Thank you so much, Chef! Everything was perfect. And thank you for being so flexible with the issues we were facing.

We were totally impressed!!! Valentina was so professional. While we enjoyed time in our garden, Valentina cooked. She called us in for our first course of beef tartare; what a great start! The chicken cordon bleu was the best I’ve ever had! The multi-ingredient salad was perfect with the rest of the meal. The little cake with vanilla ice cream and sauce topped off the meal. We asked Valentina to join us at the table for a little while and got to know her a bit. She cleaned up the kitchen and washed all the dishes, leaving the kitchen spotless which I really appreciated. Valentina is a true French chef! Best of luck to her success and her lucky next patrons! M
