    Finger food and appetizers from Petr the chef

    I hired Petr the Chef for my wife's 60th birthday for a dinner party for 12 guest. The service and the food was remark and amazing. Petr was very personable and interactive with our guest and his food was amazing. I would definitely rehire Petr. Thanks for making my wife's 60th birthday a memorable event. Mario Iannantuono

    Beef carpaccio with truffle oil, arugula, and parmesan. Amazing.

    I can't wait for the next time I have Petr over again to cook! I contacted Petr for a 4-course dinner for 4 people and it couldn't have gone better. Communication prior to the meal was great! He gives you a sample menu of his most popular dishes but can make adjustments or new dishes based on what you like. We wanted an entree with Asian flavors which wasn't on his menu but he suggested a short rib dish that was so amazing. I had some special requests as one of my guests only eats fish and he was able to make the same short rib dish that we were all having but with fish for that one guest. Petr gave an ETA prior to the day of the meal and arrived ahead of schedule. He came extremely prepared, you can even arrange waiter service, bartenders, table/dinnerware rentals, and decorations with him to make your event amazing. Do not hesitate to hire Petr for your next meal!!

    We hired Peter for an intimate Valentine's dinner we hosted for a few of our friends. The food was exquisite, with top-notch restaurant quality, and the service was equally remarkable. It is hard to pick a favorite dish from our menu, as every bite left a lasting impression. Peter was very professional and friendly, with a charming personality that added that extra oomph to the whole experience. Not to mention being very helpful in picking the right menu to satisfy all our guests. PETER AND HIS CREW ARE A TRUE GEM. We look forward to having Peter prepare another superb dining experience for us in the future.

    Main course: surf & turf

    My first encounter with Chef Petr's masterful cooking was simply extraordinary! A restaurant Chef by training, he now does personal chef work around SoCal. Last night he cooked the most amazing 5 course meal for my bestie's family -- all in the comfort of their home. He arrived by 2:30 to start prepping for a 6:30-7pm dinner. Everything was made fresh and from scratch. We started with a beautiful cheese and charcuterie plate. Course 1 was one of the best mushrooms risottos I've ever had. Course 2 was a lovely shrimp dish cooked to perfection. Course 3 was a delicious Gorgonzola, melon and avocado salad. Course 4 was a surf and turf with filet minion and lobster tail, again cooked to perfection. And the final course was a decadent molten chocolate cake. Not only was the meal magnificent, Chef Petr was very professional and friendly. He took care of all the details as well as the cleanup. He made it a seamless night for us all. He has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

    I found Chef Petr through Yelp and I could not rave about him enough. He responded very quickly to my inquiry and he was a delight to work with. He helped me finalize a menu for my cousins baby Sprinkle luncheon. He prepared a 4 course meal and it was as amazing as it looked. He purchased all organic products and premium meats. I was able to finalize the menu the week before and I was able to print menus. Chef Petr came to my home early, prepped all the food, and made my daughter a crepe from scratch before the party started. He was very professional and is an excellent personal chef. Do not think twice about hiring him! I look forward to working with him again soon.

    Sea bass with italian caponata

    Chef Peter was amazing! The food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend ordering the roasted pineapple with ice cream for dessert and the sea bass with Italian caponata for the main course. We were so impressed with everything he made and he was easy to work with and professional. I would definitely recommend using him for any event and will use him in the future.

    This review is long overdue!…read more Eric was a joy to work with. He was prompt with communication, and provided perfect recommendations for my private, birthday party dinner. His menu selections were top notch, and my husband and I were thrilled with the outcome. We did 3 appetizers before the 4 course meal began. We did the elote (street corn) appetizer, tuna tartare, and lamb chop. Of note, I don't eat lamb at all, but Eric's Lamb chop was AN AMAZING FLAVOR BOMB! I appreciated that him and his server showed up prepared with all of their supplies (and small plates for serving). For dinner, we had the heirloom tomato and burrata salad, followed by the char grilled octopus, then the Australian Wagyu steak with creme brûlée to finish. The menu was superb, Eric presented his gorgeous plates with detail and attention, and (of course) they cleaned up everything after! This was a PHENOMENAL experience, and we are already looking to book Eric again for my husband's birthday! Eric, you are an artist and amazing chef! Thank you for offering this wonderful experience and making my birthday memorable!

    After a major health setback and a sudden serious surgery in our little family, we came to find…read moreourselves in a predicament. The predicament involved having the joy sucked out of food due to a VERY restricted diet. What does 2 informal foodies do with a new lifestyle that consists of staying under 15 grams of saturated fat per day, under 1500 mg of salt per day (that's under 1 tsp), kicking out cholesterol-high foods like shrimp and red meat and other general un-fun new rules? We looked for help! We ate pretty healthy to begin with...but with so many new rules, we went looking for culinary expertise. I tried meal services but was amazed at how limited those are to diets like Keto that are the exact opposite of what the Cardiologist was telling us to do. Enter in Whole Health Everyday which I found right here on Yelp. Chef Rebecca Club, the owner, spent time with me on the phone and in a short period of time, was able to assess exactly what I needed. She matched us with Chef Robert, a culinary genius that literally brought sunlight back to our dreary diet. On Thursdays, Chef Robert would cook for us for the week, in our kitchen, wearing a mask because of our immunocompromised situation (check with Chef Rebecca if you have this issue b/c not all Chefs will do this) for the whole week. He would make family meals in my own large casserole tupperwares that we could then assemble for breakfast/lunch/dinner. I need a whole paragraph to describe Chef Robert's special dishes. He makes a tray of ground turkey and black bean enchiladas in a verde sauce that will make you cry! He makes egg white bites that are better anything I've ever had before and these are NOT made with heavy cream! I could literally go on and on but maybe I'll just leave you with some of my fave dishes... *Ginger chicken breast bahn mi with jalepenos, picked daikon and carrots *Tilapia tacos with cabbage, pico de gallo, and yogurt crema *Japanese chicken meat balls with sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts *Tuna Poke with mango and avocado served with cucumber slices and low fat/salt chips *Chili con turkey, kidney beans, peppers, avocado and cheese I can only imagine what Chef Robert could do if he could cook with as much salt and fat as he liked! The process for our weekly sessions looked like this: 1) Chef Robert would email us over the weekend with meal suggestions 2) We choose what we want, or ask for more suggestions until we finalize the meals for that week 3) He sends us a shopping list by Tuesday night 4) We order grocery pickup for the things on the list and have everything in our fridge by Thursday morning 5) Chef Robert comes Thursday morning, cooks like crazy (sometimes using the grill outside, our Vitamix etc) 6) Chef Robert shows us where everything is, what sauce goes with what, how to assemble a sushi handroll (yes he would make us sodium light sushi and taught us how to roll it) etc. 7) Chef Robert would clean the kitchen so it looked perfect before he left 8) I would receive an invoice from Whole Health Everyday for that session, it would hit my credit card and I would repeat the next week I really cannot recommend Whole Health Everyday enough. I'd give them 10 stars if I could!
