If you are staying in a villa in St. Thomas, you absolutely must book Ultimate Chef Services. We…read morehad Chef LeAnna and her team member, "Chunky," provide on-site prepared meals as well as drop-off services during our stay, and it was a total gamechanger! LeAnna is incredibly professional and a phenomenal chef. Having her team come to the house allowed our group to relax and truly enjoy the property rather than dealing with the logistics of going out every night. We loved how they presented each course and took the time to explain the ingredients and preparation, which turned every breakfast & dinner into a true experience. They were also incredibly accommodating with our dietary restrictions; they perfectly substituted meals for our non-fish eater and another guest who didn't eat beef or chicken. The quality of the cooking was incredible, with every meal tasting like a high-end restaurant experience but with that comforting, home-cooked soul. Whether it was the full-service dining or the convenient drop-off meals, every detail was handled perfectly. They even left the kitchen spotless after they were done! If you want a stress-free, 5-star culinary experience from the comfort of your own home, Ultimate Chef Services is your go to- They are the absolute best!

I booked a private chef through Ultimate Chef Service's referral and had a disappointing and…read morestressful experience with their referral, Chef Chargois C. Things started off fine, but once I asked about adding a vegan breakfast just for me, the pricing shifted dramatically. I was quoted an extra $150 for basic items like chia pudding and a smoothie bowl and $100 just to add chicken as a second dinner option, not an entrée. She also required a 70% deposit upfront ($525) with no contract, and at one point even asked if we would be renting a car which felt irrelevant and odd. After I pushed back via email, she insisted on switching to a phone call where she even asked if she was being recorded. Soon after, just days before our scheduled dinner, she asked if I'd move the date to accommodate another client. Though framed as "just a question," it clearly reflected her priorities. That was the final red flag. I canceled everything. She refused to refund any part of the deposit. Chef Chargois claimed she had informed Ultimate Chef Services. I chose not to contact them directly because it wasnt going to change the outcome. I also suspected there would be personal bias with the chef. Still, I expected some kind of client check-in and received none. I understand UCS may say, "We only referred and have nothing to do with this" But referrals carry weight. When a business connects clients to a service provider under their name, they're endorsing that provider in some capacity. If a serious issue arises, the minimum expectation is a follow-up or acknowledgment--not silence.

We used Island Edge Culinary services twice while visiting St Thomas in July of '22…read moreSeveral platters we ordered upon arrival were spot on for our group of 8! We had 2 quesadilla platters and a platter of the flank steak sliders. Both selections were DEElicious! Quesadilla platters came with a couple of dipping sauces, admittedly I don't recall what they were (probably because of the 4 pitchers of rum punch we had delivered as well!) But they were equally excellent! Sliced flank steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the buns soft&fresh. Having their platter service upon arrival was an ideal choice after traveling 8 hours! Took the stress out of searching for a restaurant or going to the market after an exhausting day of travel! A couple days later we had the privilege of Chef Colin coming to our villa to prepare a 4 course dinner for us. Other than a couple suggestions from us, we pretty much left the menu selection up to him. And once again, spot on DEElicious! Ceviche, lobster bisque, and a local fresh fish entree! Finished off with a vanilla bean cheesecake with a tropical fruit glaze had us licking our plates! All served most graciously and attentively by the lovely Sarah. Such a sweetheart! Colin was most professional, yet had a very hip&cool vibe. They chatted with us throughout our whole meal, which we loved! Additionally Colin&Sarah gave us several island tips which we found MOST helpful! Thank you! Island Edge Culinary has an extensive menu of food&drink options and are extremely flexible, so there's something for everyone! We highly recommend their services and would not hesitate to call upon them next visit! Which is already in the works. I just hope they provide services to the Red Hook area! ps~ communication with them prior to our arrival was excellent! Our questions and concerns (which were many) were addressed promptly, often within the same day! So glad they're not on "island time"!!
