Wow, the service we got from Live Fire Chefs for our wedding was more than I expected. Patrick was so easy to work with and so communicative, he made sure we understood things and ...
that we got what we wanted. Don’t even get me started on the food, it was out of this world! Our menu consisted of the bacon wrapped scallops, honey garlic chicken, Cesar salad, the ribeye steak, chicken Marsala, Mac and cheese, baked potato and grilled asparagus with cheesecake for dessert. I want to relive the day just for the food alone! Everyone said it was the best wedding food they had ever tasted and it’s beyond true. The wedding started an hour later than we wanted and so the luncheon got moved back as well, and they were able to accommodate for it and all went smooth. I HIGHLY recommend using them for any event! They are worth every cent!

They were so easy to work with. They accommodated all my dietary restrictions. Their premium menu was with the extra cost. Fine dinning steak house experience.
