John's special events and private dinners were always a first class experience

John was a valuable asset in onboarding our chefs for the new role and in the company.

John is a fantastic and creative chef.

Whenever I needed to impress, really impress a client or my wife I would call on John's talents to fit the occasion.

John has always surprised us with a fantastic dinner whenever we eat at his restaurant. His creativity, attention to detail and passion for organic, locally grown food made us come back over and over.
