Chef Hartley is a culinary virtuoso. His dishes are a symphony of flavors, a testament to his creativity and skill. The presentation is always a work of art, and the taste? Sublime. His attention to detail and commitment to using fresh, local ingredients make each bite a memorable experience.

Chef provided a custom experience by coming to my home and preparing an immaculate meal for my birthday. Lamb chops, shrimp, lobster, etc. are just some of the treats he prepared and shared with us.

Dining with Chef Hartley is a journey through gastronomic delight, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an exceptional culinary adventure.

Chef Hartley’s food will take your taste buds on a transformative ride that your palate has never experienced. The fish and grits were probably one of the most memorable meals I’ve had in a long time and his skillet Mac and cheese is to die for.

I couldn’t ask for a better experience with a chef. My wife and I was planning an anniversary dinner and I wanted to make it intimate and amazing and chef Hartley did just that. He adhered to our dietary needs and came up with a menu that we couldn’t get any where else. We had a wonderful time and he recommended wine that paired perfectly with the dishes he prepared. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. If I didn’t know any better, I would have sworn he was an iron chef or on Food Network. That’s top tier and I’m super picky. Oh yeah and my wife loved it too😂. Thanks chef!! See you again real soon! More...

Q&As

I love seafood so anything out of the water I love to prepare.

The first step is a phone consultation with the new client to get to know there vision and likes or dislikes and I use that to curate a menu that brings their vision to life

I love to bring to life a clients vision on a plate >

While going through life you go through things and life changing events to eventually learn your gifts and your purpose . I finally learned my purpose and what I have been put on earth to do.

I am a complete package I bring positive energy and a lot of love. And I just so happen to make amazing food.

I can do remote cooking classes. Clients can work solo or in groups as I give a hands on demonstration

I always practice safe and sanitary environments and work space
