Easter Catering in Chicago

G Market Chef catered our son and future daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner in the Chicago West Loop area and they were wonderful from the very first phone call. We worked with Frank and Jorge to create a menu that accommodated food restrictions and allergies among our family and guests. The venue had only limited kitchen facilities, but they handled that challenge with ease. The food was incredible. So many guests stopped to tell us how delicious dinner was and everything was ready exactly when promised. Their bartending team also did a terrific job serving our signature drinks and other cocktails. Because the event was on a rooftop, we had to follow venue and district rules, including no glassware. Frank and Jorge took care of every detail. They even visited the venue a month ahead to get familiar with the layout, since it was their first time working there. We planned everything by email and phone from the West Coast and the whole process was easy. I would call G Market Chef again without hesitation for our next Chicago event. If I could give more than five stars, I would!

As an event director who has worked with many food vendors throughout the years, these guys know what they are doing!! They are efficient, professional, realistic, and serve fantastic food. They will be my go-to for all of my future upscale events in Chicago and they should be for you too. :)

Some of the best steak I’ve had in a very long time. Very generous portions. Delicious food packaged professionally. Perfect catering for any event, big or small. Super happy and will def order again soon!

My number 1 choice for holiday catering. Frank is incredibly friendly and everything I’ve tasted is incredibly high quality. I can not recommend him enough.

Frank catered an event we hosted today. The food was absolutely delicious, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. We look forward to having him cater future events. Thanks!!

Our family reunion dinner was fabulous. Everyone enjoyed the food, Brandon's presentations, and his sense of humor. Many in our family said the food was some of the best they'd ever had. In addition, we appreciated the care and attention given to our family members' food allergies. It was a wonderful evening! We know that preparing food in one kitchen at our location and serving it in another was challenging for Chef and his assistant. We realized we should have added another assistant to make that process more efficient. However it didn't detract from our experience. We highly recommend GMarket Chef and will definitely use them again in the future.

Our first event with GMarket and I am thoroughly impressed. This team was excellent across the board! The food was delicious, beautiful presentation, great customer service, communication and execution! You guys rock! And I’m so excited to work with all again! An absolute GEM.

The team did an amazing job start to finish catering brunch the day after our wedding. Everyone was on time, everyone was in a good mood, prep went great, the food was amazing, and the team was thoughtful and engaging with our guests throughout the event. Thank you for creating the perfect end to our wedding weekend.

I planned our daughter’s graduation celebration in Hyde Park from DC, and we had a wonderful experience working with GMarket Chef!! Frank designed a fun, vegetarian-focused cocktail party menu with tequila-based cocktails centered around our daughter’s preferences. The food was delicious and the drinks were a huge hit! The catering team that arrived on site were so punctual, kind, and professional. All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was. I highly recommend this catering company!!

Gmarket Chefs was an outstanding partner for our National Restaurant Show presence. Frank and his team did an exceptional job executing our recipes and bringing our vision of the showcased applications to life. Every dish was prepared with great attention to detail, helping us highlight our products exactly as intended. Their support went far beyond simply preparing and delivering food. They truly felt like an extension of our team and were fully invested in ensuring we were successful. What impressed us most was Frank and his team's expertise, professionalism, flexibility, and problem-solving abilities in managing large-scale sample preparation while seamlessly coordinating through the many complexities that come with a major industry event. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and would highly recommend Gmarket Chefs to any company looking for a catering team that delivers not only excellent food, but also true operational support and collaboration at future trade shows.

We hired GMarket Catering for a large event with more than 180 attendees, including two lunches, two dinners, and coffee/tea service throughout the event and they were absolutely amazing! We’ve been hosting this event for 18 years, and this was the first time we were able to make EVERYONE happy with the food. Not only was the food excellent, but the service completely exceeded our expectations. Every staff member was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about every little detail. They took the time to listen to everyone, even our “trouble makers” 😄, and handled everything with patience and kindness. And the biggest surprise? They even took our tablecloths home and washed them for us. Seriously… what company does that? If you’re planning an event, don’t waste your time looking elsewhere...hire these guys!!! They made the entire experience stress-free. Truly a “set it and forget it” kind of deal!

We hired Gmarket Personal Chef for a big family birthday party, and everything was perfect. They offer a lot of great choices and everything we picked was cooked, prepared and plated beautifully. We had a wide variety of guests and everyone was raving about the food. It really made the party extra special because my husband and I could mingle with our guests, relax and have a good time without having to worry about the food. There is nothing like having excellent food to set the mood for a great party.

We used office catering in Chicago for a department celebration and the whole process felt smooth from start to finish. The drop off buffet had plenty of options and everything tasted homemade. Chef Patrick was a joy to work with and there was good, clear communication throughout the event. People are still talking about the lunch!

GMarket catered an office happy hour and were great all around. The Kentucky Derby themed food was excellent and the bartending was fantastic. Highly recommended!

