Chef Adair cooked our family of 9 an incredible 6 course meal where every course was better than the last. Same quality as Michelin star restaurants I've been to. Can't speak highly enough of the delicious meal - great balanced use of truffle, the best bread pudding dessert I've ever eaten, perfect filet that was so tender and perfectly cooked, very tender lamb, incredible lobster and caviar, the best potato leek soup I've ever eaten. I am still dreaming about it! Highly recommend. read more

Chef Adair cooked a private dinner for our wedding night in Sonoma. After canceling our original wedding and opting for a small intimate wedding in Sonoma we couldn't be happier with the overall experience and Chef Adair made the evening so special. His food is incredible, the wine pairing was perfect, and his service was outstanding. We're so happy and can't wait to hire him again in the future. Thank you so much for the special meal and beautiful wedding cake. read more

Chef Adair and his crew made the most amazing dinner for my 40th birthday. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! I love to cook and he went through each dish and gave me tips for cooking. It was so great. Great service, beautiful food and the best I've ever tasted. There's a picture of me licking the bowl from our scallop meal. I can't stop thinking about it. If you have a chance to hire a private chef you can't go wrong with Chef Adair. This experience went above and beyond our expectations. read more

Chef Adair handled a delicious four course meal for our small backyard wedding. The team set a beautiful table and the service was superb. I trusted him with the menu, figuring he would know what to serve, and it was outstanding. He accommodated one guest who has severe allergies and she was able to enjoy everything. I highly recommend Chef Adair. read more

If there were 6 stars I would give that rating! Chef Adair prepared a 5 course meal for my 40th birthday dinner for 11 of my friends. It was the highlight of my birthday weekend and one of the best meals I have ever had. He was great to work with and he and his team were fun and professional. Came to the house and even helped us pair our wines. My friends are still talking about the food months later. I would highly recommend him for any private events or catering read more

Words can't describe Chef Adair's expertise in food and wine. We had an incredible five-course meal with wine pairings that were on par with the top restaurants in wine country. The beauty of every course was matched by its taste. Chef Adair was incredibly knowledgeable about each of the wines he served. He went into detail about each one and its vineyard, which made the meal even more special. We can't say enough good things about Chef Adair, and look forward to our next celebration! read more

This review is just for pre-booking communication with Chef Adair-- he was booked when I reached out to him. He responded very promptly to my email inquiry which was much appreciated. I then asked him if he had any other recommendations since he was booked for my event date, and he emailed right back with a few contacts! Many people in the industry don't even email back when they are booked, and they are certainly not helping you if they aren't going to see any money from it. I was impressed with Chef Adair's professionalism and great communication. I will definitely try to work with him again in the future, just get my booking in earlier! read more

Chef Umit's food and presentation was beyond amazing! I've hired a number of chefs over the years, and he just might be the best of them all! Seriously so impressed. read more

We had chef Adair prepare and serve for my 60th birthday celebration. Everything was wonderful. He was prompt and professional and the food was fantastic! read more

Unbelievable night last night with Chef Adair and his crew at our vineyard. We hosted a company event (11 people) and Chef Adair created a spectacular menu using fresh, local ingredients paired with amazing wines. I cannot recommend his services enough, the quality and professionalism was the best. Thank you Chef Adair, I look forward to the next one! read more

One of Sonoma's best chefs! For my 50th birthday I employed Chef Adair to create a 4 course menu for 13 people to be cooked and served at the house we rented. The menu was perfect from the delicate, delicious scallops to the amazing fresh filet mignon you could honestly cut with a butter knife. He also was very accommodating for our one vegetarian! It was a great experience and I will hire him again when I get the chance! read more

