"Andrew from Rojo Food Concepts created the most memorable experience for my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and was able to accommodate us at short notice given that we scheduled for a Sunday night. The process was fantastic- he emailed a relatively short questionnaire that allowed him to hone in on goals for our experience. I am definitely a particular person and Andrew created a perfect menu plan on his first shot. I should also mention that we were very comfortable having him in the home, that the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, and he and his assistant (Will) left the kitchen spotless after our dining experience. Don't think twice, you won't regret hiring Andrew for your event."
"Disclaimer: Chef Nataly is my cousin, and I have not had her food as served from this service largely because we live in different cities and the opportunity has not yet come up, but one thing I can say is this. I struggled at first with the fact that I wanted to review her service, because I had not had the opportunity to sample her work, but then I realized that Nataly's value as a chef was already known to me by virtue of our common upbringings. Food in our family matters thus, though this review will not particularly be about "Revel Luxe Chef Service" but instead about Chef Nataly's background, I hope this will prove helpful to anyone choosing a Chef's Service.Our family is very eclectic in terms of culinary and cultural diversity. We are from many different places from all over the world with backgrounds stemming from American, Chinese, French, Irish, Italian, Korean, Mexican, and Persian cultures.And it should be pointed out that in our family, we all cook. Among our extended family, with common ancestors going back 5 generations, I believe I have heard the phrase "you could open a restaurant!" about at least one person in every family. I have heard this said for a fact about Nataly's and my common grandmother, who being renowned among those who know her as being an exceptional cook, and by her own account had begun cooking since the age of 8, later feeding 5 growing boys as a mother.The phrase has also been uttered about Nataly's mother who can cook a myriad of meals from the different cuisines listed above, alternating between traditional and vegetarian/vegan styles.As far back as I can remember Nataly grew up in a home that valued quality above all things, with a strong mindset focused on organics and local produce. To this day and all throughout my life, my Uncle and Aunt's home still abides by this standard because it is simply a way of life.There are those among us who are quite simply naturals in our chosen professions, and it would accurate to state that Nataly is the first in our family to choose this profession not just because she was good at it, and loves it, but also because she is brave and fearless. I say this because as it is commonly known, the culinary arts are a risky dominion where opinions, when lacking a foundational benchmark, can quickly turn sour when put to the test in the real world. But she trusted herself enough to decide to take the risk and pursue this line of work. Nataly has now been doing this for long enough, and growing with every year, and all whilst simultaneously raising children, proves that our opinions and tastes are broad enough that they undoubtedly cater to a wide range of palates and should be a sure bet when predicting the satisfaction one expects to experience by choosing her service.It doesn't hurt either to mention the little detail that she's a Cordon Bleu graduate and clearly knows what she's doing."
"If I could give Chef Monique 10 stars, I would. We booked her for a girlfriend's bachelorette party and everything was absolute perfection. The salmon was cooked like nothing I've ever had before with the lightest crispiest skins and the most incredible strawberry dessert! And honestly, if the food wasn't enough, Chef Monique is so incredibly professional, gracious, and made us feel so so special! Could not recommend her more and can't wait until we have another event and can bring her in for it!"
"Devon was instrumental in catering my fiancee's bachelorette brunch. Due to some changing plans, I wanted to find someone who could deliver a brunch for 16 girls on only a week's notice. Devon patiently worked with me through several conversations to find the perfect menu to meet the dietary needs of the whole group that also fit within my budget. My fiancee LOVES eggs benedict, which is not something that is easy to deliver. Devon made sure to make that a priority, and the final result got rave reviews. We also had custom signage to put the final touches on the display. Overall, it was a huge success, and I would recommend Devon Eats to anyone."
"Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The food was incredible, conversation incredible. Just an all around awesome time. I searched for a chef in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area. I picked Will based on the reviews. But they don't do him justice. He made us laugh all night, had just the right amount of interaction, and even stayed after our meal to hang out before we called it a night. I can't say enough good things about him. We had him over to cook for our girls weekend. Of all of the vendors we used, he was the best by a landslide. If you are considering a chef in the area, look no further than Chef Will. I assure you, you will not be disappointed!"
"Chef Jenn was the private chef for a two day wellness retreat I recently attended in Scottsdale and she did an outstanding job!Every meal was packed with flavor and healthy.It is so rare to come away from a meal satisfied but not feeling stuffed and uncomfortable but her combination of healthy ingredients and dynamic flavors does the job!Couldn't give her a more enthusiastic recommendation and hope to use her services again when I am back in the area!"
