When I say Chef Jekyll set the bar for private dining, I mean he set the bar not just as a chef, which he certainly did, but also as a host, waiter, clean-up staff...everything. I hired Chef Jekyll as a surprise for my wife's birthday--he worked with me for weeks on the menu (my wife has lots of dietary restrictions) as well as the planning for the actual day. He also helped me keep it a surprise and when serving the actual meal--I mean this, he is the GOLD standard for how this should be done--he was both part of our meal and, at the same time, not. He was charming and present when in the room, but also made sure we felt we had plenty of privacy to enjoy each other's company and the meal (this was not a particularly easy task, given the meal was prepared and served in a 1.5 bedroom airbnb). Finally, he cleaned up everything and left the kitchen better than when he arrived. I would absolutely--no reservations whatsoever--hire him again. He also hosts experiences on his boat--would do that in a heartbeat next time we're in Destin. BOOK CHEF JEKYLL.

I sent over the chef exactly what he said which was two entrées and I also asked if they could provide I said if they couldn't buy dessert that was fine. He was completely rude and told me to go to a restaurant instead where I would be served better because I don't understand "the effort" it takes to provide meals for three people. Clearly, I understand which is why I was offering to pay for set service. I cannot believe that this man would talk down to someone so poorly Edit: responding to the owner.

Chef Franco and Nicki came to our vacation rental last night and cooked dinner for 15 of us. They made everything perfect. From menu selection to the day of the party, it was all easy and perfect. Chef Franco showed up on time and brought everything he could possibly need. We picked out a gulf shrimp appetizer, followed by crab cakes. When I tell you these were the best crab cakes I have ever eaten.... I am craving them right now !!! We also had sautéed crab claws, which were plentiful and delicious. At that point, we were all full, but went on to have a Caesar salad, which again was perfection. Throughout this whole eating frenzy, we delighted in watching chef cook every part of the meal. He is not only a phenomenal chef, but so knowledgeable about the area and other parts of Florida. It made for a great dinner conversation. The main course consisted of filet mignon, and a grilled lobster tail. Accompaniments included green beans, and a homemade Mac and cheese. Just watching him make the mac & cheese, the entire room was salivating. Every aspect of the meal was beyond delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection to everyone's personal liking. Finally, we barely had enough room for dessert, but managed to get it down. Dessert was a bourbon bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Again, this was exquisite. I am a bread, pudding, fan, and some may even say, an aficionado, and I can say this was among the best !!! Chef and Nina then proceeded to clean up the kitchen and package up all of our leftovers into the refrigerator. They left the kitchen cleaner then we found it when we got the house. Every aspect of this evening was fantastic !!!

We have never had the experience of a Personal Chef and for our 41st Valentines Day it was a past due experience. Luckily I made a great choice when I contacted Chef Shaun Michael. He sent several menu examples. I chose one, asked for and received approval for a couple of changes that would personalize the menu even more.for my wife. As advertised Chef arrived on time and brought everything needed, prepared the meal as we watched and carried on a great conversation. We were given detailed explanations of all the ingredients. Shaun shared his culinary education and past positions with us as well. The meal was fantastic, Shaun was as personable and interactive as could be and we had perhaps the best Valentines Day dinners, yet. I'd recommend Chef Shaun Michael to couples or families who are covid weary and want a great meal prepared by a fun (qualified)) Chef. I can't imagine you would be disappointed. We will do this again, for sure.
