Chef Tre was excellent. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. He was super knowledgeable about the presentation, accommodated dietary restrictions and brought all of his own dishes and cookware. We thoroughly enjoyed this meal and look forward to working with Chef Tre again.

Chef Tre was amazing! I hosted a date night for my wife and he was professional, showed up on time, and was very accommodating to some food allergies we had. The food tasted delicious and we both were “wowed†by every dish. 10/10 experience. Would highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful experience with Chef Tre, who prepared an amazing surf-and-turf meal for my wife's birthday. This was actually our second time booking him for a private meal in our home, since the first dinner we had with him was so good. He even prepared extra for us, which we happily enjoyed the day after. Would highly recommend!

The food was delicious and abundant! We finished the night quite full and very satisfied. Perhaps our favorite part was the dessert. Not usually a huge pound cake fan, but this is not a usual pound cake - don't let your image of pound cake fool you! Chef Tre brought everything with him, so no need to even have plates or silverware. And when he left, we discovered some remaining risotto that he left for us so we could continue enjoying the experience days later. Thank you so much, Chef Tre!

Book Chef Tre today! My 30th birthday dinner was beautiful and delicious. He was so accommodating to the vegetarian in my group and packed up leftovers for us. The presentation and professionalism was top notch. I'm so happy I chose him and I'm still thinking about the Italian dinner he cooked months later lol.

Chef Tre was amazing! His surf and turf menu was so delicious! He was very professional and it was great hearing about the culinary world from a chef's perspective, all while eating amazing food. He came completely prepared with everything he needed. All you have to do is put on some good music and relax with some drinks until the first course comes to your table. And he left our kitchen cleaner than he found it! True pro....100% recommend.

I had the honor to experience Chef Tre's fine dining creativity and it was perfect. The food was delicious, flavorful, and delicate. He was so professional from start to finish. I would recommend Chef Tre for any and all events in the future. I can't wait for my next private chef experience with him. One of the best chefs I've came across in a while.
Jacqueline
Chef Tre is not only a talented and gifted chef but he is also very creative, from cooking to plating! He has a unique way of cooking which combines "down home" cooking with contemporary flavor as well. I highly recommend him!
Nicole
