I can't say enough about Chef Tom and Kristina (sp?). From the beginning my questions were answered promptly and on the day all I had to do was sit back and enjoy the company of my friends without having to worry about the food and kitchen clean up. The food was delicious and plentiful and suited all my guests tastes and Kristina was attentive to our needs during and after service. I have no hesitation in recommending Chef Tom to anyone looking for a Private Chef

We had a wonderful evening with chef Tom! We had him for a 15 person dinner to kick off a wedding weekend and it truly exceeded expectations. It was not only beautifully presented but tasted amazing. Anytime we are back in the area we will for sure be connecting with Tom!

Tom was the perfect chef for our crowd of mature ladies. The presentation was lovely. The food quality was excellent. One woman in the group worked at a seafood restaurant for 20 years and said his was the best seabass she’d ever tried!
