Ember Chef Testimonials

Janie Calvert,
Palos Verdes Estates CA

"It was my great pleasure to be invited to a dinner party where Chef Stefan was exercising his great skills at preparing dinner. First of all, he couldn't have been more welcoming to his kitchen. It is obvious he loves food and wants others to do so as well. The evening was very special with delicious pizza coming from the pizza oven.  It was the best!! Thank you Stefan."

“Stefan created an unforgettable experience that brought us together in a way nothing else could. From the open-pit barbecue to his culinary storytelling and locally sourced PNW seafood, every detail was thoughtful and exceptional. The atmosphere he created was warm, delicious and uniquely memorable. Whenever we return, Stefan as part of the plan is a must.”

“We celebrated my Dad's 90th birthday, my daughter's 21st birthday and her college graduation in this amazing retreat. We were able to have four different parties during which chef Stefan completely took care of us so we could enjoy being part of the festivities rather than doing the work. He does all of the shopping, all of the meal prep and planning and serves the most delicious food. It made all of the difference for me to have that break and just enjoy the gorgeous views, the daily Bald Eagle visits and OMG, the sunsets! My family will remember this trip for the rest of our lives. If you are hesitating at all, my advice is to JUST DO IT! Thank you, Jim and Katarina and Stefan for blessing us with this opportunity.”
