The food was delicious and abundant! We finished the night quite full and very satisfied. Perhaps our favorite part was the dessert. Not usually a huge pound cake fan, but this is not a usual pound cake - don't let your image of pound cake fool you! Chef Tre brought everything with him, so no need to even have plates or silverware. And when he left, we discovered some remaining risotto that he left for us so we could continue enjoying the experience days later. Thank you so much, Chef Tre!

Chef Tre created a perfect surprise birthday dinner for my fiancé and our friends. He brought everything (cooking utensils, food, dishes, silverware) and left our kitchen absolutely spotless. He also brought along customized printed surf and turf menus for each place which was a nice touch. I reached out ahead of time and he was happy to make amendments to the menu, accommodating one friend who is pescatarian and amending the salad course to our preferences. He also provided general drink recommendations for each course. During the evening, he also asked us each how we wanted our filet prepared – all in all a really unique and detail-oriented experience. We ended up starting later than I anticipated, in part because of my own confusion about the start vs arrival time and then because we were taking our time enjoying the meal. Chef Tre did not rush us at all! All of my guests were amazed. Would hire him again for future events in a heartbeat!

Chef Tre was amazing! His surf and turf menu was so delicious! He was very professional and it was great hearing about the culinary world from a chef's perspective, all while eating amazing food. He came completely prepared with everything he needed. All you have to do is put on some good music and relax with some drinks until the first course comes to your table. And he left our kitchen cleaner than he found it! True pro....100% recommend.

Chef Tre’s meal was fantastic and it was such a nice treat for an at-home date night. He arrived with everything he needed and cleaned up our kitchen to be spotless afterwards. We loved the sweet corn risotto and carrot purée. He was happy to answer our questions about how things were made, which added to the overall experience. Would 100% recommend booking with him.

Book Chef Tre today! My 30th birthday dinner was beautiful and delicious. He was so accommodating to the vegetarian in my group and packed up leftovers for us. The presentation and professionalism was top notch. I'm so happy I chose him and I'm still thinking about the Italian dinner he cooked months later lol.

Chef Tre was AWESOME! Even before our event, he was so communicative and accommodating - even creating a special menu for one of my friends who was vegan! Each dish was better than the other and we had such a wonderful time! I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you!!

I had the honor to experience Chef Tre's fine dining creativity and it was perfect. The food was delicious, flavorful, and delicate. He was so professional from start to finish. I would recommend Chef Tre for any and all events in the future. I can't wait for my next private chef experience with him. One of the best chefs I've came across in a while.
