I was looking for a chef to come to my cousin’s bachelorette party and Chef Tony’s reviews sold me so I’m here to add to that sale. If you want to book a chef, as far as I’m concerned, Chef Tony is the only person to book. First and foremost, we were a party of all women, in a rented house. Immediately, Chef Tony was a welcome addition to our crew. Inviting a man into that environment can be intimidating… Chef Tony is professional, personable, entertaining, knowledgeable and DAMN GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. We all instantly felt comfortable with his presence, and when we came down for dinner - we were greeted by intoxicating smells coming from the kitchen, followed by a beautiful table scape. My only regret with Chef Tony is that I didn’t take photos because I couldn’t wait to try the courses, and that I can’t hire him to be my personal chef for every single meal, every single day. If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, personable chef to welcome into your event - I really mean it when I say it’s Chef Tony or nothing.

I had the pleasure to have Chef Tony cook for my man birthday this week. It was a surprise private dinner and it was a success. Chef Tony was well organized and had the food coming out back to back. Everything I took a bite of, caused my taste buds to go wild lol. The portions of the food was great, the quality of the food was great and Chef Tony confidence spoke thru the food. I will book Chef Tony any time I need a service like this again. My man was very very very pleased and this was our first time sharing an experience like this. Thank you Chef Tony for making my surprise, rememberable and well appreciated.
