Chef Cheryl came and cooked a delicious meal for 6 of us. It was a special occasion and we did not do anything. Cheryl handled everything from set up to clean up. We picked scallops for appetizer and then red snapper for dinner. Key lime for dessert. Everything looked great and tasted even better. Very professional!!Posted on Google Kristin McFaddenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Chef Cheryl create a beautiful dinner at our home for a retirement celebration. It was absolutely fabulous! We chose scallops and red snapper and it could not have been more fresh and delicious! Chef Cheryl is wonderful at blending the perfect flavors to create a perfect meal!Posted on Google Matt TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Cheryl in February this year to arrange a surprise 30th anniversary dinner for my wife, four adult children and three of their partners whilst we were on Anna Maria Island in June (we were travelling in from the UK). Every step of the way Cheryl was informative and helpful, and very communicative. I kept the evening secret from my family right up until the moment Cheryl arrived. And what a special evening it was - Cheryl went all out to make the evening memorable, nice touches with anniversary decorations and a beautiful table arrangement. And the food - wow! We started with a charcuterie spread which was amazing (and we enjoyed for about three days afterwards!). Super tasty starters (catering for my son with an egg allergy too) and mouth-watering entrees. And amazing key lime tarts to finish. Everyone had a truly wonderful time - the food was incredible, the evening ran like clockwork and it was the memorable celebration that I had hoped it would be. Thank you Cheryl.Posted on Google Ebony MontgomeryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Chef Cheryl and Emeli! From start to finish, they were professional, accommodating, and a joy to work with. The presentation was beautiful, and the food was truly exceptional. Every dish was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We highly recommend them and will definitely book again the next time we visit AMI!Posted on Google Toni FreyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chef Cheryl is amazing. The table was beautiful, the food was amazing. Wonderful experience!!Posted on Google Danielle MorrisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chef Cheryl made an incredible dinner for our family to enjoy on our recent vacation to Anna Maria Island. With young kids in our group, it’s hard to go out to eat, so it was wonderful to enjoy fine dining at our rental house. From the beautiful presentation to the exquisite flavors with each bite, we thoroughly enjoyed the personalized private dining experience with her. We hope to visit AMI again soon and will consider hiring her services a “must do” each visit!
