The experience from start to finish was excellent, and I cannot recommend them enough. Our group was a bit complicated with dietary restrictions, including shellfish allergy, gluten-free, vegan, no red meat, and no pork. Chef Rich worked with my husband and me on the menu over a few phone calls to make sure we could accommodate all our guests. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt included in the experience with thoughtful substitutions based on each person's dietary need! At his creative suggestion, Chef Rich brought an additional assistant/bartender to create a "cocktail hour" for us. The bartender crafted a signature drink that all could enjoy and made a selection of cocktails based on our group's preference. The team was friendly, professional, and clearly cared about providing an outstanding experience. We are so thankful for them and we were all so impressed. Hire them, you will not regret it.

He prepared 3-courses that featured a smoked trout appetizer, a perfectly cooked filet, and a memorable chocolate dessert - each course was exceptional. Chef Rich was organized, punctual, and communicated very well. Since we were staying at an AirBnb, we did not know what dinnerware would be available so Chef even brought plates and silverware. After the meal, he left the kitchen cleaner and in better shape than he found it. We will be raving about this experience for years. If you are looking for a private chef or caterer, look no further than Five Star To You.

Unfortunately, Ana is one of the worst people I've ever worked with professionally. She has a…read moreterrible attitude and will lash out at you whenever things don't go perfectly her way. Working with Ana is like walking on egg shells. You never know what's going to set her off. If you send her a text and she interprets it the wrong way, she likely to immediately quit on you. This is what happened to me. Ana is a very selfish person that expects everything to go her way and on her terms. If she even perceives that things aren't going her way, she can't handle it and will overreact and make irrational decisions. The main reason Ana quit without any notice for me after using her for over two years is because I paid her $275 for not working one week for me and she didn't like me doing that. It is the craziest reason I've ever heard for quitting. I was always very nice to hear, but it is never enough with Ana. You can compliment her every week for her services, and she still isn't happy. This is because she never feels adequate enough inside. Ana has personal and mental health issues that also affect her work and get in the way of her communication and how she handles situations. It's pretty much impossible to please Ana, as she always finds a way to turn things against you, including good deeds. I wish I would have stopped using Ana sooner so I didn't have to deal with all her drama and have her quit on me without any warning. She has tried doing this to me before, but I tried appeasing her against my better judgment. In hindsight, I should have stopped working with her when she blew up on me over how she interpreted a text message in the past and threatened to quit on me. Ana is a good cook, but her personal and mental health issues, as well as her short-temper and selfish tendencies are not worth the hassle. I highly recommend never taking a chance with Ana. There are much better cooks and people to deal with than Ana.

The food was absolutely incredible--our guests are still talking about it! Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and felt so thoughtful and elevated.

Hosting a wedding at home can be stressful, but they made everything feel easy and taken care of so we could actually enjoy the moment. We would 100% recommend Chef Pukar for any type of event and are already looking forward to having him cook for us again in the future!

It says Chef Randy was a good chef. We had a contract with him to come to our house for breakfast…read moreevery day some lunches, some dinners and some days he was off and he agreed to this and we paid him well I think I paid him close to $3000 for a week, he missed one day totally missed the breakfast. He had car trouble. He was having some issues with his girlfriend. He had said that he wanted to move with us to where we actually live and reside because again I was only there for a week, but by the end of it, he said that he had literally been on no sleep for five days so I feel like Chef Randy should've like thought about his situation before you know he signed the contract because you know when he did come it just seems sometimes it was him. He was exhausted. He had to take the Uber there. He lived an hour so he was Uber an hour there an hour back and I just feel really really bad about those things so let's put that apart now let's pin that OKthe food, the bogies good good he did get the ricotta for me but the first night when I was looking for the creamer and coffee that we had asked him we sent him a picture because remember he was our chef so he was doing all the grocery shopping for the week. He literally did not get the creamer. He literally did not get the coffee. He got the coffee pops for the Keurig, which I don't use because I don't wanna deal with the plastic and the chemicals. I rather just percolate it so there were some things that were off, but his food was delicious. I have to give him that so while I could've gave him five stars, I did wind up giving him four because I feel like his food was very good. I just feel like the professionalism could've been handled in a whole different aspect, but I would recommend Chef Randy I would ask him before you get into contract, if his car and everything is resolved so that way you know he doesn't seem frazzle because when he seems frazzled, it's a little crazy but when he's doing the job, he does a great job
