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.

I hired Chef Thomas to do our anniversary dinner and it was absolutely amazing!…read more I have celiac (gluten free) and a dairy allergy and he worked with me to set a menu that was safe for both. He even surprised me with a safe Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer that was amazing. And I didn't have any reactions to the overall meal which anyone with food allergies knows is a big deal! The food was amazing, the service was exceptional, and just overall it was an incredible dining experience. On top of all that he is good people! Thank you Chef! Seriously the food was crazy good!! Cant wait to hire him again

I read his excellent reviews on another platform (Thumbtack) and when I called him he patiently worked with me to create a Mediterranean menu that worked with my budget. I was so nervous to hire a caterer without having sampled his food, but let me tell you - Chef Thomas is a TALENTED chef. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared. I received many compliments from my guests and I will not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone who asks me. I look forward to working with Chef Thomas again on future events! If you choose to hire him, just know that you can check "catering" off your list and not worry. You will be in great hands!

I customized a 5-course meal for the evening: caesar salad w/homemade dressing, spinach & crab dip, mussels with a white wine sauce, lobster & herb butter crusted filet mignon with red-skinned mashed potatoes, and grand marnier bread pudding. This food wasn't just good - it was GOODTTTT!!! That bread pudding melted in your mouth!!! Flavors popped, plating was perfection, and Chef's attention to detail really shined. After warming up to one another, we all really started vibin' (over a glass of Malbec) and began discussing our backgrounds, music, life, health, etc. All the while, Chef kept the courses in motion and didn't miss a beat. She left the kitchen spotless and neatly packed away the leftovers for us. All around, AMAZING experience. I highly recommend Chef Gigi for your next event!!

I cannot say enough great things about Chef Jamie and Meal Mate DC! We're in California and had…read moresecured a beautiful Airbnb in DC for the weekend of our daughter's college graduation. We decided that, rather than try to find a restaurant for all the extended family in for the graduation, we would host a private dinner at the Airbnb prepared by a professional chef. We interviewed a number of chefs and Meal Mate was by far the best. Most creative ideas, most responsive, and best enthusiasm for the project! We signed with them months ahead of the date, and as it drew closer, I started getting reminders from Chef Jamie. Some questions, more ideas. On event day, Chef Jamie and Chef Nathan showed up exactly on time and started getting to work. First, the table was set beautifully with linen napkins and personalized menus/place cards. As guests arrived, we were all treated with a specialty cocktail and delightful appetizers. And then dinner. Wow!! Maybe the best ribeye steak ever. Wonderfully seasoned and incredibly tender. The sides were all great but that steak - oh, my lord. Dessert was a matcha tiramisu and it was the perfect finish! Throughout the night, the service was so smooth and then, before we knew it, the kitchen was cleaner than when they arrived and they were off. Like I said, I can't say enough great things about Meal Mate. Book them for your next event!!

If not for Chef Giovanni's nice personality, he would receive 1 star only. Personality is not first…read moreon my list when it comes to shelling out hundreds of dollars for a special occasion. What kind of professional chef scopes out your refrigerator to see if you have any orange juice on hand to serve you--orange juice you've already paid HIM to purchase? Let me back up. I hired Chef Giovanni to prepare a birthday brunch for 3 people. Chef Giovanni quoted a price of $75-$100 per head for brunch--depending on menu selections. However, after I selected my items, the price suddenly catapulted to $500! For that price, you'd think the menu selections would include caviar, or truffles, or something other than the chicken w/couscous, crepes, omelets, potatoes, salad, apple tart, banana flambe, orange juice, and coffee we agreed on. When I responded that $500 was entirely over budget for three people, he lowered it to $330--the highest I could go. Should've heeded the red flag when he called the morning of the brunch to ask the time of the brunch. Later, he was professional enough to text to say he'd be late. I didn't see it, but my sister noticed that while preparing our meal, Chef Giovanni used spices from our cabinet and was about to pour our own orange juice into our glasses and serve it to us! However, there wasn't enough juice to go around so he put it back in the fridge. On top of that, we were served buckwheat crepes (instead of regular) and several of the menu items were omitted. Even coffee! With the exception of the delicious banana flambe, the food was overloaded with ginger (not a fan of ginger) and otherwise quite plain and uninspiring. I'd prefer less than average diner food. Chef Giovanni was unwilling to compensate by way of a free dessert or even a single dollar returned. A nice personality does not make up for bad character. Thank goodness another chef (Chef PK of PK's kitchen) saved the weekend celebration with a tasty, well-presented dinner only two days later.

BUYER BEWARE: they often run out of certain protein. And if you order via ubereats, they will simply swap whatever available protein they have for whatever is lacking. When this very thing happened the 2nd time, I called and the man on the phone told me to come in later that week when they would have said protein available. I called several times that week and they never answered their phone (seemed as if they had gone out of business) I paid over $60 for my meal and by the time i was finally able to get someone on the phone, they were both rude. The woman hung up on me, and could be heard screaming obsceneties while i tried to talk to the man, who was also rude and hung up on me. THEY OFTEN RUN OUT OF PROTEIN-- AND SHOULD BE AWARE THAT NO ONE WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO WRITE A LENGTHY REVIEW IF THEY DIDNT FEEL WRONGED. THE WOMAN IS ATROCIOUS AND DESERVES HER BUSINESS TO FAIL AT THIS POINT.
