PORTFOLIO
A Taste of Our Success
We brought in Fernando for my wife's 40th. We were prepared to enjoy ourselves; we ended up being blown away. This was one of the best meals we've had anywhere in the world. His style is "modern eclectic". I'd best describe it as old school European with a layer of "other". The food was innovative, prepared perfectly, and plated beautifully. As a bonus, Fernando and his wife were an absolute delight. We'll be calling on them regularly, and encourage you, reader, to do so as well!
I have had the pleasure of eating food prepared by Chef Fernando many times. Everything he prepares, from hors d'oeuvres to grilled octopus to filet mignon is always perfectly cooked and delicious. Chef Fernando artfully and beautifully plates and presents his food, so that the dining experience is as much a feast for the eyes as the body.
My wife and I, were one of the fortunate to indulge on one of Chef Fernando's exquisite tastings. We are restauranteurs and international foodies. Chef Fernando's commitment to his craft is unrivaled. His approach on presentation is of a refined artist, the flavor profiles left us with wanting more. I would be first in line to adorn Chef Fernando with a James Beard Culinary Award.
Whether you're having an intimate dinner, a large event, or a holiday gathering, you'll be extremely pleased with Chef Fernando's amazing food. He made Christmas dinner for us and everyone raved about it, especially the short ribs, which were just about the best I've ever had. My family still talks about what a great meal it was. It was so nice to actually relax and enjoy time with my family instead of being in the kitchen stressed and exhausted! Chef Fernando was so pleasant to work with, very accommodating, and his delicious food is of the highest quality. I highly recommend him for any of your small or large catering needs! - Diane A., Fanwood NJ.
An amazing experience! Our dinner was exquisite, high quality, so fresh and full of flavour. Chef Fernando made our private gathering extra special. He was so kind to work with our dietary needs and was easy to communicate with from the very start. The scallops and fish were perfectly cooked. Service was excellent, we felt so pampered. Thank you, Chef! Highly recommended!
