I planned a rather last minute joint anniversary party for my parents and my in-laws. Chef Kevin and his wife Jen were an absolute pleasure to work with! Kevin couldn’t have made the process of curating my dinner menu any easier. They were extremely professional and courteous while working in my home and also contributed to the atmosphere of the night. I’ve hired private chefs before that needed to use my personal pots/pans/etc. but Kevin and Jen brought literally everything needed for the evening. Afterwards, everyone said how delicious everything was and what a special memory this would be. Chef Kevin truly does bring a fine dining restaurant experience into your home.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - formal • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Kevin curated an unforgettable culinary experience for my father's 70th birthday, transforming our intimate gathering into a night to remember. After considering several options, his honest and approachable communication style stood out immediately. He was not only receptive to my ideas but genuinely collaborative in shaping the perfect menu. Despite a heavy downpour the day of the event, Chef Kevin and his wife arrived right on time and jumped into action with remarkable professionalism, requiring minimal support from me. Their calm efficiency set the tone for a stress-free evening. Every dish was a crowd-pleaser — rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with care. Guests were still talking about the meal long after the plates were cleared. Even when some guests arrived late, Chef Kevin remained incredibly flexible and accommodating, ensuring everyone felt welcomed and well-fed. I wouldn’t hesitate to partner with Chef Kevin again the next time I’m in Central Florida. His dedication, warmth, and exceptional cuisine made this milestone celebration truly special.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Mr Kevin catered our Xmas dinner. Each of our guests had a printed menu which we all loved & the food was really delicious. When Ms Jennifer brought each dish she explained each dish in detail. She was amazing. When dinner was done they cleaned our kitchen as well. Mr Kevin & Ms Jennifer are very professional. Please hire them you wont regret it. This is the only chef we will hire from now on. Thank you for making our Xmas dinner extra special. All our guest were so impressed with the food and service.
