I had steak with mashed potatoes, zucchini, and a salad (with buttermilk battered fried chicken) that was like a meal unto itself. The presentation was excellent, the conversation (with Chef Patrick) was both entertaining and educational, and the experience was, not only very fun, but an incredible value. I would, quite honestly, do it monthly, if I lived a little closer to his home base. Thank you, Patrick, for a real first-class experience! Jeff Kolovrat McLeansville, NC

Private Chef Charleston provided the food and bar for our niece's engagement party last weekend and…read morethey were amazing! Our niece and her fiance are pescatarian, so Private Chef Charleston designed a delicious menu to delight them as well as our guests: beautiful shrimp, deviled eggs, seared tuna, pasta salad, grilled asparagus, delectable cheeses, brownie bites, key lime tarts, hot crab dip, and more. They offered a top-shelf full bar, but also set up dispensers of iced tea and Pimm's Cups, which were so refreshing for a summer party. They arrived at 3 pm to set up and my husband and I actually got to relax, get dressed, and enjoy the party! The cleanup was just as amazing--they packaged all the leftovers in our refrigerator and washed and dried every single platter, dish, and utensil. We are still receiving rave reviews from our guests and we can't wait to work with them again! We give Private Chef Charleston our highest recommendation!

We topped it all off with a wonderful Zabaglione and mixed berries. Aside from using simple flavors, his presentation was wonderful as well!

My mom and I took the food tour in Charleston. I appreciated the meeting place which was a store…read morefront where water and tea was offered, a bathroom and most importantly, air conditioning. It was very hot but our tour guide Michael was very considerate about keeping us in the shade while telling us some local history. The restaurants we went to were all very close so the walking part was easy. We very much enjoyed all of the food on the tour. They were mainly things I probably would not order so it was fun to taste new things. The portions were just right too! Our group had 14 people but Michael did a nice job of sharing his knowledge and explaining what we were eating on both sides of the table so we all were included on the information. Michael was very friendly and easy to listen to. We very much enjoyed all of the stories and historical information! We learned a lot!

If you're thinking about ordering, it's going to be a good decision. Stop thinking about it. Just do it! Thank you again for helping me surprise my sister Naama.

We have a couple of foodies in our crowd, and no one was disappointed! Two completely different menus were both delicious; and cooked to perfection with wonderfully complex flavors complementing but not overwhelming the high quality, fresh ingredients. As if that wasn't enough, Jessica is not only a talented cook, but also totally organized, making the preparation, delivery, and clean up look effortless. Highly recommended!! We had two under-sixes in the group as well, and dinner with JLOKitchens was so much more fun than hauling them out to a restaurant. Treat yourself! You'll be glad you did!

I hired JLoKitchens for my best friend's bachelorette party. Everything was great until 2 days…read morebefore the event. 8 of us drove down from Atlanta. This was going to be my special gift to my best friend because she loves yoga and cooking. It was perfect. I made tank tops for all the bachelorettes to wear during yoga with cute yoga sayings on them. I went out of my way to get tables for the cooking class and everything. Two days before the event JLoKitchens confirmed that we would start at 930AM and then out of no where she cancelled the entire thing on me - yes, two days before the event. She stated she had been sick since Sunday but yet, didn't tell me then and therefore left me with no time to make plans. This was going to be the highlight of our weekend - she ruined it. She had told me that she was cooking, but a woman Tarah would be the yoga instructor. I said, I expect Tarah will still be there and that she can bring the food with her (and we'll just have to cook for ourselves). She wouldn't explain to me why Tarah was also suddenly available. As a professional, responsible business owner she should have had a back-up plan in place especially if she wasn't feeling well earlier in the week. Also, she never explained what happened to Tarah which leads me to believe she just dropped the ball and didn't book this despite us having been in communication for several months. She said sorry and refunded my deposit promptly but didn't fix the mess she created. It's not even about the money - I'm heartbroken that I won't be able to give my best friend this special gift and that we have such a bad experience associated with this weekend. If you're going to work with JLoKitchens you better have a back up plan.
