Luckily Andrew was available on Xmas day and he made everything so easy. No lies, I was worried at first since it's my fist time reaching out to a private chief . We went through his menu and believe me , it wasn't easy to choose... he has all the good stuff out there . We picked wagyu , hamachi , sea bass, pear salad , and scallops It's was BOMB.com !

Adam Small and his team were recommended to us by a family member who also used his services for…read moreher wedding. We could not be happier with the recommendation as the appetizers and entrées were absolutely stunning -- both in flavor and aesthetics! Our biggest difficulty was choosing dishes from his diverse catalog of offerings since they all sounded delicious. He was also very accommodating and made various adjustments to account for particular food allergies that some of our guests had (without compromising on flavor at all). For appetizers, we chose: - Pepper-Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna (Seka Hills EVOO, Sicilian Pesto, Herbs) - Ratatouille Tarts (Puff Pastry, Seka Hills EVOO, Parmigiano Reggiano) - Pistachio Flatbread (Onion, Burrata, Honey, and Chili Oil -- this one was a extra-huge hit with all guests) For dinner, we started with a Local Harvest Salad (Farm Vegetables, Fruit, Vinaigrette, Cheese, and Nuts -- plating was particularly beautiful for the salad), and had three entrée options: - Wagyu New York Steak (Imperial American Wagyu, Roasted Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, Potato Galette, and Red Wine Jus) - Signature Duck (Mary's Crusted Duck Breast, Hind-Quarter Confit, Potato Cake, Charred Vegetables, and Duck Jus) - Roasted Butternut Squash with Cannellini Beans (Charred Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, and Saffron-Rosemary Broth) Throughout our entire wedding and afterwards, guests were telling us how impressed they were and that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! He and his team arrived right on schedule, set up (including silverware and plates) cooked and served outstanding food, provided extremely attentive service, and then cleaned up, leaving the kitchen absolutely spotless (while also deftly navigating a brief power outage!). We cannot recommend Adam Small Cooks highly enough! His food, attention to detail, and service are truly next level. Thank you again for making our wedding so special!

Chef Adam was amazing!!!…read more We celebrated a friend's birthday with 6 people at an Airbnb in Sonoma. We had a six course menu (see below for details) that was excellent! For the vegetarian in the group (me) he was able to whip up a wonderful dish when everyone else was eating halibut. Every single dish was a stand out and the group was so happy with how everything turned out. This was a wish of the birthday girl - to have a private chef and to spend time with her girlfriends. She was blown away by the experience. The 6 course meal included: Fried Baby Artichokes: lemon aioli, herbs, chili oil Flatbread: preserved truffle, pistachios, onion, burrata, honey, chili oil Ash Roasted Beets: kimchi honey, pistachios, ravigote, feta Charred Zucchini Agnolotti: fried sage, brown butter, lemon, pepper, parmigiana Seared Halibut: fennel-potato salad, herbs, haricot vert, preserved truffle champagne sauce Under-Baked Chocolate Cake: Italian meringue, Luxardo cherries, cocoa nibs Also, our kitchen was left spotless! Thanks again Chef Adam for giving us the perfect first day of our trip!

Having someone to do menu planning and grocery shopping was a huge time saver and ensured that we had home-cooked meals to eat rather than falling back to ordering takeout every night. Johanna provided a wide variety in her meals. Most menus came directly from her, but sometimes I would request certain types of food or specific dishes she had made in the past that were our favorites. Johanna tailored her menus to meet my dietary restrictions (low saturated fat). She always left the kitchen clean with clear instructions for the meals and even some cooking tips along the way! Johanna came every 2 weeks but was flexible around holidays and vacation. Would absolutely recommend her services!

