A seafood boil, with added clams & lobster, was the chosen hit for the birthday guy! Holly & Chef Terrence were very accommodating with special requests.

Guests mistakenly ate a special brownie-stacked birthday cake before the presentation, but Chef Terrence jumped in, salvaged, and created a 'deconstructed' cake with candles that served and entertained us well! Big thanks to Holly & Chef Terrence, owners of TBD, and event staff. You're wonderful small business purveyors who work hard and deliver a memorable culinary experience. Continued success!

TLDR: Unprofessional, not very gracious with mistakes and disorganized in the proposal process…read more I reached out to TBD Foods in the last week of September 2025 for a wedding in Denver in August 2026 after working with him in 2018. I am from Denver but live in CA currently and am planning from afar. Sent an incredibly detailed inquiry with day-of event timeline by hour, menu ideas, location (just a few blocks from their prep kitchen) and a bit about the event. Received two separate responses from he and his wife, Holly, seeking details already provided in my initial inquiry like guest count, location, time. Sent several emails back and forth clarifying capabilities, menu ideas, rentals etc. and finally had to set up a call in October (initiated by me after many proposal mistakes) to align. There was constant confusion regarding the style of the event and rentals - TBH, the many proposal revisions due to their mistakes maybe should have been the hint this might not be the best fit. But we went ahead! Terrence was late to the call on October 15 but let me know ahead of time and I genuinely didn't have an issue with it. After aligning, I paid $100 to have a menu tasting on Monday, December 22 when my husband and I would be visiting Denver from CA. So, this is a tasting that has been on the calendar for at least a month. When we arrived at our tasting (after confirming via email the week before and day of) 15 minutes before (6:45p) the scheduled time of 7pm, Terence is irate. Mistakenly, the event in my calendar was in PT (since we live in CA) instead of MT. He says that he refuses to serve us because we have "disrespected him and wasted his time and he has a 4-month-old at home." He continues to say that we are disorganized and lack care and that in addition to not offering a tasting, he will not put in the effort to cook for our wedding after how we've treated him. We are SUPER apologetic - this is something we've spent money on, confirmed via email and have been looking forward to. When asked why he didn't call to check on our arrival time, he said he "doesn't have my phone number. And you confirmed with Holly so that should have been enough." Because I filled out an entire inquiry on their website and spoke with him personally to schedule this tasting, it's BUCK WILD to say that you don't have my number and think sending an email is problem solving enough. We would have literally hopped in the car and been there in 15 minutes had we been given the courtesy of a phone call. All of this to say, we made a mistake, were very apologetic and were treated super rudely and given no tasting despite paying. 0/10 for TBD Foods.

Unfortunately, Ana is one of the worst people I've ever worked with professionally. She has a…read moreterrible attitude and will lash out at you whenever things don't go perfectly her way. Working with Ana is like walking on egg shells. You never know what's going to set her off. If you send her a text and she interprets it the wrong way, she likely to immediately quit on you. This is what happened to me. Ana is a very selfish person that expects everything to go her way and on her terms. If she even perceives that things aren't going her way, she can't handle it and will overreact and make irrational decisions. The main reason Ana quit without any notice for me after using her for over two years is because I paid her $275 for not working one week for me and she didn't like me doing that. It is the craziest reason I've ever heard for quitting. I was always very nice to hear, but it is never enough with Ana. You can compliment her every week for her services, and she still isn't happy. This is because she never feels adequate enough inside. Ana has personal and mental health issues that also affect her work and get in the way of her communication and how she handles situations. It's pretty much impossible to please Ana, as she always finds a way to turn things against you, including good deeds. I wish I would have stopped using Ana sooner so I didn't have to deal with all her drama and have her quit on me without any warning. She has tried doing this to me before, but I tried appeasing her against my better judgment. In hindsight, I should have stopped working with her when she blew up on me over how she interpreted a text message in the past and threatened to quit on me. Ana is a good cook, but her personal and mental health issues, as well as her short-temper and selfish tendencies are not worth the hassle. I highly recommend never taking a chance with Ana. There are much better cooks and people to deal with than Ana.

