Golden State Chef Co

Can’t say enough good things about Ryan and Golden State Chef Co. We put together a surprise anniversary dinner for my mom and Ryan was helpful from Day 1, with lots of creative ideas and flexibility. My dad has had a stroke and is hard to communicate with sometimes, but Ryan was open and welcoming and the night went off perfectly. The food was more than incredible tasting, it was also beautifully served and helpfully described at each stage. Each bite had unique flavors and everyone oooh’d and ahhh’d over each dish. I’ve never felt so pampered and I know my mom loved it. Ryan is also engaging and friendly and just fun to be around, which made the night even better.
I am keeping Ryan on tap for future special occasions and highly recommend him to anyone who wants a unique evening of culinary excellence!

Appalled would be an understatement! I initially spoke to Ryan for our intimate wedding dinner of 10 – 12 people. He suggested $ 50-​$ 60/​person for a 5 course meal. I thought that was rather high given no protein or dessert, but its for a special day so I agreed. After a few days Ryan sent me a vegetarian menu with a cost of $ 1,200!!! That’s $ 100-​$ 120/​person. I’ve been in quite a few fine dining establishments and can’t say I’ve ever spent that, let alone on a meal with no meat. Beware

What an absolutely fabulous experience!!! I can’t say enough good things about Ryan and the Golden State Chef Company.
We threw a dinner party for 8 guests, French themed. The food was incredible and perfectly portioned. The presentation was gorgeous, and he printed out menus for each person. It was a nice touch.
With each course Ryan came out to our table and explained what we were eating and how it was prepared. It added to the magic of the evening and our guests loved it.
When Ryan and Lindsey (his wife and partner) left at the end of the night, the kitchen was spotless. They took care of every detail.
Finally Ryan and his wife Lindsey are just totally cool. They brought a real good energy to the party. They joked around with us, were super friendly to our guests and became part of the group. Everyone loved them!
I can’t imagine ever throwing a party without them. Thank you, Ryan and Lindsey!

Ryan made delicious food for my friend’s bachelorette party! He did a great job and was really professional. Everything he brought out was fantastic!

Ryan catered at a surprise bachelorette party hosted for a friend. He did an incredible job. The food was seriously some of the best I’d ever had. Ryan was very kind and professional. I highly recommend him for any event!

Ryan catered 2 outstanding holiday events for us. The first was a formal plated 5 course dinner service for 10 that was delicious and decadent. Everyone’s favorite was his truffled potato soup. The second was a buffet style service of upscale finger foods for 50, each item embellished with a special sauce or topping. The food was delicious. The presentation was impeccable. The service and clean up were perfect. He has great suggestions and is easy to work with in developing creative and enjoyable menus. Don’t hesitate to select Ryan and his team for your next catering event.

I honestly can’t say enough about my wonderful experience with this company! Chef Ryan was very professional and the food was amazing! I highly recommend him for any home event. He also makes great prepared meals for those of us who don’t cook.
