We had Jeanette with the Cornelius location cater a party for us and both the food and Jeanette’s service was off the charts! The food she recommended was amazing. I highly recommend their catering side for your next party.

Had the Ahi Tuna Salad, maybe the best salad I have ever had, the tuna was perfect and the freshly l
Sliced ginger was exceptional. Sofia was our waitress and was amazing, the rest of the staff and management were over the top. I wish all restaurants were like Fresh Chef Kitchen.
