    Steak with fried rice and long beans
    Rosa P.

    Chef Michael was the first chef to respond to my inquiry and offered the most extensive menu to choose from. He was professional and passionate about his work. He's talkative and enjoys conversation with our guests. Last minute, I requested a vegan meal and he was able to assist and for that I'm grateful! Most people find private chefs to be expensive, but it's well worth the price. Especially when kids are annoying at restaurants and you just want to be comfortable in your BNB, you're now paying for the convenience and that's worth every penny. Thank you so much Chef, we look forward to seeing you again!

    They were the perfect treat to our family trip! We had five kids and six adults, and everyone loved the meal and the presentation. You can tell they care about ensuring dietary needs are met and are very versed in pleasing a large group. Would highly encourage you to work with them.

    Chef Michael is the best! From the beginning, he was very responsive to my emails, offered a variety of menu choices, and showed up right on time at our condo. He catered to all of our needs- wouldn't let my husband and I help at all. You could tell he was able to feel out if we wanted a more intimate dinner or if we wanted to socialize with him- we wanted to converse with him. He had great stories about the island and his background. He was great- so friendly. Now the food! Food was amazing!!! We had seared ahi, a fresh local salad, fresh fish, crazy good rice with green beans, the apple-banana sprig rolls with homemade ice cream. That ice cream was beyond good! He had enough to ensure we had leftovers. Everything was just as good the next day. If you are ever on Kauai- hire Chef Michael. I know we will when we return.

    Spectacular private dinner from our lanai a Alihi Lani 4. Fish in parchment, long beans, purple mashed potatoes.

    We could not stop talking about what an incredible evening we had with private dining with chef Michael. He was so easy to work with planning a special meal for a friend of ours who is vegan (health issues). Since he never gets to enjoy something prepared just for him, we wanted this to be special - and it FAR exceeded our expectations! The other 3 of us are not vegan and we were prepared to compromise for our friend - there was NO compromising at all. Every dish was spectacular from the spring rolls to the mac/cocount tart for dessert and everything in between. We did opt for the fish dish for 3 of us and he substituted tofu for our fiend - we all raved about how delicious it was. Michael was interesting and personable. He came on time and was prepared. Everything was spotless when he left. We have decided this is a MUST DO every year when we are on Kauai. Its a splurge but well worth it. When you compare to Roys or Merrimans for a similar price - this is so much better!

    We hired Corey Stokes and 2 others to cook, serve and clean up for a party of 15 in Hanalei…read more Everything was amazing. Corey and his team were professional and the food was delicious. Throwing a last minute birthday dinner while on vacation was not something I originally planned for. It was so easy working with Corey while in California. He provided a great menu with selections to choose from but was also very open to making other dishes. I opted to choose from his menu and it was amazing. He prepared and assortment of fresh sushi rolls, brushetta w/olive tapenade for appetizers. Dinner was an island version of cesar salad (with seared ahi tuna, nice touch), fresh broiled ono, filet mignon, roasted veggies.. all with an island touch. we had planned to take care of dessert ourselves but unfortunately, the icecream we had was too runny to serve, Corey and his team jumped in by running to the local market to get fresh icecream and they served it with yummy fresh fruit that they brought as a back up. I highly recommend if you are planning an event to hire Corey and his team. The price was very competitive, the food and service amazing. So easy to work with. Wish he was here in the mainland!! Mahalo!

    We had Chef Cory cook two dinners during our trip to Kauai and they were spectacular! He was very…read moreflexible in the meals and showcased a wide range of cuisines. We opted for Hawaiian / Pan-Asian for our menu and had some the best meals we ever tasted. We had a group of 15 people, 9 grown up foodies and some children who are very picky eaters. He somehow made food that made everyone happy. As a grandpa himself, he knew how to make kids food and wasn't bothered by the little kids running around while he cooked. As a parent of young kids, it was totally worth it compared to the hassles of organizing, transporting, and dealing with everyone going out to a restaurant with 15 people... this was nice and easy. This was our first private chef experience so we didn't know what we were getting into, but he made it very easy for us throughout the process, from meal planning to clean up.. Chef Cory's pricing was similar to the other options on the island and his initial quote was fairly accurate compared to the final invoice. I will definitely hire him again next time I'm in Kauai!
