I had Chef Ronaldo cook for a celebration and it was an absolute incredible experience. He arrived right on time and we didn't have to lift a finger. He started off the evening with welcome Mojitos that were incredibly fresh. We then had a 6 course meal, another cocktail, and 2 complimentary starters! You could tell how much work and thought he put in every single detail of his dishes. He explained all the components of each dish and gave us a backstory of where the dishes originated from. You can tell how passionate he is about cooking just from his explanations. It's hard to pick my favorite dish because they were all so amazing! But if I had to pick one, it would be the Sous Vide buttered lobster over yucca gnocchi (the best gnocchi I seriously have ever had). Ronaldo and his team were so professional and made sure we always had water, wine, and new utensils for every dish. After the dinner, him and his team cleaned the entire kitchen and left it spotless! He provided one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. I seriously cannot wait to have him over again. I am so grateful to had the chance to have Chef Ronaldo cook for us!!!
