Recent Reviews for Personal Chefs in Manhattan

by David Avraham Carmi

Hands down the best private chef experience in NYC! If you want to host an event that people will actually be talking about for weeks, you need to book Yoni Cohen. We recently had him cater, and honestly, the photos don’t even do it justice. • The Vibe: It’s the perfect balance of high-end fine dining and a totally relaxed, "homey" atmosphere. He somehow makes a private dinner feel like a world-class event without it being stuffy. • The Presentation: Absolute 10/10. Just look at the detail in the crudité and fruit spreads—it’s like a piece of art on the table. The colors, the freshness, the massive floral arrangements... it completely transformed the space. • The Food: Everything was insanely fresh. You can tell he picks out the best ingredients. From the perfectly seasoned veggies and anchovies to the exotic fruit platters, every single bite was a hit. • Seamless Hosting: The best part? I actually got to hang out with my guests while Yoni handled everything. Professional, punctual, and just a genuinely cool guy to have in the kitchen.

Chef Lonnie is an incredible chef. Most importantly, the food was spectacular. My 14 guests were in awe, from the hors d’oeuvres to the dessert. So easy to work with. From planning to the execution. You won’t go wrong with this chef. Just amazing!

I reached out to plan a special dinner for a family birthday, and I’m so glad I did. Every single dish on the menu was exceptional. Ben coordinated a thoughtful menu that accommodated everyone, including the little ones, and everything was fresh, delicious, and generously portioned. Ben, Romy, and Lisha were all so pleasant and made the evening feel effortless. I would highly recommend Chef David Feldman’s team to anyone looking to create a truly special and delicious night. Thank you!

Yllan is an amazing chef. He transformed our patio into the best restaurant ever! He is very detailed, cares about exactly what you want, and overdelivers!! The food was beyond our expectations and we were just so grateful! Steak prepared perfectly appetizers and dessert were all just so delicious our guests were so impressed. We would definitely have Yllan back again! He is extremely professional and we appreciated his presence and his food!
