  • Chef Frank prepared an outstanding dinner for 25 for my husband's birthday. Everyone raved about the food and the whole evening went so smoothly. Frank was easy to work with as we planned the menu and very communicative. He and his team were professional and friendly, and I would definitely work with them again!

  • Chef Frank and his team did a spectacular job with our dinner party. For my wife’s 40th, Frank cooked a delectable meal for 16 people, which everyone loved. The appetizers were presented beautifully, and got crushed. Salad, fresh pasta course, and entree were all fantastic. He allowed our guests to select their protein for the entree in advance, which was much appreciated. They were in our kitchen prepping, cooking, and cleaning, but they were absolutely in the background and facilitated a smooth, enjoyable evening. Frank was easy and fun to work with, and even accommodated some last minute requests with no stress. Highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.

  • Frank was fantastic - punctual, unassuming, organized and easy to work with - we all thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The food was excellent - if I can give just one piece of constructive feedback - I would say moderate the portion sizes! We were soundly beaten with the amount of food. A very positive experience that I would certainly do again with him.

  • AMAZING. Frank and Ryan were so nice and the food was seriously delicious!!! I let them in, showed them where a few things were, ran through a rough agenda and the rest is history! I was fully able to enjoy the dinner party I hosted without having to worry about anything regarding dinner, sometimes I even forgot they were there. Ryan also washed my sink afterward and it's never shined so much! Cannot recommend Chef Frank enough!!
