I had the pleasure of working with Chef Daniel, and I can't recommend him enough! His professionalism was top-notch, and it was clear he takes great pride in his work. The quality of the food he prepared was outstanding—each dish was crafted with care and full of flavor. What really stood out, though, was his attention to detail, ensuring every aspect of the meal was perfect. If you're looking for an exceptional culinary experience, Chef Daniel is the one to call!

Daniel has a very creative approach to teaching. His menus are top notch and always full of flavor. Our party of 12 people still can’t stop talking about how great an experience it was. If you want good food, and hospitality, this is your guy.

The cuisine was over the top. I loved the beet salad, don’t have that very often. The polenta with gravy sauce was another unique dish. I thought the mushrooms & gnocchi did me in until I tasted the chicken. I ate the whole thing. No better compliment than that! And then pannacotta. OMG. I ate all of that too. Come to think of it I ate all of everything! It was an honor to have you in our kitchen creating your magic. We would love to have you come again.
