FAQ

Client Reviews

  • "I used Mise En Place this past weekend and the event was flawless: the chef was incredible (personable, professional, responsive and kind), the food was spectacular and better than any Tapas restaurant I have been to (we did a Spanish tapas and paella party) and all of the details were handled professionally and quickly by the owner, Dan. In preparation for the meal, Dan suggested different websites to pick the type of food that I wanted and he communicated clearly and quickly. Not one detail was other than we had discussed. I will use this service for my next dinner party."

  • "Phenomenal is really all I can say! From planning to service to execution everything was perfect. We hired Mise en Place to cater my 35th birthday dinner and it was so so easy and seamless to work with them. We had an absolutely fabulous time. The food was not only 5 star quality, but the chefs were kind, safe and so easy to work with. Really couldn't have asked for a better birthday and we'll definitely be using them again!"

  • "I have worked with Dan on multiple dinner parties from 4-12 guests at my home. Each one has been spectacular! Dan is very responsive and reliable and has superb taste. The experience with Mise En Place is far above any experience I've had with private chefs. Dan's process makes it easy to work together with clear pricing upfront. The chef always comes organized and prepared, leaves my kitchen spotless and my guests wowed! Thank you, Dan!"