My (now) husband is a severe Celiac and so making sure all food is completely Gluten-free was the number one concern. The Chef was quick to respond and so helpful in brainstorming a potential menu for the event (we settled on Mexican). She then got started on putting together the recipes and gathering the proposed ingredient list. This is where the Chef went above and beyond for us-she sent us the full recipes and proposed ingredients(down to the specific brands) so that we could ensure that everything was free from gluten and free from cross-contamination (a shocking amount of spices are processed on the same equipment as wheat). She even was able to find a way to make gluten free Tres Leches and Tiramisu (our favorites). For our wedding cakes! Menu: Crudités with Green Goddess Dip Queso Fundido with Chorizo Pico de Gallo Chopped Salad Chili Verde Stew Slow Cooked Barbocoa Tacos Roasted Zucchini Sweet Bell Pepper Rice Spicy Citrus Black Beans Tres Leches with strawberries Tiramisu Preparation: The chef packaged up all of our food so that my sister could pick it up and transport it (our venue was 4 hours north of the bay). She provided detailed instructions for reheating the food and prepping the cakes. She even made sure we would have any additional utensils that would be necessary. She gave me an accurate and in-depth invoice that broke down the expenses and made it easy to work into our wedding budget. Food: WOW WOW WOW! The best part (obviously) was the food! Everything was fresh and vibrant and so so delicious! The Queso provided the best cheese pull I have ever seen and my husband and I are still drooling over that Tres Leches and my family keeps bringing up how incredible the dinner was! Additionally my husband was able to freely eat everything to his hearts content, confident that he wouldn't become ill on our special day. I cannot recommend Chef Johanna enough!!

This place delivers fresh, flavorful bento boxes with high quality ingredients and top quality cooking techniques. So far, I've had the wagyu yakiniku bento and wagyu hamburger bento. For my first time, I ordered the wagyu yakiniku bento via delivery and I was already blown away -- perfectly grilled, moist, and seasoned just right. Everything tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared. The wagyu hamburger steak was also a generous size and juicy and flavorful. I've been to Japan 3x and this was exactly what I look for in a hanbaga steak. So glad this is around now! The portions are generous, and the prices are super reasonable for the quality. The chef/owner is also private chef. Check out Koshin Bento's website to learn more. Koshin Bento is a win for the Bay Area. Since delivery prices are getting high, I do also recommend just picking up. There's tons of parking at that location. Support small businesses like Koshin Bento! They keep Bay Area unique and we need to keep the talented chefs like here.

I also booked a harpist to play that day. I texted Luis on 6/28 morning to confirm since I had not heard anything from him before. He texted and told me to call him, and told me he had an emergency surgery and was out for 2 weeks. I'm not sure when the surgery took place either before or after the date but I was NEVER informed prior. Thankfully I did not put in a deposit but I did not anticipate on being left in the dust with zero communication especially since I had to text first...Luis apologized and offered a "zero transportation fee" for a next booking. Now I get things come up, but it was confirmed for that month, and I am unsure how my date was missed. I typically don't write reviews, but this was upsetting. The text messages show I had to cancel a musician right after Luis called me. And the emails shown below are of the confirmations and draft menu.

Food was fresh, portions were generous, and most importantly everything was juicy and delicious. Don't sleep on this place and order through door dash, grub hub, or Uber eats. You can also walk in and order on the kiosk as well and try to meet the chef! Make sure you come earlier in the day or they will sell out. Let's break down the dishes: Hennessy Chicken: Glazed chicken thigh on a bed of rice with veggies and side salad. The chicken was moist, juicy, and full of flavor. Australian Wagyu Steak: Cooked perfectly medium rare on a bed of rice and veggies and served with a Chimichurri sauce that is to die for! I def wanted more sauce because it's too good. Caramelized Pork Belly + Eggs This is your mama's comfort food elevated on another level. Nice and peppery but also sweet. Quail eggs is a nice touch versus your traditional chicken egg. Lovely flavors and very homey. Definitely looking forward to trying the sea bass and other up and coming dishes being added to the menu!

We had the Hennessy chicken, braised pork belly and quail eggs, and Australian wagyu. All the portions were generous, flavorful, unique, and included rice and a side salad.

Sweet, flavorful, and sauced just right. The Australian wagyu was delivered and presented on a bed of lettuce, cooked to a perfect medium rare, finished with a savory brown sauce and included an Asian twist of chimmi churry. That combination melts in your mouth and the chimmi churry always keeps your taste buds entertained. Will be coming back for more !
