All of the food was amazing and delicious!!

After being turned down by other caterer's around town, I was referred to Dinners by David Catering and it turned out to be a blessing! I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is interested in catering an event. The food was amazing and delicious (my guests kept raving about the food) and the staff was even better. Tannaz was great to work with and she kept expressing to me that she was there at the event so I did not have to do anything - and she was right! The staff was so accommodating and took care of our every need. I explained the type and style of food that I wanted and Tannaz nailed it and exceeded my expectations. I can't wait for my next event so that we can work together again. Thank you for making my party an event of a lifetime and I can't stop thinking about it!

We hired David to cater for my in-laws 50th a couple years ago, which was fabulous!! In planning for our Christmas party this year I just knew we had to use David and his team again...and like I thought, it was perfect!! The planning process was a breeze and the night of was amazing and flawless. The staff is very professional and highly experienced. Looking forward to our next party!!

See all

We only had a few days to prepared for a group of 30+ but he made the experience very easy on my end. We worked together to come up with a menu suitable for buffet style dining. He was communicative and helped take the stress off me planning for a big group with such short notice! As you can see I was so busy day of worrying about our party that I didn't even get photos except 1 starter but it was delicious!

Jason created a fabulous and delightful event, all of our guests raved about the experience. All the planning was done from my home on the east coast--Jason couldn't have made it any easier, with his responsive communication and great menu ideas. He created a fantastic menu, which was only surpassed by the beautiful presentation and delicious food. Everything was amazing--especially The Mexican White Shrimp "Gambas Al Ajillo" and the Maple Pecan Bread Pudding, both were off the charts. Portions were generous and leftovers were meticulously stored to enjoy later! Clean-up was impeccable. I couldn't recommend Flavor Affinity any more enthusiastically, Thanks Jason!

There are no shortage of great things to say about Chef Josh. We've used him twice now for…read moredifferent celebrations and he has knocked it out of the park each time. In fact, after his latest visit we all agreed we needed to start bringing him in quarterly. Chef's cooking style is best described as transformative. He takes ingredients you'd never dream of being the star of the dish and makes it the most delicious thing you've ever tasted. Our last dinner we reqested to be completely vegetarian and he did not disappoint. Even the non-vegetarian at the dinner was blown away and left being the perfect amount of full. My husband avoids certain veggies in our day to day (texture) and the way Chef Josh cooks - well we've never left a plate bare, I can tell you that much. And when Chef Josh isn't looking.. we may have licked our plates clean. Pickling, crisping, pureeing, caramelizing - everything he puts in front of you "WOWs". Besides the food he serves, which is well worth the money, Josh's service is unparalleled. He is prompt, friendly and wonderful to chat with. He brings everything in and does all clean up as if he was never even there. Whether it's a date night, an intimate gathering or a group to impress - I would recommend hiring Chef Josh 110%. If you're even considering a private chef, look no further because there truly is no better!

Josh made the entire process seamless and handled all of the details. He arrived on time and left our house cleaner than before he arrived. We had 3 amazing appetizers, a wonderful white fish dish, phenomenal beet salad and over the top steak and gnocchi main course. Josh topped off the evening with a pear fruit and cake desert. Josh was very personable and was very interactive throughout the entire evening. Thank you very much for making my wife's birthday a memorable evening. I highly recommend Josh is you are looking a personal chef.
