For my husband’s birthday, we had Chef Matthew Alexander and his amazing team cook a private dinner at our home—and it was unforgettable! We did bites and a coursed out meal, and everything was incredible, especially the sour coconut broth with basil oil and scallop 😍 and the tuna tartare sticky rice! The chef and staff made it so easy—we didn’t have to lift a finger. They guided us through each course, explaining how to taste and experience all the flavors. Even our picky eaters (we had a few) loved everything! It was our first time having a private chef, and it was such an amazing birthday experience. We will definitely be reaching out to them again

Private Chef Matthew Alexander made my 60th birthday celebration at home truly unforgettable. We were a party of 10, and from start to finish, the experience was flawless. The six-course menu was Michelin-star quality—exceptionally creative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. What made the evening even more special was that the menu was served “blind,” so we didn’t know what we were eating. After we finished each course, Chef Matthew addressed the group to explain the dish, his inspiration, and how it was prepared, and he welcomed our feedback. It made the entire evening interactive, engaging, and incredibly fun. Matthew and his team of three were professional, attentive, and seamless throughout the night. The level of service perfectly matched the extraordinary cuisine, and every detail was handled with care and precision. You could truly taste the heart and soul he pours into his craft. My guests were thrilled and couldn’t stop complimenting both the food and the unique experience. I couldn’t have asked for a more memorable way to celebrate such a milestone birthday.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Chef Matthew Alexander, along with Mary and Dom, for a private sit-down lunch celebrating my mom’s 60th birthday and I genuinely cannot say enough good things. From the very beginning, Chef Matt was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly collaborative in helping us shape a menu that felt both special and perfectly suited to our home and guests. On the day of the event, he executed everything flawlessly. The food was outstanding. Beautifully prepared, perfectly timed, and high quality in every sense. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious everything was. Mary was phenomenal. Warm, polished, attentive, and completely effortless in the room. She struck the perfect balance of being present without ever being intrusive, and she made every guest, including our toddler, feel cared for and comfortable. Her service elevated the entire experience. Dom was equally fantastic. Calm, efficient, and clearly an integral part of the team. The kitchen ran like clockwork, and the level of organization and professionalism was obvious. Together, they created an experience that felt seamless, relaxed, and incredibly special. Our home was left spotless, the flow of the lunch was perfect, and we were able to truly enjoy the celebration without worrying about a single detail. If you’re considering a private chef experience, stop looking. Chef Matt and his team are exceptional, and we would hire them again without hesitation.

We booked private chef Matthew and his team for a Michelin-level experience for my mom’s 60th birthday, and it exceeded every expectation. The food was truly top tier, each course was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Chef Matthew was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. The team was incredibly helpful from start to finish, making the entire evening feel effortless. We did the 4 course option and there was plenty of food, most of us struggling to finish! Everything ran smoothly, and they even left the kitchen spotless at the end of the night. My whole family is still raving about it! I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone looking for something special and unforgettable.

Chef Matthew Alexander’s menu exceeded expectations in every way possible. This was the best experience and most incredible and memorable food that I, and the 5 other people, had ever had in our lives. I could not believe the level of expertise, the many notes he captured in each dish, and his attention to detail. If you are wondering, is this the chef to go with- the answer is undoubtedly YES. He surpasses what you would expect from any Michelin menu. His duck leg confit with a’ lorange sauce and chocolate foam had a crispy skin, fell off the bone and, simply put- made it where no duck will ever compare. He is a true artist. This is not someone who simply will come and cook for you, he brings a story, a fine dining experience, and an art and love for food as worthy of praise as a Julia Child. He will change what you think is possible when you imagine the best food you have ever had in your life. Nothing will ever top this.

Chef Matthew was incredible and made our first experience with a private chef a memorable one. His culinary talent impressed us with each of our five courses. And considering how selective I am, I was extra impressed. Chef Matthew is not only a great chef, but his natural ease in the kitchen and level of engagement with us only added to the experience. I highly recommend and will absolutely book again.

An Unforgettable Private Dining Experience with Chef Matthew I hired Chef Matthew for a private dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. Chef Matthew arrived on time with two assistants, and together they delivered not only an exceptional meal, but also top-tier hospitality. The entire team was professional, courteous, and made every guest feel welcomed and well taken care of. Chef Matthew took the time to introduce each course, sharing the inspiration behind the dishes and his thoughtful ingredient choices. It added such a personal and engaging touch to the evening — like having a private culinary show in our own home! Now let’s talk about the food — absolutely incredible. Every dish was perfectly balanced, full of depth, and cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich yet refined, and every bite felt like a celebration of quality ingredients and expert technique. Our unforgettable menu: Course One: Pickled beet salad — bright, fresh, and beautifully plated. Course Two: Pasta with smoked kielbasa and veal Bolognese — rich, smoky, and comforting. Course Three: Veal shank with port wine and vegetable polenta — fall-off-the-bone tender and deeply flavorful. Course Four (Dessert): Homemade candied butter pecan ice cream with apple blossoms and warm maple syrup — pure heaven and the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Chef Matthew turned a special evening into an extraordinary one. If you're considering hiring a private chef for any event, look no further. I highly recommend Chef Matthew for any in-home gathering or event space — his talent, professionalism, and warmth truly set him apart. He is simply the best!
