Testimonial

Ross said “I thought Chris did a great job; the food, the service and the way he interacted with us, how he described what he was serving, and with that bringing to life where it came from and how he sourced it, made the whole evening a real highlight. My only complaint is I ate too much – but hard to blame Chris for that!”
