Communication was on point too. He was on time, cleaned as he worked and friendly.Definitely would hire again.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Chef Victor and his team for my birthday dinner! From start to finish, he made me feel super comfortable, listening to every detail and collaborating with me on my menu to accommodate my preferences and also accomodating any allergy restrictions for my guests. I wanted to really wow my small group of friends and family and he went above and beyond to do so. Everyone was gushing over the meal! The food was absolutely delicious and, as a neat freak, I was also impressed with his cleanliness and attention to detail, especially his safety measures and mindfulness about the pandemic. But truly, the best thing about working with him was that it was like working with an old friend. We will definitely be using him again and will be recommending him to everyone in the area.

Details: Birthday or anniversary party • Cocktail hour or hors d'oeuvres • Dinner • American - casual • Buffet • Yes, full service • Home • Yes, full kitchen • Fewer than 20 guests • Standard (basic ingredients)

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is estimated after we complete a personalized menu for your event. An all-inclusive quote will then be submitted to you that will include: food per guest, labor and gratuity.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first thing I like to do is to schedule an initial phone consultation to discuss the details of the client's expectations and I will also be able to answer any questions you may have.
