The best six days of food I ever had!

We use Patrick as a private chef to cook dinner and prepare a lunch for the next day. We had 21 people in a large beach house in Saint Augustine. All 21 of us enjoyed his food, his personality and his talent. The servings were generous And prepared excellent this event was to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and he made it as special as everything else on our family reunion. I would recommend them for anybody’s catering needs. Quite simply they are the best. Thank you Darrell and Joan from California.

Highly recommend!

Live Fire Chefs did an amazing job for our wedding. They were quick to respond to my catering inquiry. Setup a nice food tasting for the menu items we wanted. The food tasting was incredible, which convinced us to use them for our wedding. They had all the sides prepared and everything else was prepped but cooked on site, so everything was fresh and hot. Even though we were running behind schedule, live fire chefs was perfectly on time and had all the food ready at the time I requested. We got nothing but compliments on the food. The coconut shrimp is the best I’ve ever had and this food was the best wedding food I’ve ever had!

Better than amazing!

Wow, the service we got from Live Fire Chefs for our wedding was more than I expected. Patrick was so easy to work with and so communicative, he made sure we understood things and that we got what we wanted. Don’t even get me started on the food, it was out of this world! Our menu consisted of the bacon wrapped scallops, honey garlic chicken, Cesar salad, the ribeye steak, chicken Marsala, Mac and cheese, baked potato and grilled asparagus with cheesecake for dessert. I want to relive the day just for the food alone! Everyone said it was the best wedding food they had ever tasted and it’s beyond true. The wedding started an hour later than we wanted and so the luncheon got moved back as well, and they were able to accommodate for it and all went smooth. I HIGHLY recommend using them for any event! They are worth every cent!

They were so easy to work with and accommodating. They were on top of everything. Their premium menu was worth the extra cost. Fine dinning steak house experience.
