Chef Harold is kind, professional, and genuinely loves his job! He was timely, came prepared, and truly brought the holiday spirit. We enjoyed a well-timed meal with multi courses (the portions were generous!), and finished the experience with full bellies (and a lot of laughs). The dumplings were so yummy. Would definitely recommend the experience to others!

We had the best time with Chef Harold! We booked the sushi and ramen experience and the food was incredible - you can tell he's so passionate about his work. Chef Harold has a wealth of knowledge and experience and offered to teach us some tips and tricks as he prepared the food which we loved. He was very accommodating about our dietary restrictions as well which we so much appreciated. The food and overall experience with Chef Harold was a highlight of our summer. We'll definitely be booking again soon!

Chef Harold made an incredible sushi spread for my friend’s bachelorette party. Everyone was beyond impressed with the sushi, sushi taco, Korean chicken wing and dessert! Chef Harold’s personality and the stories he shared with us made the event even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend 100% for any event from a dinner party to a bachelorette!

We had a wonderful evening with Chef Harold. Delicious ramen and dumplings prepared before us with explanations on his mastery and interesting discussions about cooking in Boston at the prestigious kitchens where he worked. This was a terrific holiday present from our children which we will not forget!

We had a wonderful time with Chef Harold! All of the food was incredible, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, and he prepared an extra roll of sushi for us. Chef Harold was so friendly and conversational — we had an incredible time! Highly recommend.

Chef Harold was terrific! We booked this somewhat last minute (less than a month from day of event) for a special 40th birthday surprise dinner with 6 adults (and 1 toddler present half of the meal - till bedtime). We have an open floor plan and we hanging out at the kitchen table and island while Chef Harold started preparing the multi-course meal featuring ramen as the main event. Chef Harold focused on cooking while we had our own conversation (sharing this because some chefs sort of entertain/talk while cooking as part of their shtick, this wasn't his approach - which we really liked for this occasion so we could enjoy ourselves but also in the background see/smell the cooking; seems like he is used to making meals where folks maybe don't even want to be present for the cooking). Chef Harold first reheated the appetizer which he had prepared in advance and then started cooking the other courses which took him some time and that was nice because it helped pace the evening with different courses throughout. We didn't realize the individual ramen bowls would be HUGE so were already full on the earlier courses by time it came (!) and had plenty of leftovers. The food was DELICIOUS and we learned Chef Harold is a really prominent sushi chef who has worked for a number of celebrities etc. We were a bit sad we hadn't picked a sushi menu (but that was for good reason - birthday person doesn't like Sushi). We learned all this while eating the main course as Chef Harold came over to talk with us for a bit after he finished cooking. He was very interesting and friendly and it was great talking with him. He brought his own plastic serving platters/utensils/plates that he then cleaned and took with him (less cleanup for us! Though we did provide some platters to him that we then had to clean after which was no big deal). Highly recommend!

Chef Harold is an incredible chef and we loved having him visit our home! His sushi taco is delicious and I’m already craving another. He is also very accommodating for allergies, ensuring that each dish is safe and allergen-free. I highly recommend booking Chef Harold for an extraordinary culinary experience!!!

Sarah Elizabeth F.

My sister gifted us this experience as a Christmas gift & chef Harold did not disappoint! He arrived on time and even accommodated our 30 min delay when my husband was running late from an event. He was super friendly, told us all about his family and work - life experiences. The food was so delicious and seemed to whip it right up in an instant. He was engaging and made jokes with our two young kids to keep them entertained and happy! We took fun photos and videos the whole time laughing and eating - what a fun family experience! Highly reccommend Chef Harold!

We hired Chef Harold to a 7 person birthday party at our house - and he was fabulous! We selected the Journey through Asia Menu and every course was phenomenal!

Te chef was nice and professional, the food was amazing. The chef not only brought cooking utensils but also cleaned the space and left it as it was. Thank you chef Harold for an amazing experience

Kristin F.

04/09/2022

Chef Harold exceeded our hopes and expectations! We did the sushi making class with him a while back and enjoyed his food and recipes so much that we wanted more! The tour of Asia was absolutely delicious in every way possible. All of the courses were so scrumptious it was hard to choose a favorite. Chef Harold’s chicken wings were so crispy and the “special sauce” was seriously something special. The sushi nigiri was fresh and the drunken noodles were So flavorful and chock full of chicken, shrimp and lobster. Better than a restaurant and the experience of having the chef in your kitchen is such a fun bonus. We highly recommend Chef Harold!

