Chef Tong was fabulous! His food was amazing and he was fun! He also left us with nothing to do! It was a wedding gift.

We had Chef Chris cook us a meal celebrating our 40th anniversary. This was given to us as a gift from our children. It was so much fun. Chris was so professional, and the food and presentation of each course was unbelievable. It was a wonderful and memorable experience!

Our chef was prompt, friendly and paid attention to detail. The meal he prepared was absolutely delicious. It was a pleasure to have him in our home. We could not have asked for a better evening. I look forward to doing this again.
