I'm so sorry that I didn't manage to get a picture of the food that we had from Live Greens. I'm afraid that I wasn't taking photos since I was the bride, but let me tell you…I was much impressed! I seem to recall (though could be wrong) that our delivery and set up person‘s name was Luke - What a wonder guy he was! So very nice and reassuring. I absolutely could not have asked for a better person doing the food for my wedding and for this somewhat frazzled older bride. I really worried about whether I had as many nice serving pieces as I was thinking I have and indeed had promised Live Greens that I could provide, and as I fussed about it, Luke couldn’t have been nicer or more reassuring, saying that I had plenty and I don’t need to worry about it, he would take care of everything and wow, did he ever! We had so much food and it looked so beautiful, with all credit going to Luke the Wonder Guy❣️ I would use AND RECOMMEND Live Greens again in an absolute heartbeat❗️I think he took a pic and if so I hope that it can be attached to this review…. nothing would please me more.

I never though a private chef was something we'd be able to do, but we setup with Ryan and team for one meal a week for about the cost of a dinner out (which we did anyhow). Now we look forward to our weekly in-home dining experience with none of the planning, cooking, or cleanup stress - it's been amazing. The food is better than anything around and tailored to what we like, and Ryan’s vibe is professional but easy to be around (plus you’ll pick up a a ton of legit cooking techniques just watching him work). Also, he does special meals for major holidays that we have done for the last couple of years - such a nice option to take advantage of. More...

Chef Sarah is amazing! She provided my family an incredible meal and appetizers for a birthday gathering. If you want a night off from shopping, prepping, cooking and cleaning this is for you. We had a relaxing, fun night that was better than being in an upscale restaurant . More...

Chef Ryan and his team at Live Greens PDX were nothing short of amazing. At the onset Chef Ryan was professional, helpful and a pleasure to work with. From planning the menu to scheduling the meal all concerns and questions were addressed in a timely manner. Chef Sean came to our home and turned our kitchen into a 5 star steak house where we were served the most spectacular meal imaginable. More...

Chef Ryan prepared the perfect menu for the celebration of life for my parents. We enjoyed eating good food, drinking good wine and having great conversations with my parents when they were alive and they enjoyed Pacific Northwest cuisine. Ryan delivered fantastic food and wine - my parents would have loved it. Ryan took care of everything so I could focus on conversing with my family and friends. It was the perfect celebration for my parents. A deep thank you, Ryan! More...

Really enjoyed Ryan coming over to cook for us. With a one year old at home, getting out for a fancy dinner is really tough. Ryan made it easy by coming to our house:) More...

We hired Chef Ryan for a birthday party dinner for 8, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Communication was easy and seamless, and he was incredibly accommodating, offering great ideas for the menu. He was punctual and professional, and the dinner itself was outstanding. Everyone was impressed with the quality and taste of the meal. Highly recommend Chef Ryan for any special occasion! More...

I hired Chef Ryan for a 4 course private dining event for 10 and was excellent to work with from start to finish. Great communication, was flexible with setting a menu to address various needs, arrived on time and wonderfully adapted to the situation so that everyone had a wonderful meal. He even left the kitchen cleaner than he found it with leftovers packed away. Look forward to hiring Ryan again next time the need arises. More...

What’s your signature dish?
Red Wine Braised Short Ribs - classic French, slow cooked until tender served over garlic mashed potato's and topped with a reduction of the braising liquid so it's naturally thick and full of flavor.
Texas Smoked Brisket - dry rubbed and refrigerated for 24 hours, then smoked for 16-20 hours depeding on size creating a beautiful "bark" on the outside, still juicy on the inside and tender. Truly amazing dish!
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
We ask clients up front about any dietary restrictions, food allergies, likes, dislikes, favorite cuisines and let us know about anything else they would like us to know. Then we create menus to fit those guidelines.
What do you love most about your job?
Interacting live with clients during a dinner party or event. Seeing people happy and enjoying themselves is the best :)
What inspired you to start your own business?
I came up in the restaurants from 14 years of age, opened up two restaurants from ground up and was getting burnt out with all the nights, weekends, holidays and long days/nights... I love entrepreneurship. It is also hard work but much more rewarding!
