This was my 2nd time using Table at Home and it did not disappoint. Chef Atiya was truly wonderful throughout the whole process. She Was extremely professional and also very personable. Each course was excellent, my favorite was the curry crab soup! Literally everything was cooked with the perfect flavors and tenderness. Thanks Chef Atiya for making our anniversary dinner a memorable one.

Chef Shawn cooked for a family birthday party and it was delicious! He was fantastic and all of the guests could not stop talking about the food and awesome service. Table at Home was a great service that made finding a private chef a breeze and I would highly recommend using them.

We had the best experience with Chef Sunny who we booked through Table at Home. The booking experience was seamless, and working with Chef Sunny leading up to the night of our dinner was a true pleasure. He was incredibly thoughtful, detailed, communicative, friendly - and the food was exquisite. My husband and I can’t stop talking about it. Highly recommend!

The full turn key experience provided by Chef Ben was outstanding. From working with me on several iterations to the menu, accommodating my ask for printed menus for our guests to promptly responding to all my emails.I was very impressed with the presentation and taste of each dish he served. Our meal included appetizers, salad, 2 main courses and 2 desserts. Each better than the next dish.It was such a treat, to be out of the kitchen and enjoy the company of our guests, with the extra win-win bonus of a clean and tidy kitchen at the end of the evening!Service received was first class – and the thought and attention beforehand was amazing. Thank you again for your hard work, Chef. Your food definitely contributed greatly to the success of our party.

Chef Alessandro is an amazing chef and beyond that, an interesting person that is easy to talk too. He was very communicative before the event letting us know his time of arrival and also showing us a picture preview of the lovely ravioli that he made for us earlier in the day! Upon arrival he took off and changed shoes (which was appreciated due to the wet weather outside) and changed into professional chef attire. He was extremely organized and made a 4 course dinner for two look like a breeze. He was comfortable cooking in front of us and chatted with us when engaged. He was professional and kind throughout the evening- even snapping some pictures for us. The food was wonderful! We will invite Chef Alessandro back again to share this experience with our friends!

Chef Vasily was wonderful. He created a beautiful and delicious 4 course meal for 18 people that was perfect for a special birthday dinner. I at first was overwhelmed trying to figure out how to find and hire a chef for this gathering. But Table at Home made everything so easy - from requesting proposals to making decisions to setting the budget and finalizing the logistics. I will definitely use them again.

I can't say enough good things about this company. I waited until the last minute to plan a birthday dinner at home for my mother, and the process of finding a chef was so easy through Table at Home. Chef Cashimiere made the most outstanding and delectable meal for us and was able to accommodate all of our needs. We couldn't have asked for a better scenario. I highly recommend!

Our experience with Table at Home was wonderful. It was a seamless experience from start to finish. We had multiple offers at first based on what we indicated we were looking for (a nice family dinner to honor a loved one). Chef Kyle could not have been better. He worked with us on creating our ideal menu and was great about communicating the entire time. Day of he arrived promptly on time and delivered the experience we were hoping and needing. It was really nice having a professional prepare such a wonderful meal. Highly recommend!

We hired Chef Nicole for a cooking class. Theme: French. We had a great time. Nicole was very nice and friendly. She even brought me flowers. She was very accomodating to some last minute changes we made to the menu. Her food was delicious. Good quality ingredients. Almost everything she brought was organic. I was especially looking forward to learning to make Grand Marnier Souffle with the sauce and it turned out perfect! She made the class interactive and I will definitly be making the new recipies she taught. Thank you Chef Nicole!

After trying to use a couple of Personal Chef services, finally landed on Table at Home and couldn't have been happier with the end result. I, we ended up working with Chef Meg and she was fantastic...she was flexible with the menu and provided a Chef's Table kind of experience, exactly what we wanted. She was also very enthusiastic and entertaining 🤣.

I must say, this was a fantastic way to throw a dinner party! All we had to do was tidy the house and set the table for 8 people. Our chef Meg was fabulous. She started the evening with shrimp tempura amuse bouche, followed by a caprese salad, halibut or filet mignon and ended it with the best crème brûlée I’ve ever had. Both entrees were delicious. I decided to get a helper for her so I could sit with the guests the entire time.Meg and Sonia were very professional and friendly. I highly recommend Meg and thank her for helping me create an elegant and delicious experience for my partner’s birthday party.

Absolutely FANTASTIC. This business is everything you could imagine and more. Within 5 minutes of posting we had three responses with diverse menus that fit the cuisine we were looking for. We went with Chef Vera (the BEST) and never looked back. She sourced the freshest ingredients - shrimp, veal, vegetables - and everything was cooked to perfection. Aside from the food, Chef Vera was a genuine delight to have in our home. She was the sweetest person and so great to our kids. We will 100% be using this service again.

Chef Nick made my husbands 40th birthday AMAZING. Initially I chose a different chef website that I would never use again. Take a chef was easy, reliable and cut and dry. From the first time speaking to chef Nick he was a true gentleman and an absolute pleasure to work with. He made an elote tostada for appetizer that was BY FAR the best we’ve ever had. Carnitas tacos for dinner with the freshest ingredients and the flavors were unreal. For dessert he made a lemon tart with confit cherries. Can’t wait for Chef Nick to come again. Incredible experience!
