"Thanks so very much for the delicious dinner. My husband and I really
liked everything. The fish was delicious we loved the sweet potatoes
and vegetables but thought they both were a little skimpy and not real
hot. We look forward to using you again. Thanks for everything."

"I want to thank you for an awesome dinner for my husband's birthday on Saturday nite. Chef Sherry did a superb job - I loved all her recipes and the dishes were excellent. She left our place very neat and organized, and even took out the left-overs for me which we enjoyed the next day. We had a wonderful experience and even our friends felt special and royal:) Thanks for making this event so special and memorable for us."

"Thank you for that fabulous 4 course dinner you’ve prepared for my wife
and I in our home! Everything started out perfect from the aroma of the
food being cooked to indulging in them. I must say…hands down on your
Bruschetta’s, they are by far the best I’ve ever had!! I had Sirloin
Steak and my wife had the Salmon and we both agree that the food was
fabulous! On top of the great meal cooked in our home, you guys cleaned
the Kitchen so spotless it looked like it hasn’t been used at all! Thank
you!"

"Last night was great. Food was spectacular. Sorry we couldn't stay,
just got sprung from the hospital and came home and saw how clean the
kitchen was and your placemats here. How can I return your place mats?
Love to have you cook again and I will spread the word!"

"Dinner was incredible last night! Thank you for a delectable experience--we will definitely look into your great service again. For future reference, how much would last night's dinner run if we hadn't purchased a groupon? Thanks again."

"We really enjoyed our Romantic dinner for 2. It was a gift from our
daughter, for our birthday. And the timing was perfect, as I am
currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments and even going out for
dinner is a major undertaking. We enjoyed a wonderful meal in our own
home. The service was very professional and our kitchen was left
spotless. I would recommend this to all my friends undergoing
chemotherapy or other treatment, to treat yourself and your spouse to a
great night in. THANK YOU!!"

"I just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you, for our AMAZING
meal last night. I just ate my leftovers for lunch and it was STILL
amazing! I had to put my daughter to bed while our food was being
prepared and I could hardly stand to not throw her into her crib and run
with the amazing smells that were coming from downstairs. The food and
service were unbeatable! The staff was friendly and completely
comfortable to have in our home. They even washed a baby bottle so they
could leave our kitchen spotless. To have such a spectacular dinner in
the comfort of our own home was a true treat. It was my husband's
birthday and this meal made it a truly special event. Thank you so much
for everything!"

"WOW, did we have a great time last night for Monty's birthday!! You have
a couple of real gems! There just aren't words to say how fabbulous it
was to see that light in my husband's eyes. He was totally blown away
and that is what I was hoping for. Kudos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will be
bragging about your service to all of our friends, be sure of that!
Mont & my idea of a romantic evening is our sweats, a bottle of
wine, some really good food, and a lot of laughs. That is PRECISELY what
we got from your stafff. Please do thank them again for us, and tell
Delmas next time we won't make him kill the steaks on the grill, he can
have the stove :). Can't say it enough, amazing experience, we will do
it again!

"We had a great dinner, thank you, both
chef and assistant we so professional and made us feel so comfortable,
they would not let us get up or get anything, they accommodated my low
fat request, I did splurge on the brownie that was divine!!! I have
recommended it to my friends and look forward to doing it again, and
they left my kitchen cleaner than it was!!! It was awesome!!!"

"Hi! We really enjoyed our romantic dinner for two. All four courses were
very tasty. Loved the mashed sweet potato with little bits of ginger.
Yum! It was so nice having everything done right at home."

"Last night my husband decided to surprise me with a belated Valentine's
Day gift of having a five star meal prepared for us right in the privacy
of our own home. Exec. Chef Jon arrived at our door and immediately
began creating a unique and memoriable dining experience for us. But it
wasn't just the expertly prepared food that made the meal special, but
also the warm and inviting personality the Chef Jon brought into our
home. Though the package my husband had chosen included wine/champagne,
he was later advised that though listed, neither was included as part of
the package provided. However, supplying our own wine was not a problem
for us at all because we ended up enjoying our own bottle of champagne.
The food was delicious, the side dish of potatoes were out of this
world, and though I tried my best to get a recipe or two (the salad
dressing, the potatoes) out of Chef Jon, he kindly and extremely
respectfully refused to share his secrets with me, which I
completely understand. All in all, this was a Valentine's Day we will remember. Thank you."

