Scheduled for day after wedding so that husband and I could wind down and enjoy more time relaxed at home. I grew up being a picky eater, never tried shrimp before, and was still very satisfied with the food that was made. Chef was kind and I definitely felt like this was good value. He knew what he was doing and cooked faster than I could. It was nice how efficient the food was made . I would definitely consider using again because the food was delicious and I didn't have to . I wish I had photos but all I have is a screenshot of a video.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 2 guests • Breakfast / brunch • Lunch • Dessert • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Mexican / Latin American • American - formal • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

The company was easy to work with. There was some disconnect in communication and organization. Maybe at times there were "too many cooks in the kitchen" concerning invoices, payment, confirmation of menu, etc. However, once everything was confirmed they came to the event on time and the food was delicious.

Details: Birthday or anniversary party • Breakfast or brunch • Coffee or tea • American - casual • Buffet • No, drop off only • Outdoor venue • Yes, full kitchen • 20 - 29 guests • Standard (basic ingredients)

Wow. First, the food was amazing. The chef & Seth were friendly and we were so grateful to have them in our home. It felt like we had known them for years. The experience was so great that we have already decided to hire them for another event and we plan to gift them to our parents for Christmas. We will do whatever it takes to support them because they are that authentic and the food was to die for!
