Finally, she was a super nice person to work with, everyone loved her, a great addition to our special occasion. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great things are big reasons to celebrate! Birthdays, a 200th review and becoming an Elite All…read moreStar!! So, in honor of all these accomplishments, I'm dedicating my 200th review to Chef Lance, who helped make my birthday on Jan 27th perfect, very special and exactly what I had hoped for on many levels! From my first conversation with Chef Lance, I knew I found a wonderful Chef, and person! He replied to my initial contact within an hour of messenging him. Through our many emails and texts, together we created a menu that well exceeded 5 stars!! My birthday dinner was prepared in my home for my family, 6 people total! Dinner was called for at 7:30 and Chef Lance arrived at my home around 4:00 to set up and begin preparations. He was so cordial, knowledgeable and his stories of becoming a chef and all his experiences through the years fascinated me! Now for the good stuff, my menu.... Coconut Shrimp appetizer, Penne alla Vodka, Salad, Chicken Francaise and Honey Glazed Carrots. The entire night felt like we were eating in a very cozy restaurant! Chef Lance plated every dish and we enjoyed it all tremendously! Everything was just delicious! I have to point out certain things that stood out to me: the chicken was purchased from a butcher, jumbo shrimp were used and so incredibly fresh and succulent! The coconut was toasted beforehand and the homemade dipping sauce was nothing like anything I have ever had before. It was fruit based with an Asian twist, just fantastic! Because Penne alla Vodka is a favorite in my family, an extra batch was made so everyone could take some home to enjoy again! After dinner, my kitchen was completely cleaned and all dishes, pots, etc were washed. My daughters BF bought a cheescake for dessert so at that point it was time for Chef Lance to leave. From start to finish, he was in my home for almost 5 hours! I can't rave enough what an experience having a chef prepare an intimate dinner was like! If you are looking for someone who will exceed every expectation you may have, Chef Lance is who you should contact. There's no doubt I will be seeing him in my home again! Chef Lance, thank you for a birthday dinner experience I will never forget!!

My 1st time ordering lunch for delivery. My order was soup, savory crepe, and sweet crepe…read more The soup - Matzo ball was creamier than I am used to. My Mom was an excellent maker of matzo ball soup. Even though it was not my preference - my husband loved it. My lunch crepe the NYC - chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers and balsamic glaze - Amazing! The flavors complimented each other really well. My sweet crepe I would have preferred if Nutella was used instead of chocolate syrup. But this does not deter me from trying a different sweet crepe next time. Now I know you maybe thinking four stars for only liking two of three items? Their menu has many offerings and Im sure I will find other items I like just as much as my NYC crepe. The two menu items I did not like were just preference.
