Chef Ronnie came to our house with his assistant Lisa (I think - sorry!) and they were both just awesome. Ronnie is super down-to-earth and totally friendly.

Also, and maybe this should have come first, but his food was also absolutely amazing. He worked with my husband for almost two months coming up with a menu that I would love...and I did. Wow. The first course of a salad was amazing and it just got better from there to the pesto pasta, the shrimp dish, the steak and then two desserts! We were absolutely stuffed.

Chef Daniel recently gave me one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. For my birthday,…read morehe prepared a custom four-course meal for my husband and me in our home, and it was truly incredible. 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!

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.

Working with and learning from Chef Marie was a 5 star experience! Marie did an outstanding job of helping us celebrate my wife's birthday by teaching our family how to prepare a delicious French/Vietnamese meal, and the entire experience was fun and delightful. She offered many options for the menu and helped me select a spectacular assortment of flavors! From beginning to end, working with Marie was easy, professional and wonderful. She was punctual, communicative, budget friendly, and provided great ideas for our menu and is an excellent teacher. We learned to cook shrimp spring rolls, gyoza, her magic delicious sauce, Seabass, mushroom risotto, and Creme Brule. Each item was fun to prepare and turned out perfectly! Marie was a pleasure to be with, our kids loved the experience, and she cleaned up everything to perfection. We strongly recommend Aimer by Marie and cannot wait to have her out again to teach us French pastries, and more!

From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and far exceeded my expectations--especially as this was my first time hiring a private chef. Chef Marie was incredibly responsive and easy to work with during the booking process, which immediately put me at ease. On the day of the event, she arrived right on time and brought such a warm, kind, and professional presence into the home. The food itself was outstanding--beautifully prepared, thoughtfully executed, and absolutely delicious. You could truly taste the quality and care in every dish. What impressed me even more was how much she handled behind the scenes. She prepared much of the meal in advance, served everything effortlessly, and left the kitchen spotless. It allowed me to fully relax and enjoy the time with my family, which is truly priceless. This was a 5-star experience in every sense, and I would not hesitate to book Chef Marie again for future gatherings. If you're considering a private chef for any occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend her--you will not be disappointed.

She arrived promptly the evening of our event and was readily prepared. She and her assistant were very friendly and efficient while navigating through a property even we weren't familiar with (the rental home). I was impressed with her bubbly and positive attitude. It was quite cold that evening -- in the low 40s -- but she put on an incredible show for us. Highly entertaining with her sense of humor, ability to get our guests involved, and her impressive skills at the Teppanyaki grill. And the food tasted great! Chef Jazzii and her assistant also cleaned up and were very considerate of the property. We'd hire her again!

Our entire experience with LLK goes down as one of our favorites throughout the wedding planning…read moreprocess. Hospitality is not for the weak, and it is oftentimes a difficult endeavor, but LLK went above and beyond, from conception to execution. Given that they are the catering company for our wedding venue (Castle Green), we were initially apprehensive given wedding food's reputation, but thankfully our concerns were quickly put to rest once we started working with Kevin and Kari (the dynamic duo!) on developing our custom menu. They are so skilled and creative in working with an array of flavors and cultures. The entire team-Kevin, Kari, Brooke, and staff- was passionate about making our day special and committed to collaborating on a custom menu that we adored and felt good about sharing with our loved ones. We couldn't have asked for a kinder, more open-hearted group to work with. Our friends and family (some of them are notoriously picky eaters) were so impressed by the food--"wedding food" doesn't always have the best connotation, but the food served at our reception absolutely knocked it out of the park. Everything is customizable to your heart's content and they do an incredible job at guiding you through it all. Choosing linens, glassware, etc. was also a breeze. Commitment to getting it right and honoring our vision and my Chinese heritage. It was a small detail that was deeply meaningful and completely unexpected. From sourcing a specific brand of ingredient down to using Calrose rice as a nod to my husband's family roots in rice farming, LLK's menu was a fun nod to our respective family backgrounds. We had mentioned enjoying orange chicken but beyond incorporating a bit of Americanized Chinese food, I didn't anticipate that any other cultural food would work. LLK took it to the next step and proposed a tasty soy marinated/five spiced deviled egg with pork sung on top (a crowd pleaser and my favorite appetizer from cocktail hour; also a childhood staple for me growing up). The charcuterie table was phenomenal and all plating was elegant, fitting to the occasion. Our tasting with Kevin was an event all on its own! We had such a fun evening of genuine conversation and enjoying Following the tasting, LLK's team checked in with us regarding our tasting notes. We were impressed by how well Kevin and the team were able to recalibrate the final flavors accordingly to deliver exactly what our taste buds hoped for based on our initial tasting notes. Communication with them was always easy despite their busy schedules. We can't recommend them enough and hope to visit them at their restaurant pop ups!!

It took me a long time to decide if I wanted to leave a 1 star review because my policy is, if you…read moredon't have anything nice to say, don't say it and chance hurting someone's business, however after mulling this over for 8 weeks, I've decided that people should be aware. We had a premiere party at Castle Green in December where your only choice for catering by contract with the building is Little Lily's Kitchen. Kari and Booke were very nice, but their prices were insane for what we needed. In any case, we moved forward with an 8K invoice for a "finger-food" order for 250. When we found only 70 had RSVPd, we obviously had to honor our non-refundable contract for the 8K, which we did in good faith and ahead of schedule. But since we were at 1/3 capacity, I asked for an additional choice of finger food, which they did. The problem came in the fact that we paid for 6 servers and received 3. The food didn't begin circulating (by a very sweet wait staff) until 45 minutes after guests arrived and then it was very intermittent with many never receiving food. For 8K I expected non-stop food for our 70 guests, instead what I got (and didn't find out till later) was a lot of hungry people. On top of that, we had 16 guests report stomach issues the next morning - the commonality being goat cheese. When I addressed this to Brooke and Kari, I was not looking for a refund - after all, maybe it was a stomach virus that circulated within 24 hours, but I was dismayed by the fact that they didn't respond at all- zero, zip, nothing, not even a thank you for our business. It was the BIGGEST ripoff I've ever experienced with a caterer. For anyone having an event at Castle Green that doesn't involve a very large payout for the owners, buyer beware.
