Limited Customization

We requested a dairy-free menu and still got a dish with butter. Chef apologized, but that shouldn?t have happened at all.

Lacked the Wow Factor

Dinner was fine, but not impressive. Service was polite, but the food didn?t stand out. Was hoping for a more memorable experience.

Needs Better Execution

Idea is great, but execution needs work. The dishes didn?t come together well and presentation felt amateur. Not what I?d hoped for.

Missed the Mark

There were too many mistakes. Cold appetizer, bland entr?e, and a missing side. Service felt rushed and not personalized.

Okay for a One-Time Try

Tried On Thyme out of curiosity. It was a unique experience, but the food wasn?t memorable. Might not book again unless the menu improves.

So Much More Than Just a Meal

On Thyme isn?t just about food?it?s about the whole experience. From the planning stages to the actual event, they were organized and thoughtful. The chef curated a menu that felt uniquely ?us? and executed it beautifully. The food was divine, the service seamless, and the kitchen left cleaner than before. We felt pampered in our own home, without any of the hassle. Best part? We could actually relax and enjoy our evening without stress. It was an experience we won?t forget and one we?re definitely repeating. Truly above and beyond our expectations.

Not Worth the Price

The quality didn?t match the price tag. Portions were small and not all dishes were served hot. Probably wouldn?t use the service again.

A Five-Star Experience at Home

This was hands down one of the best dining experiences we?ve ever had. On Thyme created a full four-course menu for my husband?s birthday, and it felt like we were dining in a Michelin-starred restaurant. The flavors were complex, yet comforting. Every detail was considered, even the plating and dishware. The chef was warm, knowledgeable, and moved through our kitchen like it was his own. I didn?t have to lift a single thing. Our guests were blown away. It was personal, delicious, and worth every cent. We?ve already recommended On Thyme to several friends.

Chef Arrived Late

We had a dinner scheduled for 7 but the chef arrived at 7:30. The food was decent, but the delay threw everything off.


img 2/5.0 22, Dec 2024

Food Was Okay, Not Great

The meal wasn?t bad, but not amazing either. Some dishes lacked flavor and felt under-seasoned. Expected more creativity and finesse for a private chef experience.


img 4/5.0 30, Nov 2024

Excellent Food, Minor Delays

The dishes were creative and flavorful, especially the lamb chops with mint chimichurri. Our chef was very talented and professional, though there was a slight delay between the first and second courses. It wasn?t a big deal, but noticeable. Everything else was fantastic?fresh ingredients, visually appealing plates, and a smooth clean-up process. Definitely a great experience overall, and we?d consider doing this again soon.


img 2/5.0 15, Nov 2024

Overpriced for the Experience

On Thyme looked like the perfect solution for our anniversary dinner, but the results didn?t justify the cost. Booking was easy, but communication after that was spotty. The chef showed up on time but seemed flustered and didn?t explain the courses as expected. While a couple of dishes were nice, one had undercooked rice and another lacked seasoning. Portions were a bit small, and there was nothing memorable about the presentation. The chef left without a goodbye, which felt cold and unprofessional. Cleanup wasn?t thorough either?we had to finish wiping down areas ourselves. I wouldn?t call the experience awful, but for the price, it didn?t meet expectations. There was effort, just not the finesse you?d want from a premium service. We were hoping for a smooth and elevated evening, and it just fell short in too many areas.

Elegant and Stress-Free Evening

Hosting a dinner party always stresses me out, but not this time. On Thyme took care of everything. They helped plan a seasonal menu and adjusted it to accommodate a guest with allergies. The chef was punctual, calm, and efficient. Each course came out with perfect pacing. The roasted beet salad was especially beautiful and full of flavor. Dessert was light and refreshing, which was a nice touch. I didn?t have to do dishes or worry about timing. We actually got to enjoy our guests and the evening. Everyone complimented the experience. Would book again without hesitation.


img 1/5.0 04, Oct 2024

Chef Was Unprepared and Distracted

The overall idea of On Thyme is great, but our particular experience left a lot to be desired. The chef seemed unprepared?he forgot a couple of ingredients and had to improvise. That led to a chaotic kitchen scene and a long delay in serving. The food, unfortunately, reflected that?one dish was bland, the other slightly raw in the center. It wasn?t just the food either; the chef seemed distracted and not particularly focused on the task. There wasn?t much communication or courtesy during the event. The dessert, while tasty, was clearly pre-made and just plated on the spot. I understand that not every experience is perfect, but when you pay for a private chef, you expect more attention to detail and professionalism. It felt more like a rushed catering job than a personal dining experience. We won?t be booking again, at least not anytime soon.

