”Exceptional dining experiences every time I have had the pleasure of participating in several private dining occasions catered by chef Eddie, and each experience has been consistently outstanding. His "Eklectic Kitchen" offers beautifully crafted international cuisine with an authentic Costa Rican twist. I've enjoyed his Asian, Italian, Greek, and local dishes, all prepared with skillful technique and creative flair. As someone who requires gluten-friendly options, I appreciate how Chef Eddie adapts his menus without compromising taste or creativity. Every dish is as flavorful and beautifully presented as the original versions. Beyond his culinary skills, Chef Eddie's personable and entertaining personality makes meal preparation part of the dining experience. His combination of culinary expertise and engaging character makes him exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Eddie's private chef services for anyone seeking restaurant-quality cuisine with personalized service in the comfort of their home.”

”I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Eddie’s home, Casa Eco De Mar, more times than I can count and each visit has been as unforgettable as the last. Tucked up in the mountains of Portasol with a sunset view and jungle breeze, it’s one of the best places to share a meal with good friends. Chef Eddie’s home isn’t just a backdrop it’s part of the experience. From the moment you arrive, you know that you are entering a hidden sanctuary where food, music, nature, and personal connection all come together. The dishes are always creative and beautifully presented, and the vibe is pure pura vida: relaxed, genuine, and full of flavor in every sense. My wife and I have enjoyed private dinners there with friends, quiet nights as a couple, and everything in between. Whether he’s cooking something new or one of his signature favorites, Eddie always pours heart and soul into every detail. If you’re lucky enough to be invited to a meal at Eco De Mar — go. You won’t want to leave.”
