After sending many fruitless emails trying to find a personal chef to do an…read moreat-home dinner for my mother's 70th birthday, and being quoted some ridiculous prices given we were a party of 5, I reached out to Chefstro. The booking process was seamless, they got back to me within 24 hours with a top-notch chef with great credentials. Brad was a joy to work with throughout the process. He adeptly navigated our multitude of dietary restrictions and preferences, came up with a delicious menu, and put his heart and soul into executing a delicious and memorable meal for our special day. I couldn't have been more thrilled with how it all went! And it was comparable or cheaper to what I would have paid in a nice restaurant, especially when you factor in that you're not paying a markup on alcohol. We will definitely use this service again, and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to create a fabulous, memorable experience at home for a special occasion!

Bottom line: I love Chefstro.

One of the chefs I had used to be the exec chef at Upstairs on the Square in Harvard Square -Perfect level of service- attentive but not overbearing -Well worth the price; I don't save all that much by doing it from scratch myself and I get to save myself the time and energy Cons: -I may have overeaten and put on a few lbs :) Definitely use Chefstro! I believe they are quickly expanding to new geographies so folks outside of Boston should also check them out!

David helped me and my husband during a difficult time. Planning a funeral luncheon in a short time…read morecould have been terribly stressful. It wasn't because David provided food options and price options. Moreover, he and his staff went so far as to contact the church for all the logistics and details. The end result couldn't have been better. Friends and family went so far as to tell me how GOOD the food was and we even had to-go containers--NOTHING wasted. Again, David and staff did all the setup (elegant!) and cleanup. I called several caterers and knew I found excellence indeed. My absolute top notch recommendation.

I HIGHLY recommend giving them a try. A+ service. You won't regret it.

We started with a beet salad with pistachios and burrata, perfectly cooked scallops with risotto, and hands down the best chicken marsala I've ever had.

You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does, and it shows in every detail.

We booked Ryan to cook dinner for my mom's 70th birthday. It was the first time we've ever done…read moreanything like this. Naturally, because it was something new, we were a bit anxious about the experience. We weren't sure of all the moving pieces or how easy/difficult the process would be. When Ryan left on Saturday evening, our kitchen sparkling, it was like he had never even been there, except we were stuffed with incredibly delicious food. From my first contact with Ryan to the when he left my mom's house, it was all so easy. The menu was easy to decide on (Ryan has a huge selection of dishes he can put together). Ryan was easy going and guided us through each step. Ryan brings everything he needs, pots, pans, silverware, china, and food. He got to work right away, and when it came time to sit down, we were treated to an incredible feast. Every course (we had 5 courses) was delicious and elegant. We were served by Ryan's assistant. It was really like we were in a restaurant. I was eating with my back to the kitchen, and it was hard to even know he was there. He was efficient and didn't distract from our dinner (he was also willing to chat when we pulled him into the conversation.) If you are at all anxious about the process of having a chef cook dinner in your house, you shouldn't be if you pick Ryan. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Here's what we ate (If we could do it again, we'd eliminate one of the first three course... we. were. stuffed.): Hard Cider Pumpkin Bisque (a table favorite. Fall in a bowl) Wedge Salad (the dressing was dynamite) Scallops and risotto (Another hit. This is where we were feeling rather full). Filet OR herb encrusted chicken (maybe the best filet I've had in a long while. Just cooked perfectly.) Tangerine Creme Brulee (blow torch demo included!). If you're thinking about doing something romantic for a significant other or planning a larger dinner (we had 9 people), you should hire Ryan. You won't regret it and you'll impress everyone.

Chef Ryan is amazing - and his food is simply outstanding! Our children surprised us with a…read morecombination Anniversary and Birthday dinner last night, and the menu was superb. The braised short rib grilled cheese appetizers were nothing short of amazing and could have been a meal in themselves ... but we continued with fantastic corn chowder with crab, arugula salad with melon and pine nuts, and stuffed cod that melted in our mouths. Add in lava cakes ... and you have a meal that is totally over the top. But the best part of the night was Chef Ryan and his assistant Leslie - who cooked, served and cleaned up. As they left you would never have known anyone was in the kitchen !!! Simply amazing. If you want the luxury of have your own professional chef for an evening - call Chef Ryan - he's the best !

The building I work in is under construction and they have Fooda outsourcing and bringing us delicious foods to eat during the week as the cafeteria has been shut down. I went downstairs today and Events by BH was offering Latin American bowls for $8.00 (after tax). Heck yes. So I chose the BBQ Chicken bowl: it came with BBQ chicken, rice, fried plantain, a small salad and Brazilian cheese bread. Everything is very tasty, though the BBQ sauce was advertised as 'tangy' and I think it could use a little more zest. When I think of tangy, I want a little puckering - so perhaps the vinegar could have been amped up. On the whole, it's actually very tasty and a very nice well-rounded lunch. The Brazilian cheese bread....SO GOOD. I'd like to get a container of just that. Honestly, if I had an upcoming event to have catered, I would give them a shot just based on the food I tried at lunch today. Yum.
