Modern Elegance Culinary Experience

We had amazing experience celebrating a birthday at our home. Chefs Michael and Brad prepared a wonderful meal and created a beautiful experience for our guests!

We host dinner parties regularly and were absolutely blown away by not only a superb meal by Chef Michael, but by his professionalism and courteous approach to the entire event. From the custom menus for each guests, to the excellent communication from day 1, to a clean kitchen at the end of the night (he even brings his own “inside” shoes!), Chef Michael covered all the bases and made it truly an easy evening off for me to enjoy my friends and family. Thank you, Chef Michael, you are the only chef I’m calling now for future dinners!

We hired Michael Castro, Modern Elegance, to prepare our Wedding Dinner after our Zoom wedding (in lieu of a honeymoon with the pandemic :) ). It was an absolute wonderful experience. Michael is personable, conversational, and fun. After consulting with us about the menu selections, he brought all that was needed to our kitchen. He created a sausage roll, in honor of my husband's British heritage, as an appetizer...presentation was slices on a bed of arugula and fennel. Our chosen entrees were Mediterranean salmon and mustard encrusted lamb chops. Both were delicious. Desserts were three cheesecakes that he made on site. We enjoyed left-overs the next evening and will continue to enjoy the left-over fresh produce and various spices in the future. Finally, Michael cleaned everything up, including the stove hood and cast iron grids on our stove...much more than we would have done! I especially like that Michael gives back. He hires culinary students from Lorain County Cmty College, pays them well, and they earn required hours of experience towards their degree. I have already recommended Michael to two friends and will continue to do so.

I hired Modern Elegance to cater a 50th anniversary party for 💯 people. Modern Elegance provides outstanding service to their customers in a timely, efficient manner. Their menus has a nice variety of food items to choose from and I had a budget of how much I could spend; therefore Michael the owner of Modern Elegance worked with my budget and the presentation and the response to my needs we're very professional. The food was outstanding,Michael wen above and beyond any expectations. The entire experience was awesome. I will definitely recommend Modern Elegance to friends and family.. Thank you Dolly Gudat

Michael made a wonderful meal for my family. The taste and presentation was great and there was plenty for my whole family. He finished off the meal with a homemade cheesecake that was amazing. I highly recommend.
