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.
Ashley S.
Booked the menu Italian Fare With a California Twist with Chef Roger
Chef Roger was simply amazing. He delighted us with a custom vegan menu, full of flavor, fresh ingredients, savory flavors, and healthy options. He conversed with us, but then allowed us to dine together as he faded into the background. He was kind. He was efficient and cleaned up as well! It was the perfect way to spend our evening. We will certainly have Chef Roger back in our home!
Booked the menu Italian Fare With a California Twist with Chef Roger
Chef Roger was amazing! I booked for my husbands birthday, and prior to the event he messaged to ask for tips on what we liked, was very responsive, and when he got to our place he was set up and running in less than 10minutes. The food was also phenomenal and exactly what my husband loves. He set the table, served each course with an explanation and chatted to us about each dish and his experiences which made for a very chill and lovely evening. At the end he cleaned up and my kitchen has never looked better. Highly recommend!!
