Richard Perot Chef Services

We rented a house in Santa Rosa for a family birthday celebration and found Chef Perot through a recommendation of the house owners. We could not have been happier! The meal he prepared was beyond expectation. He was able to please the palates of the entire crew from ages 7 to 75. We were all still talking about how amazing the meal was the next day! His Moroccan Spiced Lamb Meatballs and Smoked Duck Eggrolls are not to be missed and I think his Seared Wild Salmon with Chive Beurre Blanc was the best salmon I’ve ever had. Beyond his talent and ability to produce so many beautiful dishes, he is an easy going man who clearly cares about your experience and loves what he does. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

There are few times when you feel that you get more than you pay for in this day and age… Well this was one of the few times that holds true. Working with Chef Perot was a great experience! I had to put together a menu for 10 people during a visit to the Napa area. This, I must say, was quite an undertaking that Chef Perot helped me to seamlessly manage — from the first email to the final desert. Chef’s attention to detail and skill in the kitchen was unsurpassed. The dishes he served were both amazingly prepared and artfully presented. Please do not hesitate to contact him for an intimate dinner or a group outing — you won’t be disappointed!

Arriving in St. Helena for a week long trip with a group of 10 friends & family, there can be an overwhelming amount of tastes & desires to cater to. Months prior to our trip, however, we knew our meal with Chef Richard Perot would be special. With attention to detail & much care through correspondence our mouths were already salivating!
From the glazed porkbelly sliders to the maple-​soy short rib that was lovingly braised for 2 days, Chef Perot met every expectation & more of our meat lovers.
And with talent & soul, Chef Perot wowed our taste buds with a refreshing corn soup with basil oil crème fraîche & crispy prosciutto, which warmed us all from the inside out.
From the appetizers, to the 2 main courses, & decadent dessert, all 10 of us were extremely pleased!
Our experience with Chef Richard Perot was wonderful for these weary wine sampling travelers & will be remembered!
Thank you again!

Outstanding, professional and talented are the first three words that come to mind when describing Chef Richard Perot who we hired to prepare a 4 course meal for four of us while staying in a house in St. Helena for a weekend. Richard was easy to communicate with and offered great appetizers and entrees to choose from to create the menu for the evening. Our whole dining experience was highly pleasing and the food was delectable. My husband thought the grilled beef tenderloin with mushroom jus was the best he has ever had. Having Chef Richard cook for us was at the top of our list for the best thing that we did that weekend. It was so enjoyable, relaxing, fun and memorable. The food was amazing. Just thinking about the seared sea bass and crispy prosciutto and the duck breast with currant & syrah reduction is making me want to do it all over again. I highly recommend Richard Perot Chef Services.

I was searching for a top chef in napa for my wife’s birthday, called a few wineries for advice… Desiree Del Dotto highly recommended Richard, and that was the decision I made. I couldn’t be happier. Richard came over at around 230pm on a Friday eve, and we sat down for what I’d call a Michelin two star equivalent six course meal. Our server kicked it off with an assortment of white glove style appetizers, all of which were artistic and delicious. My fave was the warm dates with a dollop of a tangy cheese and I’m not sure what else, but it was amazing. Champagne was perfect with it. Then we had a series of small plates, paired up with whites, then light Reds, followed by a deep bold red. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Recently, my husband and I and four other couples had Chef Perot cater dinner at a house that we rented near Sonoma, California while on vacation. Of all the dinners we had at various restaurants on our trip, the dinner that Richard prepared for us was by far the best that we had while in Sonoma! The hors d’oeuvres, two dinner courses and dessert were fabulously delicious and the presentation was beautiful! We so enjoyed meeting Richard and his staff — they were all very professional, positive and fun! We will definitely hire Richard again when we get back down to Napa or Sonoma. He was simply «The Best» and we highly recommend him!

Richard is EXCELLENT in every sense of the word. We recently rented a house in Napa for the weekend with some friends and our toddler, and decided it would be fun to stay in for the first night while everyone got settled. We hired Richard to come in and make dinner for our group and it was BY FAR the best part of our stay. He is an excellent chef — everything from the starters (warm goat cheese appetizers, delicious mushroom arancini in a spicy sauce) to the seasonal, fresh salad to to the perfectly cooked fish over lentils with kale to the UNREAL kahlua brownie banana splits was divine. Richard was also a great addition to our home… he is fun to be with, interesting and easy going. We really enjoyed sharing an evening with him — and we certainly enjoyed his cooking. We would recommend Richard for any gathering — he is a talented and thoughtful chef.