"Chef Adrienne is not only one of the most talented chefs that I have worked with, but she has made every single one of my events (large or small) an incredible EXPERIENCE for both myself and my guests alike. Her attention to detail and ability to connect with me (and my crazy ideas haha) has been key in taking my events to the next level."
"These guys are amazing! Last night we hired them for my mom's 60th birthday and it was an incredible experience!!! The food and dining experience was wonderful and I highly recommend them for your private events. My salmon was INCREDIBLE"
"This review was written by my husband:I threw my wife a small dinner party at our home in March. I originally was going to get the party catered but thought using a personal chef would be a classier and more personal touch. I've never hired the services of a personal chef before so I didn't really know what to expect. In typical hubby fashion, I did not leave myself much time during the planning process. Luckily, after some brief researching via Yelp, the first chef that I contacted was Celeste. After filling out a brief online questionnaire about my event, I was able to get a phone appointment set up with Celeste within a day or two. During the call we spoke more in-depth about the specifics of my party. She had a prior engagement on the day that I wanted to book her that wouldn't allow her & her staff to arrive to my house as early as I'm sure she would've professionally preferred given the start time, but she assured me she could make it work and I was just happy for the fact that she had availability. She was very helpful in walking me through my food, beverage, & decor options. Once we decided on the basics of what I wanted she said she would craft a menu around my needs and get back to me. Throughout my dealings with Celeste her communication was superb. She makes herself available via phone, text, & email without issue and is always prompt with her responses. If she has a question or update she will reach out. I had an issue where I had to inform her that two of my guests were vegetarian after we already had settled on the menu and she accommodated that change last minute. I'm sure it was more of an inconvenience to her than she let on, but as a customer you appreciate that 'no problem' type of attitude in those situations. On the day of the party, Celeste, her sous-chef, & bartender all arrived on time & professionally dressed to setup. Her bartender was outgoing & engaging. She crafted a couple of signature drinks for the event and was proactive about making sure everyone's glass was full throughout the evening. Celeste began the meal with a seafood dip bruschetta that she recommended over some other appetizer options I considered. She couldn't have been more right, it was delicious! The main course was surf & turf (filet & lobster tail) with asparagus & au gratin potatoes. The filet was outstanding! So flavorful and tender. My wife loves lobster tail and was a big fan. The potatoes were a hit as well. Celeste insisted we try her strawberry cheesecake over any other dessert and we were not disappointed. After the meal, she and her staff cleaned up and left us with the leftovers. I was truly impressed with my overall experience with Celeste & her staff. They were personable, professional, and made it an amazing night for my wife and our guests! I strongly recommend using Celeste for any dinner party or event you may be planning."
"Chef Jacquelynn is the BEST!!! She made a delicious surf n turf meal for 12 of us and then came back the next morning to make us brunch. Everyone raved about how good the food was. She was excellent in every way!!"
"Wanted a fabulous evening for a very special birthday, and Tableside Gourmet delivered a spectacular cocktail hour and dinner for 10.The presentation of every appetizer and meal course was perfect, and the taste was out of this world. They definitely put their own unique twist on every course, and the result is amazing.Kevin and Sophia were engaging and charming, but remained invisible except when serving each delicious course. Would love to have them back anytime for that perfect touch on a special occasion."
"Blessed Chef Catering was a perfect decision for my wife's birthday party with great friends. Chef Connor created a wonderful three course meal that we enjoyed while relaxing at home. He did all the work, including grilling fillet mignon steaks perfectly while orchestrating the entire meal without delay. The 11 of us had a thoroughly wonderful evening visiting and laughing while enjoying Chef Connor Cassidy's creations. Highly recommend for small or medium sized catered events. Thank you Connor!"

Adrienne took our deposit (50%) and never showed up to cook for our friend's bachelorette party - even under a signed contract. We spent months emailing with her back and forth to determine the best menu for our friend only to get stood up the day of. We were so excited. What's most upsetting is the bride's only request for the her special weekend was a chef to come in and cook a special dinner. We even made menus for everyone to have at their seat. We sent her the deposit via cashapp three months before the event. The ball was left in her court and she was supposed to confirm with us that the payment went through. She didn't do that until 10pm the night before. Then she just stopped responding to us. I was shocked at the lack of professionalism and genuine care and respect for her customers. I've worked in the service industry, customer service, and sales for the last 15 years and I have never experienced this kind of blatant disrespect. I'm writing this to warn those who are looking to provide a special moment to their loved ones because you will be left hanging.

