Since COVID, I imagine many people have gone without celebrations, family gatherings and a variety of social engagements, we were shut down by an invisible terrorist, telling us to mask up, glove up and its need to "flatten the curve". We have been forced to think outside of our routine boxes; however, as human beings, we require the social aspects of our lives, it helps us to manifest feelings of love and being a part of a community. I say this because my daughter was turning 35 and watched her work so hard, her company closed down, she was was pregnant, struggled in silence, had her baby in a hospital where we couldn't be there with her and do her best for her children every single day, despite the significant life changes. Anyways, I dont mean to go on and on, long story short, we wanted to give her something special this year, as she embarked on 35, quite a milestone age.
In comes Chef Ed Kuoha, I found him here on Yelp. The idea of bringing a fine dining experience to my home, im sure im not the first to think of it, what a great idea. I reached out and he returned my message, very clear and available. He asked about our dietary restrictions and immediately came up with a solid menu plan. Unfortunately, he ended up not being able to do the party for unforeseen circumstances and notified me 2 days before the dinner. I was a bit nervous, not gonna lie. Everything was scheduled and set up, I know it was a family dinner at my home and Chef Ed was super generous to reschedule, but it would be too much of a hassle. I started to search for another replacement, I was not very hopeful since we are now down to one day before the party and still no replacement. Chef Ed texted me and said he found another Chef!! He worked so hard to accommodate, despite the crisis he faced himself. He put my situation my ahead of his own and I cannot possibly express adequate appreciation for this.
Now the food, we were literally paralyzed with satisfaction. The menu offered was not only exquisite flavors, but paired with excellence to accommodate our very different dietary needs. I will leave a brief description of the food items with their pictures.
Lastly, we also want to thank Chef Ed for sending Jacob to service our dinner. He was the icing on the cake, such a humble and respectful young man, who truly enhanced our dining experience. He was efficient and he left my home cleaner than it was before he arrived. Thank you for Chef Ed for creating a memory that will place a shining bright star on our dim memory of these difficult times. I strongly recommend you to everyone I know and will be coming back to you for future events. Your business will definitely thrive with impeccable service that you provide!! read more
