What Our Clients Say

Trusted by restaurants and vineyards who’ve seen lasting improvements in their business.

“As someone who attends wine events very frequently, It is without hesitation to say that Chef Hewins is executing the best food in the State of Georgia.”

Joe Best
Owner, Quality Wine and Spirits

“We had the goal of attracting tourists to Southern Puerto Rico utilizing golf and gastronomy. We chose Steve because of his team building and culinary skills. He and his team immediately saw that the labor pool on the island would be a challenge and hit the ground running by interviewing over 350 people at the department of labor, developed our FOH and BOH teams, instilled a true sense of pride and excellence, and brought us to being named the best new restaurant on the entire island in our first year. Miraculous!”

Fao Serralles
CEO, Don Q Rum Company, Ponce Puerto Rico

“We didn’t ask Chef Steve to help us, he asked if he could provide cooking classes to our veterans and we were ecstatic to have him. He immediately took the strengths that veterans have, leadership, pride, and teamwork, and taught our vets how to apply all of these qualities into a simple meal. We are extremely grateful for Steve Hewins.”

Denise Leaks
Director, Joseph and Sarah Caring for Veterans Inc

“Steve was amazing! He took 100’s of college students at Ga Tech and taught them to embrace the kitchen, take pride in their food, and share it with their family and friends. He created a “Top Chef” competition that has continued on for years. Great for morale and the competitive spirit in young people. Super grateful for his everlasting impact.”
