    My husband hired Chef Melissa as a birthday present for me - a nice dinner in the comfort of our own home. We would consider ourselves "food enthusiasts" and have had the opportunity to eat at some pretty fantastic places - but this was by far one of our most favorite culinary experiences! Right off the bat, Chef Melissa allowed us to provide some input into the menu and tailored it to us perfectly! If you enjoy trying new flavors and appreciate where ingredients come from/are sourced, then we would highly recommend Chef Melissa! She was the perfect balance of being professional yet personable while cooking right in front of us. We tried flavors we've never had, while enjoying a twist on our favorite foods - like bang bang shrimp, lamb, and pasta! While we hired Chef Melissa to cook for just the two of us, her food and style can easily translate to larger groups. We could not recommend Chef Melissa and Suncoast Cuisine more!

    Melissa was fantastic!! We had such a lovely and relaxing evening celebrating my mother in law's 74th birthday! Melissa arrived on time, was both easy to talk to and happy to let our family do our own thing. She was also wonderful about our numerous photograph requests, entertained tons of our questions about how she got into this and what it's been like during COVID times, and she served us the most delicious dinner in the privacy, safety, and comfort of our home! We found her rates to be very reasonable, she was super flexible about the menu options, she was highly responsive over email and text, and we would love to have her back for another occasion! HIGHLY recommend!

    Chef Melissa made us hands down THE BEST meal we've ever had on AMI. She came to our vacation house and quickly whipped up a menu we prepared together in advance. A red snapper ceviche appetizer with sweet potato chips, a chicken and cheese quesadilla for our 5 year old, a Caribbean chopped salad, a surf and turf dinner, and two delicious desserts. She cleaned up and left us with full happy bellies! Our family is so grateful for such an amazing dining experience and would hire Melissa again for dinner or maybe next time to try brunch or lunch for sure!

    Her substandard cleaning practices and undercooked food gave my entire family food poisoning and put my daughter in the hospital for 2 days

The food was fabulous, the presentation was beautiful, and everything he prepared was absolutely delicious. From the very beginning, Chef Bruno made the entire process effortless. During the planning stages, he asked thoughtful questions about our family -- their likes, dislikes, and what we were in the mood for -- and then crafted a fresh, perfectly balanced menu. His selection of appetizers, salads, mains, and desserts satisfied everyone at the table. He visited Walt's Seafood that morning to pick up the freshest fish for our entrée and ceviche, both of which were huge hits. Every side dish and every sauce complemented the meal beautifully, making each course feel complete and memorable. To top it all off, the kitchen was cleaner when he left than when he arrived. Chef Bruno didn't just cook us dinner -- he created an unforgettable experience for our family.

Every dish was incredible--from the fried deviled eggs, potstickers, and fried shrimp with goat cheese to the perfectly cooked miso sea bass, wasabi mashed potatoes, and green beans. And to top it all off, a decadent dark chocolate cake with homemade vanilla bean ice cream! Chef Bruno not only prepared everything to perfection, but he also took the time to explain each dish, some of which were his own family recipes. The timing of the meal was flawless, and he left the kitchen even cleaner than when he arrived. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience, I highly recommend Chef Bruno Wu!

I'm SO GLAD I made that choice because this was a bad experience. We scheduled the date, set the menu ... and then Vivian canceled the day beforehand. We rescheduled and declined her offer for extra food to make it right, offering some grace since issues happen sometimes. On the 2nd attempt, she sent me a text the afternoon of the event to say she was "stuck in traffic," but her sous chef would get things started and she would be there in time to cook the dinner. She never showed up AT ALL that night. The sous chef said Vivian just had other events that conflicted with mine-- so apparently it was just poor planning. Her sous chef was very young, nice and hardworking. However, it was a lot for one person, without having the support person to plate & serve the food, clear the courses, etc. I pitched in to be nice and acted as our server, but for $1500, I definitely should not have had to! And more importantly, since she couldn't focus solely on cooking, she made some mistakes, such as inconsistent results in the temperature of the meat across the servings (some were great and others were overcooked) and cold, over-mashed potatoes that turned pasty/gummy. Vivian also forgot about the conversation we previously had about our dessert choice and had the girl make something different than what I chose. I made that dessert choice for a very specific reason and am frustrated by her lack of attention to detail, which is obviously a pattern. On top of Vivian's poor behavior with the 2nd "no show", when I gave her the feedback about the food at our event and told her that I was disappointed, she decided to ARGUE with me, rather than even apologizing. Apparently, she felt she knew exactly how everything tasted, based on a few pictures that the sous chef texted to her, so I was wrong. It was an inappropriate and unprofessional response, especially given the other mistakes that were made.
