We had an incredible brunch experience with Chef Jordan! He prepared a delicious spread for my husband and me, and from start to finish, his kindness and passion for nourishing food shone through. Chef Jordan clearly cares about how food fuels our bodies, and every dish he made was not only flavorful but felt thoughtfully crafted. We especially loved the vegetable frittata, breakfast potatoes, and fruit compote – they were absolutely perfect! Talking with him added a special touch to the meal, making the entire experience feel personal and memorable. We highly recommend Chef Jordan for anyone looking for a wonderful and nutritious dining experience at home!
5 course meal prepared by Vincenzo (Enzo) was perfect for my wife’s birthday.10/10 would hire again.
We had such a positive experience with Chef Nicole who recently came to our home for our son’s 10th birthday. He wanted a sushi party/lesson and Chef Nicole went above and beyond. Will absolutely recommend Table at Home to anyone looking to book a private chef for a special at-home experience
Table at home helped me find the perfect chef and menu for my wife’s birthday dinner. It afforded me options with respect to price, cuisine, scheme - such as timing and plating ( our China). Chef lulian arrived on time and took control- meeting all the details of our plan. All guests were impressed and look forward to using this service as well
Chef Julian was top notch. We love French food and have tried every French restaurant in dc and a few in va. Chef Julian s lobster bisque. Dover sole frissee salad roasted potatoes and French cut green beans with fresh dressings and sauces were all absolutely mouth watering. Definitely calling him again!!! Super talented
Would use again fully. Easy and really a great service for a private chef - both patron and chef. Was easy to communicate with the chef post proposal and booking.
I booked a private chef for a birthday dinner for my wife. We had Chef Atiya, who was fantastic. She was flexible with my schedule, and her dishes were amazing! My wife was floored with everything and made the occasion a memory that will last forever. I would highly recommend it!
We used TableAtHome to find a chef to come into our home and prepare a meal for a milestone birthday. My review of the chef can be found at the TableAtHome...
I used Table at Home to book a private chef for a dinner celebrating my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary in San Diego. Not being from San Diego it was really useful to find a resource for local chefs. My experience was fantastic and while we received over 10 proposals very quickly after posting our request, we ultimately chose chef Adam Webb and had an amazing dinner! The booking was easy and communicating directly with the chefs was really useful. I had some tricky palettes to deal with and was able to tweak menus and work with chef Adam’s team directly to finalize the details. My family has been talking about the experience nonstop ever since!
Incredible experience and super easy, flexible and reasonable. We will definitely be using again!
Chef Cashimiere is awesome! He is professional, timely, great personality, efficient, willing to personalize the menu according to your preferences, and the quality of food is incredible. We will definitely use him again!
Our experience with Shawn and Cindy left no doubt in our minds about having made the correct decision for our At Home 80th birthday Celebration for 10 attendees.Shawn was very communicative in planning the event and was exceedingly open to suggestions. He answered our questions promptly and left us feeling confident that our even would really happen.Well, it did. Shawn and Cindy arrived exactly at the appointed hour and began working immediately. Some of the preparation had been done in their kitchen prior to the event and some were cooked freshly in our kitchen. The dishes we selected were all served on time, at the right temperature by a smiling Cindy.The entire evening went like clockwork, the food was delicious, Shawn explained each dish to our guests mentioning where the ingredients were raised or grown and how they were prepared and all had a wonderful experience. We had also asked Shawn to let us know what wines would best pair with our menu which he did. The wines were also well received by our guests.To finish off the night Shawn and Cindy entirely cleaned our kitchen including all service dishes and meal dishes and only left a few drinking glasses that would not fit in the dishwasher.When you get Shawn's proposal, SAY YES!
A seamless and delicious experience!
Seamless experience from beginnjng to end. Easy to navigate website, immediate responses from chefs with hard to choose options. Each menu had fabulous entrees!! Excellent communication with chef before and during event. The evening was a wonderful gastronomic experience. Highly recommend!
Very accomodating, food delicious fresh and within my budget I was able to entertain and have an amazing experience.Thanksnyou Chef Ken.
