Chef Jamie gave us an incredible private dinner experience for a bachelorette party dinner for my sister! I was beyond impressed with the level of service that he provided and the food he served us was absolutely amazing. I was so busy enjoying the food and the experience that I didn’t even think about taking any photos, but I can assure you everything was beautiful, delicious, and planned so well. I would definitely recommend hiring Chef Jamie for any of your cooking needs! Treat yo self!

Unfortunately, did not get any photos of the event. Chef Jaime did an awesome job for 20 men on our cousins bachelor party. He was very responsive, showed up on time, and cooked an awesome meal. I certainly recommend the BBQ Pulled Pork, Smoked Gouda Mac N' Cheese, and Elote Corn. Thanks Chef Jaime!

Chef Jamie prepared a dinner for six of us. The food was superb and the presentation of each dish certainly rivaled any dish from the Chef Ramsey TV shows! His suggestions of dishes he can prepare are numerous. So much so it was difficult to choose. Luckily he was very patient as we kept changing our minds. He is a very personable gentleman, easy to engage in conversation and quietly melts in to the background while you are eating. The whole process from arrival to cooking to serving to cleaning up everything (!) was smoothly done. I highly recommend him, 5 Stars. Ellen
