Chef Santos was amazing! We did a personal chef dinner for a friend’s birthday, 6 people with various like and dislikes. He blew us away with two different types of aricini, peach & balsamic bruschetta, and the most savory chicken picatta I’ve ever had. He left our kitchen way cleaner than he found it and we can’t say enough great things about our experience! Highly HIGHLY recommend. You won’t regret it.

Chef Justin was fantastic! I planned my 60th birthday party for 8 ladies in my home. He came in with the right energy from the start – even tolerating our high school shenanigans while cooking up a lovely meal. All three appetizers got rave reviews from my guests and the braised short rib was melt in your mouth delicious! I can't recommend him more strongly. He was easy to work with, kind and professional. Thank you for such an awesome experience.

Hubby and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day celebration yesterday. We had Private Chef Justin Santos prepare a fantastic Surf n Turf including Peach and Shallot Bruschetta, Crabcakes with Mango Salsa, Shrimp Sauce and Spicy Dijon, Blackened Mahi with Maque Choux, Lobster Tail with Lemon Risotto and Terragon Beurre Blanc, Porcini rubbed Ribeye with Mash and Asparagus, and "Oops, I Dropped the Mango Tart". We had such a great time watching and interacting with the Chef while he cooked and introduced each beautiful course. I'd recommend having this experience. Most definitely 10 outta 10!
