Heidi J.
Booked the menu Custom Surf & Turf Creations with Chef David S. in Los Angeles (Palms)
Chef David came to cook us Thanksmas! The Surf & Turf meal he prepared was divine! The crab cakes moist and flavorful, the tenderloin cooked to perfection, the flourless chocolate cake simply decadent. Not only was dinner a highlight, Chef David himself is a joy to be around. You can feel how much he enjoys sharing his gift of cooking with the people he serves. Thanks for making our holiday celebration extra special!
Grace M.
Booked the menu Regional French Cuisine with Chef Cedric in Malibu
This was an INCREDIBLE dining experience. Chef Cedric and Samantha were amazing. Each course was both so tasty and so tastefully put together. The salad was so flavorful, the beef short rib melted in your mouth, and everything in between was so so good. Cedric also shared with us his story and his work as a chef across the world. They gave us a 5 star restaurant experience in the comfort of our own home. We highly recommend Cedric and Reiter Catering!!! Would book this again in a heartbeat. Our whole group of 12 greatly enjoyed the experience. The food was incredible and the service and care from Chef Cedric and Samanta elevated the experience even more!
Booked the menu Surf & Turf Excellence with Chef Dorian
Dorian was fantastic! Incredibly delicious food and very accommodating and engaging. Can’t wait to do this again and would 100% recommend Dorian!
Booked the menu Regional French Cuisine with Chef Cedric in Agoura Hills
Cedric was amazing! The food was incredible, every bite was delicious. There was plenty of food! Cedric accommodated us so well on any dietary request we had and what time we wanted the dinner to start. He was very chill which made for a wonderful relaxing dinner. He was professional throughout and cleaned up everything. It was a lovely experience- couldn't recommend it more!
