For my 40th birthday, I wanted to make the day was special by hiring a private chef. This was a…read morelast minute idea (the day before) so I was delighted when CHEF TOVA put out a proposal through TAH. We corresponded back and forth and ironed out the details of the menu. It would be a mediterranean 4 course meal for 4 people at 7pm. The following day (the actual day of my birthday) I barely heard from TOVA and sent her a few messages confirming that all was still in order. At around 6pm, my guests arrived, balloons and decor are up, kitchen is spotless awaiting TOVA's arrival. At 6pm I messaged her again hoping she was on her way and wanting to make sure she'd confirmed the proposal. She apologized for not confirming and I told her it was fine and just to let us know if she was on her way. She then responded with "I'm not able to come. Im so sorry". AT 7:15PM. In tears, I apologized profusely to my guests and had to figure out an emergency plan B to salvage this milestone occasion and also get food on the table. In the end we ordered pizzas and made the best of a really crappy situation. In summary, I 100% DO NOT, WOULD NOT EVER, EVER, RECOMMEND CHEF TOVA. Maybe this was just a fluke and TAH does offer a great experience but I'll never know because I wont be using this service again.

This review is for Chef Jess' meal delivery service…read more I have only gotten two deliveries so far, but already I'm a big fan. It's definitely pricey - 5 meals will run you about $20 apiece, but they are high quality, healthy, filling meals and they are delivered to your door fully assembled and cooked. The recipes are interesting and well done. The portions are good, the size of a standard Chinese food plastic container stuffed full, and since the meals are chock full of protein, fiber, and whole grains they keep you full despite only having around 400-600 calories apiece, which is actually a great thing if you're trying to stay healthy. Everything is flavorful and appropriately spiced. My first meal, the beef and broccoli, I was worried when I opened it up because it had a ton of shredded carrots in it. I'll eat carrots but they aren't my favorite, but whatever Chef Jess did to those carrots made them the second best carrots I've ever had in my life. (Sorry Jess, try as you might I don't think anyone will ever beat the roast carrots at Maydan!) I wolfed the whole container down before I could even get a picture but I managed to get shots of my next two meals, Thai chicken soup and Pineapple BBQ chicken, which I can't wait to try! Definitely give this a shot if you are trying to be healthy or save time in the kitchen.

I altered almost every meal before I ate it and I threw away a few because they were just so bland and did not look appetizing. Now for my real concern with this company, I was given a gift card by some friends to use for meals after my mom died. Nice gesture. The problem was, 1) the gift card has an expiration date?? 2) you cannot just use the gift card one and done, you HAVE TO subscribe to the service for bi weekly or weekly meals - not what I'm looking for. After one meal delivery that was quite underwhelming, I attempt to cancel the "subscription" (the online interface is not very user friendly) and they deliver the meals anyways, I get them to take it back and they do so, but the charge remains on my card. In 2 weeks, they try to deliver AGAIN. I ask them to please take back the delivery as I have several times online and via email and text asked them to cancel this subscription. This second charge is removed, but the first one is still on my card 2 months later. I've sent many many emails following up on my concern and requesting a refund to no avail. The $200 charge remains on my card for meals that they took back immediately upon delivery. I would not recommend these meals or this service to a friend.

They're extremely handy to have for work lunches (when we don't have leftovers) or fast dinners when we're running behind on time. Everything we've eaten in the meal kits has been delicious. I was a little concerned about how well meals would reheat, but it's been negligible issue. Customer service is fast and easy for the pre-ordering and arranging delivery. We highly recommend HoneyFlower.

Meals of Dopeness lives up to its name! This is the first and only meal prep service I have ever…read moretried that makes healthy AND delicious food. It's almost always one or the other, but not when Chef Dopeness is cookin'. I recommend the Fuego Tango chicken, it's one of the OG menu items and there's a reason it's stayed on it this whole time. Plus, when you order a Meal of Dopeness, you aren't just eating delicious and healthy food; you are supporting one of the coolest, dopest, kindest, most hustling entrepreneurs in the DC area. Christina is so wonderful and she bakes her TLC for you and for the community into all of her dishes. I cannot recommend MoD enough.

I felt like I was at a black tie event at the White House the service was that good, I'm not even exaggerating. I wish I could post pics of the food, but I forgot. The brunch consisted of made to order omelettes, French toast that was out of this world, fresh bacon and sausage, these amazing has browns that were absolutely divine and the presentation was killer! They also served GUACAMOLE DEVILED EGGS that were just pure absolutely delicious! There was an amazing watermelon salad, shrimp salad, and a few other amazing dishes! Just when I didn't think things could get any better, out came trays of some of the most tender and well marinated steaks you could imagine. I'm a garlic lover, and they were drenched in delicious garlic and herbs! That's about all I got for the review. Please believe me when I tell you that I've traveled the world in the gourmet food business and I know when something is very special such as Pure Kitchen (PK). I didn't want to post this review, because I kind of wanted to keep the secret about how amazing they are!!! The staff was 5 stars. The food was 5 stars. The service was 5 stars.

I was looking for a caterer for my organization's Board of Directors meeting. I used Thumbtack to…read moreget some quotes and came across Chef Serge. He was the first one to reply to the RFP. He was very easy to work with--he shared his thoughts for a menu: Appetizers -Red wine poached pear blue cheese salad -caprese basil salad Entrees -chicken Milanese -red onion jam salmon Sides - french ratatouille - grilled sweet potatoes and cranberries Dessert -assorted of cookies, cupcakes and fruits Everything sounded so yummy but I wanted one of the salads to be vegan. Chef Serge told me that he can swap the caprese salad with green beans cherry tomato and grapefruit salad (I wanted the red wine poached pear blue cheese salad!). I approved that change however, there was some confusion. I later asked if rice comes with the entree and he said that it's extra and asked if I wanted it, I said to keep the menu as is without rice but he thought that I meant to keep his original menu. When he came with the food, it was too late to get the vegan salad. I should have ask for a confirmed menu. Chef Serge and his assistant came on time to setup and offered to stay for the entire lunch but we just want buffet style and members serve themselves. My favorites were the red wine poached pear blue cheese salad and the red onion jam salmon. It was the first time that I've ordered salmon from a caterer where they've kept the skin on. I love the skin on my salmon but caterers don't keep it on. The ratatouille was tasty but some people didn't know quite what to make of it. One of my colleagues said that it has some Caribbean spices--I mentioned it to Chef and he said that he's from Guadeloupe, go figure. The desserts were okay, some mistook it for Entenmann's. He told me that he works with local bakery for desserts. Personally, I don't care too much about the desserts, my main focus is the food. I recommend Chef Serge but I think he's best for private parties. I've referred him to someone who was looking for a caterer for a holiday party. He was very flexible, positive and reliable. If you go with Chef Serge, you won't be disappointed.
