Chef Esh-Marie was amazing! She exceeded our private chef expectations. Chef came early and stayed late, the dinner was delicious and she was very accommodating. She left the kitchen cleaner than it was when she arrived and was super friendly and fun to talk to. Thank you Chef!

Oh my Goodness! We had the most awesome experience with Chef Esh-Marie. Our expectations were met a thousand times over. My family and friends were impressed by the presentation of each and every course. Chest Esh-Marie was on time and very professional. The charcuterie board was especially exquisite. We loved the portions and the quality of our meal. We thought the chef was extremely pleasant and would recommend her to everyone. She made this a very special 60th birthday celebration for my brother.

Esh- Marie put together a fantastic meal for my dad's 70th birthday. She was able to adjust the menu to fit our needs, came on time and left everything spotless. She was a joy to have at our house and really made us feel comfortable during the dinner. I wasn't sure what to expect this being the first time we've used a private chef for an event, but I would highly recommend Esh-Marie for your next dinner party.