Chef Harold worked with me to create a dumpling class for my boyfriend and I and he made it so fun! It was hands on but we also got to watch Chef and relax and drink some wine, too. He also had us covered when it came to photos which he sent us after and was a nice memo. Next time, we'll have to book him for sushi - his speciality! Chef is very talented and it was a pleasure to work with him.

He kept us engaged with stories, taking pictures and even boomerangs! If you are thinking about using Chef Harold's services, don't give it a second thought, just book it!!

Stephanie C.

Chef Harold came to my house for a private party of 14 people. He did an amazing job and was extremely professional and respectful. The 5 course meal was incredible and would 100% hire him again for a private dinner at my home. He brought all the necessary equipment and materials, and packaged up the leftover for us to keep. Highly recommend if you are consider a private dinner!

Marissa J.

Chef Harold made my fiancé's birthday so special! From taking the time to explain his background, to teaching us the art of making his dishes, to making sure we had photos of the entire night. He gave us an unforgettable experience with incredible food and great portion sizes. I would highly recommend this experience with him to anyone!

This was the second time we hired Chef Antonio to cook for us, and it did not disappoint! It had been a year and a half since we last saw Chef and it was so fun to see him again and enjoy his cooking! He cooked for 9 people with various allergies. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate a birthday! We had 4 courses plated and each dish was made with love. I can't wait to hire Chef again!

Hugh G.

05/03/2021

We enjoyed a wonderful graduation meal in our home by Chef Antonio, and we couldn't be happier! Chef Antonio is personable, he situated himself in our kitchen seamlessly, served the food with impeccable timing and presentation, and cleaned thoroughly. And the food! The most diverse and delicious charcuterie board we ever had, beef tenderloin cooked to perfection (to each person's taste) with brussels sprouts and sweet potato sides, made with Chef Antonio's special preparations, and a wonderful chocolate mousse cake to complete the experience. Chef Antonio made this evening a night to remember in our family and we highly recommend him!

Emily P.

Chef Harold is a fantastic and talented host and food ‘artist.’ Having him celebrate a birthday dinner with his "Journey through Asia" menu was the best experience we could ask for. He is very accommodating and works with you to make everyone happy. Hearing his culinary and life experience only added to the culinary journey. Would recommend Chef Harold to everyone!

Fred D.

Couldn’t have ask for a better experience. Harold was professional, charming, engaging. He made us feel so comfortable. Most importantly, the food was amazing. Each course was delicious and well presented. It was the best date night activity I have ever been a part of. Thank you Harold.

FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Boston

How much does a private chef in Boston cost?

The cost ranges depending on your group size and event details with tiered pricing used according to the headcount for your event. For most menus, you can expect to pay between $59 and over $100 per person. Next to each listed experience that is available on this page, you will see a starting cost per person price displayed for the experience. That price will automatically adjust based on your group size. In addition to the base cost of the dinner, there is also a local sales tax that is applied. Connect with our concierge team to get answers to your specific questions about the cost of a private chef for a dinner party or similar special occasion.

What is included when you hire a chef for the night?

Your Boston chef will shop for the necessary ingredients to create your chosen menu and bring them to the event site. They’ll prepare the meal in the onsite kitchen space, including specialty tools that may come into play during the process. They’ll also provide table service during the dinner to keep your guests satisfied as the evening unfolds and clean up once dinner is finished. It’s an experience similar to a catered dinner that takes the work out of your hands, allowing you to spend time enjoying your guests without lifting a finger.

What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?

When you hire a chef for dinner, Asian fare like sushi and regional street food favorites, classic Italian and French spreads and steakhouse-style dining are all popular options provided by private chefs around the city. You’ll also find menus featuring fresh seafood caught nearby and transformed into meals that rival popular Boston restaurants like Atlantic Fish Company and Saltie Girl. And with a focus on fantastic American specialties, you can choose from domestic and global possibilities prepared with a gourmet touch. There are also several Michelin-star-caliber menus available that offer the best that luxury dining has to offer. You can even find vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options to entice specialty diners.

Where do the experiences take place?

When you book an in-home chef for a dinner party, you are hiring the chef to cook at your home dining space, though alternative venues around the city are also possibilities. Wherever your preferred locale may be, your chef will require a clean, working kitchen with functional appliances to ensure a well-prepared meal. With so many exciting quarters around the Boston area, you can enjoy a dinner party in Back Bay, throw a supper club gathering in Cambridge or arrange a celebratory feast in North End.
