Ryan was exactly what I was hoping for to celebrate my wife’s birthday. He was very friendly, allowed us to watch him work and ask questions along the way. Food was delicious. Stay in for the night and Ryan will deliver. Look forward to having more of his wonderful food. Thank you Ryan.

My husband and I hired Chef Ryan to create a special dinner for two. Chef Ryan was friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, experience and an amazing cook. We had an Italian dinner that was the best Italian food that we ever had. His presentation of the food was incredible. It was one of the best experiences and we plan to hire him again. Can you imagine how lucky his wife is to have a husband that is an amazing cook! Thank you, Chef Ryan!
