for Christmas, and the experience was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Chef Mike was professional, punctual, and came fully prepared with everything needed to finish cooking and serve our meal seamlessly. Leading up to the event, he spent time consulting with us on the menu and was incredibly accommodating, thoughtful, and flexible with every request. He even created a personalized menu, beautifully printed and brought with him, which added such a special touch to the evening. The food itself was outstanding—expertly prepared, thoughtfully presented, and truly memorable. Everyone left the table completely satisfied, with plenty of delicious leftovers to enjoy afterward. As part of his cleanup process, Chef Mike carefully packed and labeled everything, which was above and beyond what we expected. Beyond his skill in the kitchen, Chef Mike has a warm, welcoming personality and carries himself like a true craftsman. His expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care for the experience made the evening feel effortless and elevated. We couldn’t recommend Chef Mike and Elite Dining Services more highly. If you’re looking for an expert personal chef who delivers incredible food and an exceptional experience, look no further.

What a great choice - our experience could not have been better! Chef Mike’s culinary expertise was a work of art! The taste of every dish was incredible.

Chef Mike is wonderful! He was able to come out to my client's house and do meal prep for the week with less than 24 hours' notice. He was able to use his culinary knowledge to create a menu without me asking for certain things. He truly went out of his way to get everything done. He is very responsive and picks up the phone at all hours of the day. The food looked presentable and tasted amazing!!

Details: Regular meal • 3 - 5 guests • Dessert • Dinner • I'm flexible • Southern • Meal prepared onsite • I'm flexible • My home, venue, etc.