Chef Airon was fabulous! He was very easy to communicate with prior to our event. Chef Airon created a delicious Italian theme menu for our dear friend’s 50th birthday dinner. Not only was the food delicious, he also cleaned the kitchen after serving the 3 course dinner. Highly recommend Chef Airon.
What a terrific birthday gift for my husband. Chef Jordan was amazing and fit right in. We learned, laughed and stuffed our faces with high quality food. It was such a great experience. We are already planning our next dinner. !
Great experience booking a private baking lesson with a local chef. It was easy to submit a proposal and connect with a local chef. Will definitely use this service again in the future for private or group lessons!
Chef Tiya was absolutely amazing! She provided excellent services for our Christmas Dinner! Everyone enjoyed their meal. She was very professional, sweet and caring. We will recommend her to everyone we know!Thanks so much Chef Tiya!
Table at Home helped me find a great chef, Chef Kee. I was very pleased with that website and service.
We wanted a special dinner for our anniversary. Hired a chef from Table at Home (Iulian) who was prompt, courteous, prepared, and cooked a great meal. He cleaned up as well. It was a fabulous meal. Definitely will use Table at Home again.
Chef Sunny and his wife Jenny were wonderful! Great communication, thoughtful about our food preferences and amazing with two rambunctious kids. Excellent experience overall!
This service is amazing! We had a great evening of delicious food!
Lulian cooked a wonderful dinner for our family last night. Food was delicious, served wonderfully and made for a great evening. Looking forward to doing it again soon!
Chef Tony DiSalvo created a Michelin star experience in our home for my foodie friends. He was on time, prepared, genuine, an excellent communicator pre-event, and an exceptional chef during the party. Everyone at the party raved about his sashimi, baby artichoke salad, Wagyu beef filets, home-made gluten free pasta, celery root purée and gf chocolate torte. His magnetic and fun personality gave all of the guests looking for trade secrets an unforgettable experience. He is a gem and a gift to the culinary profession. He even cleaned up so we could focus on connecting with our guests. He was a true partner in the kitchen in every way and you would be lucky to have him help host a cooking party.
I was looking to book a fine dining level experience to celebrate my wife’s birthday. After an easy google search I found Table at Home, the user interface was so easy to navigate. I entered my dinner requirements and working 24 hours I had my first professional chef prepared menu, after 48 hours I had several more proposals. All proposed menus were clearly listed and very detailed. Each were high quality! Once I made my decisions the chef and i began to communicate via phone and text to plan the details of our dinner. It was perfect! Prices were competitively priced to any 5 star fine dining restaurant in the Washington DC area. I highly recommend chef Natalie!!
Such an awesome experience that Chef Francesco provided! All of the courses were beyond delicious and Chef Francesco was very warm and friendly. Highly recommend him!
I booked Sunny for private birthday dinner for 2 for my boyfriend 32nd birthday. He was super professional. Arrived on time. He cooked exactly what was agreed upon on the menu. The food was delicious. N my boyfriend is a foodie so he really appreciated Sunny's action to detail and the quality of the ingredients served especially the meats . He was super helpful in making my birthday surprise a success. Will book again and recommend him for others. Great job glad I found table at home.
Chef Joey was the best. He prepped and prepared a complete southern dinner. He cleaned up and boxed my left overs. My family loved all the food and desserts
I used Table at Home to provide my sister and her family with a fine dining experience. It is difficult for them to go out since they are caring for one of their disabled daughters. This experience gave them the joy of eating a restaurant type gourmet meal together as a family. Francesco was their chef and his Italian meal was excellent! They truly thought the food was amazing as well as all the conversation with Francesco. He and I spoke a few times to set the menu and details. He was so personable and had great suggestions esp since we required a vegetarian menu. I would definitely recommend Francesco again to more family and friends. I would also recommend Table at Home!
Chef Alex...you were amazing. Clean, prompt, and, most importantly, the food was delicious. Thank you! However, I wouldn't have gotten the privilege of working with Chef Alex without going through the Table at Home portal. Easy to use, with a variety of choices as it pertained to the menu. And the response time coordinated well with my plans. In the end, I did a little work with the portal, Chef Alex catered amazingly, and my wife enjoyed it. That's what matters the most. Gratitude to Table at Home.