A Rough First Impression

We scheduled a tasting dinner to try out On Thyme before committing to a larger event. The menu sounded great on paper, but the execution was inconsistent. One of the appetizers arrived cold and the entr?e was slightly burnt. While the chef was polite, there wasn?t much engagement or explanation about the food served, which felt impersonal. The kitchen wasn?t left in bad shape, but we did have to re-clean some counters afterward. Also, a couple of utensils were left soaking in the sink instead of being washed. Not a major issue, but still something you notice. The dessert was the best part?light, flavorful, and well-presented?but it didn?t redeem the earlier courses. For the price point and branding, we expected a better introduction to the service. We may try again in the future, but only if we hear there have been improvements. Hoping this was just an off night.

Perfect for a Quiet Celebration

With restaurants too loud for our taste lately, we turned to On Thyme to create an intimate dinner at home. It exceeded expectations. The menu reflected our exact preferences, and the food was exquisite. My partner?s steak was cooked perfectly, and my vegetarian option had just as much attention to flavor. The chef was incredibly kind and professional?he even brought his own cleanup gear. We didn?t need to ask for anything; it was all handled. It felt like we were on a culinary vacation without leaving home. We'll be using them again for every future celebration.

Unbelievably Good Service

On Thyme brought us an experience that was equal parts gourmet and relaxing. We used the service for our small wedding dinner and it could not have gone better. Every course was thoughtful and flavorful?from the delicate seared scallops to the rich chocolate mousse finale. The chef was courteous and even helped set up candles for a better atmosphere. Our families were so impressed, asking if they could get the same chef in their city. Communication before the event was timely and clear. We also appreciated how they respected our kitchen and left it sparkling. This was our first time doing something like this, and now we?re wondering why we waited so long. On Thyme is a gem.


img 1/5.0 11, Aug 2024

Not the Quality We Anticipated

We tried On Thyme for a birthday celebration with high hopes, but unfortunately the whole experience was underwhelming. The chef seemed rushed and forgot to bring one of the key ingredients for the main course. That led to a change in the menu on the fly, and honestly, the replacement dish felt like a last-minute fix. The dessert was okay, but not impressive. The overall flavor lacked creativity, and some items were overcooked. Also, there wasn?t much attention to presentation, which was surprising given this is supposed to be a personalized experience. Cleanup was fine, but we were left disappointed overall. We expected something more polished and elegant for the price we paid. I?ve had better meals at chain restaurants, to be honest. Wouldn?t recommend for special occasions, maybe casual dinners at best. Felt like the service just wasn?t prepared to handle events with higher expectations.

Like Having a Restaurant at Home

We were hosting family for the weekend and decided to book On Thyme for a special dinner. It was the best decision we made. The chef arrived with everything needed and made us feel like guests in our own home. The courses were timed well, flavors were balanced, and the presentation was Instagram-worthy. Even our picky eaters were impressed! It wasn?t just about the food?it was the whole experience. The chef answered questions, engaged with the kids, and worked quietly in the background when needed. We didn?t have to clean up anything. It was stress-free, warm, and delicious. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to impress guests without the work.


img 2/5.0 08, Jul 2024

Communication Was Lacking

Booked On Thyme for a small anniversary dinner and while the idea was promising, the execution fell short. We had discussed dietary preferences clearly in advance, yet some of the ingredients included weren?t suitable. Tried reaching out before the event to confirm a detail, but didn?t hear back in time. The chef arrived late, which made the entire evening feel rushed. The food was decent, not bad at all, but it lacked the personalized touch we were hoping for. Cleanup was done properly, which was appreciated. I really wanted to love the experience, but the missteps in communication and timing made it hard to overlook. For a premium service like this, I expected more professionalism. It wasn?t a disaster, just didn?t meet the expectations they set. With a little more organization, this could have been a memorable evening.

