I've used Dining In Style twice now, and Malissa always hits it out of the park! Her menu choices are extensive, and cater to any dietary preference. She's on time and professional. Besides the delicious courses that she prepares, she leaves your kitchen cleaner than when she arrived, giving you time to enjoy your guests.

Mallisa is not only an excellent chef, but a great communicator which is so important when you're arranging a private dinner. She is wonderful to work with at every step. Mallisa is always accommodating to every request and modification. I highly recommend her and would love to have her cook for us again.

We had an amazing experience with Dining in Style. Chef Malissa worked with me on very short notice to make my parents anniversary dinner a night to remember (I basically contacted her 24 hours in advance and she made it happen!). The food was well thought out and tasted excellent. She also made wonderful alterations so my young children could join in on the fun with us. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely use her again someday.

All I can say about Malissa is "Wow" her food is amazing! She is always willing to accommodate any special requests. I have had a few of her dinners and she knocks it out of the park every time. I can't wait till our next dinner.

Chef Malissa and her staff made an amazing meal for our 30th anniversary. Malissa designed a menu that matched our tastes. All of the food was prepared fresh in our home and served impeccably. The meal was planned weeks in advance, but with less than 24 hours before the dinner, we had to change venues from Redlands to Riverside. Chef Malissa handled the change with no problems. I am looking forward to working with her again.

I would like to add to my previous review that once I had set the menu and times, I no longer had to think about the food for the party. Chef Malissa took care of everything. It was quite a relief to know there would be plenty of food and I didn't need to handle any of the details.

We used Malissa for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner in Lake Arrowhead. They wanted a more intimate setting than a restaurant and Dining in Style was perfect. We had 25 people and Malissa came to our cabin and fixed a delicious meal consisting of a salad, Salmon, shrimp, pastas and veggies. She also provided options for our gluten free and vegan guest too! Oh, and let us not forget an incredible gluten-free peach raspberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream for dessert! Malissa and her staff were prompt, helpful and cleaned up good. I would highly recommend Dining in Style.
