To start we answered a few questions and give some ideas about our interests, allergies, and some vegan meal needs. Then we received some menu options, all sounded delicious. We made our selections and asked for some fun drinks too. My group loved Chef Kerry's food and she was just fun to be around while she was cooking. It was the first time we had ever done something like this and what a great experience!

WOW!!! We had the pleasure of having Chef Albert and his amazing team cater our intimate wedding…read morereception at home for a total 16 people. From start to finish, the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. Chef Albert made the process of choosing the menu super easy and was more than happy to accommodate all our preferences. The meal began with two appetizers--hamachi crudo (melt-in-your-mouth fresh) and bacon-wrapped asparagus (perfect savory flavor). The broccoli cheddar soup was rich and creamy followed by a panzanella salad. The highlight of the evening was the 8oz filet mignon, cooked to absolute perfection--tender and juicy. To end the night, we indulged in a crème brûlée. I had never done anything like this before, and my now-husband and our family have been raving about the food and experience. If you're looking for a private chef who delivers above-and-beyond service, do not hesitate to book this team. They truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

He was such a pleasure to have in our space and never felt like he was intruding on the intimacy of our gathering. He fit right in. Even though he was a team of one, he served everything warm, timely, and beautifully plated. He was also able to accommodate different entrées for the vegetarians in our group. I really appreciated that he let us linger between courses and never made us feel rushed. The icing on the cake was not only his incredible Olive Oil Cake, but the fact that he cleaned up so thoroughly that we didn't have to do a thing after he left. I would highly recommend Daniel for a dinner party or small gathering. He made our girls' night feel like a special and memorable experience.

Chef Matty provided meals for our three day company retreat, and not only did he come through with…read moresome really good cuisine throughout (don't miss out on his Mediterranean!), he delighted with some really nice surprises along the way (no spoilers here). He also made sure he took good care of the one vegetarian in our crew, as well as being very attentive to some food allergies we had in our group. His pricing was fair, and he was super prompt and flexible. Our comms were a bit hit or miss as we dialed in details a couple months before the event - but once we got to within a week or so, and certainly as we were going through the event, his comms were on point. He provided a bartender on our first night, and that was probably the only place there was room for improvement, as the bartender wasn't very personable, and left without saying goodbye or cleaning up after himself. We'd definitely use Matty again next time we're out in the desert!

The chicken was chicken legs covered with (bottled) BBQ sauce, the baked beans tasted like they were out of a can. the ribs were tough, not fall off the bone good.

If he shows up at my door again, I am calling the police.

I am delighted to offer my highest recommendation for Brother's Brunch & BBQ Catering. I recently…read morehired Trevor to cater an 80th birthday champagne brunch, and he, along with his assistant Ethan, exceeded both my expectations and those of my guests. The food was abundant, delicious, and beautifully presented. The variety of choices was exceptional, and the made-to-order omelets were truly a highlight of the event. The wide selection of fresh ingredients allowed everyone to customize their omelet exactly to their liking. One especially thoughtful touch that impressed everyone was that, after placing an omelet order, the hot dish was personally delivered to guests wherever they were seated. Trevor and Ethan arrived promptly at 8:30 a.m. for my 11:00 a.m. party and immediately began preparing everything from scratch. They carefully cleaned and plated fresh fruit, arranged an assortment of breads, and created a stunning brunch display. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and organization made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. At the end of the event, they left my kitchen spotless. My friends were so impressed that several are already planning a BBQ gathering just so we can have Trevor cook for us again!

Okay that is fine so we went ahead and booked her. .All her invoices stated Gratuity Not Included, so we gave her tip in cash the first time and the next 4 visits she said just pay me the tip at the end. Three days before our last dinner she sent an invoice which now she added a New line item of 22% gratuity. She asked my husband for the last invoiced to be paid within 1/2 hour of getting here. We had 8 guest and my husband said we will Zelle you or Venmo or PayPal on the tip, after we go over all of the invoices, she said No and I will not leave until I get it and went and sat at the barstool until we paid her 22 % nonnegotiable . She was very rude and unprofessional in our opinion, with all our guest here she did not care. Also, lots of adders to our invoice which were not expected. Her food was good and lie oved her helpers , we asked to have food prepared ahead of time because she spent over 6 hours the first time she was will to do it in a commercial kitchen with extra charge but well worth it...
