What our customers are saying

Very high end catering/ personal chef private dinner experience. We did a custom multi course tasting menu. Everything was perfect!

Jody, Lake Forest IL

Cindy, Wilmette IL

"North Shore Private chefs catered our anniversary. We did a cocktail party for 75 guests. The food and staff were exceptional! Very professional and everything went flawlessly. We really enjoyed our anniversary and time with our guests. Very full service clean up was spotless! "

Jeffery, Chicago IL

"We had an incredible evening, a big thanks to North Shore Private Chefs !!! We were hosting a party of 10 for a birthday dinner, 4 passed hor d'oeuvres and a 5 course dinner. Everything was fantastic, from service to food presentation and delicious servings. Our favorite hor d'oeuvres were the Ahi Poke Cucumber Cups and the bison meatball with basil marinara. My favorite dinner course had to be the truffle gnocchi - the herbs used were to perfection! As well as the main course Petit Fillet Mignon- just melted soon as it hit your mouth. We loved our experience and can't wait for our next event with North Shore Private Chefs. "

Anna, Lake Forest IL

"I hired North Shore Private Chefs for a Weekly Meal Delivery Service. Oh wow! They really exceeded any expectations I had! What a pleasure to be eating this quality of food at times like this when we can’t go out. Their service is easy, professional and worth every penny- highly recommend!!!"

Kimberly, Glenview IL

"North Shore Private chefs catered my sisters 250 person Wedding June 2021. She had an hour reception and 3 course plated meal with cake cutting service. It was by far the highest quality food and service I have ever experienced at a wedding. I would highly recommend North Shore Private Chefs. "