Chef Adair was part of the expert team that made my intimate winery wedding the stuff of dreams. From the minute we hired him, he was professional, fun, committed, and attentive to every detail. Chef Adair was by our side as we selected wines for the 6-course meal we had planned for our guests--which was such a fun experience and gave him the opportunity to get to know us and incorporate our personality as a couple into the dining experience we wanted to create for our guests. My husband is a country boy and avid hunter, while I am a Paris-loving City girl. Chef Adair adeptly created a gorgeous menu that reflected both of our tastes--he also sourced game and figs from our ranch to make the experience even more personal. It was a lovely homage to where we call home and was the kind of touch that very few accept the challenge to do. The end result was a beautiful menu that was both interesting and luxurious. It was also fantastic that with each course, he would take a moment to come out and speak to our guests about the course, the thought and inspiration behind it, and tasting notes. Our guests absolutely fell in love with him. It is no exaggeration to say that Chef Adair was instrumental in making our wedding dinner magical. Our 14 guests still talk about that night and remark on how amazing the meal was--which is rare when it comes to your typical wedding dinner that consists of rubbery chicken and tired, uninspired menus. If you love food and want to create an unforgettable dining experience for your intimate wedding or dinner party, hands down, Chef Adair is your man! read more

Private dinner for a bachelorette party of 6...Chef Adair and his assistant Veronica where absolutely AMAZING!!!!! They came in ready with everything!!! They prepped, cooked and cleaned for the 6 of us. Food was so delicious and they where extremely professional ... and silly at times when we asked them to wear our Bachelorette stuff for pictures. Definitely would recommend him to anyone in the Sonoma area!!! Can't wait to go back and hire them again!!!! read more

Chef Adair cooked for our group of 8 friends for a 50th birthday at our vacation rental. The chef and server (Chewy and Melissa) were terrific. It was a fantastic way to celebrate and cap off a week together. I'd highly recommend them for a special occasion read more

I'm still thinking about the amazing meal we had with Chef Adair more than 2 weeks ago. Course after course of high-quality, decadent food was placed in front of us while he expertly described the ingredients and why he chose them. He also knew about all the wines we'd picked up over the weekend and how to pair them with the food. He and his assistant, Carrie, had us feeling like royalty while also chatting with us and seeming to truly enjoy our company. I would love to try them again at different times of the year when different ingredients are in season! read more

***If you want a "WOW FACTOR" at your next dinner party, this is the guy to do it*** Five stars is as good as it gets. However, six stars would be more appropriate. Chef Adair was extraordinary, not only in the kitchen, but also in the preparation of our surprise dinner party for my wife's birthday. Not only did he execute an exquisite 6 course menu, he paired it beautifully with the wines I currently had in my cellar as well. Thank you Chef Adair and your entire team for making our dinner party of 10 a memorable one for my wife and our guests. read more

We hired Chef Adair and his assistant to cook for our group of 8 who were vacationing in Napa Valley from Miami. From the start, he was very flexible and accommodating to everyone's likes and dislikes when creating our menu. Additionally, he helped us select wines to pair with our meals based on the wineries we had planned to visit. The overall experience was fantastic! All of the dishes exceeded our expectations, from the vodka ceviche, to the porcini dusted filet mignon and everyone's favorite the espresso and chocolate creme brûlée. I strongly recommend Chef Adair for any dinner party!! The food was outstanding and he has a personality to match!! We hope to be able to repeat the experience with him in the near future. read more

My friends and I had the pleasure of having chef Adair prepare us a stunning, intimate meal for 4 at our rented vacation house in Healdsburg. Everything was exceptional, from the quality of ingredients to the great, personalized service. The meal itself was truly fantastic, the sauce on the poached lobster dish is a strong contender for the best thing I've ever tasted. He was really easy to work with, and accommodating of some dietary restrictions. He even made extra fresh pasta for the kids, which was very thoughtful. We have plenty of fine dining experience, but never had a private home meal like this before. It was a wonderful experience, and we are looking forward to working with chef Adair again soon! read more

We had a wonderful evening! Chef Adair created an amazing experience for my family. Our food was delicious and we felt pampered from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend Chef Adair. read more

