I hired Hey Chef to help with the stress of entertaining up to 36 guests over the Thanksgiving…read moreweek. They were scheduled to serve lunch for 21 and dinner for 36 on Wednesday 11/26, as well as 32 for dinner on Friday 11/28. Wednesday lunch was tasty, however the brioche slider buns per the menu were actually regular Safeway rolls, not brioche. 12 for $6.49! The dessert fell short of anything remotely high level. The brownies on skewers with fruit were dry and fell off the skewers. Wednesday dinner was a disaster. I ordered food for 36 people. We only had 32 including 6 kids, so we should have had plenty. We ran out of asparagas 2/3 of the way thru the line. the platter had enough for 12-15 people. The shrimp - one of the two main courses - ran out as well. I will try to attach a picture of the shrimp before anyone touched it! The photo (pre-serving) looks like there couldn't have been more than 40-50 shrimp. The chef told me he purchased 4-5/person. That would have been 180 shrimp! That was an out and out lie. I ate nothing, as we ran out of food. The owner did tell me afterwards that she looked at the grocery receipt, and he hadn't purchased enough. The dessert was not cake as planned. It appeared to be more of the same brownies, and they were not great. Friday dinner was okay. It was a taco bar. The chef put too much rice in the pot, and it boiled over onto our hardwood floor, rice and all. Then lots of wet garbage was put into the trash compactor, breaking it. The food was tasty and there was enough, but there was nothing high-end about it. Since the event, the owner admitted to me that they had never used the chef before. This was a huge mistake to send out an unknown for 3 large, very expensive meals. There was nothing "gourmet" about his preparation or presentation. Also, the owner admitted to me that the chef knew he was going to be short on dinner on Wednesday. He had a 3 hour break between the two services when he could have purchased more food. We believe that we were grossly overcharged for the chef's time. We were charged over 24 hours for his time alone on Wednesday. The food was supposed to be prepared in our home, but most of it was not. I was not presented with the grocery receipts, so I imagine those could have been inflated. With 21 for lunch, and 32 for both of the dinners, I paid $150/person/meal - over $13,000. And when you consider that one of the meals was a taco bar, the price was outrageous. I hired Hey Chef to ease my stress through the week-long holiday with a lot of guests. Instead, I was embarrassed by the shortcomings and more stressed. I expected the owner to handle these issues more professionally and issue a decent partial refund. I was offered a $300 credit towards a future booking! I am disappointed in Hey Chef for not taking responsibility for failing to come close to our expectations. I would certainly not use their services again, nor would I recommend them.

Some standout observations include: - One of our guests had specific dietary needs, including no dairy, and Miranda made dairy-free versions specifically for them. She was accommodating for all our one-off requests and tailored the menu perfectly for us. - All our communication leading up to the event was clear, prompt, and warm. - The grill at our AirBnB wasn't working and Miranda pivoted seamlessly without skipping a beat. - She plated & served everything at the table for us, cleared dishes, and cleaned everything before she left. She did things like refill our drinks, boxed up leftovers, etc. We didn't have to lift a finger for anything from start to finish. - The food was *amazing* and everyone was impressed. The meals were truly 10/10. Of all the activities we did during our group trip in Tahoe, this dinner service stood out as the top highlight. We are so grateful for a top tier dining experience from a friendly, professional team. I can't recommend Tahoe Mountain Tapas highly enough. If you have the opportunity to book her, you have to do it!

One of my biggest concerns was putting together a menu for 7 people that would accommodate a couple dairy-free attendees + 2 picky children. Amy reassured me she could make this work, and boy... she delivered! The menu we went with: - Cheese & Charcuterie Board (GORGEOUS and full of tasty treats) - Pear & Pomegranate Salad (Chef Amy and Chef Maddie deconstructed the salad for my kiddos. We ALL loved it) - Filet mignon, twice-baked potatoes, and shallot green beans. (Incredible. My husband, a meat lover, declared this the best filet he's ever eaten). Never had I ever thought a dairy-free twice baked potato could taste THAT good. - Individual Chocolate Lava Cakes (need I say more?) It was an incredibly special night. The food was absolutely fantastic. Chef Amy & Chef Maddie were fun to chat with, and also catered to us like we were in a fancy restaurant. 10/10 highly recommend.

From the moment we began planning to the moment we finished dessert, Mike and his team were an absolute joy to work with. First Mike showed his patience with me, a picky foodie who had some food allergies to worry about for certain guests, but nothing was an obstacle for him. Totally flexible and very accommodating. Not only did he customer several items for us depending on varying preferences, but he hooked us up with our rental gear as well - placing the initial order and letting us customize as we saw fit. Next - the actual wedding. His crew showed up and took care of everything. I had honestly planned on having some family members set up our tables, etc for the dinner but his peeps took care of it. They completely worked around us without causing much stir and were incredibly friendly to boot. On to the food - ho.ly.cow. The fingerling potatoes were by far the greatest hit of the night because that pesto knocked everybody's socks off. The salad was petite and got everybody excited for the main meal. The veggies were perfect and the fish/vegetarian entrees were exquisite. Everybody raved about the food and we ended with chocolate covered strawberries and perfectly portioned chocolate chip cookies. Finally - his team cleaned the whole kitchen and disassembled everything so quickly, we could hardly tell they were there after they had packed up and gone. So professional, so kind and very talented. We could not have chosen a better, more perfectly suited chef and meal for us. What a great find!
