Hired on Thumbtack

I hired Ms. Markos to make a Mother’s Day dinner for my wife. Let me preface this review by saying that I have never hired a personal chef or even a caterer for anything. I’m just a husband trying to do right by my wife. Samantha prepared most of the food in advance and cooked the rest on site. There were 7 different dishes and every single one of them was tasty. There were 6 of us consisting of 3 kids and three adults. Even my senior black mother in law enjoyed the meal and that is saying something. Samantha was professional and punctual. Everyone was happy and had a good time. I’m giving her 5 stars and my only mild detractors were some of the food could have been heated up a bit and overall it was a bit pricey but I will do business with her again.

Details: Holiday meal (Mother's day, Valentine's day, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Lunch • I'm flexible • American - casual • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I reserved an intimate chef experience for my husband's birthday, which was a great experience. Samantha and I communicated for some time to ensure the menu was as desired. The food was exceptional. Samantha has an engaging personality and is professional. She conducted all the services as illustrated in the contract. I will consider this experience for future engagements.

Details: Date night • 2 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • Mexican / Latin American • Asian • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
