"Everything was amazing! The food was out of this world, the servers were wonderful, so professional. Everything went perfect. When they left, the kitchen was cleaner than when they arrived! Everyone was raving about the food, it was wonderful. My step-mother always works so hard at these parties and never gets to enjoy herself. It was wonderful to see her just visiting and relaxed all night long...it was perfect!"

"Our anniversary celebration dinner was a huge success. A great many people have told me how much they enjoyed the dinner on Sunday, it was not only delicious, but they were impressed that it arrived hot as there were so many people to be served. Our compliments to Chef Dave. In addition, I received several comments on the friendliness of the servers and their willingness to be helpful when anyone needed more water, coffee, etc. A huge thank you to you and Chef Dave for your helpfulness to me in answering my many questions and your willingness to make changes to our many calls at the last minute. Last but not least thank you for coming Monday to help finish washing the dishes. We enjoyed your company as well as your help."

"I just want to let you know that everything you said about the food, the presentation, the efficiency of Chef by Request and Mike is true. Everyone was raving about the food, and I will definitely get some cards to pass out. I can't say enough good about Mike. He jumped in, even a little earlier than 7:00, worked the whole time doing everything including the set up, the bar, the dishes, taking plates away... All the women wanted to take him home with them. He has a wonderful manner. I'm very excited about your company and can't wait to have another party. Oh yes, the cake was amazing too. You'll have to see the pictures. Anyway, I can't thank you enough for all your help and encouragement. It was a a wonderful success, thanks to you, Mike and Chef By Request. Ella was also very efficient and Katie couldn't have been nicer and more helpful."