Meal was amazing. But before that, he made the process very simple. Had a discussion about what the event was for, allowed us to ask questions about what he does and the types of foods he works with. Much of it was locally sourced. We selected a four course dinner and he threw in an awesome dessert! We also went with some wine pairings for each course out of his wine club. Let me tell you everyone loved it. I can honestly say everything was prepared to perfection (he came out and talked about each course), but I think the favorite were the scallops! If could've had just those, would've been happy. But the pulled port was great, the filet cooked quite well. The service overall was excellent. Great staff! If you are looking to do something a little out of the ordinary or splurge a little, he's your guy!!! read more

We hired Chef Adair to prepare dinner for one of the nights of our wellness Retreat in Saint Helena, and it was an incredible night! Leading up to the event, Chef Adair was so great to work with - working with all of our menu specifications and truly excited to cater to all of our special requests! On the night of our dinner, he was such a positive addition to the evening and our guests loved him! He brought such a fun and lighthearted energy, and it was great to have him interact with us and explain each dish before it was served. The food was also perfect and everyone commented on how delicious it was! In short, I was so impressed with him and just enjoyed this stress-free experience from start to finish! Thank you for being so accommodating and kind! :) read more

This was truly one of the most amazing meals our family has ever experienced. We had a private dinner in Sonoma for 11 people. Chef Adair curated our dinner from his original list of suggestions that we were able to prioritize. Every course was Michelin star quality! Our kids ages 27-35 were blown away by the entire dinner, as were we. The service was seamless and we loved the entire crew that were both professional and fun. We will absolutely book Chef Adair anytime we are back in Sonoma! read more

Chef Adair came to us and cooked a beautiful dinner for 9 of us. Every course was absolutely delicious and was beautifully presented. The potato and leek soup with locally sourced ingredients and truffles was unlike anything I've ever tried. The pork and filet mignon chef Adair served for the third and fourth courses were perfectly cooked each with a lovely sauce. And finally the dessert was to die for. I will be dreaming about that bread pudding for a long time! Thank you so much chef Adair. The meal and experience was perfect! read more

Amazing amazing chef!!!The food could not have been better at any three star Michelin restaurant. The service was impeccable and from beginning to end he was fabulous. Could not recommend him more highly. read more

Had the most delightful and delicious dining experience with Chef Adair. He deserves 5 stars and beyond! He's so engaging and obviously a master at his craft. Each dish was a symphony of flavors and paired perfectly with various wines from the region. His assistant Carrie was fantastic as well. If you want a very special evening to remember, go with Chef Adair. read more

When my original caterer was unavailable at the last minute, I got a recommendation for Chef Adair. This was a special surprise Birthday for my husband and I was a little anxious, never having used Chef Adair before. After speaking on the phone, he came to my house and we went over the details. He was delightful. The dinner party was a smash! By far the best catered dinner I've ever had or been to. It was like dining in your very own Michelin four star restaurant. They made it so easy and elegant. I would use him for all future events... read more

We used Chef Adair several times when we lived in Marin, but this was the first time since we moved back to the City. Garrett and I met several weeks before our holiday party and he was unfazed by the fact that our home was still a construction zone. On the evening of the event, he arrived as agreed 3 hours before the start and he was ready to go! Garrett offers a full service dinner including stemware, decorations and very attentive servers. He is an entertaining chef and his food is very high quality, inventive, and incredibly delicious! The party was a success and ran late into the evening. Garrett and his team quietly cleaned up, filled the fridge with leftovers, and left the place sparkling. He and his team exceed expectations! read more

Fantastic food. I found him through yelp and looked at his menu samples on his website and couldn't find anything that didn't sound wonderful. He and his assistant Carrie were very professional and kept the wine and food flowing. We had an amazing night. I would highly recommend them. read more

When looking for private chefs, Sonoma county offers a wide variety of choices. I can say without reservation, that Chef Adair represents the best of the best. The food and service were absolutely exquisite. He utilized the existing kitchen perfectly, was informative and entertaining and made everyone feel totally at ease. The lobster and caviar could have been the highlight of our trip! Bottom line: If you're looking for private chefs, Sonoma county's finest has to be Chef Adair. read more