We brought them in for an office training day for about 40 people and it honestly could not have gone smoother. The buffet showed up right on time, everything was set up clean and labeled so people could grab food between sessions without any confusion. Chef Patrick checked in ahead of time and stayed on top of communication, which made our side of planning easy. The food was fresh, portions were solid, and even some of our pickier coworkers went back for seconds. I would definitely book them again for another busy week.

I’ve had the chance to try dishes prepared by Chef Charley and get a behind-the-scenes look at what the G Market Chef team does — and I was genuinely impressed. The food I tasted was flavorful, well-prepared, and clearly made with attention to detail. Beyond that, Charley is incredibly personable and passionate about his craft, which reflects well on the entire team. From what I’ve seen, communication is smooth and professional, and it’s easy to get in touch and understand what they offer. They’ve walked me through menus and concepts, and it’s clear they take pride in delivering a solid experience. If the quality I experienced is any indication, I’d definitely recommend G Market Chef to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality catering option.

GMarket organized a corporate meal for our workplace and it turned out fantastic. The dishes were high-quality and fit the corporate atmosphere perfectly. Communication was smooth and the staff was very helpful throughout. We would definitely hire them again.

We engaged Gmarket for my partner's 60th Birthday Party of 40 guests AND lets just say the guests are STILL raving about the food ! Frank put together a mouthwatering menu and the Chefs: Charlie and Johnny delivered! They were friendly, professional and we were able to enjoy the P A R T Y ! I recommend them without hesitation and would use them again in a heartbeat.

What an amazing experience! Frank cooked a wonderful meal for us that was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Every course felt thoughtful and perfectly executed, and it truly made the evening special. The sushi was some of the best I have ever had! Not only was the food incredible, but Frank was also professional, friendly, and made the whole experience feel effortless. It was such a treat to enjoy a restaurant-quality dinner in the comfort of our own home. We would absolutely recommend him and can’t wait to book him again!!

Chef Frank is an incredible and passionate chef! He is very creative and everything that he crafts is delicious! He created a custom menu for our occasion and knocked it out of the park!

I appreciated how straightforward everything was with this family dinner catering. The setup was neat and decorative. Chef Patrick answered questions quickly and the food made the event come together great.

Honestly one of the easier vendors I have worked with. Corporate catering for about 60 people and zero issues. The hot buffet was right on schedule and clearly labeled. Chefs Frank & Charley kept me updated and there was good clear communication throughout the event.

Great office catering in Chicago option. The small bites were assembled in plenty of time and tasted awesome. G market was easy to coordinate with and we would definitely use them again.

Professional - Responsive - Dedicated staff and DELICIOUS food. We hosted 15 of our closest loved ones for Thanksgiving and decided we wanted to sit back and enjoy the experience. Enter, Gmarket. From the first interaction, Frank inspires confidence, which is vital when booking such services through email communications alone. The responsiveness really helped seal the deal for us. But without a stellar menu, we would have never booked. The menu spoke to us - difficult to do for our crowd. We have Napa winemakers and hospitality industry from all over the nation and foodies in our group who have ultra high standards. Chef Bobby WOWED us with the execution - on time - friendly - professional and respectful of our home. But the food won the day. Our friends kept looking around the table at each other with very pleasantly surprised, hushed tones, repeating: This is SO good. It was almost a primal response . Kim was our bartender and she did everything from mind our dog to mind our children. The entire experience with Gmarket from start to finish was truly a smashing success. I highly recommend this team for any special event when service, professionalism and delicious, delectably impressive food is in order. Thank you for the memories, Gmarket!

I came across Gmarket from a google search - and thought wow ALL five stars?!? And my experience was absolutely the same!! I wanted to plan a birthday dinner at my home and hadn't worked with a private chef before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The short of it is I was blown away by Frank and his team from start to finish!! Frank was very responsive after my first inquiry and subsequent (read: MANY) requests. He proposed an amazing menu while accommodating several severe allergy requests. I changed the number of guests several times, which he also just rolled with. And then (!), I realized I REQUESTED THE WRONG DATE. A major error on my part. I don't recommend doing that, but Frank was also somehow able to accommodate my date change. I was incredibly grateful for that!! The dinner itself with Chef Charley was INSANELY DELICIOUS. We had an amazing round of starters, followed by a multi-course dinner and dessert. Everything was just SO, SO good. So flavorful. Cooked just perfectly. And there was plenty of food for all of the guests. (I was worried that maybe there wouldn't be generously sized portions, but this was not the case whatsoever.) On top of that, Chef Charley himself was an awesome guy and I really enjoyed working with him. We spoke before the dinner to run through everything, he helped make the dinner layout look gorgeous with some extra props I wasn't even expecting, and his cleanup job was A+. Icing on the cake for an incredibly talented chef!!! I am truly looking forward to my next opportunity to work with Frank, Charley and their team again!

