Chef Dorian is a magician in the kitchen! I can't explain the dishes he creates with a few ingredients any other way! His food is simple yet the flavors are so complex! I have been dining around the world for many years and Chef Dorian has created some of my favorite dishes! Once you try his food you will be a customer for life. I feel honored that I have had the opportunity to taste his delicious food and look forward to returning to his kitchen.

Chef Dorian has been so kind in every respect of the word. Every single one of his events are carefully thought out, the food is amazing, and you instantly canвЂ™t wait to attend another event. I was blessed this summer to have him come into my home and cook for my family in celebration of my birthday. Chef Dorian took my vision and made it everything and more. I have already booked him for next year and my family already canвЂ™t stop talking about when he will come back again. Do yourself a favor and hire Chef Dorian to make your event magical.

Chef Dorian was STELLAR! He worked with me one on one to plan a 5 course birthday meal with my boyfriend, themed "The Menu." He arrived early, had everything prepped and ready to go within an hour and he was entertaining and charismatic throughout the meal. NOT TO MENTION EVERYTHING WAS SO ELEVATED AND DELICIOUS. Will definitely be using Chef Dorian again!

Chef Dorian is the man! My wife planned a 8 person brunch for my birthday with a menu curated by the chef himself, and it was spectacular. Each dish on the 5 course tasting menu was well thought out to cater to things I enjoy and was delicious. He is quite gifted in the kitchen. All of his dishes were plated impeccably. His ingredients were super fresh and delicious. He also caters to various diet desires including vegetarian/vegan. Before looking any further, ask about ALL of his offerings because beyond the private cheffing, he also does grazing tables, meal prepping, packables (for a picnic/Hollywood bowl, for example) and anything culinary your heart/mind can conceive. We can NOT wait to work with him and his team again.

Chef Dorian really wowed us for our special event. From the planning to the orchestration of the meal, everything was taken care of, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The cuisine that he crafts is full of outstanding and unique flavor combinations, like his porcini - chocolate torte. So good! I highly recommend him, and will definitely call on him and his team for our next occasion!!

Picture this: a dining experience where every bite feels like a revelation, where every dish tells a story of flavor and flair. That's exactly what Chef Dorian delivered when we invited him to work his magic in our kitchen. We gave Chef Dorian a rough idea of what we liked and didn't like, and he returned with a seven-course tasting menu that left us speechless. Seriously, we couldn't have dreamt up a better feast if we tried. What really blew us away was not just the food, but the whole vibe Chef Dorian and his crew brought to the table. They were like a culinary dream team, making sure every detail was on point and every guest felt like royalty. And let's talk about the food вЂ“ oh my goodness! Each dish was a work of art, both in taste and presentation. Our guests couldn't stop raving about it, and neither could we. Plus, when the party was over, Chef Dorian and his crew left our kitchen sparkling clean. Talk about going above and beyond! We were so impressed that we've already booked Chef Dorian for our Mother's Day brunch. Trust us, you don't want to miss out on this culinary genius. Book him now before he's all booked up!
