I hired Mark to prepare a special birthday dinner party for my partner, Bill.  He's very personable, professional, detail oriented and an outstanding chef.  I look forward to working with him again.Birthday boy's comments say it all:  Chef Mark Roberts and Assistant Amy did wonderfully for my 65th birthday dinner party hosted in our home.  Starting with my list of favorite foods, Chef Mark created a delicious 5 course dinner using his vision, recipes and extensive use of fresh ingredients.  He also recommended wines, that indeed paired well.  After serving desserts, they quickly cleaned up and left us to enjoy our after dinner drinks under the stars.  A very nice evening was enjoyed by all as this delectable experience was much more personal and quieter than a restaurant. We will do this again! More...

I was super excited to get a personal chef for my 30th birthday. I wanted to pick something I never normally do. I ended up finding Mark on yelp, and reached out to him, not knowing if he would have availability. . since I was reaching out to him a couple days before my birthday weekend. I was amazed he responded that same night. He was very helpful.. I had a lot of questions, and kept changing my mind. He never seemed annoyed or not wanting to assist.Mark was willing to work with me, and even offered suggestions. I finally decided literally like the day before. He was all for it. He was very prompt to when he said he would arrive. And when the food was going to be ready. I offered to give him more time, and he was like "no, you said 5 and it will be ready at 5." His assistant was very friendly. She was willing to take our pictures and she was very accommodating. I enjoyed talking with her. She made sure if we needed anything she would help.The food from start to finish was so good. I couldn't believe how amazing it tasted. I loved every piece of it. The Ooey Gooey cake was so my favorite!I really enjoyed this experience with Chef Mark, he didn't even mind when my crazy friend made crazy remarks. He was reasonably priced. He was definitely worth every penny. I would definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone looking to have a personal chef for an event.Thank you Chef Mark for making my birthday memorable! More...

Chef Mark cooked and served up an AMAZING three course meal for my birthday weekend with friends. Watermelon goat cheese bites were amazing and the filet mignon was out of this world. Lava cake for dessert was ridiculously good. The portions were beyond what any human can finish. From my first conversation with Chef Mark he was professional, easy to work with and communicative. He executed everything exactly as we discussed and we enjoyed the experience immensely. Highly recommend for delicious food and a fun night in! More...

Mark Roberts is a culinary phenom!  He is a young creative and talented professional, who's food is comparable to any top chef in the game.  He is very accommodating, flexible, and super easy to work with.  His surf and turf main course (steak and lobster tails) and crab cake appetizers left my guests and me in total awe.  Additionally, his award winning chocolate mousse dessert was a HIT for this non-chocolate lover!  If I were rich, I would have him cook ALL of my food EVERY DAY!   Hire this guy!

Where to start, I can't say enough good things about chef Mark. He came to our villa at the hotel here in desert springs for our bachelorette party. Working with mark was a breeze, I contacted him for a quote on brunch and was presented with a price per person and a menu of options. I was a able to pick two amazing dishes that our bride to be loved. Mark arrived and brought everything he needed with him and he cooked away in the kitchen. The food was delicious and he was incredibly kind and put up with listening to all of us girls chit chat in the room while he cooked. Sometimes I forgot he was even there. He set the table and even served everyone, this was the five star treatment and a five star meal. Will definitely be using chef mark in the future for more events. More...

We hired Chef Mark for a bachelorette party of 9, and he went above and beyond our expectations. The whole process was effortless. Chef Mark is very responsive, flexible with your budget/menu, and very personable & accommodating. He came three hours early to prepare and brought everything (i.e., cookware, dishware & utensils) himself. He also served us during our dinner and cleaned up the kitchen afterwards. We spent around $100pp for our menu of stuffed mushrooms, butternut squash, surf & turf, and chocolate lava cake. He is quite generous with his portions, so the price was well worth the food & experience. I definitely recommend him for any of your events. Thank you Chef Mark! More...

I do not know how he accomplishes this one man show, but he definitely exceeded our expectations.Mark was easy to communicate with throughout my whole booking process. He came to the home about 3 hours early to start his prep and I was surprised he did this all himself. He brought everything: dishes, utensils, grills, etc. and he even brought fresh flowers for the centerpiece of the table. He was very professional and worked in such an organized and structured manner. He did not let us help him at all. In fact, we all just took naps while he did his magic in the kitchen.He served each of us individually by each course. He took away any used utensils and plates as the meal went by. When it came to the main course i was surprised to see that each us received our own bone in rib-eye! For that price, I was blown away. I picked our menu which was: appetizers: pretzel bun sliders with bacon, ceviche & bruschetta(w/edible flowers!)salad: capresemain: rib-eyedessert: lava cake with fresh raspberriesEverything was so good and he encouraged us not to eat because we'd be full by the time we got to the main course...he was right. We were stuffed but we couldn't pass up that luscious lava cake.  Everything came out beautifully plated AND delicious! On top of that, everything came out on time. There were 12 of us in a bachelorette party, so we paid for the bride-to-be. Split amongst 11 of us, we paid ~$102 each and that is including tax, tip, fees, etc...It was definitely worth more!He also cleaned up everything and left the kitchen spotless.I suggest you work with Mark, you will NOT be disappointed.

Chef Mark was absolutely amazing to work with! I wanted to do something a little different and give my husband something he has always wanted to do, learn how to properly cook ribs and chicken on the grill!

Not only did he show him how to correctly cook meat on the grill and showed multiple styles and ways to do it, but we even learned how to make our own wet and dry rubs for the ribs! We ended up with a feast of fantastic homemade BBQ that could have fed an army but lucky us we got it all to ourselves! I definitely will be reaching back out to Chef Mark again! More...

You won't find a more gracious chef. I was in a bind and posted in search of a chef who could cook for 30 people on a retreat in the San Jacintos. Mark responded to a post just moments after I'd made a request, and was communicative and patient throughout the whole process.  Our retreat required him to camp in his truck, work in cramped quarters, and begin cooking before sunrise. Mark never complained, but was up at 5AM with a pleasant smile, an interesting story, and hearty, warm grub. He was a gentlemen to our group of 30 guests, and his meals were rated an average of 5 out of 5 stars in our evaluations. The guests said they felt "spoiled" by the food. Chilaquiles, pulled pork sandwiches, and good options for the vegetarians too. I really appreciated his creativity, speed, and patience. More...
