Chef Greg was awesome! The menu was delicious and he even made a couple additional items that were mouth watering! The Diablo shrimp and turkey bolognese for me! Plus he cleaned my kitchen better than I do! 11/10 would recommend :)

We had a wonderful evening with Chef Greg. Great communication from beginning to end. He called the day before to confirm, he was punctual, and explained what he was preparing throughout. We learned how to make several delicious dishes. The pepper steak had so much flavor! Bananas foster for dessert .. yum! If you looking for a way to bring some fun to a night at home, book Chef Greg.
