Premier Personal Chef Services: Five-Star Dining at HomeReviews

Do not hesitate to hire Nathan and his team for your next event. We hired Nathan for a birthday dinner. His follow through and attention throughout the process was excellent. He delivered a lavish celebratory meal for 11 guests. The food and service were perfect. Nathan and our server Rachel created a magical night for our guests. I look forward to hiring him again, treat yourself, hire Plates by Payne.

Nathan is a talented chef, good communicator and excellent service provider. We hired Plates by Payne to cook for a birthday dinner in our home. From first contact to the day after the event, Nathan was attentive, timely and thorough. Nathan worked with us to create a fun and celebratory menu for the party, and he delivered. The food was creative, bright and delicious. The service was impeccable. We hosted an upscale lavish dinner party and did not lift a finger. Nathan and our server Rachel created a really magical night for our guests. I strongly recommend hiring Plates by Payne for your next event.

Thank you Nathan for an amazing dinner for our friend's birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed each and every course you prepared for dinner. Brunch the next day was fabulous as well! We are still enjoying our left-overs. I am happy to recommend you and Kaitlin to anyone in the San Diego area.

What fabulously delicious dinner and brunch. Thanks for answering our questions and being a delightful human being.

Nathan provided a fantastic Spanish/Tapas meal for our team of 5 in our Airbnb. From start to finish, his culinary skills and service were top-notch. The flavors were authentic, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for a delightful and hassle-free dining experience.

We used Plates By Payne for a group weekend away. Was blown away by the dedication and attention to detail. Presentation, taste, and accommodating preferences of the group were top notch. Plus, they left the kitchen immaculately clean! Felt like we were at a high end restaurant. Thanks Nathan!

WOW! Book Chef Payne now! Every year, our group of 10 does an annual retreat where we hire a chef over 2 or 3 days to provide dinners. Chef Payne is insane - he's the whole package - everything from presentation to printed menus and flowers. Most importantly, the flavorful and filling set of meals and desserts. And maybe more specifically, the creative mix of flavors he and his team provided was exquisite! The investment for us is fully realized as they served, bussed, and cleaned up after dinner, allowing our group to connect fully and be with each other. Worth every penny - Book him now! Thank you so much Nathan!

Professional, attentive, and innovative. If your desire is to have a special night and experience new flavors, look no further than chef Payne

We loved the quality of the food and the excellent service of Chef Payne. We have a group of 10, and he hit a home run serving us dinner 2 nights in a row. Him and his staff are extremely attentive to the needs of every person in our group and any dietary restrictions. Can not recommend him highly enough.

Chef Payne totally crushed it for my husband's 50th birthday dinner party! From the start, he helped to create a thoughtful menu that catered to the likes of the guests. He and his team were professional, served amazingly delicious food, and left the space cleaner than how they found it. Can't wait to do it again!
