“The food was delicious, creative, and visually appealing. Chris worked with us to create the perfect menu and evening. The service was exceptional, and the kitchen was spotless when he left. I’d highly recommend Chris for a private event.”

“I hired Chris for a birthday dinner and could not have been more pleased. He was quick to answer questions and tweak the menu, used high quality, fresh, in-season ingredients, and his plating was amazing. My kitchen was as clean when he left as when he arrived.”
