We had such a wonderful experience with Chef Simmy from Food Fire + Knives! From the moment everything was set up, it felt like a truly special dining experience. The table setting was absolutely beautiful and added the perfect touch to our evening.
And the food was fantastic! We started with crab cakes and Manchego chicken, followed by a fresh, crisp arugula salad with burrata and Chef Simmy’s homemade dressing. Our entrée was Steak Diane with creamy mashed potatoes and asparagus. The steak was incredibly tender, perfectly prepared, and delicious. We finished the evening with a beautiful berry tart for dessert.
Every course was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and most importantly—delicious. Chef Simmy created a restaurant-quality experience right in our home and allowed us to simply relax, enjoy the evening, and celebrate together.
I would absolutely recommend Chef Simmy and Food Fire + Knives for a special occasion or anytime you want an elevated private dining experience. Thank you, Chef Simmy, for making our evening so memorable!
