I scheduled with the exotic chef just one day prior to my event and from the minute I reached out until time of the event everything was seamless. Communication was great. They were on time and everyone loved the food. During our event, they gave us enough space to enjoy, but also we’re interactive and a part of the group. It was worth every penny spent and will definitely be booking again.

Chef Christina and her team were absolutely amazing. I needed a personal Chef for a private birthday dinner because our original chef cancelled just hours before the event. The Exotic Chef responded immediately, secured my requested menu, showed up on time, prepared meals onsite for both days, served and assisted with our theme. Beautiful private chef experience. Great energy and very professional. Food was absolutely amazing. Very flavorful and to top it off the presentation and set up was just what I had envisioned. We will definitely be booking with them again.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Breakfast / brunch • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
