From the planning stages to the location to the execution of our private dinner date, everything…read morewas perfectly curated and SO WORTH IT! Ivan and Anne's energy was great over the phone, but was even better in person. Not only was the ambience really romantic with beautiful views, the food was perfectly cooked, seasoned well (a must for us!) & infused to each of our preferred level of chill. Anne and Ivan checked on us and adjusted as we progressed throughout the night. We felt SO welcomed & taken care of...even down to the way they packaged our leftovers and some extras! Most importantly, their love for each other and passion for what they do shines and they really made this night special for us! Side note: They do custom ordered meals (infused or non-infused), including cookies (which are bomb), too! 100000% recommend & worth it!!!

TL;DR - The Mangia Ghanja experience was amazing, and was just that -- a full-on experience. I've…read morebeen looking for something like this for a long while and this one takes the cake. It's rooted in respect and compassion for the healing benefits of cannabis, and a profound love for creating a unique and unforgettable culinary experience. It's absolutely both, and it's absolutely unforgettable. The details: It's important to note that this is a culinary experience just as much as a cannabis one, and perhaps even more so. Ivan and Anne do an incredible job as a team, and Ivan's dishes are outrageously good. There's also zero cannabis flavor in the dishes as he uses RSO (which also enables them to calculate the cannabis infusion to the mg). When my friend and I arrived to their beautiful home, there were stations with beverages and complimentary pre-dinner items. The home itself is stunning, with gorgeous views and a beautiful lounge area in the back with a fireplace and couches to hang out on (and smoke!) before dinner. It's truly hard to express how customized this experience and dinner is to whatever you want, and you will work with Ivan and Anne ahead of time over the phone/email/text to determine what courses you'd like, how much cannabis to infuse (it's totally up to you), as well as logistics. They even helped us arrange a ride from the city to their home and back with a private driver! I've attached pictures of the meal, and I could write a paragraph per course because they were all so special and so delicious. This was well worth the expense, and truly a fine dining experience. Lastly but not leastly, it's awesome to understand the story of how this came to be. After Ivan had a stroke and found miraculous progress using RSO, he and Anne turned to this to help other people too. It was so fascinating to hear the background and context from their perspective. They work as such a great team, and are such gracious hosts. If you're even slightly considering a cannabis infused culinary experience and you're in the area, you would be seriously missing out if you didn't at least consider Mangia Ghanja. I will be back every time our schedules and San Diego visits allow! 12/10 experience, thank you so much Anne and Ivan!

Happy Chef is a family-run Italian and Greek eatery tucked away in Rancho Bernardo and a fantastic…read moreplace to enjoy comforting food with family and friends. The 14" margherita pizza with two sunny-side-up eggs was excellent. The thin, chewy crust traces back to owner George's award-winning high school pizza recipe, and the fresh tomatoes, basil, and sauce made each bite bright and flavorful. The chicken and beef/lamb gyro plate came with a crisp salad, warm pita slices, and rice. The chicken was especially tender and juicy. To finish the meal, the chilled walnut and pistachio baklava was a standout with its sweet, nutty flavors. Portions were generous, pricing was reasonable, and the service was warm and welcoming. Special thanks to George for the gracious hospitality. There is plenty of free parking and a comfortable, covered outdoor patio for dining. Tip: After turning into the business center at the stoplight, the restaurant is located in the far back left corner of the complex. A great local spot for casual meals, family dinners, or anyone craving fresh Italian-Greek comfort food.

Having her there made my life so easy... took all the stress of being in the kitchen away so I could also enjoy the evening. Best decision I ever made! Everyone was impressed with her flavorful food, answering their questions, and I loved that she helped clean up the kitchen for me! It was THE BEST PARTY BECAUSE OF CHEF RACHEL!! We still talk about it all the time and all our employees remember it as one of the best experiences they've ever had. They felt so important to have a private chef cook a meal for them. As a business owner, for the holidays, we wanted our work family to feel valued and enjoy a special occasion. Having Chef Rachel made it exactly that! It was memorable for us all. THANK YOU CHEF RACHEL! For any event you're planning, I'd recommend Chef Rachel because she is reliable, communicates well, is very professional, and also one of the most pleasant persons I've ever been able to meet. If it's a casual party or a nice event, you can count on Rachel to make your party the best!! She truly is wonderful! I'll definitely be calling her again!!

Chef prepared a lovely Buffet style dinner for 20+ ladies for a friend's Bach and was willing to make it all work at an outdoor park venue! She mentioned she hadn't done an event quite like this before but was incredibly helpful and flexible in the preplanning & she came prepared with all the necessary equipment to help keep the food warm. Everything was delicious, and as many of the girls were vegetarian, her menu & cooking style offered several options to explore. We loved her Mediterranean dinner menu - the onion & feta tartlets, Moroccan tagine stuffed peppers and rose saffron Bundt cakes were especially delicious! Thank you to Chef Adina, can't wait to find another reason to work together !
