Hired on Thumbtack

I hired Chef Kev for my sisters bachelorette party in Martha's Vineyard. Most people would not make the ferry trip, but Kevin was very willing to. His food was delicious, and he fulfilled all my requests for our dinner. He had everything prepared in a tiny kitchen and cleaned everything up as well. One last note- I don't even like cheesecake, and Chef Kevs cheesecake was one of the best deserts I've ever had!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Nut allergies • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We are Active Duty Military and we hired Chef Kev for a private event we had to celebrate a promotion. Kev was always quick to respond and make arrangements for anything we needed. He was prompt on the event day and set everything up exactly how we wanted. Food and Service was amazing. I cannot speak highly enough about him and his business. Would highly recommend and will probably hire him for any future events we have.

Can you give more than 5 stars? He was outstanding. His communication was excellent setting up the event. I thought his food was exemplary, the short ribs were one of the best meals I've ever had. More importantly, I received rave reviews of the food from all my guests. And he left that kitchen spotless. Great experience!

Chef Kev D was a pleasure to work with!! He was incredibly responsive when I was initially looking for a personal chef for my event and remained in contact about the menu throughout the planning process. He easily accommodated increasing the number of guests a few days before the event without issue. On the day of the event he arrived right on time, was incredibly efficient and most importantly, cooked us a truly delicious meal!! Everyone was raving about it for weeks. I would definitely hire him again and would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a personal chef!!

Chef Kevin was excellent! His food was delicious, the portions were excellently sized, he was very professional, punctual and delivered a great presentation. His wine pairing recommendations were spot on with the menu courses. I highly recommend Chef Kevin for a special event. This was the perfect in-home celebration for my husband’s birthday dinner. I would definitely have him back.
