She has helped my children to be more adventurous and try new foods and has made mealtime such an enjoyable experience in our home. I really can't say enough amazing things about her.

Chef Amanda definitely knows how put on the WOW factor…read more I had the pleasure of experiencing her talents first hand while vacationing in LA. My friend Alex invited me to a dinner party at her vacation rental for her birthday. She mentioned having a private chef for the occasion, but I had no idea the experience I was in for. I was presented with a menu created by Chef Amanda with a detailed description of all items and ingredients. My dinner choice was the Spicy "O" blackened filet mignon with the NOLA styled crab cake. I have shellfish allergies but Chef Amanda gladly modified my dish so that I could indulge without an EpiPen. IT WAS TO DIE FOR!!!! I actually think I died and went to heaven. I only came back to life so I could lick the plate. I wasn't the only person with a dietary restriction. She also had a vegan option ready for my friend who failed to RSVP with his choice. She was more than prepared, and I was more impressed. She really demonstrated her attention to detail. She cooks and cares for you like she would her own family. She made feel like family. She is the perfect hybrid mix of Southern Hospitality and Professionalism. I definitely asked my friend Alex for her contact information after that dinner party. Since that trip to LA; I've used Chef Amanda for parties and nutritional advice. I have a lot of friends going vegan and referred them to her as well. She is extremely versatile when it comes creating personalized menus. Her flexibility and flavoring is why she is an amazing personal chef.

After speaking with a few chefs, we selected Chef Salvador because my father and I were impressed with his consultation. We were asked questions regarding her food preferences and were surprised to be sent multiple options characteristic of her taste. Salvador exceeded our expectations by creating an original menu featuring items we knew our mom would love. We chose a five-course meal featuring the following: Ceviche Short ribs with truffled mashed potatoes Duck breast with plum mole and cauliflower purée Spring salad with pomegranate, gorgonzola cheese, candied walnuts, and blood orange vinaigrette Buttercake with berry compote Chef Salvador and his team arrived several hours at my Mother's home in Huntington Beach before we expected our guest of honor. We were impressed with the team's professionalism, the preparation was orchestrated perfectly, and we worried about nothing the entire evening. My Mother and her guests loved every course, every bite, and still rave about the experience. From the initial consultation to the tidy clean-up, every interaction with Chef Peralta was first-class. In fact, we will be hiring him again for my sister-in-law's baby shower next month.

We recently hired Chef Moxie to create the menu and serve our guests at a party at our home on…read moreBalboa Island. Her ideas were creative and perfectly executed the day of the event. This was the 3rd occasion that Chef Moxie has taken the reigns and made us look like real "Foodies". She is always prepared and can handle unforeseen events with aplomb (like the time the electricity went out!) Her forte of heavy hors d'oeuvres and bite-size appetizers is always a hit, but she can do so much more. One of our favorites is the grilled beef tenderloin skewers with smoked paprika aioli. And the sun-dried tomato cheese ball she makes, rolled in pine nuts, is a personal favorite. Her motto to "Eat Elite" is easily brought to fruition with her talent and passion. Chef Moxie is always easy-going and personable during a party, our guests leave raving about the food, usually with one of her cards in hand. If you want a custom menu, delicious food, and great service that exceeds your expectations, then look no further.

All we knew for sure was that my mother -in-law loves Italian food and that's what we wanted. From .the moment we first talked, Sherri was suggesting hors d'oeuvres, pastas and entrees that all sounded delicious. Once we decided on the menu, Sherri handled the rest. She hired the extra staff we'd need and showed up on the day of the party ready to prepare and cook our special meal. The food was exactly what my mom-in-law loves. Everything was made and served to our guests beautifully . Besides some delicious starters and "small bites" that were a big hit with the guests, we had Chicken piccatta, a delicious pasta with pesto sauce, and Sherri's incredible Caesar salad. She and her staff were delightful and convivial, the food was a home run, and my kitchen was left cleaner than when we started! I said to my husband afterwords, that if we had access to Chef Sherri on a regular basis, I could become quite the entertainer! She makes it that simple, easy and delicious. I will definitely use her for my next occasion!

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.

To start, he created the most amazing charcuterie board with bacon-wrapped dates, fresh fruit, and a wonderful selection of meats and cheeses. We also enjoyed a delicious caprese salad with buttered toasted baguettes, followed by flavorful chicken masala served with rice, roasted veggies, and naan bread. For dessert, he made my favorite: yellow cake with chocolate frosting, made even more spectacular with fresh whipped cream and berries. Beyond the food, Daniel is so personable and fun--he created a warm, relaxed, and entertaining atmosphere throughout the evening. He even cleaned the kitchen afterwards, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I will never forget this experience, and I can't recommend Chef Daniel enough if you want to make your event truly special!

We had made it clear how important it was that we had to do minimal setup and clean up (because we didn't want the birthday girl to be working on her birthday), and Chef Daniel and his talented crew made it so easy. He brought exactly what he needed, and they left the place spotless. And the food! Every guest raved about each course. Guests who didn't like fish raved about the seafood. Others who usually don't like bacon-wrapped dates said they finally found a version they loved. And Daniel was thoughtful enough to tailor kid-friendly chocolate sauce for the kids who couldn't have coffee with their affogatos.
