What Guests Are Saying About These Experiences With Chef Lisa

Sam N.

09/29/2016

I booked Chef Lisa's Land & Sea summer buffet with my friends in my community room and was amazed by the quality of the food and her presenting it to us and serving our 16 guests. Chef Lisa is a very seasoned chef and you see it in everything she does in the kitchen. In addition to this full-service catering menu, we had also booked her drop-off menu and both were fantastic.

Sam C.

09/25/2014

Chef Lisa really knows her stuff! She's a real pro in the kitchen, and exudes a confidence that extends to the dishes she executes both perfectly and deliciously. Would definitely take more classes with her!

Sydney M.

09/25/2014

Chef Lisa prepared all of her meals flawlessly and made everything look so easy and fun. Her dishes taste wonderful AND look beautiful. The kale and chard salad brought together the most gorgeous colors into a wholesome dish. I love surf & turf dinners and Chef Lisa's meal is one I'm glad I did not miss!

Nikki M.

Lisa was warm and friendly, great with the kids, so efficient and fast, made sure to clean every last dish that we had and took all trash with her. Food standouts were her delicious avocado dip, juicy steak, yummy wild mushrooms, amazing molten lava chocolate cake.
