I cannot say enough great things about Chef Jamie and Meal Mate DC! We're in California and had…read moresecured a beautiful Airbnb in DC for the weekend of our daughter's college graduation. We decided that, rather than try to find a restaurant for all the extended family in for the graduation, we would host a private dinner at the Airbnb prepared by a professional chef. We interviewed a number of chefs and Meal Mate was by far the best. Most creative ideas, most responsive, and best enthusiasm for the project! We signed with them months ahead of the date, and as it drew closer, I started getting reminders from Chef Jamie. Some questions, more ideas. On event day, Chef Jamie and Chef Nathan showed up exactly on time and started getting to work. First, the table was set beautifully with linen napkins and personalized menus/place cards. As guests arrived, we were all treated with a specialty cocktail and delightful appetizers. And then dinner. Wow!! Maybe the best ribeye steak ever. Wonderfully seasoned and incredibly tender. The sides were all great but that steak - oh, my lord. Dessert was a matcha tiramisu and it was the perfect finish! Throughout the night, the service was so smooth and then, before we knew it, the kitchen was cleaner than when they arrived and they were off. Like I said, I can't say enough great things about Meal Mate. Book them for your next event!!

Every piece of the experience was crafted to fit our needs, from a hands on lesson to historical analysis to a wonderful meal itself!

Please please PLEASE hire these professionals for any culinary dreams you have, and they are sure to bring them to life.

The reception's Mediterranean station was beautiful and fresh. The dinner buffet menu imaginative and delicious. One particularly surprising touch was they sent passed items to the tables to tempt the guests AFTER they had already been thru the buffet. Very thoughtful! I've had spanikopita countless times before but not with their herb crusted filo. Oh my God they were good! Their wait staff were friendly and well trained, not some hacks off of Craig's List. They never let dirty glasses or plates pile up. The bartenders didn't let long lines build up and we never ran out of glasses, ice, or liquor. Per request, we had plenty of non-alcoholic options. (You must try the Persian Iced Tea; it is sooo refreshing!) I met the kitchen staff and they were as organized, professional, and polite as could be. The venue we chose (Cylburn Arboretum) loves them. I'm sure The Pantry can pull off a traditional American wedding menu but we went for a foodie experience and they delivered.

Given…read morethese Covid times we're living through, we previously resigned ourselves to not doing much more than homemade brunch for one another and pledged to celebrate at a later date. But I had another plan. Chef Kevin worked with me to perfectly execute my vision of a romantic dinner for two in the comfort and serenity of our home. He even participated in the little rouse to ensure my wife remained surprised to the very last moment. He prepared a 4 coarse Italian inspired dinner for two, tailored to our specific tastes and liking. His food was delicious and cooked with precision. The service was tremendous. He took extra Covid safety precautions that made us feel confortable and secure. He left me kitchen spotless with only evidence that he had been there was our full stomachs and our neatly packed leftovers on the countertop. My Wife and I would like to thank Chef Kevin of Concierge Cuisine for helping to make our 10th anniversary the unforgettable occasion to deserved to be.
