Wow, what an unforgettable Valentine's Day surprise! I decided to elevate the romance by surprising my wife with a private chef, and Chef Ram turned it into an absolute culinary masterpiece. She took the time to gather our favorite foods, and the menu she curated was a personalized journey through flavor heaven. Chef Ram's international training shone through, and her use of unique, personal sauces added an extraordinary touch. From a delightful salad to succulent lamb and a divine cheesecake crepe, every bite was a revelation. Chef Ram is multi-lingual and presented the main course in French (Amazing) As if that wasn't enough, Chef Ram, also a mixologist from Bar Rescue, treated us to specialty drinks that perfectly complemented the meal. The flavors were beyond anything we've experienced before, and the surprise element made it even more magical for my wife. Chef Ram's talent and passion for culinary excellence made this an evening to remember. Without a doubt, we'll be eagerly anticipating the next occasion to bring her culinary brilliance into our home again! On TOP OF ALL OF THAT SHE CREATED A PERSOANLIZED MENU WITH OUR PICTURE ON IT!!!! We would give her 10 Stars if we could.

Details: Holiday meal (Mother's day, Valentine's day, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • Dessert • I'm flexible • Dessert • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

The overall experience and food presentation was excellent - two suggestions that would improve the dining experience is to wear shoes not sandals/bare feet are not appetizing - In addition if there is a Chef assistant he should be dressed to serve - not a good dining experience for the Chef assistance to wear street clothes - a long sleeved shirt and nice pant/slacks would be excellent!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

The pictures should speak for themselves, but if they don't, it's because we ate so fast before anyone even thought to snap a photo. The food was nothing short of amazing. Chef Ram is such a beautiful soul. She is personable, honest, and actually cares about the meals that she provides. Her flavor profile is unmatched. I would book her again in a heartbeat, and she has become an honorary member of our family now.
