  • “I mean...I'm looking forward to the day Matthew opens a restaurant and I can go eat his food on a regular basis. Our party was amazing, thanks to Matthew, and we haven't stopped talking about the lobster risotto or ribeye/sauce yet. Looking forward to hiring him again!”

  • “We hired Ripley Hospitality to cater our three day company retreat and could not have been more impressed. The food was phenomenal and the service was second to none. If you want to feed a group, or just pamper yourself, give Ripley a call.”

  • Chef Matthew cooked an amazing dinner for my sisters bachelorette of 16 girls! We had some vegetarians in the group, and he was more than accommodating. He was quick, efficient, great banter with the group, and left the kitchen cleaner than we arrived! I would recommend him to everyone. We enjoyed a very fresh salad, a delicious gnocchi dish, chicken and eggplant steaks, and a very yummy sweet treat to finish. I couldn’t recommend Chef Matthew more!!

  • Matt prepared a private meal for 11 in our home. He prepared a delicious charred eggplant, charred bok choy and potatoes confit. He catered to several food allergies with ease. He has also starred on Food Network in Cut Throat Kitchen. Phenomenal chef! Highly recommend!