Frank, Jessie, and their team catered for our engagement party and it was amazing! The food and the atmosphere they created were incredible - highly recommend. His bartender Phil and all the servers were great also!

Phenomenal food, service and friendliness to us and our guests. They cleaned the kitchen and all work areas before they left. Will use again. A+++

Charlie and Patrick were incredible! restaurant-quality food and seamless service. They arrived early, stayed organized, and made sure every guest had something delicious. Highly recommend for private dinners and small events!! :)

I cannot say enough good thinks about Chef Frank and his team. They have now catered five events for me--including a bachelorette party on a boat(!)--and everything has gone off without a hitch. Compliments galore. Chef Frank and his team NEVER miss a beat and the food is always delicious. Most professional folks I've ever worked with. We'll never go to another caterer, again. P.S. Absolutely get the lobster rolls. :-)

We had an awesome experience with the Gmarket team for our recent event. We chose a dropoff option with setup for 60 people. The assortment of sandwiches was DELICIOUS and guests were talking about them for days after. The setup took less than an hour and left us free to wrap up final details for our guests. Highly recommend!

I'm not normally an online reviewer, but shoutout to the team at Gmarket! They handled a birthday dinner party in our backyard and knocked it out of the park. Frank was incredibly easy to work with setting the terms, designing the menu and arranging a few supplemental items. Brandon the chef was excellent the day-of. The food was exceptional, the service outstanding. It met and exceeded my expectations (and my wife was over the moon). Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend.

Event was amazing. We truly enjoyed food and the service. Everything was perfect. Food and presentation were so good, all our guests really enjoyed it. Both chefs Charlie and Carson were very helpful and accommodating. Truly recommend it and will contact again for any future events.

Amazing spread and great communication and service from start to finish. Would highly recommend for any event or occasion!

Great service and quality. Solid communication from Frank throughout the ordering and set up process. His team took care of everything and all we had to do was eat and drink!

Frank and team did a great job. The menu was curated to the needs of the event and the food and staff were amazing.

Great service and food. Frank was amazing to work with. The menu selections were perfect. Our guests were raving about the food. His staff who came to set up was professional and did a great job of setting up the food. Impressed all the way around!

We had the best experience with Gmarket personal chef! Our chef was awesome and truly made the experience memorable.

We used Gmarket for our 30-person vow renewal that was held at our home. Frank was wonderful to work with leading up to the event. We even had to reschedule at the last minute due to a serious illness, and Frank was beyond understanding and accommodating. When we were finally able to hold our event, the two chefs that prepared and served the food were unbelievably kind and personable. They answered questions from our interested guests and created the most gorgeous spread. They were very careful to keep meat and vegetarian items separate at my request. Everyone absolutely raved about the food. Even my super picky dad said that it was the best food he has had in Chicago! They left our kitchen sparkling. We will not hesitate to use Gmarket again in the future.

Our nonprofit hosted a small reception for program supporters, and it was a wonderful experience working with GMarket from start to finish! Frank was communicative, flexible, and helpful throughout the process and Chef Brandon and Charlie did an excellent job at the event. The food was delicious, the set-up looked great, and we will certainly be repeat customers. Highly recommend!

I usede Frank for my mother's 85th Birthday party. Frank was wonderful to work with and understood what I needed for a variety of taste. The day of the party the chef and his crew were fabulous to work with and the food was fantastic. They brought everything and cleaned up. Plenty of leftovers that they packaged. I would highly recommend Frank and his team.

We had a great experience with Gmarket Chef! This allowed us to have a wonderful, relaxing and memorable family dinner. Frank was very easy to work and plan with. The food was plentiful and most delicious. Chef Irene did an amazing job of setting up, preparing, serving a phenomenal dinner. The kitchen was spotless when she left. Highly recommended!

We used Gmarket for East holiday catering and it was delicious! Everything was very high quality and delicious. Highly recommend Gmarket and Frank for drop off catering needs!

We absolutely LOVE Gmarket! Amazing drop off catering with excellent customer service. Delicious, quality food is prepared with full reheating instructions. We tried brunch catering for Easter this year and were blown away by our tasty meal! Highly recommend Gmarket for all your catering needs!

We used Frank and his team at Gmarket Chef for drop off catering this morning and were blown away! The food was delicious but the menu was also incredibly creative. Every item had a fun twist. My favorite dish was the Cinnamon Toast Crunch French toast.

We had a fabulous experience working with Frank and Irene! Frank was easy to talk with and plan the menu and Irene did a wonderful job preparing the meal! It was delicious and beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better time! Thank you!

Brandon and Frank did a fantastic job on a catered work party. Highly recommend and will use them again!

Frank has a great team of people. They really bring the luxury restaurant feel straight into our home. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a personal chef.

I had such an amazing experience with Chef Irene. Great customer service and an extremely delicious dinner.

Excellent food and customer service. Highly recommend. They always go above and beyond!
