No doubt. The first we all sat at the table watching him make his magic in the kitchen. Come on people there is nothing like a man cooking for you. Right Ladies!!!! We had Elf Chef Nolan come into our home and cook for the second time. The first visit was a sample meal and now we had a full service visit. He made 3 main dishes and 3 sides for us. Elf Chef Nolan was on time! He came with all the groceries cooked everything and even cleaned up before he left. I have to say it is such a treat for a man to come and cook for me personally because usually I'm the only one that cooks in our home. Everything he made was season perfectly. We ordered 3 family sized meals and sides: Pesto chicken breasts with mushroom alfredo noodles (side) Chicken tikka masala paired with the side of mediterranean style couscous is amazing. The dish was very well made and season perfectly. I would so order this again. Blueberry pancake muffins fresh made from the oven yumm. Baked salmon and roasted zucchini All of the main dishes and sides Were placed into my own containers. They usually pack them in disposable containers and have everything ready individual servings. We eat more family style and I prefer not to have more disposable containers going into the landfill. Dinner elf can meet your dietary needs. Take advantage in writing your notes on your order. Dinner elf will be a monthly treat for us. Thank you Dinner Elf and Thank you to Chef Nolan.

My kid had chicken tenders (which were suppose to come with fries but came with Mac and cheese) and his dad has the threesome which is the wings, catfish and Hennessy shrimp. I personally was not a big fan of the dirty rice, it was very salty for my taste, and the mac and cheese had a very strong flavor which we were debating it being bad or just a different type of strong cheese being used.. it was still ok for me, but questionable for the rest of my party. We will definitely be back though! Them wings got me hooked!

It was our first time hiring a chef for dinner and Catherine was able to walk us through the process. The process of planning and deciding on the menu was seamless thorough. The dinner was phenomenal. My husband is lactose intolerant and she was able to not only make a beautiful dinner that met our needs but also an out-of-this-world, dairy-free cake that was picture perfect and tasted wonserfully. Because they do all the shopping and cleanup and serving, we were able to enjoy dinner without any hassle. We couldn't have asked for a better end to our special day. I can't stress enough how much I recommend working Lavish Cuisine for any of your needs.

The process was super simple. I found her on yelp. She hit me back probably w/in 15-20 minutes. I wanted a nice meal made for my wedding anniversary. Year 11 married for Hubby and I. I knew I wanted steak and potatoes. She came up w/the chimmichurri (which I knew I loved), zuppa tuscana and infused strawberry shortcake. She and her assistant/sous chef came over a little bit early (I was a little late ) and she was just awesome! Very warm, personable and knows what she's doing. They were ein my kitchen working their magic and the smell of mouth watering food filled the house. The soup was done first. Hubby basically melted into the chair after his first bite. Seriously! It was flavorful and light abs presented in a very simple but comfort food way. 10 out of 10! A bit later the steak, loaded potato abs brussel sprouts came out. BOOM!! Looked good as f*ck and tasted out of this world! The steak was seasoned well w/out being salty or over done. There was a slight non spicy zing from the chimichurri. Also need to note the chimmichurri tasted so fresh, and flavorful I wanted to eat just the chimnichurri w/a spoon or slather it on EVERYTHING!! I definitely ate at least have of my brussel sprouts w/this magical, fresh, herby sauce.... because it was that damn good! Eating this had me thinking up schemes... ahem plans to get Layha to stay and cook more... or everything . I can and end very much enjoy cooking... but now I feel like I can't go back to my own cooking (woman womp). Oh well. I already booked Chef Layha for New Year, my birthday and Mother's day before the meal was completed. She also made these cute and small bourbon infused strawberry shortcakes. Real strawberries. Simple delicious, and juicy flavor. NOT SOGGY at all. Not overly sweet. Flippin awesome ! She also made some rotelle nachos for my kiddos when they get out of school later. I'll be tasting that very soon. Probably right after I hit the post button . Either way Chef Layha has some real talent. She made my day as well as my husband's. Her food was impeccable. She cleaned up my kitchen after the meal and there's plenty extra food. We're going to enjoy this food the rest of this weekend. For real!! I'm so looking forward to our next meal(s) from her. I hope others catch on to her talent... but a tiny selfish side of me is hoping I get to keep her to myself. Sorry not sorry

She even made charcuterie cups and fruits cups for appetizers. Everything was fresh delicious, and nothing went to waste everybody was highy impressed by the taste and quality for the budget.
