Eric and his excellent staff served our dinner party of 13 last week in Scottsdale. We had the crab cake app, roasted beet salad, coffee and ancho rubbed Ribeye, with Mac and cheese and broccolini as our sides. Everything was phenomenal and then meticulously cleaned up afterwards.

From the moment Chef Eric James walked into our Airbnb, I knew our group was in great hands. He was warm, friendly, and professional throughout the entire evening, and his sous chef, Shanni, was an absolute delight as well.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.
Our first experience with Chef Eric was a dinner party for 10. We were so impressed we had him do two big family Christmas dinners that were amazing. He offered up some great suggestions for menu ideas. Our family and friends raved about his food. We look forward to enjoying his fabulous culinary skills for years to come.

The staff was so kind & just all around awesome! The food was amazing! Sliders, tuna tartare, carpaccio, chicken tacos, just to name a few were a huge hit with every single person at the party!

He and his supporting staff of two helpers arrived on time. The helpers provided excellent table service with style, grace, and professionalism. Chef Eric prepared the food in our kitchen and came to the table to describe each menu item in detail as it was being served.
