With less than two weeks' notice and almost no input from me (other than guest count and general preferences), Chef Bear prepared a beautiful dinner for our extended family and completely handled everything with ease, warmth, and total professionalism. We were a group of ten, including kids, and every single person raved about the food. The menu was creative, beautifully presented, and somehow managed to feel both elevated and totally comforting after a long beach day. Even the pickiest eaters were happy! The whole evening felt relaxed, seamless, and incredibly special--like a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of our beach house. So incredibly relaxing after a long day on the beach with kids. We're already talking about doing it again next year. If you're considering a private chef for your family or group, don't hesitate--Chef Bear is an absolute gem read more

Perfection! Chef Bear did a last minute Father's Day dinner for us and it was amazing! Appetizer of Charcuterie board and seared scallops. Main course: Caesar salad, Rosemary butter salmon, macaroni and cheese, smashed potatoes, broccolini. Dessert was fruit, carrot cake and chocolate mouse cake. Everything was delicious and no work for me :) He does all the cooking and cleaning up afterward. Great for a party bc you get to really enjoy your guests. Very professional and sweet also, he had my 9 yo girl help and she loved it! Highly recommend read more
