If you are looking for a private chef - there is NO BETTER OPTION than CHEF WAYNE. Stop searching for anyone else right now! His passion for his work is incredible, his food is OUTSTANDING and he is just a truly wonderful person. We had him for our bachelorette party of 6 and we didn’t want it to end. His choices of wine pairing with food were perfection! Can’t recommend him enough! Highly recommend d his butternut squash soup and crème brûlée! Thank you Chef Wayne!!!

Chef Wayne is an absolute treat! The passion he has for what he does shines through his entire service and is reflected in his delicious meals. His ability to pair wines with delicious, high quality food is unmatched. 10/10 highly recommend hiring him for any event- he is a true delight. You will not be disappointed! P.S. the crème brûlée is TOP NOTCH.

I highly recommend Chef Wayne. The food he served was delicious, and all the courses and wine came out in a timely manner. Not a single thing disappointed us. The steak was huge and the cheesecake was the most decadent cheesecake I’ve ever tasted. The famous semolina buns were fantastic. Chef Wayne was very professional and personable. I’d love to hire him again on my next visit to the Finger Lakes.

Hi Chef Wayne!!

You recently made the trip to Ellicottville and cooked me and my bridal party the BEST food I have ever had! I saved your card with plans of getting back in touch with you for a future event. We were all very impressed with the service you provided – you made it a wonderful night with amazing food and wine for us girls, so thank you so much again for being a part of such a special time for me.

Chef Wayne was absolutely amazing. We had stayed at the Finger Lakes for a birthday weekend and Chef Wayne gave us a night to remember. He came prepared with everything and shared his knowledge on the wine and Finger Lakes as we were served our four course meal. Our party was left happy, full, and laughing. He was professional, personable, and left our rental cleaner than he found it! We could not recommend Chef Wayne enough and can’t wait to come back!

Chef Wayne was absolutely amazing!!! This was the perfect ending to our girls book club weekend. Chef Wayne was professional, funny, knowledgeable, and he made the night so special. Each of us felt so pampered. The table setting was stunning, the food and wine were perfection and his stories and knowledge were unmatched. Thank you for making this night so memorable.

Chef Wayne was absolutely professional and knowledgeable about every wine and dish he served. From the starter, main course, and dessert, everything was delicious. He kicked off our girls' trip in an amazing way and we couldn’t have asked for more! A definite recommendation!

We had an amazing experience with Chef Wayne crafting a special dinner for my family to celebrate my parent’s 40th wedding anniversary. He was professional, very knowledgeable, and made delicious food totally from scratch. He brought in all his own cookware and table settings, leaving the kitchen just as clean as he found it. I highly recommend Chef Wayne to anyone looking for a one-of-kind experience!

Chef Wayne, We just wanted to thank you again for our most enjoyable evening at 6188 Lake St in Cayuga on 6/23. You were a wonderful host and the meal was outstanding, everything so fresh and flavorful and perfect. Thanks, too, for enhancing our knowledge of wines and wine production. A great night! Thank you again.

Chef Wayne did an amazing job getting our girls weekend off to a great start! He had a great variety of options to choose from for our menu, and everything was delicious. We loved his knowledge of the history of the wines in the area, and he left the house even cleaner than he found it. I would hire him again without hesitation.
