Excellent!

I retained chef Michael for my boyfriend’s bday dinner. He and I were thoroughly impressed. His menu was well prepared and served. The steak was perfectly seasoned and nicely tender. The portion sizes were great and we had ample amount of left overs which we both devoured the next day. Chef Michael beats any restaurant you can go to. We highly recommend!

Also he was very punctual with his arrival and the meal was prepared right on time!

Could not have been more pleased

My son and daughter-in-law gifted me a catered dinner for 4. I could not have been more pleased with the quality, quantity or presentation of the food. The clean plates of the diners were the best testimony to a truly successful dining experience. And Chef Michael was a true pleasure to work with. He brought everything he needed, including dish towels, and left the kitchen spotless. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michael and the selections we enjoyed, which were charcuterie board, filet and creme brulee. An absolutely incredible meal and experience!

Great food and great experience

Great experience from start to finish. Chef Michael communicated with me via text which was super convenient. Food he cooked was excellent, presentation was very good and most of all, all our guests love the food. He also left the kitchen how he found it, very clean and tidy. Thank you.

We had Chef Michael cook dinner for my mom’s birthday. From the appetizer to the dessert, everything tasted amazing, and we were very impressed! We would definitely use Chef Michael again.

So Delicious

I hosted a family dinner and we were fortunate to have a wonderful experience with Chef Mike! He came early to prepare before everyone arrived and the aromas were amazing. The menu he prepared was enjoyed by all. So delicious! Thank you, Chef Mike!
Five stars!!

Chef Michael was great!

We had a lot of family and friends in and no one had to worry about the food, if it was ready or running out. Everything was excellent and the planning couldn’t have been easier. Thank you so much for making a special day delicious and easy.

Bachelorette Weekend

Chef Michael went above and beyond for my sister’s Bachelorette weekend AND birthday! His food was FANTASTIC and fit perfectly for a relaxing weekend in Lake Jordan. He arrived on time to prepare and served us with complete professionalism, it was a real treat. Additionally, in making a special request for a birthday cake he went out of his way to surprise us with an incredible cake, especially make for the bride/birthday girl.

I’ve hired a few private chefs in the past and Chef Michael was one of the best I’ve worked with. I highly recommend Chef Michael to anyone looking for delicious food and a chef that makes it easy to enjoy your evening. Thank you Chef Michael for the wonderful event!

ALL AROUND AMAZING!

Chef Michael dazzled us with an incredible meal that everyone LOVED! On the service side of things, he went out of his way to accommodate our needs and was so graciously flexible when our timing for the start of dinner got pushed almost 2 full hours…a chef’s worst nightmare. Somehow, in great spirits, he still managed to pull off an epic meal like we were right on time. The charcuterie plate was a piece of artwork and everything on it tasted incredible. Multiple people claimed that one of the cheeses was the best cheese they’d ever tasted! Everyone loved everything about their meal, from the salads (soooooo delicious) to the main course, followed up by the scrumptious dessert. I’m officially convinced that anything Chef Michael prepares will taste delicious. Presentation, food quality, flavors, flexibility, personality, and demeanor, were all on point. You will not be disappointed if you book this wonderful chef!
