I've only been lucky enough to have a few private chef experiences, which is why I can confidently say that not all are created equal. There is the obvious focus on the food, but you can get great food at countless restaurants. You also need to consider the dinner-planning experience, and more importantly the vibe of the chef that will be front in center at your private event or home. Ryan checks all the boxes. His food was absolutely amazing, which I'll dig into shortly. I want to start first with how responsive and collaborative he was. We'd originally planned on a French dining experience, but had to shift a couple weeks later to Polynesian. Ryan was completely adept at both cuisines and brought several different creative ideas to the meal planning process. It was during this planning process that I quickly got a feel for his vibe. He's extremely experienced, is a total professional, but one with a personality that's great to be around. From the opening ginger marinated meatballs (which were so good I didn't even get a chance to take a picture of) to the wildly insane coconut rice with fall off the bone braised chicken, to the Hawaiian dream cake...my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Can't recommend Ryan enough!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Dessert • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Ryan was fantastic! Five star all the way. Accommodating, personable, professional and the food was outstanding! He was meticulous and cleaned the kitchen after dinner leaving it spotless. He made the birthday dinner for seven of us an amazing memorable experience. Thank you!
