| - We decided to host our engagement/my birthday party at home and wanted someone to come in and do what I call the heavy-lifting. We wanted to enjoy our party and not think about the work involved to feed 100ish people, fill the coolers, and chase down empties.
We contacted Chef Michael and explained our vision and immediately received a proposal with a stellar menu and all the notes that met our needs: staffing for the food, bussing, bartending... the works!
I was excited leading up to the party, and I can tell you that we were blown away by the professionalism, knowledge, affability of the staff and genuine care for their guests. Fully self-contained and beautifully crafted displays, bar, furnishings, everything. They came to the house and looked at the spaces and made an easy-flowing, guest-centric setup that could not be beat.
The food was fresh and tasty, and every care was taken to gauge the crowd and their tastes; the dishes were rotated regularly and were set up by stations.
The variety was surprisingly broad considering the work that it takes to manage so much: beautifully grilled Chianti skirt steak, sous-vide salmon filets, the juiciest chicken, and all with the freshest veg and orzo and salad.
These folks were with us for 10 hours and never faltered. Gracious and hard-working until the very end. They also filled our patio coolers with drinks and left us with perfectly packaged leftovers!
Chef, thank you! We're already looking forward to the next time!
