The food was incredible - you could tell the freshest ingredients were prepared, with such attention to detail. And while we loved all of the menu items, I have to say the crudites were the surprise hit of the evening. Stephen used the freshest of vegetables, and he pickled them divinely. We literally couldn't stop eating the vegetables (in addition to the rest of the meal). We certainly look forward to working with Stephen again. He has a true passion for his craft, and you can taste it in his food.

From start to finish, the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. Chef Albert made the process of choosing the menu super easy and was more than happy to accommodate all our preferences. The meal began with two appetizers--hamachi crudo (melt-in-your-mouth fresh) and bacon-wrapped asparagus (perfect savory flavor). The broccoli cheddar soup was rich and creamy followed by a panzanella salad. The highlight of the evening was the 8oz filet mignon, cooked to absolute perfection--tender and juicy. To end the night, we indulged in a crème brûlée. I had never done anything like this before, and my now-husband and our family have been raving about the food and experience. If you're looking for a private chef who delivers above-and-beyond service, do not hesitate to book this team. They truly made our wedding day unforgettable!
