Menu: Ode To My Love

Chef Robert prepared dinner for our son’s wedding at our home. It could not have been better from the food to the service to the cleanup. We would definitely use him again for another event and highly recommend that others do the same. He brought his friend Adam to help as bartender and served and Adam was wonderful and engaging. And made fantastic cocktails and never let my champagne flute get empty!!

Brandy and Crystal were phenomenal. They cooked for my wife's birthday with her friends and made the night incredibly special for her. They were extremely professional, personable, and I'm pretty sure they left our kitchen cleaner than before they got there. Could not recommend them enough.

Menu: Wedding Dinner (ORC-160637)

Chef Tim did a wonderful job for our ~50 person wedding!! The communication was top notch, his ability to be flexible was outstanding (because nothing ever goes as planned!), and the quality of food was outstanding. The beef Wellington was A1- the cut of meat, the preparation, the taste…wow. Same with the fish, the vegetables…even the ahi tuna nacho and Indian chicken meatball appetizers— an absolute cut above! Thank you Chef Tim!
