Xavier was awesome. Was visiting SD area for my birthday and knew I wanted to do something special but wasn’t quite sure where to start so a family member recommended Table at Home site. After getting the offers it was clear to me that Xavier was the best choice. Not only was his proposal a fair price but he gave me several options to choose from to ensure my guests all had something they would love. He was extremely responsive throughout the process which put me at ease since I was traveling from out of town. He was able to pivot quickly when we found out we had a guest with dietary restrictions.
Day of: he showed up on time with his two team members. They work masks and were very conscious of safety and were incredibly friendly. Our group was a little delayed getting started but Xavier was more than willing to accommodate. Dinner courses were absolutely delicious and well paced. They even worked with our group to take a quick break between entree and dessert to allow for surprise entertainment that showed up.
Overall, we loved working with Xavier and his team. Their experience and professionalism shown through. They provided us a restaurant quality experience while still maintaining the familiarity of a family dinner we were looking for.
Would highly recommend and we will definitely plan to use them if we are in the area again!!
