What guests loved about their private chef experience in the Bay Area
Chris D.
Booked the menu Best of the Land and Sea with Chef Esh-Marie in San Jose (Willow Glen)
Esh-Marie was great! On time arrival followed by a wonderful evening. The charcuteries plate was amazing, as was the steak and lobster entrée. I would highly recommend for your next special occasion. .
Victor L.
Booked the menu Feast on the Greek Coast with Chef Polly in East Bay (San Lorenzo)
Polly’s service was 10/10. Her depth of knowledge was displayed with delicious flavors that we really enjoyed. The portions were so generous. She was even kind enough to give us the extra dessert and provide us recommendations on where to get fresh produce!
Ronny K.
Booked the menu Hibachi Grill Extravaganza with Chef Josh in South Bay & Peninsula (Los Altos)
Hibachi is always fun and this was no exception. A show and meal preparation in one. The negative was that the meal was supposed to include Sake, but their Sake shipment didn't arrive, something they told us only after they came here, so late and with no make-up for it.
Namrata J.
Booked the menu Savoring Little Italy's Classics at Home with Chef Mordechai in San Francisco (Bayview)
We had an amazing experience. The food was delicious - every thing chef made for us was wonderful. Chef Motti was so friendly, warm and attentive. We really had a wonderful time interacting with him and enjoying his creations. Chef Motti accommodated all our dietary restrictions and preferences. Highly recommend!