"There were five of us for a small family gathering. I'm a pretty
reasonable and fearless cook, and when I told my mother I was having
a chef come in to cook for us she was disappointed. Delmas and
Jalisa won her over to being pleased with the decision. They
quickly set up in my small (crowded) kitchen, working efficiently
and quietly so that we were able to continue visiting without
feeling like we were talking over a commercial kitchen. I was
impressed that they brought their own tablewear, and in no time at
all they were serving the tomato/basil tartlett - which was
wonderful. Soon after came a huge salad with a nice assortment of
greens served with a perfect vinaigrette. The entree was pork loin
topped with a tangy lemony 'greek' style sauce that impressed all of
us (even my relatives who tend toward liking 'plain' food). The
starch was mashed sweet potatoes and they were still a topic of
discussion even the next day. The veggies were cooked perfectly.
We had a special desert that I had prepared and they brought along
an angelfood cake to accompany it. The timing was great. One
course was cleared and the next was ready to be presented. I was
thrilled to walk in to the kitchen at the end of the evening and not
have to start the clean up phase. One of my family members has
spent many years in the food industry - serving at the Space Needle
and then providing service personnel for catering companies. She
was very impressed with their professionalism. Delmas and Jalisa
were friendly and interesting to chat with. I would be happy to
have them come again."

"Our romantic dinner for 2 had our requested entree of halibut with a
lovely sauce and the most glorious mashed potatoes we have ever tasted.
All the food was prepared in our kitchen so it was fresh and warm. Our
dinner began with bruschetta but this is like none other. Tasty soft
bisquits spread with cream cheese and then a fresh tomato herb topping.
It was delicious! Our salad with fresh greens including some spinach
and grated parmesan was accompanied by a soft and very tasty
breadstick. Next came the halibut and throughout the dinner, the chef's
assistant, Jalisa, was keeping the wine we supplied freshly poured in
our glasses along with our water glasses. Dining Delicacies brought the
tableware and dishes, only using our glassware, and cleaned up as they
went. Dessert was a warmed brownie with vanilla ice cream and a
drizzled caramel sauce. We were full, satisified and very pleased with
this experience. Delmas is a superb chef! This was a wonderful
experience."

"It all started when my wife had a huge smile on her face when I told her
that we would be having a romantic dinner for two on our deck - not a
typical occurrence. Our chef, John, brought flowers for my wife then
prepared a fantastic 4-course meal of appetizers; salad; sorbet to
clense our palates; a main course of filet mignon, broccolini, and
3-cheese & bacon mashed potatoes; and bananas foster for dessert.
The meal was truely amazing, the service was great, and the clean up
[not performed by my wife & I] was a breeze."

"We are so thankful for your support of Bazi Reigns. The fact that you
guys would be willing to provide all of the food for the volunteers the
day of the event is going way above and beyond! We are grateful for
you! Anyone who hasn't tasted the gourmet array of flavors from Dining
Delicacies is in for a treat!! Check out Dining Delicacies in the "Our
Awesome Supporters" album."

"Jon your tartlets are awesome! The SAVI Happy Hour guests loved having
you and your tartlets at the spa a couple of weeks ago. And I
agree...the Roma Tomato and Fresh Basil are addicting!"

"I give Dining Delicacies 5 stars for their food and service. I
hired them for a gathering at my home, which was attended by about 60
people. The food was fresh, prepared right in my kitchen (which was
left spotless after the event was over) and served warm and with
attention to detail. An array of appetizers, all very tasty and
consumed in no time at all. My guests were staying at the food table
more than at the beverage table! John helped served and his friendly
attitude was a joy to have with my guests."
Ronnie B, Tacoma, Nov 2009
"I hired Dining Delicacies for my husband's surprise birthday party. It
was such a wonderful experience! Jon and his crew were so nice and
professional. Jon and I decided on a menu, and man did he deliver! We
decided on a burger theme. It may sound simple, but Jon and his crew
turned it into a masterpiece. The Bacon-Egg-Burger was a hit and my
favorite was the A-1 Gorgonzola Burger. The food was fresh and full of
flavor. I also loved the fact that I could host a party and not have to
worry about what was going on in the kitchen. This was a great way to
have a delicious dinner for my guests without me having to prepare it!
Dining Delicacies was my perfect solution!!!"
