"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. "