Wow, could not have had better service or food. Michael was fantastic to work with from booking to the day of our event. He and his team were friendly, helpful, and not to mention great chefs. We booked brunch for a bachelorette party and everyone love it. The homemade juices were perfect for pairing with Prosecco! Lots of different options for everyone to choose from. I'd highly recommend booking Lil' Leto Catering!

"Wow. Last minute we decided to go to Scottsdale for the Fiesta Bowl. Even more last minute we decided to hire a private chef for a NYE dinner at the house we were renting. I found Travis on Yelp and he responded right away. Randomly I realized he looked familiar and was married to a friend from my youth!! The food was fantastic and they came early to set up while we were still at the game. We had babysitters wrangling 8 kids and the chef was unbothered while making his masterpieces. The cleanup was incredible and the service was impeccable. We just need to come back to have them cook for us again! If you're local to Scottsdale don't sleep on the Twisted Tines!!!"
"I was in kind of a fix because my past caterer has started a restaurant and everyone I knew was busy. I was expecting 80 guests. I found good reviews for The Phoenix Palate and decided to take a chance. It worked out better than I expected.Alexis was easy to work with and the two chefs and three servers she sent were great. They were friendly, competent and showed up on time. The food itself was tasty and guests loved it. Alexis's menu has lots of interesting appetizers and her prices are reasonable.I would hire The Phoenix Palate again and I recommend Alexis without hesitation."
"I hired Chef Tre for my son's birthday party. And I have to say, best party ever!!! From all the different food options made available, to the outdoor movie theater set up, and to the clean up they provided once finished, it was absolutely amazing!! The burgers were a hit, and I need more of the chicken wontons she served. Her staff was friendly and very helpful. Such a great time was had. And as a friend said "this is the fanciest kid's party I've ever been to." Win!!"
"AMAZING food, incredible service and women-owned! Can not recommend Jennifer and her team more highly! They make delicious AND healthy food (must try stuffed mushroom caps and the salsa chicken)!"
"What an experience, I don't know where to start. We have had Chef Michael over twice now and it has been nothing short of amazing!! So courteous of your space, friendly, accommodating and just a fun person! He has always gone along with the flow and I can't thank him and his team enough! I can't wait until next time!"
"Went to an event today and was pleasantly surprised to have such yummy tastings catered by Chef TJ. He was so friendly and personable and even showed me the inside of his food truck! Now let me talk about his food! Short rib and polenta cakes- red wine braised short ribs on a pan seared polenta cake- oh my these were so flavorful and tender and the polenta cake consistency was just perfect. I kept going back for these.Grilled chicken teriyaki skewers- marinated perfectly with just the right amount of sweetness. Most chicken teriyaki is too sweet for me but these were done right! Bruschetta bar had all the fixings- tomato, basil and fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, burrata cheese, roasted garlic (this was my fave), blistered tomatoes, strawberry, fig goat cheese and pepper jam. Really loved all the food and the chef! Highly recommend if you need catering for any events."
"Had a wonderful experience working with Chef Steve, I love the company professionalism. They took their time to get to know our winery and our wines and what we want to bring to our customers. The food was delicious, we had a barbecue with pulled pork sliders, coleslaw, potato salad (my personal favorite) and beans, our customers loved it very much. We look forward to working in future events!!"
"Andy was amazing. He hosted 8 of us for my brothers bachelor party and it couldn't have been better. His communication, the food and everything he did was perfect. His pricing was very reasonable as well and he gave great consideration to the particulars of our group. Highly suggest him for any event."
"Chef Nate is THE chef of choice for any special celebration in Scottsdale. The booking process was easy and he and his team was very responsive. The meal was catered to our food sensitivities (thank you!!). Food was delicious and the cadence of the whole evening was flexible as one of our girl's flight got delayed - so the extra time was much appreciated! Chef Nate was punctual, professional, communicative and exactly what we were hoping to get for our wonderful night in. Can't think of a possible outcome than what we received. Thank you so much!"
"What an amazing experience private chef Nick brought to a private retreat I recently attended. All of his meals were thoughtful and the quality excellent! We loved the fact that he came fully prepared and fit our schedule perfectly. He was able to accommodate our packed daily schedule, providing three meals a day and took care of all set up and clean up after each meal. His attitude and professionalism were on point as well. I will be recommending Chef Nick with confidence. Thank you Chef Nick!"
"Do not hesitate booking a dinner party or a pool side service with Tory and James! The food was out of this world , our poolside drinks were served to us in fresh pineapples and coconuts and they even added little extra touches with fresh flowers to the table! Love them!!!!"
