Private Chef Services- Orange County

My wife and I recently had a baby. Being tired and sleep deprived, we decided to order a meal from Eli. Was delivered on the requested time and tasted great. Will definitely recommend to others and order again!!! Thanks Eli and Private Chef Services - Orange County

I'm so glad I found Private Chef Services on Yelp. Chef Elisha provided a delicious meal for my holiday dinner party. He was a good communicator and friendly. He was accommodating with my needs for a menu addressing food allergies and finicky palates. The food was very good and plentiful. Many of my guests had seconds. This is definitely a no brainer for a stress free dinner party. I look forward to more good eats from Chef Elisha and crew.

We hired Elisha for a dinner party at our place with 13 friends and it was a huge success. We do a quarterly dinner as a group and have always done it at a restaurant but having it at our house as such a great idea and Elisha was the perfect chef for it. He was responsive, accommodating, and everything was delicious. Also worth noting he's probably the nicest person I've met all year! The menu we settled on consisted of --* Seasonal Green Veggie Salad with Lemon Herb Dressing* Braised White Wine Chicken over quinoa* Seared Ahi Tuna over Arugula* French Cut Pork Chop over Sweet Potato Mash* Charred Broccolini* Traditional Cheesecake--If you're in the market for a chef, I'd highly recommend Elisha and we will definitely be hiring him again.

We just used Eli's services for a luncheon and a dinner. The food was great, he was prompt, friendly easy going personality...overall a huge win and I highly recommend him.

Chef Elijah is phenomenal to work with for the following reasons:1. Highly responsive: From the moment I sent him a message on Yelp requesting for his services 5 days out, he responded very quickly and made the process super simple and easy. 2. Professional: Upon arriving at our home, he was very professional and handled everything with care. He's also very charismatic and has a great attitude. 3. Great Tasting Menu: I requested a special cheese plate and gave him a few types of cheese we like. He brought a variety of cheeses that were SPOT ON. Even our guests couldn't stop raving about his cheese selection and knowledge about cheese. 4. Delicious Food and Presentation: Wow. Just wow! Our guests and I were really impressed with the food -- from the beet salad to the short ribs and especially the butterscotch cake. We were all so pleasantly stuffed. We had such a wonderful experience with Chef Elijah. We look forward to having him again in the future.

Chef Eli and his team prepared an amazing feast for our very intimate company party. We are a family and Eli and the women felt immediately a part of. The food was impeccable (as foodies we have very high expectations), the service was effortless, the cleanup was thorough and complete, and the crew was present but not overbearing. We truly could not have asked for more and every one of our staff was raving the night of and every day since.This was the BEST decision we could have made and would not hesitate for a second to have them come again.

Okay I don't even know where to begin! We were the lucky couple that was able to reserve Chef Eli and his assistant for Valentine's Day! They cooked us an elaborate meal that was to die for! On top of that they were on time, super personable, and really made the whole meal a wonderful experience. I can honestly say it was my favorite meal and dining experience. Never had better. 10 stars if we could! They were truly a blessing to us!!

It was my first time hiring a private chef to prepare a special celebratory meal including four couples. Chef Eli far exceeded all of my expectations from deciding on and executing on the menu. One of the most stressful things when entertaining guests is figuring out how to cook, time everything right, and entertain at the same time. Chef Eli and his assistant made sure we could all focus on having an incredible evening with our friends. Pictures speak louder than words and this picture of the surf and turf entree really says it all! Thank you so much Chef Eli for making our celebration an evening we will always remember.

I cannot say enough about Chef Eli and his staff. They made our 10th anniversary dinner in our home a memorable event. I loved that I was able to plan the menu based on my dietary needs. The presentation was gorgeous. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was, especially the desert. If you are considering having a chef prepared event- Chef Eli is your man! Thank you again!

Chef Eli was great and would definitely recommend if you're looking for private chef. We hired him for bachelor party out in Lake Matthews and had the best meal. We went for the surf and turf and the lobster was one was the best lobsters we've had. The sides and appetizers were awesome too. He was very quick to respond and very professional during the event.
