Chef Ram was phenomenal! She was very professional. Thanks to her, what could have been a simple dinner at home, was turned into a 5 star 3-course dinner for Valentine’s Day. She also helped capture the moment I proposed to my fiancée over the delicious dessert she prepared for us. If you’re looking for a private chef, look no further!

Wow, what an unforgettable Valentine's Day surprise! I decided to elevate the romance by surprising my wife with a private chef, and Chef Ram turned it into an absolute culinary masterpiece. She took the time to gather our favorite foods, and the menu she curated was a personalized journey through flavor heaven. Chef Ram's international training shone through, and her use of unique, personal sauces added an extraordinary touch. From a delightful salad to succulent lamb and a divine cheesecake crepe, every bite was a revelation. Chef Ram is multi-lingual and presented the main course in French (Amazing) As if that wasn't enough, Chef Ram, also a mixologist from Bar Rescue, treated us to specialty drinks that perfectly complemented the meal. The flavors were beyond anything we've experienced before, and the surprise element made it even more magical for my wife. Chef Ram's talent and passion for culinary excellence made this an evening to remember. Without a doubt, we'll be eagerly anticipating the next occasion to bring her culinary brilliance into our home again! On TOP OF ALL OF THAT SHE CREATED A PERSOANLIZED MENU WITH OUR PICTURE ON IT!!!! We would give her 10 Stars if we could.