Hired Chef Adair for a surprise B-day party for my mother on Nov 16, 2013 in Healdsburg. Friends and family were all delighted with the Chef's presentations. The food is as good if not better than any top restaurant in the Healdsburg area. My sister mentioned that she preferred his offerings over "The French Laundry." He was easy to deal with, gives you a wide variety to find something that meets your taste/requirements and exchanged emails and phone calls quickly. His assistant Jenna was extremely efficient as well. Not only was the food great but he is very personable and enjoys chatting with you and guests while he's preparing your dinner. Can't say enough good things about Chef Garrett. Thank you Chef for making my Mom's birthday one she will never forget.. Tom H. read more

Chef Adair is incredible! I hired him and his team for a private 5-course tasting dinner for 13 people and every course was better than the next! We were blown away with the flavors, the combination of ingredients - from beginning to end and down to every last detail, it was the perfect evening. The short rib was probably the highlight of our entire meal (but honestly difficult to choose just one course as the favorite) - literally melted in your mouth. And this coming from someone who hasn't eaten meat in 25 years!! I'm converted. We barely knew he was there yet when we all wanted to chat and see what they were up to in the kitchen, he was more than happy to show us the ropes and teach us a bit about what he was doing. He's super cool, personable and beyond professional. If you want an amazing meal to go with your fabulous evening, then hire Chef Adair. You will NOT be disappointed. He's probably the best chef in Napa and Sonoma and I'd hire him again in a second next time I am visiting. I've never been to his restaurant in Sonoma (Bistro 100), but after our private chef dinner it's top on my list for next time! read more

We hired Chef Adair to cook for our Surprise Elopement Dinner for 10 family members and from start to finish everything went PERFECT. I commented early on to him during the menu planning phase that I was impressed with how organized he was as well as easy to work with ( 10 guests, 1 Vegan, 2 Vegetarian and a Michigan groom who wanted a bloody Steak) He was creative, talented and truthfully so fun and kind - he made the dinner very special and brought his "A" game to our evening.I also want to thank his AMAZING staff. They were awesome! Professional, easy going and everyone at the dinner made mention of it. On top of all of this good stuff when our Wedding Photographer was a no show Chef Adair ran to his car and pulled out his personal Camera and took some pictures! I feel lucky that I found him for this destination event. We highly recommend Chef Adair. It was an honor to have him cook for us~ read more

Chef Adair was a pleasure to work with! He is very enthusiastic about he does! We had a small event (he does very large as well) and he took away a lot of the worry and stress. He offered off-the-menu items and allowed me to choose whatever I wanted from his website menu. He was very prompt and thorough with responses and feedback, as well as providing details for our special day. I was very comfortable working with him. I would highly recommend Chef Adair for his professionalism, understanding, warm personality, and amazing menu! read more

Great caterer! Everyone at our party loved the food, especially the braised short ribs. Chef Adair was great to deal with, very accomodating, detail-oriented, and always happy. He made our event trully special. I highly recommend him and his staff. read more

This is the second time I've hired Chef Adair. First time was for a private dinner for 2 and the second time was for a party of 12. Service, quality of food, presentation and professionalism are top notch. Highly recommended. Garrett (Chef Adair) and his team take great pride in procuring only organic locally grown ingredients. You can tell they love what they do! read more

Garrett is a great guy...he assisted with a 40th bday party for my wife at our house. We had a dozen friends over for dinner and wine. Am a big wine fan so Garrett worked with me to put together a multi course meal where each course was paired with a different wine. He organized rentals, set up when he arrived...and prepared and served meal with this team. Party was great, food was awesome (do not miss duck confit) and he fit right in with full descriptions of each course. Great time and would use him again. read more

Our meal could not have be more perfect. The blue cheese tartlet was amazing! You MUST hire Chef Adair for you next dinner. His personality equaled his food. Just outstanding! read more
