Posted on Jessica OsorioJanuary 4, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a stellar experience from start to finish. Chef Rob was quick to respond and offered me several vegan options to choose from. Being plant based, it can be challenging to find places that offer options, but Chef Rob was more than happy to collaborate with me to make the perfect menu with vegan meals for me and meat options for my husband. This was our first time booking a private chef, and it was a true highlight of our cabin get away. Chef Rob arrived on time with everything that he needed, provided printed menu cards that we kept as a memento, got started right away while we played games, and left the kitchen spotless when finished cooking. Our menu consisted of polenta e funghi appetizers, ancient grain salad with farro and roasted vegetables, two entrees including tagliatelle al ragu bolognese and garlic-basil cashew alfredo, as well as vegan crème brûlée to top it all off. Everything was made to perfection. I was so appreciative that Chef Rob made my special request dessert as I had not had crème brûlée in over a decade since going vegan. It was delightful. We had more food than we could eat and Chef Rob even brought containers so we can take our left overs home. Great food and great company! 10 out of 10 from us! We will be booking Chef Rob again!Posted on quan taylorOctober 26, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chef Rob was truly amazing.
