We love Chef B's weekly meals. Food is so delicious and just perfect for my family as we are all…read moresuper busy and don't have time to cook. The food is farm to table and always arrive in neatly packaged containers every Sunday evening so we have dinners stocked to enjoy the following week. I have had meal services with others before and this is by far the most skilled cooking of farm to table meals. I think it's a good value. One recent review I read was really not fair about "scam". That's just not true but I understand the frustration that led to a misunderstanding. I know the owner/chef was busy and working to try improve their marketing, ordering app, and communications. It's a small business so you just have to contact her directly if there is an issue and she will take care of it. I did that every time and I was patient because I want this good cooking to last to feed my family. Seems like great people. I've spoken to her and met the staff who deliver food to my house. We look forward to ordering each week!

This business owner is a scammer! Don't be deceived by the older reviews left for the past owner of…read morethis business. The new owner is a scam artist! I made a mistake of signing up for 4 weeks of meal delivery, and now I am out of hundreds of dollars. The first delivery was 2 days late and required multiple attempts to contact the merchant to get the ordered meals. Week 2 meals were delivered but be aware, if you happen to be in the shower when they show up with your delivery, they won't leave your meals on your secure porch and will just drive away with your order. Week 3- NO DELIVERY, NO CALL, NO EMAIL. Again, I had too contact the merchant to try to figure out where was my food. Days later got a response that they had an issue with their refrigerator and simply neglected to let me know!!! With over a thousand dollars already tied up with this merchant, I had to scramble to purchase food for my family elsewhere. Due to the "NO CALL NO SHOW" for the week 3 delivery, I politely asked the chef to immediately refund me for the remaining 2 weeks worth of food that wasn't delivered. I explained that because they failed to honor their contract, I had to make other arrangements for the meals. The merchant NEVER REFUNDED me for the remaining 2 WEEKS worth of food that they NEVER DELIVEREDA. I ended up having to contact my credit card company, and guess what? The merchant is lying to my credit card company, claiming they delivered all 4 weeks worth of meals! I am reaching out to the Office of the Attorney General and filing a fraud complaint next. Stay as far away from this thief as you can!

This review is coming far too long after the amazing experience that Jamie-Claire created for my…read morepartner and I. For our anniversary, we wanted to learn everything possible about how to make Chinese hand pulled noodles. MealmateDC did not disappoint. Every piece of the experience was crafted to fit our needs, from a hands on lesson to historical analysis to a wonderful meal itself! Furthermore, we couldn't have been more comfortable than with Jamie-Claire. The kind, sociable, and caring demeanor brought to this special event, from inquiry to end, was irreplaceable. Please please PLEASE hire these professionals for any culinary dreams you have, and they are sure to bring them to life.

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!!

Chef Shelley is the best! Last week was my family's second experience with her and it was as good,…read moreif not better than the first time. We decided to throw mom a dinner party at home and we knew Shelley would be perfect. Mom's a vegetarian so we planned out an adventurous and delicious 6-course tasting menu without any animals being harmed haha. Chef started us off with an amuse bouche of collard harissa spring rolls -- absolutely spectacular! That was followed by a healthy and flavorful microgreens and heirloom tomatoes salad, a mind-blowing BBQ Jack Fruit pizza, a hearty and flavorful lentil tagine, "crab" cakes made with Jack Fruit (so creative and scrumptious!), a super rich medley of mushrooms over sweet potato grits, and a dessert of saffron(!) ice cream in a cardamom waffle cone. Our party was so impressed and nobody enjoyed it more than mom. Needless to say, we were all STUFFED! And for a bunch of meat eaters going all-vegetarian, it was an eye opener into how satisfying vegetarian food can be. Shelley did a masterful job of blending and experimenting with flavors and profiles from Africa to the Deep South, from Persia to Paris, and everywhere in between. We can't wait for our next special occasion with her!

So here's a brief review....The menu, arrangement and presentation were all tastefully done. The staff was attentive, professional and very polished. Some hot apps highlights included the delicious blue crab stuffed with hearts of palm and the spicy shrimp chorizo kebabs. There were several pasta and beef stations with my favorite being the Orecchiitte with shrimp, scallops and crabmeat. I sampled an endless array of decadent desserts (ok, more than sampled) and being a sweet freak, they were all extremely good. You could tell everything was fresh, home made and no corners were cut! Quite impressive.

She worked with us to understand our preferences, what dishes and ingredients we liked (and didn't like). We selected her 3 entrees and 3 appetizers package, and every single dish was healthy and delicious. We are vegan so they were all plant-based. As busy parents, having these meals taken care of was a huge time saver. And it was a great way to eat healthy yet flavorful foods when you don't have much time to cook yourself. Chef Bailey handled everything from cooking to cleanup to storing the dishes in Tupperware, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the food without any extra stress.
