ilixr Creative

Working with Simon and the team at ilixr creative was an absolute dream from start to finish. From the very first conversation, Simon’s passion for food and his dedication to creating a truly personal experience were unmistakable. He took the time to understand our story, our taste, and the kind of atmosphere we wanted to create. What he and his team delivered went far beyond a meal; it was a culinary experience that told our story through flavor, texture, and presentation. Every single dish was executed to perfection. The tasting menu felt effortless and refined, full of creativity yet completely grounded in flavor. Our guests are still talking about it, not only because everything was delicious, but because the whole dinner felt like a shared moment of discovery. It was elegant, memorable, and unlike anything we have ever experienced at a wedding. What impressed us most about Simon was his calm energy and his ability to make something so complex feel seamless. He was present in every detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that each guest felt taken care of. It is rare to find someone who blends artistry, precision, and warmth in the way he does. Simon, thank you for giving us a dinner that felt like us. You exceeded every expectation and created something we will never forget. If you are looking for a chef who will transform your event into an unforgettable experience, ilixr creative is the definition of excellence.

I cannot recommend Simon Davies and his team at Illixr strongly enough. From my very first conversation with Simon, I knew he was the right choice. Unlike other caterers I spoke with, he truly listened, taking the time to understand not just my vision, but what my friends would genuinely appreciate, and then thoughtfully created a menu around that. It was at that moment that I knew this would be an incredible culinary experience and that I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Simon’s background as a former Alinea executive chef was unmistakable in every detail. The food was breathtaking. It was refined, imaginative, and executed at a true 3-Michelin star level. My guests were absolutely blown away and are still talking about it. Before the event, Simon personally came to view the space to ensure flawless execution. Perhaps even more impressive was his staff’s attention to detail and level of service. This was a birthday celebration for 65 guests, yet, as I looked around, I could see every single person felt genuinely cared for and taken care of. The evening unfolded seamlessly, with a level of polish and ease that is incredibly rare at this scale. This was not simply catering. It was a world class culinary experience delivered with passion. I would recommend Simon Davies and his team for any event without hesitation.

Simon and his team at Ilixr catered our wedding this May and we cannot recommend them enough. Food was a big priority for us at our wedding and we wanted our guests to have an experience they would not forget. From the first moment I contacted Simon, I was impressed by his quick responses and communication. He helped craft a great menu (and signature cocktails) based on our preferences and requests. One of the best parts was having our tasting at our house so we could enjoy all of the exceptional dishes. We elected for a grazing table during cocktail hour and family style meal for dinner. Our guests are still complementing us on the food at our wedding! While the food is certainly the star of the show, Simon and his team were meticulous with planning every detail down to the plates and presentation. The servers on the day of were exceptional and attentive. I would not hesitate to recommend Simon and his team at Ilixr to anyone - they are masters at what they do, but also extremely gracious and a pleasure to work with.

Simon and his crew really came through for us at our baby shower! Simon is so creative, worked with us on the menu, and handled drinks perfectly. It was really awesome to have a mocktail option and it tasted so good. My guests (even the bougie foodies) were raving about everything and the presentation was so pretty. 10/10 would recommend!

What an awesome experience and great idea for getting together with friends or family. Twelve fam n friends had the 7 course dinner ..... all had different opinions on which course was the best but all agreed each one was outstanding. Simon was gracious and informative and they did a great job . Well be looking for Simon's pop-up events in the future and hope to this again for another special event

Simon makes magic. Each dish was incredibly creative, outstandingly presented and brought together intricate flavors that dazzled with every course. He was kind and playful, but also left us to enjoy our intimate gathering. It was the best meal of my life and a celebration we will always remember.

So elegant, so delicious, and so easy to host a gathering featuring Simon and his team in our own kitchen! Having Simon cook for us is the ultimate treat —we’ve hosted dinner for four and dinner for twelve with spot-on wine pairings, and it’s always seamless, inventive, incredibly delicious, and always served with impressive creativity and finesse! Truly an evening like no other!!

• 7 person birthday dinner • food cooked and served in our home kitchen • April, 2025 When you hear “3 Michelin star chef” you have certain expectations, expectations that, honestly, seem destined to be disappointed. Sure, they’re great in their kitchen with their team and their tools, but how well does that translate to food in my home? In the case of Simon and team, my dangerously high expectations were exceeded. From concept to plating to execution, this meal was perfect. This was a 75th birthday and came with certain unusual dietary needs (namely, maximizing flavor while minimizing grams of fat) and ilixer knocked it out of the park. It’s been three days and we’ve been texting and talking about it every day since. We’re already planning on when we can do it again. This was a special occasion and came with a higher dollar amount, but compared to renting a private room at the city’s better restaurants on a Saturday night, it was a steal. I’m trying to write the review that would’ve convinced me, so if you’re wondering if Simon and the Ilixer team are worth it, imagine this is your future self telling you that they are.
