Not knowing a sole at the beach - I did a search and found Petit a Petit and met Tosha. After weekly changes to the guest list, Tosha created a fabulous menu. She and her assistant chef arrived right on time - while we were outside having the wedding ceremony - they set up a beautiful charcuterie board And got to work on a fabulous meal. They prepared and served an elegant meal to 20 guests featuring short ribs, broccIllini, tomato burrata salad, shrimp and grits, and sweet potato fries! Truly a wonderful experience with some great people.

We booked a five-course prix fixe tasting menu to be prepared in our beach rental for what was a very special evening--my daughter's surprise proposal, with our entire family together from different parts of the country. This was a once-a-year family gathering and a once-in-a-lifetime event. The experience leading up to the event was extremely disappointing. Earlier in the week, I received a reminder to pay the remaining balance, which I did immediately, so I had every reason to believe we were confirmed. On Tuesday, several days before the dinner planned for Sunday, I emailed to confirm our reservation, ask for an arrival time, and again let him know that this dinner was centered around a surprise proposal. I received no response. I reached out again on Wednesday through his website, again with no response. I also explained that I would be traveling on Thursday with my daughter and would have limited ability to communicate. At 5:00 p.m. on Thursday--the day we had left for our trip--I finally received an email saying that his assistant had accidentally double-booked him and that he would not be coming. The alternatives offered were brunch on the same day as the proposal or dinner the following week after we had already returned home. Neither was a realistic option. He also suggested another chef but left it to me to make the arrangements, despite knowing I was traveling. He later offered to drop off prepared food for us to heat and plate ourselves, which completely changed as unrealistic and missed the point of hiring a private chef for a special occasion. We ultimately had to scramble to find a replacement chef at the last minute and ended up paying approximately four times what we had originally budgeted simply because we had no other choice. While we were incredibly grateful to find someone, it added unnecessary stress to what should have been one of the happiest evenings our family has shared together. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. What was most disappointing was the lack of communication, the late notice, and the absence of a meaningful effort to make things right. For an event of this importance, reliability is every bit as important as culinary talent. I cannot comment on the food because we never had the opportunity to experience it. I can only speak to the complete lack of accountability, and based on that experience, I would not feel comfortable relying on this chef for an important event where timing and dependability matter.

Prices are a bit in the higher side. I like that the menu offerings change (like what flavors are offered) and I want to try some cookies and the gooey butter cake next time!

My experience can be summed up in three words, " not worth it". I've lived in the area over 40…read moreyears and I've eaten at almost all the restaurants this area has to offer. My wife and I received a gift certificate as a wedding gift and decided to go on Tuesday June 24th. We chose the test kitchen which samples wines with three foods. First of all, we chose the VIP seats, which were $85 each as opposed to the house seats which are $75 each. I'm still trying to figure out what I got for the extra $20 when we were seated further away from the Chef than anyone else. Then I was disappointed to find out that the owner had given the day off to her entire staff because of a big event the day before. So effectively, we were in the "hangover" category for customers. I have no concern about a special event the day before, but it should not affect the service and the presentation of the food, and right off the bat I felt like we were getting short changed because everybody was given a day off. Next, all we got was a salad and a serving of wine, then a piece of flatbread with a little bacon and potatoes on it and a serving of wine, then another salad, which was cucumber slices with some whipped cheese on top, and a serving of wine. I was expecting three distinct dishes instead of a couple of salads and an appetizer. She did give us some pasta salad to go that was left over from the previous event as well as a sample container (ala lunchables) which had some chicken salad, watermelon, grapes, and Gouda cheese. She also threw in a small dessert. Honestly, I would've done better at a deli at Publix, where we could've gotten something equivalent along with a bottle of wine and still saved $100. After leaving, I felt like we needed to go through a drive-through fast food restaurant to actually have a meal. This was definitely not worth $170. I would've much rather spent that at a restaurant and had a full meal with a bottle of wine. Maybe my experience was not good because of the event the day before, but I can only judge it by the time that we were there. Maybe it's like this every time which is why I'm writing this review. If it's not like this every time then why were we short changed? Not recommending this to anyone. Thankful for the gift from my son and his wife, but the money could've been better used elsewhere.
