Chef Stef prepared a fantastic 3 course meal for our group on a girls’ getaway. The presentation was beautiful, and each course was delicious. We appreciated his attention to detail as well, from the cloth napkins to the custom printed menus. Chef Stef and his coordinator were also super responsive and helpful in email correspondence leading up to our dinner, and his professionalism was consistent with that on the actual evening of our event. He also left the kitchen spotless at the end. Highly recommend!!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We had a fantastic experience with Chef Stef. The booking process was straightforward, we had complete flexibility with the menu, and he was very agreeable to catering to any specific dietary needs. He prepared a 4 course Italian meal for our group of 13 girls for a bachelorette and everyone loved it! He was on time (and very patient with us when we were late) and everything was exactly as discussed. The food was delicious, portions generous, and he left the kitchen even cleaner than it was before. Highly recommend for a fantastic experience!!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • Italian • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Working with Chef Stef for planning and executing my private anniversary dinner at home was an absolute delight! I chose to work with him instead of other vendors largely because of the wide variety of menu options he provided, in addition to his exceptionally reasonable value. Chef helped me design a delightful menu, set a gorgeous table, and provided exceptional wine/water service throughout our exquisite five course meal. Oh, and the food? DELICIOUS. And then, Chef printed out keepsake menus of our meals and left our kitchen and every dish and utensil immaculately clean. Chef made our anniversary extraordinarily special and I am so glad I booked him. We would highly recommend Chef Stef for anyone's private dining/catering needs and would love to work with him again in the future, too!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Italian • French • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We had a wonderful experience with Chef Stef. He was professional and responded quickly when setting up the details of our night. He arrived on time and began to prepare our 5 course meal that was truly out of this world! The courses were paced perfectly with one course better than the next ! When finished, he left the kitchen spotless with not one thing left out of place. Highly recommend booking him for your next dinner party, you won’t be disappointed!

I planned a last minute intimate birthday dinner at home for my husband and I. Chef Stef responded quickly and was able to accommodate my last minute plans. He provided a variety of dishes to choose from. The food was amazing. My husband really enjoyed the lamb and charred broccoli. I would definitely use him again in the future as he is very professional and maintains great communication throughout the process.
