This is What My Clients Say Working With Modern Classical Chefs
I highly recommend Chef Dan Ninerell for an unforgettable private dining experience!
We had the pleasure of booking him for an intimate dinner to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and he truly made the evening so special. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. Chef Dan created a customized four-course menu entirely from scratch…

We gave our parents an evening with Modern Classical Chefs as a Christmas gift!
Chef Dan worked with us in advance to select a menu every guest would enjoy, including incorporating all dietary restrictions. We can’t thank Chef Dan enough for a beautiful meal accompanied with his charming personality.
Tara M
Totally blown away with Dan and Modern Classical Chefs!
This meal was a 10/10 and the service and conversation was the cherry on top. This is much more than a meal, it’s an experience, and one the entire Dunek family highly recommends. What an early birthday present for the triplets!

This was our first time ever having a home chef!
Chef Dan created an absolutely fabulous 4 course meal in my Brigantine home for my annual Girls Weekend. This was our first time ever having a home chef. My guests are still talking about and will never ever forget!
Mary O
we stopped short of licking our plates, but we wanted to!
Chef Dan provided an incredible experience from start to finish. It was simple to set up a consult from his website. He made some amazing recommendations for the dinner, and also adjusted based on guest preferences. He is personable and it was a real pleasure to have him in my home!

Who typically hires a private chef from you?

Do you offer weekly meal prep services?
