 What People Are Saying!


Hi Elyse,

My son Cameron, and I are so thrilled with all that you and your assistant...(sorry I forgot her name) cooked up for us.  Really we are soooooo happy with you and the love, care, expertise with which you two created our nurturing meals.

What a wonderful treat!

Elyse I will keep you in mind and tell everyone I know who may be looking for a cook about you!

Have a wonderful new year!

Sincerely,

Ariah



 Holiday Party!


Hi Elyse,
 
We want to thank you for the amazing party last night.  You all worked so hard to make everything perfect and it was.  The food was great and your and your crew are so professional.  We are truly impressed. Hope we didn't keep you too long last night.  After so many hours of prep, surely your were all very tired last night.
 
Thank you again.  If you ever need a reference for a client, please let us know. Take care and hope to see you again soon.

A Special Birthday


I wouldn't consider hiring anyone else!  I gave you rave reviews to Brad so he'd put you at the top of the recommended caterer list

Elyse

Thank you again and it was a great night. The food was excellent and happy to recommend you to others!  One of our favorite meals in Napa!

50th Birthday Celebration!


Oh, Elyse . . . how can I begin to thank you??  As I think I mentioned, I have never used a caterer personally (although I have planned many large scale events and used them for work) but you far exceeded every expectation I had.  Everyone, and I mean everyone, raved about the appetizers, the salad, the bread and most of all, the main course.  Your staff was wonderful and you are absolutely delightful to work with.  You made my birthday party sheer perfection!

 

Thank you again and I promise this will not be the last time we see you!!!

Wine Pairing In Napa


Elyse,

 

Thank you so much for cooking us a delicious meal while we stayed in Napa.  Every course paired perfectly with our wines, and all of the food was cooked to perfection.  We especially liked the spicy and creamy contrast in the shrimp and grits and the tenderness and seasoning of the lamb.  After traveling all day, it was so nice to come home to a warm meal.  You did exactly what we asked for, and managed to put a nice flair that articulated your style of cooking: comfort food with a modern twist. 

 

We enjoyed the meal and your professionalism very much, and will certainly recommend you to others we know who will be making future visits to the region.  Furthermore, we hope you will consider cooking for us again upon our return next year. 

 

Thank you again so much!

 After An Open House For Fifty

 

Thank you so much Elyse.  The only problem I had…I didn’t get the chance to thank you personally before you and your team left. 

You guys did a wonderful job – especially as we started to run late, you paced everything beautifully.

As you know, it is really important to me to try to set up a good environment for people to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves, it is hard for me to imagine how you could have done a better job.

We will look forward to the next time.

Thanks again,

Martyn.
