“Jacob was an awesome chef and so accommodating for our bachelorette group of 15! He arrived early, brought printed menus, set up quickly and even went out to source table settings day-of to make our dinner picture-perfect. The tasting menu was fantastic, served timely and at a great pace — the group had such a wonderful experience.”
