Chef Arielle was incredible! From the beginning of me finding her on thumbtack, to the end of dinner with a great conversation with her while she was finishing packing up. She was super responsive, and very flexible and helpful with creating an incredible menu. Chef Arielle was right on time and I could tell she felt comfortable and confident all night. The food she made was amazing. Amazing is an understatement. My boyfriend and I did a surprise dinner for his parents. They said that everything tasted fresh, and they even said it blew the restaurant they’ve been going to for years out of the water! From reading her other reviews, I knew she would be the right choice, and she was. Thank you Chef Arielle for an incredible dinner!

Details: Date night • 2 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I hired Chef Arielle and her team for Christmas Eve dinner for 24 at my home. I really cannot say enough about Chef Arielle here. Her help and advice leading up to the event, to the the decor she provided, to the amazing food. I’m talking delicious!!! We had passed foods during a cocktail hour of sorts. Dinner was 3 courses highlighted by a filet mignon dish cooked to perfection and completed by a crème brûlée that was talked about hours later. Haha Last but not least the cleanup. A party of that size can be a mess. But they left my kitchen cleaner than how they found it. My mom couldn’t stop talking about that. Haha Bottom line is if you are looking for a great Chef with attention to detail and delicious food I highly recommend Chef Arielle!! We can’t wait to hire her again!! Oh and there were leftovers!! I mean cmon!

Details: Holiday meal (Mother's day, Valentine's day, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
