Chef Frankie D was so awesome, that we each wanted to leave a review below. He was very professional and patient with our bachelorette party. He did not complain even when we had to push our dinner back an hour on the day of. He gave us plenty of food and the portion sizes were very filling. The steak and salmon were cooked perfectly! I would definitely hire again! Food was flavorful and tasted good ! The chef was friendly and quick ! Overall a nice experience. I thought the chef was professional and humorous. The food was seasoned well with lots of leftovers. I think it was the extra care and little things that really made him stand out from other chefs that were interviewed. I would hire him again. The chef was friendly and gave a lot of food choices and options.

Chef Frank made my girlfriend and I a very romantic dinner for Valentine’s Day. Food was made fresh and on time. Quality of the Mediterranean food was OUTSTANDING. Chef Frank also went the extra mile to supply a thoughtful bottle of wine and flowers. 10/10 experience!

Frank was amazing ! My friends and I hired a chef to cook dinner for us while we were on a girls vacation.... it was great being catered to and the food was delicious. I am sure my friends and I are sometimes overwhelming but Frank fit in perfectly and made the evening extra special. He helped us plan a menu and his bruschetta was perfect and the salmon was delightful. He was professional yet entertaining and was a highlight of our trip!
