Thomas K. says, "Hands down the BEST decision we made for our work event — Kaila’s Kitchen & Cocktails and Confections was a game-changer. We recently hired Kaila for a large office event, and I cannot recommend her enough. From the first conversation, she was professional, organized, and actually listened to what we needed. But what really stood out was how much passion and care she puts into every single detail. The food? Absolutely incredible. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor — not your average catered meal. The sliders, pasta, and desserts were a huge hit. People were going back for seconds (and thirds), and all I kept hearing was, “Who catered this?!” — That’s when you know it’s good. But it wasn’t just the food — Kaila offers the full package. From customized cocktails to creative dessert displays, she takes your event to another level. It’s rare to find someone who handles both the savory and sweet side of things, and does it all with this level of quality. On top of that, working with a small, local business owner like Kaila made the experience feel personal — not like dealing with some big, corporate catering company where you’re just another order. If you’re planning an office event, party, or honestly any gathering — do yourself a favor and book Kaila’s Kitchen / Cocktails and Confections. Your guests will rave about it, and you’ll look like the hero for making it happen. Check out her work here: https://makailamekdeci.wixsite.com/kaila-s-kitchen — just a heads-up, she books fast for a reason."See more

Chef Fifi was absolutely Amazing! My guest enjoyed every meal (2 dinners & 1 breakfast) prepared! This chef was punctual, efficient, responsive, and inclusive!! I would Highly Recommend Chef Fifi and when I visit St. Petersburg again, I will most definitely choose her services!

Chef was fantastic! We had a large group with a variety of dietary needs and whimsies and Chef was loved by all. Breakfast or dinner, Chef provided freshly selected fruits, vegetables and proteins so we were able to enjoy our group without going out for meals all of the time, yet not have to do the work ourselves! Made for an extraordinary time. Chef and his team were prompt and flexible, always professional. 10 thumbs up!

Chef Frank is all heart with what he cooked for our celebration of a love one’s 50th. Considering the event fell on Father’s Day, Chef went over and above to serve as a fantastic surprise meal. I still could taste how savory everything was just by thinking about the feast. Definitely recommend Chef Frank 100 percent.

Chef Eli was fantastic, can’t recommend enough! He cooked dinner for our group that was in town celebrating a bachelorette. Planning everything ahead of time was very easy. Day-of, Chef Eli brought everything he needed and made the most delicious and filling dinner. After dinner he cleaned everything up. 10/10 !

We had Chef Cheryl prepare a 5 course dinner for 6 people for our small business holiday party. From appetizers to dessert, every dish was stunningly prepared and incredibly delicious. And Cheryl added some personality to the experience that was a perfect complement to our group. We loved the experience and look forward to our next meal with Chef Cheryl!

From the moment I contacted Chef Adriana, I was impressed. She helped me plan a 3 course meal to surprise our friend for her birthday. She was professional, prompt and so easy to work with. Her plating was beautiful and the food was absolutely DELICIOUS!! First time planning something like this and she definitely set the bar VERY high! Thank you Chef, for such an amazing experience from start to finish!

We had booked Chef Cheryl for a small group. I cannot say enough amazing things about her! We had some allergies and dietary restrictions, and she was extremely accommodating and very easy to work with. She had a very large menu to choose from as well. Chef Cheryl was on time, brought everything needed and anything we didn’t have at our rental as well. She cooked, served and cleaned up so we could enjoy our night. Also the food was one of the best meals I have ever had, very delicious! I would 100% love to book Chef Cheryl again. I highly recommend her for any event.

Chef Matthew is amazing! He helped me craft an amazing menu for my best friend’s bachelorette party, which was on a boat! He was incredibly professional and flexible, especially when we ran into issues with the stove and oven not working! It took awhile to get fixed, and instead of complaining, he was so patient and even made us drinks! Most important, the food was phenomenal. From the salad to the filet mignon and crème brûlée — everyone was so impressed and was asking for recipes! Highly recommend Chef Matthew. Don’t miss out!!

It’s always scary to procure services online, especially when it comes to catering a party. Island chef provided excellent service, arrived on time, food met all expectations. Tamara was extremely responsive with questions and options.