We've been using Ben for a while now, and I genuinely can't imagine our week without him. He has an…read moreincredible ability to make healthy, whole-food meals that our entire family -- from toddlers to adults -- actually gets excited to eat. What sets Ben apart is how thoughtful he is about every detail. He seasons and cooks chicken breast in a way that somehow stays moist even after reheating (if you meal prep, you know how rare that is). His sauces -- the bulgogi, the jalapeño crema, the guacamole -- are spectacular. And the tamago has become a staple in our house that we look forward to every single week. Beyond the food itself, Ben is incredibly flexible and communicative. He works with whatever is in the fridge, accommodates our ever-changing requests, and is always open to trying something new. He's even helped us think through toddler-friendly textures and portion sizes for our little one, which has been invaluable. If you're looking for someone who treats your family's food with the same care they'd give their own, Ben is your person. We feel so lucky to have found him.

I was not planning to leave a negative review since this happened over a year ago, but I was…read moredisappointed with how the follow up was handled. We had a private chef come to our home two times a week and requested Mediterranean style low carb meals. Despite that, he consistently prepared high carb pasta dishes and heavier meals each time. We tried redirecting and clearly specifying the amount of protein we wanted in each meal, but nothing changed. The final time he came, he prepared one entrée, one appetizer, and two sides, and the total came to $600. The portions were enough for only two people. When we contacted the representative, they agreed that the price was unreasonable for such a small amount of food and told us we would receive a significant discount on a future meal prepared by a new chef. Unfortunately, it took over a year for anyone to reach out about arranging that replacement chef.

The experience from start to finish was excellent, and I cannot recommend them enough. Our group was a bit complicated with dietary restrictions, including shellfish allergy, gluten-free, vegan, no red meat, and no pork. Chef Rich worked with my husband and me on the menu over a few phone calls to make sure we could accommodate all our guests. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt included in the experience with thoughtful substitutions based on each person's dietary need! At his creative suggestion, Chef Rich brought an additional assistant/bartender to create a "cocktail hour" for us. The bartender crafted a signature drink that all could enjoy and made a selection of cocktails based on our group's preference. The team was friendly, professional, and clearly cared about providing an outstanding experience. We are so thankful for them and we were all so impressed. Hire them, you will not regret it.

I have been using Round the Table as a private chef service for over a year now and I am really…read morehappy with this service. I have also been happy with the issues that I did encounter being addressed quickly and resolved with high professionalism. The chef I work with is versatile, friendly, so great at flavor profiles and trying out new recipes, and extremely kind. Coming out of COVID and the two years of unending cooking without many breaks with to-go food, I finally reached my adulthood burnout with cooking. Instead of being the one to have to carry this responsibility for my family anymore, I searched for solutions to help me out. For me, the meal kits offered on the market today were not going to be helpful because of food allergies and diet restrictions I had. The benefit of having support with food for your family is that your goals with nutrition are much easier to hit, you aren't swayed by mood, you can control the quality of your ingredients better, and there is always something to eat in your refrigerator. In this economy, and with restaurant prices being so high, we can get swept away paying for to-go meals the same amount we pay the weekly fee for our chef if we eat out every meal more than two days in a row. By having this service, the amount of money we pay to get the help, is far less than if my family had to rely on take out because I refuse to cook anymore. I seriously don't understand why the expectation for someone who can cook, is that they have to cook for the rest of their lives. But someone who can't cook, is unburdened and its pardoned. Ugh, but I digress.....this service might seem pricey but if you compare the cost of take out, its easily the cheaper and more amazing way to go based solely on quality and quantity you get. How it works is that you submit your inquiry to Round the Table for a private chef, outlying the needs you have and they come back to you with some options of the quantity of entrees per plan they offer. Then you are paired up with an independent chef they hire for you, and you begin to have a relationship with that chef preparing a menu for your family. They take into consideration all your dietary needs, and offer you a meal plan that rotates weekly. You can alter and adjust this as needed, and if your chef is open to it, you can even send them recipes you want them to cook for you. The service includes the chef obtaining the groceries for you, or you can do that part if you want to control more of the ingredients being used. Then they come to your house and they cook for you. They use your containers, pots and pans but most all come with their own knives and some tools they prefer to cook with. We have no plans to change our services any time soon, and we really really really appreciate the support and help. Its really helped our health so much to have these foods being made that support and nourish our dietary goals. I highly recommend this service!!! Cammie is very good to work with and is very accommodating of your dietary preferences and works hard to make sure you are paired up with a chef you enjoy the cooking style with. They often have waitlists for new clients, but that can change so if you are interested in this service, its 100% worth reaching out.
