Thank you to our amazing clients and friends for your support & kind words!

I have had the opportunity to work with caterers. That said, I am beyond impressed with Chef Adair and the team. We began with one plan, had to pivot and then pivot again. Chef's team was flexible, kind and very quick to respond. Then on the day of the event, I was so so pleased. They delivered more than I could have ever hoped or asked for. The guests raved about the food and service. I will only go back to them again and again. (Katie K., Google Reviews, 2024)

They did an amazing job! Made my 50th birthday very memorable. They were very accommodating with the menu and the food was awesome. They do everything, from the setup, cooking, serving, and cleanup. Top notch and highly recommended!!

The entire experience was surreal and absolutely fabulous!! Our guests commented on the exceptional food and service (and I received several follow-up texts the next day saying how amazing an experience it was). Thank you for making such a special day even more memorable. I will definitely be using Chef Adair again!!!

We hired Chef Adair's team to cook a private dinner for 9 at our Airbnb in Sonoma and it was the most amazing experience. Chef Nancy was an absolute delight and her food was incredible! She and Elizabeth had the most spectacular service and were so lovely to spend our evening with. I would highly recommend Chef Adair to anyone in the area looking for a relaxing evening with unforgettable food!
We hired Chef Adair for a birthday dinner party while visiting Napa. Chef Adair and his team were AMAZING from start to finish! The team was easy to work with on menu selections and suggestions. And then...WOW! The night of our dinner party the menu and service were top notch. I can not say enough good things about Chef Adair, the quality of food, the friendly staff and excellent service that he and his team provided. Our group was still talking about the amazing food and experience on our way back home to Charlotte from Napa. I would highly recommend Chef Adair! (Michelle, 2022)

All we can say is WOW! Chef Adair was the chef for our 100 person wedding (a) Winery last weekend and we cannot say enough good things about the experience. He was professional to work with throughout, and he was very conscious of our budget and made sure he stayed within it(...)We worked together to design the menu and he was open to listening to our requests for different food items (...) Chef's entire team (Chef, 10 servers, a sous-chef, 3 bartenders, an event coordinator, and a few more) were a pure joy to interact with. Everyone was so professional. We'd recommend chef a million times over. Thank you so much Chef!
It was UNREAL. Our chef and server were incredible. We went out for dinner in Napa the night before, spent DOUBLE, and it was not nearly as good. Amazing menu and would DEFINITELY let them cook for us again. Could not recommend enough!! - Chris B., Napa,Ca. 2022

​It's truly a breath of fresh air to work with Chef Adair and his team-- we love them! Chef Adair has created beautiful, multi-course menus for our intimate weddings and cave dinners, delivering unforgettable dining experiences for our guests. The food is exquisite in flavor and presentation. His staff is the best of the best-- professional, detailed, friendly, warm, gracious, and beyond helpful. We always look forward to having them here and know any event they're involved in will be seamless. (Hans Fahden Winery, 2019)
Wonderful experience! We hired Chef Adair for my fiancé's 60th birthday dinner party and had a wonderful time! Chef Adair and his assistants Hannah and Brenda were talented, professional, accommodating and incredibly kind! Everyone loved the beautiful presentations, fantastic flavors and his professional descriptions of each course. They also cleaned up and left my kitchen as if they had never even cooked it in! It was a most memorable delightful, relaxing and fun evening. I would highly recommend him for any party you have. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Chef Adair, Hannah and Brenda and for job well done. We will see you again! - (Ena D., 2022)

Thank you Chef Adair and your entire team for making our dinner party of 10 a memorable one for my wife and our guests.  —  Robert W.

Chef Adair (&Co.) did an absolutely beautiful job catering the food for my June wedding 2021 at Hans Fahden Winery. He has got wedding catering mastered! Everything was just perfect! And he made everything so easy, and was very accommodating and flexible, (...) The food was absolutely delicious, the presentation was gorgeous and the service and wait staff were incredibly professional. They timed the 4 courses perfectly, and everyone’s plates were hot and served at just the right moment. Everyone raves about the food and the service. My husband’s dad said the salmon was the best salmon he’s ever had in his life, and he’s 96 years old! I recommend Chef Adair whole-heartedly. Of all the people we worked with in planning our wedding, he was the easiest and most responsive...and far exceeded our expectations!

Chef Adair took care of all the details after listening and understanding all we wanted. Our small wedding dinner party (22) were very impressed with the fantastic meal and with the presentation. The chief made it a memorable event and I highly recommend him for all your special occasions. - Cliff (Petaluma, ca.)

