    Highlights

    Designed for intimate groups of 4–12 guests, this chef table experience brings Chef Mike’s inventive, health-forward cuisine into your space. Expect a vibrant lineup of vegan, keto, gluten‑free or whole‑food dishes—beautifully plated and thoughtfully paced. Your chef will collaborate with you ahead of time on dietary needs, signature ingredients, and presentation style, then arrive to prepare, cook, serve, and clean up—all with service that feels lively and elevated.


    This is ideal for a memorable family gathering, birthday dinner, or a wellness‑oriented event in Sarasota or Manatee County, where Chef Mike has served private dinners since 2017.

    Chef Mike's team has built an impressive reputation for making events genuinely special, with flawless execution across everything from intimate dinner parties to corporate gatherings and weddings. Guests consistently rave about the food quality—comparing it to Michelin-starred restaurants—while praising how immaculate the kitchen is left afterward. The staff, particularly JoAnn, Jessica, and various chefs like Kristin and Jason, get called out repeatedly for being responsive, professional, and going above and beyond with personal touches like surprise decorations. What stands out is their flexibility and communication. They handle last-minute dietary restrictions without breaking a sweat, help clients build custom menus, and maintain constant contact throughout the planning process. Beyond traditional catering, they offer cooking classes and prepared meal options that reviewers found equally excellent. The vibe is warm and accommodating rather than stuffy, with staff who clearly care about their work and making guests feel special. Everyone who books them seems eager to do it again.

    There is a reason chef Mike and his team have all 5 star reviews! You don’t get 112 5 star reviews without being outstanding. Whether you are seeking a caterer for a large wedding or a private chef to cook in house or even just a small casual dinner… Look no further. Chef, Mike and his team will work with you to customize whatever menu you have in mind. Our group has been traveling to Ana Maria Island for 15 years. Each trip have one dinner that we’d like for a caterer to prepare ahead and drop off at the house so that we can eat dinner together at the house at our leisure. It’s not an easy task to appeal to 11 different pallets, but somehow they did it! They have a huge menu to choose from, the flavors of the items we selected were incredibly memorable and all for an affordable price. I think I’m most excited that I have finally found the caterer that we will use again and again and again. Chef Mike … we will be back!