Gourmet Experience at Home

On Thyme provided a five?star gourmet dinner in my own kitchen. Every dish had depth and character. Loved it.


img 4/5.0 09, Jun 2024

Lovely Experience with Small Quirks

Overall, we were very happy with the On Thyme service. The chef was punctual, polite, and handled our home kitchen with ease. The food was flavorful and the presentation was clearly done with care. Our only complaint is that one course had a little too much salt, and the appetizer wasn?t as warm as we hoped. But everything else was excellent. The lemon tart at the end was so good we were fighting over the last bite. Cleanup was handled professionally and we appreciated the chef walking us through each dish. It felt both luxurious and comfortable. Despite the couple of hiccups, we?re already looking at dates to do it again. Very good experience and worth the try.


img 5/5.0 19, May 2024

Professionalism and Flavor Combined

We were skeptical at first, unsure if a personal chef experience would be worth it?but On Thyme blew us away. The process was seamless from start to finish. Menu planning was easy, and the chef was communicative, friendly, and clearly passionate. The food was plated beautifully and tasted even better. The herb-crusted salmon was a standout, and the roasted vegetables had a perfect char. My husband?s dietary restriction was handled without issue. The kitchen was cleaner than before the meal started. What really impressed us was the personalized touch; it didn?t feel like a generic dinner?it felt like our dinner. Great for special events or when you just want to treat yourself. Would definitely do it again.


img 3/5.0 06, May 2024

Tasty but Temperature Issue

Meals were tasty, but main dish arrived a bit lukewarm. Still pleasant, but served hot it would?ve been perfect.


img 4/5.0 26, Apr 2024

Smooth Process, Lovely Dinner

Booking was easy and communication was clear. Dinner was enjoyable with no hiccups. Will consider again.

A Beautifully Orchestrated Dinner

On Thyme created an unforgettable evening for us. The chef came prepared, used fresh, vibrant ingredients, and transformed our kitchen into a fine dining space. Each dish?from the creamy risotto starter to the tender filet mignon?was executed to perfection. The dessert, a berry compote over mascarpone, was a showstopper. We didn?t lift a finger. The chef cleaned everything and left the space spotless. What stood out most was the attention to detail: textures, flavors, timing. Everything felt tailored to our tastes. It was professional without feeling stiff?exactly what we wanted. This is the kind of service that sets a new standard for what home dining can be. We?ve already booked again for our anniversary next month.

Great Flavors, Slight Room to Improve

The dinner was excellent overall. The meat was cooked to perfection, and the salad had a great vinaigrette that pulled it all together. Our only feedback would be slightly smaller gaps between courses. Still, the food was hot, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The chef was polite and respectful. A very good experience we?d gladly do again.

We weren?t sure what to expect, but On Thyme surpassed all expectations. The food was restaurant quality, and the entire process was stress-free.

Great Gift Idea

Booked On Thyme as a surprise gift for my parents, and they absolutely loved it. The chef was respectful, wore a mask, and made everything fresh right in their kitchen. They raved about the lamb and the molten chocolate cake. It?s a unique experience that made for a thoughtful gift. Would just love to see more vegetarian options.

Truly Personalized Dining

What impressed us most was how personal the whole experience felt. The chef asked great questions beforehand and really customized the meal to our taste. The food was delicious and beautifully plated. The entire evening felt seamless, and we were able to focus on each other instead of prepping or cleaning. It?s the kind of luxury worth repeating.

Almost Perfect

Everything from the booking process to the food itself was smooth. The chef arrived early to set up, explained the dishes, and was friendly throughout. The food tasted great, though one side dish could?ve used a bit more seasoning. Regardless, the main entr?e made up for it. Presentation and professionalism were spot on. Will consider rebooking for birthdays.

Dishes sounded fancy but tasted bland. Presentation was alright, but flavors didn?t come through. Not what we?d call gourmet.


img 3/5.0 25, Apr 2023
