Our group was looking for an upscale type private dinner experience within the comfort of our home and Mike provided us with that and more. Leading up to the event, Mike was very proactive in collaborating on a menu with me and was very easy to work with. In the day of our event, he arrived early with all of his own equipment and all of the necessary ingredients, and when he left, the kitchen was cleaner than when he had entered, allowing us to be COMPLETELY hands-off. The food itself was amazing, and Mike’s presentation of the dishes both verbally and visually was also much appreciated. 10/10 would recommend and would love the opportunity of working with him again in the future.

Mike catered a dinner I hosted to celebrate proposing to my girlfriend this last Saturday. I can not express how thankful I am that I was able to work with him. He was professional, kind and very responsive. The menu he assembled was a culinary delight, the service was outstanding, and the servings were copious. If you get a chance to work with him, take it!

I worked with Mike to cater my girlfriend's 50th birthday dinner party. We had 8 guests. Planning the event, Mike was extremely responsive and professional and worked with me to tailor a few different menu options. As part of the experience, we added an interactive cooking class where we learned how to make a few different kinds of pasta. Everyone really enjoyed it. Mike and his business partner, Peter, arrived on time, set up everything that we needed, and were fun to work with. They were knowledgeable, personable, and clearly experienced. The pre-dinner charcuterie and 3-course meal they served was nothing short of excellent. The menu was thoughtful, the ingredients fresh, and everything was well prepared and delicious. At the end of the night, the kitchen was spotless. I can't recommend Mike and Peter enough, and I will no doubt invite them back to cater more events!

I hosted a birthday party for my husband. There were six of us eating. Mike was awesome. He helped me develop a fun and delicious menu. We did family style for both courses. It was a great night. Great food. And my kitchen was spotless when Mike left. I hope we have a chance to do another party like this with Mike.

Not only an easy person to work with but a terrific chef. Both prepared a 4 course meal for 10 for my wife's birthday and the guests are still raving about the quality and taste of the food. These two guys are the real deal. We’ve been to many great restaurants but this stood up to all of them!
