...Continued reviews from our gracious clients.
8/7/2017I don't know where to begin Chef Adair catered a dinner for us four years ago while we were visiting in Napa. The food was absolutely amazing and the service impeccable. The experience was something you can't describe, he offered wine pairing for each course served and it was just mind blowing. We have gone back to visit Napa every year since with the exception of this year, each time we have gone back we had made it a point to have Chef Adair cater our last night in the area with a five course meal and wine to pair with each course. We can't wait to come back in 2018, he has become family to us and a trip to Napa without Chef Adair isn't worth the visit!

From Yelp: "The star system here says it all. Chef Adair and his team are as good as it gets. As a past business owner and events coordinator, I have worked with many chefs and catering companies over the years. Literally, no one comes close to the professionalism and joy Chef Adair brings to his jobs. I've worked with Adair a few times now and each time it's the same. He and Richard run such an efficient, tight ship, that as the event coordinator I literally don't have to worry about anything food related. They had every detail taken care of. And all of this before the food which is... amazing."

"Garrett and his team stepped up on very short notice to cater a reception for Lily Tomlin. The service was superb, and I have never had so many positive comments about the food at any event...it was delicious!" — Penny Vanderwolk, Fund Development, Community Relations Manager, Sutter Medical Center of Santa Rosa
"When looking for private chefs, Sonoma county offers a wide variety of choices. I can say without reservation, that Chef Adair represents the best of the best." — Jeremy C.
"Chef Adair is incredible! I hired him and his team for a private 5-course tasting dinner for 13 people and every course was better than the next! We were blown away with the flavors, the combination of ingredients - from beginning to end and down to every last detail, it was the perfect evening.
We barely knew he was there yet when we all wanted to chat and see what they were up to in the kitchen, he was more than happy to show us the ropes and teach us a bit about what he was doing. He's super cool, personable and beyond professional.
If you want an amazing meal to go with your fabulous evening, then hire Chef Adair. You will NOT be disappointed. "

"Chef Adair is one of the best chefs we have had the pleasure of cooking for us! Our family spent a week in the wine country eating at some of the best restaurants in the area because we are foodies. Then we had Chef Adair cook for us at our vacation home on the last night of our trip, and it was by far the best dinner we had. His plates were creative, well executed, beautiful and best of all had an amazing combination of flavors. He used the freshest ingredients with delicious accompaniments grown in his own garden. To top it all off he is personable and showed us great techniques in cooking. We will invite Chef Adair to cook for us again and greatly appreciated the excellent service from his staff who joined him." — Christine Dwiggins
"I just wanted to thank you one more time for that wonderful dinner on the 22nd. You really made our anniversary & vow renewal so memorable and I can't thank you enough. The food was fantastic, hands down the best meal I've had. And I can't imagine having a better one! Everything was perfect and everyone truly enjoyed the dinner. You and your crew did a fabulous job. If we make it back out to Sonoma, we will definitely be giving you a call to do another dinner for us. Thank you!!!!" — Jenny Cook
"I can't remember when I've enjoyed a party as much, which is really challenging when you are the host. You took care of every detail, added more than we even anticipated, created heavenly food, and interacted beautifully with our guests. And then, when I thought that the evening could not get more magical, you offered an incredibly generous donation to Teach with Africa. WOW! We (the Schlenoff-Kowal families) look forward to a long and mutually rewarding relationship." — Margie Schlenoff
"As a sommelier, it is rare to have the pleasure of working with a chef who enjoys the dialogue of creating perfect wine pairings as much as Chef Adair. Each dish was creative, delicious and showed great sensitivity to the paired wines. Additionally, he was able to seamlessly adjust to some last minute requests from the guests, tailoring the experience perfectly to their needs."

"Thank you again for a perfect evening. The food was amazingly delicious. We are still talking about it. the whole evening was beyond what we had expected and really made our trip to Napa. Can't wait to do it again!" — Mel :)
"Chef Adair and his team catered my husband's 50th Birthday party over Memorial Day weekend in Santa Rosa. And did they go above and beyond to make the event memorable. It was an outdoor event and the weather turned unexpectedly to a heavy rain just hours before the guests were to arrive. The crew came together and helped me assemble tents and the chef loaned me his tent. The staff solved so many problems that night with creativity and great smiles. The food was fabulous and Chef Adair was so easy to work with and responsive to special requests. He responded quickly when I first contacted him and impressed me with his love of food and local sourcing of his ingredients. An incredibly memorable evening thanks to Chef Adair and his team."
