What guests loved about their private chef experience in San Diego

Shannon S. Shannon S.

Booked the menu Elegance of Surf and Turf with Chef Perez

Chef was super friendly and very talented! The food was fantastic! However, he did not serve dishes to the table, and did not wash all dishes after. The leftover mess took more than an hour to clear. For large groups, he would need a sous chef

Elise M. Elise M.

Booked the menu Caribbean Surf and Turf with Chef Jamila

What a phenomenal meal and experience with Jamila! Truly the best meal ever served in our home! The food was absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly (the short ribs melted in our mouths), and plated beautifully. We truly felt like we were swept away to a fancy restaurant in the Caribbean. I also loved her attention to detail and how she kept our kitchen spotless. I will definitely be hiring her again!
