Chef Peter is the real deal. I contacted him to cater our firm's holiday party this year. From…read morefirst contact to the two months leading up to the event, he was responsive and kind. He worked with me on a menu and he delivered my vision. Even with extreme circumstances (another vendor broke our garage door 24 hours before the event) Chef Peter and his crew took it in stride. They were on time and hauled their heavy equipment in and got straight to work. He was basically cooking/grilling on one side of our building (back patio), having to run back forth to the interior kitchen and sink. He and his crew worked SO hard that night. They are very professional. Every plate was perfect, they cleared the tables and made sure everything was spotless when they left. I also hired Jacob the Bartender (he works with Chef Peter) and WOW! Crafted cocktails and excellent service. Every person who was late to my party was sat and had a drink in their hand in less than a few minutes. Jacob was a pleasure to work with. Great bartender. I could not ask for a better duo for the night. Also big thanks to Tomas and Erick - their waitstaff. Amazing night they pulled off. I'm a perfectionist. Type A host. I'm very particular on how I throw my parties and Chef Peter surpassed my expectations & more. My entire firm will not shutup about how amazing the food and service was. The party was a hit and I believe it was because of the food & bar. I will 100% hire this team again for future events.

Chef Ronnie came to our house with his assistant Lisa (I think - sorry!) and they were both just awesome. Ronnie is super down-to-earth and totally friendly. My friends and I were super obnoxious and loud and asking ridiculous questions and he seemed to have fun right along with us. Also, and maybe this should have come first, but his food was also absolutely amazing. He worked with my husband for almost two months coming up with a menu that I would love...and I did. Wow. The first course of a salad was amazing and it just got better from there to the pesto pasta, the shrimp dish, the steak and then two desserts! We were absolutely stuffed. He also left the kitchen cleaner than before he got there! I would highly recommend him. Definitely 5 stars!

I hired Daniella to help with recovery after a surgery that required a special diet. She made my…read morerecovery as painless as it could be, and I credit her nutritious food with helping me heal faster. Before the surgery, I sent her my doctor-provided list of foods I could and couldn't eat along with my personal preferences. She immediately created a rough template for 3 meals a day, plus snacks. Each morning, she brought my food for the day, and at night after I had finished it all, we would talk or text so that I could give her any feedback. She would adjust the next day's meals, and we did the same process each day for about 10 days. Her food was delicious, made with quality ingredients and packed well. But just as important, she was so easy to work with and, frankly, so accommodating to my smallest feedback. She was also always so quick to respond. Literally, I could text her, see the Read notification, then see her typing within seconds. This happened most of the time. I don't think I ever had to wait more than 10 minutes to get a response. Amazing! Truly, the only thing I looked forward to each day was her food - it was that good! When I was in pain and depressed, that little happiness each day made all the difference to me. There were some dark days during those 10 days of recovery, but I'll always remember her and her food with fondness.

We took Chef Francesca's Italian Steakhouse class and needless to say, we'll definitely be back. the food was absolutely delicious and Chef Francesca's was so patient and kind. I am personally not the most experienced cook and she made me feel like I was an expert in the kitchen. We even had leftovers to take home for the next day. I love how simple she made everything and a bonus is she sent us home with the recipes and suggestions on where to get the ingredients if we wanted to recreate the meal again at home. Definitely recommend Cozy Meal for a fun date night adventure. And especially Chef Francesca's class!

The universe gifted an opportunity for a friends reunion in Orange County, about halfway for…read moreeveryone / home for no one. I had 2 weeks to plan dinner, one guest has food allergies and a couple preferred to NOT dine in public. I rented a house with a nice kitchen (and made sure the owner knew it was for a dinner party), but now I needed a chef. I had many referrals from local friends, but everyone they recommended were either booked or not suited for a small dinner party. With 8 days left, I did what I should have done in the first place and checked Yelp. Mint was highly rated, had excellent reviews, and seemed to do smaller events. I sent an inquiry overnight, explained what I was trying to accomplish -- hire an in-home private chef, to cater dinner for 4, and included the list of food allergies. I woke up to an email from Angela -- it was very courteous, succinct, with an attached 1-pager of pricing AND a of list items to choose in each course (4 courses / 1 item each). Folks: this is how you do business, it make as easy as possible to say yes. Nobody else I communicated with was this responsive, and this easy to work with. The type of cuisine (to me: fresh / farm to table / New American) was what everyone would enjoy, with great options in each course, and their pricing was in-the-ballpark. I replied with my choices, they sent a link to contract and pay by credit card, and we were booked/confirmed in 3 emails spanning a couple hours. [[thank you!]] Menu: * English cucumber topped with blackened shrimp whipped avocado cream cheese & microgreens * Arugula salad with blueberries, avocado goat cheese, lemon honey vinaigrette * Seared Ribeye Strip with shallot peppercorn sauce Lemon roasted broccolini, sweet potato mash * Chocolate flourless cake with fresh whipped cream & berries AND the Salted Caramel banana bread pudding with vanilla ice cream [[life hack: you CAN order 2 deserts, and yes it cost more, and f-yes it was worth it]] Day-of was flawless: Chef Jacyln arrived with everything to prepare dinner, was flexible on timing and service. The guests were drinking and chatting with her while we snacked on the first course. We sat for the salad, which was tasty and a perfect pallet cleanser. I devoured the entree and dug-deep for the self-control to NOT lick the plate. Everyone loved desert, not everyone would have loved either of the deserts, so I was pleased I opted for both (not just because I ate both). Chef Jaclyn was fun to watch and talk to, and did a masterful job of fading when were talking about something else. She made-do with the cookware/plates/etc in the AirBnB, the only thing we lacked were containers to take leftovers home (our fault!). She served us, and cleaned up (spot-less), which I wasn't expecting. The whole experience was 10/10 - I cannot wait to book and host again. Thank you Mint and Chef Jaclyn!

Every dish was absolutely delicious and plated with stunning presentation. Chef Charlie even provided printed menus for each of us, adding such a thoughtful touch. Beyond the food, he was warm, conversational, and engaging--clearly putting intention and heart into every detail. We would definitely use his services again and recommend him without hesitation. A perfect anniversary dinner!
