Chef Kerem was extraordinary. I planned an intimate dinner for my father and his wife for his 60th birthday. Chef Kerem was excellent from the start with prompt communication designing a menu that fit the brief perfectly. He was accommodating with a date change and made the process so simple I could organise it from another state. …
