I have never had a personal chef come to the house before but it was a wonderful experience! Jason came and cooked dinner after my wedding and it was a such a great experience! All the food that he prepared and cooked was delicious! He also was very responsive when planning and was accommodating because of some picky eaters. Overall the meal was delicious and everyone loved all the food especially the appetizers were a big hit! (arancini balls and his pork and chive gyoza)

Honestly, I can't say enough great things about Jason! We hired him to come to our Lahontan Truckee Cabin for my husband's 40th birthday and we were blown away! He cooked for all 14 of us a 4 course meal and the main course was steak. I got to pick all of the courses ahead of time and he was extremely open to a variety of options for all my guests. He got there an hour and a half early looking very professional and kind, prepped everything in the kitchen while we hung out and had drinks, then served us our apps on the patio. We have some big eaters in or group, so I was a little worried they might be hungry after, but we were stuffed, and some of us had leftovers even. The steak was cooked perfectly and the dessert was divine! We will absolutely be using Jason again for our next event, and I KNOW my guests will be using him as well. THANK YOU JASON for making my husband's 40th birthday unforgettable.

Jason was 15/10. Food, Quality and Service was beyond my expectations! The girls on my trip have raved for months now how it was the best filet minion they have ever had! Thank you, Jason, for going above and beyond, you truly were amazing!
