“Chef Jhonathan is easy to work with and extremely pleasant.”
“First let me say Chef Jhonathan is easy to work with and extremely pleasant. The portions he provides are generous and full of flavor. I have utilized his services for corporate meetings, and my colleagues have used his home delivery service. We’ve compared notes and the experiences have been the same. Also, his macarons are impeccable, an absolute must!”

Sample Dinner Party Menus
Listed below are just a few examples for multi-course plated dinners:
- Appetizers such as crab cakes, a warm roasted beet salad or an omelet soufflé
- Main courses, such as pan-seared duck breast, porc Normande and a classic seafood bouillabaisse
- Desserts such as madeleine cake with fresh berries, vanilla bean cheesecake and warm valrhona chocolate fondue cake
“… Accommodated every request, including vegans and complex diet restrictions.”
“Olive Branch catered a party for a friend and it was so good that, a few months later, we decided to inquire about their private chef catering experiences for our own dinner party. Jhonathan’s pricing is incredibly reasonable, given the quality of the food and the care he puts into prep. He accommodated every request, including vegans and complex diet restrictions in some of the meals, as well as an epic custom cake accounting for all our guests’ dietary restrictions. Throughout, he was thoughtful, kind, and super responsive. He really has our highest recommendation. We feel fortunate to have met him and are definitely going to work with Olive Branch Culinary Services again.”
