    Chef Eric B - Heirloom tomato and burrata salad

    Chef Eric B

    This review is long overdue!…read more Eric was a joy to work with. He was prompt with communication, and provided perfect recommendations for my private, birthday party dinner. His menu selections were top notch, and my husband and I were thrilled with the outcome. We did 3 appetizers before the 4 course meal began. We did the elote (street corn) appetizer, tuna tartare, and lamb chop. Of note, I don't eat lamb at all, but Eric's Lamb chop was AN AMAZING FLAVOR BOMB! I appreciated that him and his server showed up prepared with all of their supplies (and small plates for serving). For dinner, we had the heirloom tomato and burrata salad, followed by the char grilled octopus, then the Australian Wagyu steak with creme brûlée to finish. The menu was superb, Eric presented his gorgeous plates with detail and attention, and (of course) they cleaned up everything after! This was a PHENOMENAL experience, and we are already looking to book Eric again for my husband's birthday! Eric, you are an artist and amazing chef! Thank you for offering this wonderful experience and making my birthday memorable!

    We hired Chef Eric for a private dinner in Oceanside. He was great with communication, offered a…read morelot of options for the meals, and made coordination very easy. The food was absolutely incredible with generous portions. I highly recommend also upgrading to the server, who served, refilled our glasses, and made us feel like royalty. Eric and his server were great to talk to, executed flawlessly, and left our kitchen spotless before leaving. One of the best meals of our lives, hands down.

    There are no shortage of great things to say about Chef Josh. We've used him twice now for…read moredifferent celebrations and he has knocked it out of the park each time. In fact, after his latest visit we all agreed we needed to start bringing him in quarterly. Chef's cooking style is best described as transformative. He takes ingredients you'd never dream of being the star of the dish and makes it the most delicious thing you've ever tasted. Our last dinner we reqested to be completely vegetarian and he did not disappoint. Even the non-vegetarian at the dinner was blown away and left being the perfect amount of full. My husband avoids certain veggies in our day to day (texture) and the way Chef Josh cooks - well we've never left a plate bare, I can tell you that much. And when Chef Josh isn't looking.. we may have licked our plates clean. Pickling, crisping, pureeing, caramelizing - everything he puts in front of you "WOWs". Besides the food he serves, which is well worth the money, Josh's service is unparalleled. He is prompt, friendly and wonderful to chat with. He brings everything in and does all clean up as if he was never even there. Whether it's a date night, an intimate gathering or a group to impress - I would recommend hiring Chef Josh 110%. If you're even considering a private chef, look no further because there truly is no better!

    We had Josh serve us for my wife's 60th birthday! Josh did an incredible job and exceeding our…read moreexpectations. This was the first time we have ever used an in house chef for a dinner party. Josh made the entire process seamless and handled all of the details. He arrived on time and left our house cleaner than before he arrived. We had 3 amazing appetizers, a wonderful white fish dish, phenomenal beet salad and over the top steak and gnocchi main course. Josh topped off the evening with a pear fruit and cake desert. Josh was very personable and was very interactive throughout the entire evening. Thank you very much for making my wife's birthday a memorable evening. I highly recommend Josh is you are looking a personal chef.

    If I could give Chef Stacy 10 stars, I would. I was looking for a private chef for my girlfriend's…read morebirthday, and I connected with Stacy through Yelp. She responded right away, and as soon as we spoke on the phone, we had a menu picked out surprisingly quickly! I told her about my girlfriend's food likes and dislikes, and she gave great recommendations of her favorite dishes to prepare. On the day of the dinner, she arrived right on time - an hour before appetizers. All I had to do was point her to the kitchen, and she took care of the rest! She prepared the food and also served for our party of 7 (6 adults and 1 child). She even did the dishes as she needed them! She prepared an amazing asian dip served with snap peas and rice crackers, grilled shrimp on avocado and cucumber, a salad with greens, mandarin oranges, feta, dried cranberries, candied pecans with a balsamic vinaigrette, a baked risotto with spinach and artichoke hearts, grilled asparagus, and a macadamia, coconut, panic crusted salmon with sweet chili sauce and wasabi yogurt. She finished the dinner with a chocolate mousse. When the dinner ended, you would never have guessed that a 7 course meal was just prepared in our kitchen. It was spotless. Everyone RAVED about how amazing the dinner was. Overall, she made the evening quite memorable, and I would absolutely positively have Stacy do another dinner for us in the future. HIGHLY recommend.
