As someone who has had experience with personal chefs in the past, Chef Rafa is exactly what you are looking for. With less than 24 hours notice he created an amazing meal was professional and made my night so enjoyable. He was open to menu changes and was very flexible to meet our wishes. I have had chefs come to my home and ask so many questions but Chef Rafa was self sufficient and made me feel like a guest in my own home. As a foodie and guests who are foodies, the food was spectacular! Felt like we were at a five star restaurant. My father thoroughly enjoyed the meatballs and he is extremely particular about meatballs. We all left dinner full and had left overs to enjoy the next day. We are looking forward to have Chef Rafa again in our home in the near future.
