Private Chefs in SW Florida

"My only complaint about the platform, is (and maybe this is all me) I found it difficult t..." o navigate the menu selection. I felt what I saw is what I would get. After talking to our chef, he informed me, I could have customized our dining experience vs what was generically offered. Otherwise no other issues.

"Great job. My team had a memorable experience! Thank you."

"He was very friendly and the meal he had to prepare last minute since the previously booke..." d chef backed out last minute.

"Austin was fantastic! He came to our home Monday night and prepared an excellent dinner fo..." r us. The entire process was smooth and effortless from start to finish, and Austin was professional, personable, and a pleasure to have in our home. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was beautifully prepared, and we were extremely impressed with the quality of the meal and the overall experience. We would happily book Austin again and highly recommend him.

"The sites was easy to use and was able to easily communicate with the chief "

"Francisco was engaging and fun. He was responsive to special requests and his food and it..." s presentation were just outstanding! Highly recommended.

"we especially like how Chef Harvey was able to pivot when our Airbnb AC broke and we had t..." o move to a hotel. Chef Harvey not only made the food ahead of time but still delivered it to the hotel. Chef Harvey helped us salvage the trip and we were able to celebrate my partner’s graduation with great food :)

"Amanda was perfect. She was very accommodating to our requests. Very professional. The mea..." l itself could rival any 5 star, James Beard restaurant. The quality was better than some high end restaurants I have gone to. I highly recommend Amanda and will use her again if the occasion arises

"Everything was great. Jeffrey was personable and efficient. We enjoyed it immensely. It wa..." s a wonderful evening.

"nothing but excellent reviews from the family! thank you!"

"Chef Rachel was a great addition to our trip to Hocking Hills! We had her come the night w..." e arrived and it was so nice not having to worry about dinner that first evening and start the trip in style - we even had some leftovers for the follow day. I cannot say enough about her friendliness and also her Cheesecake brownies!!! Everything was delicious down to the simplest items prepared expertly. Book Rachel!

"Love y'all and thank you so much!"

"Chef Russell was excellent, very personable and enjoyable to talk with. The food was beyo..." nd delicious and we look forward to having him again in the future.

"Good, plenty of variety, cool concept, yum. My only beef--pun intended-- is that you must ..." pay with a credit card, but you also must pay a credit card usage fee. this doesn't make sense to me since there is no option for alternative forms of payments.

"Chef Harvey was so nice. And the lamb we ordered were literally THE BEST lamb I have ever ..." had. the portions were also more than enough for four adults. I’m glad he is here in my town. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

"Robertson made our event perfect. He and his team were super prepared and even rolled with..." the punches as we had some kitchen appliance issues- you would have never known - they handled it perfectly. More importantly, everything was delicious and everyone was super impressed!

"We had a wonderful experience with Michelle! The food was excellent - her touches were tho..." ughtful and intentional. She was so fun and had great energy and it came across in her dishes!

"No. Too difficult - I spent a tremendous amount of time trying to navigate, AND Cooking G..." enie entered the wrong address for my appointment, which I did not know until I called because the chef was behind schedule. He would have ended up at a place 30 minutes away if I’d not called.