Chef Kenneth Luk and his sous chef Emily were beyond amazing! They made my mom’s birthday celebration so special. The food was outstanding, and they were such a pleasure to work with! I could not recommend this chef and Table at home enough!
We had Chef Shawn cook for us and had an incredible experience. Absolutely unforgettable.
Chef Nicole was a pleasure to work with from the moment we connected. She creatively worked around our gluten-free request. Every dish was so tasty and well presented. She eloquently decorated our table with beautiful flowers. I would highly recommend chef Nicole.
We had Chef Shawna create a special birthday dinner for my husband. We have young children so this was a great way to celebrate while they were sleeping. The food was amazing and the kitchen cleaned. I would definitely recommend Chef Shawna!
DOPE! Chef Stacy was amazing! Worth the money. Excellent food, timely, and convenient. Highly recommend this service.
Table at Home and Chef Massimo were fantastic. They make it really essy to host a dinner party in your home. I would highly recommend.
My wife hired Chef Cashimiere to make me a birthday dinner in our home. I'd have to say that the experience was one of the best birthday presents I've ever received. And, the meal ranks as one of the best I've ever eaten, period. As well as being a great chef, Cashimiere was fun to talk with while he was cooking. He started us with a bruschetta appetizer, and then led us through salad and an amazing duck 2 ways main course. Dessert was profiteroles with custard and berries for me, and chocolate moose for my wife. My description though, doesn't even begin to describe the decadence of the meal. Each element of each course could have stood on its own as an entree. At the end of the meal I jokingly asked if he could come back next week - but we would love to have him back again soon!
Nicole C. was absolutely fantastic and everything was delicious. I booked with her for a brunch and she made things like simple breakfast potatoes taste incredible and memorable. She was very accommodating with changing the menu to our taste and very fun. We can’t wait to have her again!
I used table at home to book a private chef for my wife and I on our anniversary, and the website was very easy to use, and the process was flawless! We ended up having a great night, the food was amazing, and the chef was great at communicating with us and assisting us with planning. I thought it would be much more complicated, but it turned out to be very easy. I would definitely recommend to a friend!
Great Experience from start to finish! Highly recommend, the food was fantastic and the chef/sous chef were wonderful!
This was my 2nd time using Table at Home and it did not disappoint. Chef Atiya was truly wonderful throughout the whole process. She Was extremely professional and also very personable. Each course was excellent, my favorite was the curry crab soup! Literally everything was cooked with the perfect flavors and tenderness. Thanks Chef Atiya for making our anniversary dinner a memorable one.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the wonderful words Rasheed!
This was our first time using Table at Home but it won't be the last! It was easy to get bids for our event. The booking platform and communications were clear and eat to use. Our chef was professional and did an amazing job with our chosen menu.
Chef Shawn cooked for a family birthday party and it was delicious! He was fantastic and all of the guests could not stop talking about the food and awesome service. Table at Home was a great service that made finding a private chef a breeze and I would highly recommend using them.
We hired Chef Nicole and she was professional, talented, friendly, amazing. Best dinner. We had a night to remember forever because of her. Highly recommend.
We had the best experience with Chef Sunny who we booked through Table at Home. The booking experience was seamless, and working with Chef Sunny leading up to the night of our dinner was a true pleasure. He was incredibly thoughtful, detailed, communicative, friendly - and the food was exquisite. My husband and I can’t stop talking about it. Highly recommend!
The full turn key experience provided by Chef Ben was outstanding. From working with me on several iterations to the menu, accommodating my ask for printed menus for our guests to promptly responding to all my emails.I was very impressed with the presentation and taste of each dish he served. Our meal included appetizers, salad, 2 main courses and 2 desserts. Each better than the next dish.It was such a treat, to be out of the kitchen and enjoy the company of our guests, with the extra win-win bonus of a clean and tidy kitchen at the end of the evening!Service received was first class – and the thought and attention beforehand was amazing. Thank you again for your hard work, Chef. Your food definitely contributed greatly to the success of our party.
