First, the most important aspect, the food. Our dinner was a 4-course meal Spanish-inspired meal. The food was absolutely amazing. Each person in our party of 9 were complimenting each plate and excited for the next. Outside the food, Ryan also went above and beyond. He gave us background on each of the dishes. He was polite and personably, making the whole process extremely pleasant. He offered a wide variety of dishes to choose from initially, and was very responsive on the app and through text. The pricing was also extremely fair for a personal chef. I would highly recommend Chef Ryan, and if possibly, to contact him personally at https://www.instagram.com/chefryan_cd/

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Asian • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Ryan was an absolute delight! I was between a few different chefs and I’m so glad we went with Ryan. His vibe and energy is as good as his food! We opted for 4 courses and every course was as good as the last. 3 of my friends after the event said we need to get his recipes lol. Will def book again!

We hired Chef Ryan for my wife’s 40th birthday, and it was a great experience. He offered several menu options, making it easy to choose dishes that everyone enjoyed. The food was exceptional, our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. Chef Ryan was incredibly friendly and engaging, explaining each dish, walking us through his process, and happily answering questions throughout the evening. He was also very accommodating and went out of his way to put together something special for the kids, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be hiring him again, and several of our guests said they plan to as well. Highly recommend.

Working with Chef Ryan was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the initial conversation and menu creation through the final dessert course, he delivered a truly one-of-a-kind dinner party experience. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully executed, and both we and our guests were extremely impressed. We highly recommend Chef Ryan for anyone looking to host an unforgettable dinner party.
