We recently hosted a small dinner party after our son's wedding. We wanted to have it catered so we reached out to Abby and she responded within day. We met and she presented great menu options. We had some guests with dietary restrictions and she worked with us to choose the final menu. I appreciated her knowledge and flexibility. She was organized and professional. The dinner was so delicious and exceeded all my expectations. The guests were so impressed with the food and the chef. From our first contact till the end of the evening she was great to work with, every step of the way. I highly recommend her as a private chef for your event.

Abby was excellent and professional. On the way to my home she got a flat tire, communicated well, changed the tire herself and STILL managed to get to my home and pull off a fantastic menu. With a big smile, a friendly disposition and an aim to please. Thank you Abby for helping us create a great Father’s Day where I could actually sit down for once!
