I received this gift certificate last year for Christmas. What a fantastic idea! I don't think I will ever forget our dinner party, just because it was so unique. I will be buying these for all my friends and clients in the future. 10/10 for everything!

- Jonathan Graham

We were so impressed by Steve.  He was personable and friendly.  We were very nervous about having someone come into our home like this but having Steve here was more like having a friend visit with us.  The food was excellent on it's own but it was Steve's personality and hospitality that made the evening.  He kept us entertained by telling us about each dish, explaining how it was prepared and making comments about anything unusual that he did with the dish.

We would all recommend this experience to others and are seriously considering doing it again. It was easily about and beyond what we were expecting. Thank you and Steve for a wonderful experience.

Chef David was great!  His food was absolutely delicious and he is quite a character!  I got tons of compliments.  Thank you for the introduction!  The bartender was amazing as well.
