What guests loved about their private chef experience in San Jose
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. .
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.
Bryce F.
Booked the menu Best of the Land and Sea with Chef Esh-Marie in East Bay (Oakley)
Chef ESH-Marie was amazing! Food was delicious and she was very friendly. would recommend!
Alan L.
Booked the menu Best of the Land and Sea with Chef Esh-Marie in San Jose (South San Jose)
