"The Butler & The Chef is a jewelbox - an absolute treasure. The ambiance, the attentive staff, the killer lattes, the decadent baked goods -- and of course the delicious & generous entrees: it's truly the perfect bistro."

"Dear Joel,
My Husband and I had the wonderful experience of eating brunch at your Bistro about a month ago. What a delight!! The BEST food we've had in months. Thank you and your great staff for the food and the perfect service."

"Dear staff of The Butler & The Chef,
THANK YOU for a wonderful anniversary party. Susan and I and our guests had a wonderful time. Everything was great and beyond our expectations - the service, the food, the decor. We couldn’t have had a better anniversary celebration. Thank you for making it so memorable.

Here are some pictures so that you, too, can relive the event which we will never forget! We are looking forward to our next “excuse” to have a celebration with you. . . .for 'we’ll be back!'”

Susan & Jerry, Los Altos

"Wayne and Joel,
Thank you both for making Friday's dinner a rousing success. The emails and personal thank yous we've received from our guests clearly suggest that a VERY good time was had by everyone. Also, it was Alain's opinion (shared by Gary) that the Beef Bourguignon was terrific on Friday, and maybe even better on Saturday. I was out that evening, but the lucky dogs got to have it not once, but twice!

Thanks again for all that you've done to make both events a success. I enjoyed working with both of you"