​8/28/2020 | Sonoma Wedding Party.My best friend hired chef Adair for her wedding and it was the best thing she could have done!! The food was incredible. One dish after the other, it was just incredible! Also the service, impeccable! Highly highly recommend!!!! - Mijal R.

​8/9/2017: Chef Adair made the most amazing 5 course meal right in our kitchen while visiting the wine country. Felt like we were with old friends. Would highly recommend the experience! - Meghan H., Jacksonville, FL.
​"Amazing amazing chef!!!The food could not have been better at any three star Michelin restaurant. The service was impeccable and from beginning to end he was fabulous. Could not recommend him more highly. Will definitely use him again and again!!" (Arsine P., Sonoma 9/2020, Yelp)
​Words can't describe Chef Adair's expertise in food and wine. We had an incredible five-course meal with wine pairings that were on par with the top restaurants in wine country. The beauty of every course was matched by its taste. Chef Adair was incredibly knowledgeable about each of the wines he served. He went into detail about each one and its vineyard, which made the meal even more special. We can't say enough good things about Chef Adair, and look forward to our next celebration!" - Lisa, 2020

My friends and I had the pleasure of having chef Adair prepare us a stunning, intimate meal for 4 at our rented vacation house in Healdsburg, Ca.. Everything was exceptional, from the quality of ingredients to the great, personalized service. The meal itself was truly fantastic, the sauce on the poached lobster dish is a strong contender for the best thing I've ever tasted. He was really easy to work with, and accommodating of some dietary restrictions. He even made extra fresh pasta for the kids, which was very thoughtful. We have plenty of fine dining experience, but never had a private home meal like this before. It was a wonderful experience, and we are looking forward to working with chef Adair again soon!

My husband surprised me with a lovely birthday dinner for two last evening catered in our home by Chef Garrett Adair.
It was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. I can't say enough positive things about our meal and the experience of having Garrett prepare the 5 amazing courses which we devoured with absolute delight. He also selected 3 perfect wines. We often dine out and especially on special occasions but this was a new experience which far surpassed any meal which we could have had at a five star restaurant.

Unbelievable night last night with Chef Adair and his crew at our vineyard. We hosted a company event (11 people) and Chef Adair created a spectacular menu using fresh, local ingredients paired with amazing wines. I cannot recommend his services enough, the quality and professionalism was the best. Thank you Chef Adair, I look forward to the next one!

He created a special menu for our liking, and everything was prepped so beautifully. All 8 of us licked the plates clean! Each of the 4 courses got better as it went on. When Chef Adair left, he left the kitchen even cleaner than when we had arrived! His professionalism and service was incomparable! A must do when in Wine Country .. we look forward to it again soon!

"Meal was amazing.   But before that, he made the process very simple.  Had a discussion about what the event was for, allowed us to ask questions about what he does and the types of foods he works with.  Much of it was locally sourced.  We selected a four course dinner and he threw in an awesome dessert!  We also went with some wine pairings for each course out of his wine club.  Let me tell you everyone loved it.  I can honestly say everything was prepared to perfection (he came out and talked about each course), but I think the favorite were the scallops!   If could've had just those, would've been happy.  But the pulled port was great, the filet cooked quite well.  The service overall was excellent.  Great staff!  If you are looking to do something a little out of the ordinary or splurge a little, he's your guy!!!

​12/10/2017: Chef Adair and his crew made the most amazing dinner for my 40th birthday. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! I love to cook and he went through each dish and gave me tips for cooking. It was so great. Great service, beautiful food and the best I've ever tasted. There's a picture of me licking the bowl from our scallop meal. I can't stop thinking about it. If you have a chance to hire a private chef you can't go wrong with Chef Adair. This experience went above and beyond our expectations. —

Del Dotto Winery - Vacation House, 2/1/2018: 
Chef Adair prepared a private dinner for me, my husband and 4 of our close friends during our stay in Napa.  He was very accommodating when assisting me in planning the menu to ensure that everyone would enjoy what was prepared.  Chef Adair was very kind, has a great sense of humor and was very interactive with our group.  The food was beautifully prepared, the portions were perfect and the flavors were amazing.  We had a lot of laughs, ate really delicious food and had an amazing experience with our friends. - Theresa F.

Hi Chef,
Thanks to you and your team for an amazing evening! I enjoyed talking with you about the wine pairings and your selections were spot on! It was really a great experience to host an event where we could feel like guests as well! I hope we can have you prepare us another feast soon!
