Reviews of our private chefs around Oakland

Katheryn

Chef Jenn was a culinary delight! She transformed our celebration of life into an unforgettable night, beginning with a beautifully decorated table adorned with fresh flowers. Her exceptional southwest-inspired cuisine was a symphony of flavors and textures, thoughtfully crafted to accommodate our group's dietary needs, including allergies to corn, eggs, and milk. Each vegetarian/vegan dish was so delectable that conversation paused as we savored every bite. The cannabis-infused appetizer was a delightful and well-balanced surprise, adding a unique and dynamic element to the experience. Chef Jenn's talents extended far beyond the kitchen. Her warm demeanor, professionalism, and genuine passion for food made her a joy to work with. She effortlessly accommodated our preferences, communicating seamlessly through chat beforehand and radiating warmth and personality in person, ensuring a delightful dining experience for everyone. Thanks to Chef Jenn's culinary expertise and exceptional service, our gathering was filled with laughter, joy, and cherished memories. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to elevate their event with extraordinary cuisine and impeccable service. Thank you, Chef Jenn, for making our celebration truly special!

An amazing private dinner with Chef Wilco van den Baar

Gisela

Wilco, is een geweldige kok die in elke huiskamer past. Hij heeft voor ons voortreffelijk Italiaans gekookt en wist heel veel van de wijnen maar ook van de producten af wat hij op tafel voor ons uit serveerde. Het was voor ons een avondje uit in onze eigen huis. Complimenten!

An amazing private dinner with Chef Vincent van der Hoeven

Frans

Afgelopen week hebben wij als familie een chef aan huis laten komen. Er was wel reden voor een feestje en met 2 jonge kinderen leek dit voor ons de ideale manier om samen een avond uitgebreid te dineren. Deze manier van een chef aan huis ontvangen was zeker een topkeuze! Vincent stond in de keuken en heeft ons de meest heerlijke gerechten geserveerd. Gabriel wist daar de juiste wijnen bij te serveren en zorgde ervoor dat de rest ook op en top geregeld was. Mochten we dit nog eens doen, dan vragen we deze twee heren zeker weer! Het was een gezellige avond met heerlijk eten en drinken. En niet onbelangrijk: de keuken is brandschoon achter gelaten.

Armando

Every week you are surprising me with new delicious dishes, and always even better than the week before. Thank you so much!

Jaqueline

We had an incredible week with your mastery. Thank you again a lot.

Christel

Geweldig genoten hebben wij van het fantastische diner verzorgd door Vincent. Gabriel deed de service aan tafel. We zijn echt in de watten gelegd. Een ooie herinnering is gemaakt. Contact vooraf was heel prettig zo ook tijdens het diner.

Kingsley

Thanks for the dinner of yesterday, it was amazing! I can’t wait to eat again this tuna tataki, we really loved it. Let’s stay in touch for next summer in Ibiza.

Jeannette

Mathilde

Direct contact met de chef via het platform. Kan het menu naar je eigen wensen invullen. Gelijk duidelijkheid over de kosten. Maar het belangrijkste, een ongelooflijk mooie en goeie ervaring! Nu 2 keer gedaan, beide voelde het alsof je echt uit eten bent en de kwaliteit is zeer hoog! Daarbij werkt het platform ook erg fijn! Kan Chef Maison alleen maar aanraden komt voor mij als geroepen in deze tijd :)

An amazing private dinner with Chef Terenzio Ignoni

Karin

We had the best night with Terenzio. He is very kind and made sure we had nothing to worry about during dinner. During the preparations it was nice that Terenzio offered different options for the menu, so that all dietary requirements were taken into account. The food itself was great, very high quality and more than enough for everyone. Afterwards he left the kitchen cleaner than how it was before he started. I would definitely recommend Terenzio.

yoi.

Ontzettend leuk om thuis een avondje 'uit eten' te gaan. Chef Terenzio Ignoni heeft ons allerlei heerlijke Italiaanse gerechten voorgeschoteld. Een echte aanrader!

Sara

Terenzio came to cook for us and it was an unforgettable evening. We can definitely recommend Terenzio. If you're looking for pure and delicious Italian dishes he's the person to go to. We will definitely book him again.

Joop

Donderdag 28 augustus heeft Wilco een fantastisch walking diner bij ons thuis in de tuin verzorgd voor 11 personen. Na 3 heerlijke amuses kregen we een tartaar van tonijn met coquilles gevolgd door kabeljauwfilet met gamba saus. Daarna zijn signature gerecht de risotto met zomertruffel. Deze mag inderdaad niet ontbreken want je wil graag een extra portie. Ook het sateetje van waygu beef en het gemarineerde rood fruit als nagerecht waren beide heel smaakvolle gerechten in het menu. Wij waren enthousiast over het eten en de bediening maar ook van onze gasten hebben wij hierover complimenten gekregen. Wij hebben Wilco inmiddels gevraagd voor een volgend diner thuis. Wij kunnen hem ten zeerste aanbevelen. Top eten op Michelin niveau van een leuke kok.

An amazing private dinner with Chef Gérard Dehaye

Chloe

Nous avons passé un excellent moment grâce au chef Dehaye. Tout s’est très bien déroulé, des premiers échanges via l’application, en passant par le repas en lui même et la cuisine nickel après le passage du chef. Gérard est très agréable, discute volontiers avec les invités, donne des explications sur les plats servis, tout en sachant se faire discret. Il ne fait nul doute que Gérard est passionné par son métier et a à cœur de faire plaisir avec sa cuisine généreuse et gourmande. Nous ferons appel à lui sans hésiter a l’avenir.
