Chef Justin was the absolute best. He prepared us two Caesar salads, Cajun chicken, shrimp, and crab pasta, and steak with a crab and shrimp cream sauce. Everything was awesome. He was very prompt and professional. The food was delicious. This man is 🔥 in the kitchen. He was reasonably priced. I also found out he is a traveling chef, he lives in Austin but he came to Houston to prepare our dinner!!!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • Dessert • I'm flexible • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • American - casual • Italian • Southern • Mexican / Latin American • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Justin was a 100 out of 10 across the board -- from communication and planning, to how he showed up on site to THE FOOD even through to cleanup. I will absolutely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in the area.

The Wine Down helped us to have a relaxing night in, with dinner for two. All of the 5-star reviews are well-deserved! I will recommend this business to my friends and I look forward to being a repeat customer. Our professional chef (Justin) is efficient, knowledgeable, patient, and communicative. He graciously accepted our dinner request under extremely short notice (two days). He also answered all of my questions and provided a range of menu options. We live in a sea of great restaurants in Houston. The food that Justin prepared today surpasses many of those restaurants in taste, quality, and time-to-readiness. I am excited to plan a future event with The Wine Down! Thank you, Justin, for a memorable experience.

Details: Date night • 2 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Justin did an amazing job for my fiancé birthday dinner party! This was the first time any of us had a personal chef come cook for us and the experience was everything. The food was absolutely delicious, well portioned, and fair priced! I had to add a few people to the guest list twice and chef Justin has very understanding. He was the talk of the night! Would definitely recommend him for any/all occasions.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Southern • Barbecue • Mexican / Latin American • American - formal • Vegetarian or vegan • Dairy intolerant • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef came super last minute (48 hr notice) and prepared an amazing meal for 15 people. He brought all his own equipment and food and cleaned the kitchen after. Perfect for a dinner party so you can spend all your time hosting!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
