Private Chefs of Highland Park

Chef Kelly helped make our special dinner incredible. The food be cooked was delicious - and his Chilean Sea Bass was the best I’ve ever eaten! He’s a true pro and calmed my nerves after I miscounted and then had 3 more people RSVP the late afternoon the day before the dinner. He brought his young adult daughter with him and she was equally as professional. Both were so impressive. This was my first time to use a personal chef for a dinner and I cannot wait to find another special occasion or reason to use him again. He really is that good!

Hired Chef Kelly for my wife’s birthday. Had a really nice evening with friends. Chef and his staff were awesome and really made the evening special.

Chef Kelly is very friendly, punctual, and a true professional! He made my sister’s baby shower dinner very memorable and my dinner guests absolutely enjoyed it! The food was delicious and I would definitely want to hire him again for future special events. Thank you, Chef Kelly!

In todays' world, it is not very often that a company or service meet expectations. Sad, but true....and no, I am not a cynic. Adequate and mediocrity are the standards. Well, this is not the case with Private Chefs. Private Chefs exceeds expectations. From our first contact to the perfect ending-our experience was nothing but amazing. After our initial contact, we talked and decided on a menu. I looked at some he had sent me, and honestly, it was so hard to choose. The fact of the matter is, Chef Kelly told me he would make anything I wanted. The evening I was planning was a 60TH birthday celebration for my husband. Ironically, I did not act on my plan until 2 days before his birthday. That made no difference to Chef Kelly. He delivered on everything promised, even on this short notice. Price per person was very reasonable and the only additional cost was for the groceries purchased. He did everything-from the shopping to preparing to cooking to serving to cleaning. We started with shrimp cocktail with the most delicious cocktail sauce I have ever tasted. Seriously. Next was Champagne Poached Lobster Caesar Salad-perfection. We all had a fork tender filet with the Chefs special sauce. Finished it all off with made from scratch Strawberry Cheesecake. I just do not have the words to describe how fantastic EVERTHING was. It was such a luxury having a world class, made to order dinner (as good or better than any restaurant) in our own home. There is nothing I can buy for my husband, but I know he will never forget this evening. If you are thinking of doing something like this for 2 or a large group of people, I encourage to just call Chef Kelly. He loves what he does, and I believe the passion he has for his work is a big part of the reason he does it all so well. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Chef Kelly for the extraordinary celebration! I will see you again.