"Chef Rafael provided an outstanding evening for my wife and I. He was very communicative and punctual. He prepared an AMAZING 5 course meal for us and gave us flexibility in menu options. He was very kind and respectful in serving us while we had violinists playing for our anniversary so as to not disrupt. I would highly recommend Fusionary Eats to anyone!"
"I had a wonderful time with Ms. C the food was simply amazing. The vegan meatloaf was really good. You couldn't tell it was vegan"
"A cooking class with Janette was the perfect date night anniversary gift for my husband. She was able to cater to food allergies and preferences, taught knife skills, and introduced us to some delicious new flavors. We were able to make and enjoy two dishes, including pad thai and penang coconut curry. The food was delicious, and she made this an all-around fun experience. She even did all of the set up and cleaning! I would highly recommend Janette for a personalized cooking class!"
"Chef Rodolfo has catered numerous events and parties for our family and friends. Always top notch food, ingredients and cheerful staff. We would recommend him over and over again without hesitation."
"She is, by far, the best personal chef we have ever used. She knows her food, and not only cooks it to perfection, but she can offer you whatever you want. If you have a receipe or food you have had elsewhere, she will prepare it for you. We have a friend who is a diabetic, and she prepared all the foods designed for him. Wether it is a dinner for two or a party for 200, she can and has done it. You will not be sorry to use her expertise!!"
"Great service for any budget! Rob and his team created a fabulous feast for our daughter's wedding; we had 120 guests and he helped us by offering delicious options that both looked wonderful , and fit within our budget. Our guests enjoyed appetizers followed by a plentiful buffet of pastas with several sauces, chicken , steamed veggies, etc.Whether you want exotic or basic , Chef Phoenix is your ticket!"
"Chef Ron's food is amazing!!The portions are perfect and everything we've had has been top notch!You always wonder how "meal prep" food reheats, but we have to eat one as soon as it gets here and the last one tastes just as good as the first!Try it out, you won't be disappointed!!"
"When our schedules get nuts, we hire Chef Heather every now and then to prepare our weekly meals. She asks what we feel like, then does the shopping, comes to the house and prepares the meals, and they're there waiting for us when we return from our hectic days. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner in nice glass containers all neatly labeled.If you're on a low fat, low carb, high fat, vegan, fish-only, or you-name-it diet, she can accommodate. She asks for your weekly request and then like magic, there it is.I'm looking forward to the holidays when we can have some dinner parties and have Chef Heather over for the meal preparation, because I know whatever the menu, it will be fantastic."
"I really enjoy grabbing a bite when Bibi's Kitchen does their pop-ups. Bridget Quijano is a local chef who cooks up traditional Salvadoran cuisine. She is available to hire for catering and for meal prepping. But you can also find her all over the Valley partnering with local businesses to serve up some of her delicious meals. She has years of experience working in kitchens and is passionate about sharing Salvadoran food to the Valley. Bibi's serves classics like Pupusas and Pollo Guiesado. I live next to The Sleepy Whale in Chandler where Bibi's Kitchen does a lot of their pop-ups. I love the pupusas here. A pupusa is a grilled handmade flatbread (made from masa dough) that is stuffed with ingredients like pork, beans, and cheese and topped with curtido (cabbage). The tacos here have a nice crispy shell and are awesome too. One thing I notice every time I stop by is that Bridget makes time to chat with her customers. She is very warm and friendly. I have no doubt Bibi's Latin Kitchen will one day have its own permanent location. But for now you can follow @bibis_latin_kitchen on Instagram to find out more information on where they will be next."
"Chef Noon has been preparing weekly meals for my in-laws for the last couple of years. His meals are delicious, wholesome and thoughtfully prepared and he has been a huge help to our family! He always takes our dietary needs and preferences into account, while making a wide variety of tasty meals. Last time I was in town, I had the pleasure of meeting him and seeing him work in person. What an impressive operation and what a truly nice guy! I'm so grateful that our family found Chef Noon!"
"I had an excellent experience with Chef Porchalyn of FyneChyna Cuisine.She is an excellent cook, very professional. Her food presentation is always on point. You have got to try her lamb chops and my favorite side dish Mac and cheese. Her decorations are always beautiful.Chef Porchalyn also does special event upon request: Baby showers, birthday, weddings, etc. Please check out her website."
"Hosted a birthday dinner at home for #13pp. The team at Cuisine Prive was excellent from the initial information and menu offerings (with Adrianna), through to the prompt arrival (Randal and Sandra), the cocktail hour and table service, and their exit with a completely clean kitchen. The food is excellent. I highly recommend Cuisine Prive for a special home dinner in the comfort of your home."
