Le Gourmet Kitchen Ltd.

I have worked with Bruce Colucci at the Le Gourmet Kitchen twice over the last 18 years. When we were shopping for a home in Orange County, we saw a kitchen remodel he did and knew he was someone we would love to work with at some point. Just after buying our home in Irvine in 2006, we had that opportunity. We commissioned Bruce to redo the first floor, completely reimaging the floor plan by turning our kitchen and family room into a great room. I still receive compliments on so many of the special elements he added, particularly a custom backsplash that is incorporated above the kitchen counter and fireplace, the subzero refrigerator and wine cabinet, and the lovely tile and wood flooring. When my downstairs bathroom was destroyed by a sewer line backed up, I was thrilled that Bruce was willing to take on this smaller project that entailed creating a whole new bathroom from scratch. Once again, he designed something that is elegant and functional that I just love. Bruce is fun to work with and has wonderful artisans for the different parts of the project. You will not be disappointed to enlist Bruce and Le Gourmet Kitchen in your next project!

We've had the pleasure of working with Bruce from Le Gourmet Kitchen on the design of our cabinetry for a significant home remodel. Bruce has been outstanding in every way. His talent for visualization and design has been invaluable in helping us to envision the final result. What's more, he has handled our numerous iterations and changes with utmost professionalism and patience. His hard work and dedication to our project have been impressive. We highly recommend Bruce to anyone in need of top-notch design services for their kitchen or home remodel.

Bruce and his team helped make our dreams for our new kitchen a reality! He took our ideas and made them work within our budget. Bruce was on site multiple times many days of the project and always available to answer our questions. Bruce worked with excellence and exceeded our expectations. We will be recommending Bruce and Le Gourmet Kitchen to others and are so grateful for their excellent work!

I have been the Cabinetry Representative for two cabinet lines for Le Gourmet for a couple of years now. They have been professional, customer service oriented, eager to learn and really wonderful people to work with! Their attention to detail is impeccable as is their commitment to their clientele. You will not go wrong working with them and their team!

This is the second kitchen that I've used Bruce from Le Gourmet Kitchens. The first one was 20 years ago and Bruce's design was over and above. when it was time for a new project, there was no doubt who was going to take care of that for us! this one was much smaller but equally impressive as we knew it would be. Thank you Bruce! my wife loves it all from the design to the function and all the details. Happy wife...happy life!

Bruce Colucci and Le Gourmet were referred to us by two sets of friends. We had the benefit of seeing his designs and craftsmanship in their homes and were immediately impressed with Bruce after our first meeting. Bruce took the time to get to know us and offered suggestions along the way to guide decision making. The original scope of our project was to be a kitchen remodel and to put in new flooring throughout our home. We had a double sided fireplace separating our kitchen/dining room we removed, expanding the scope into a multi-room remodel, with new electrical, plumbing and lighting, flooring. Bruce was patient with us and worked with us to come up with a high class design that reflects our personality, is functional and stunning. Having Bruce with his keen eye for design, was the difference between a lovely space to high design with specialized elements throughout creating a WOW factor, one of which is a unique, stylish island, with a mahogany counter top. We worked at home during the remodel and had the pleasure of meeting the different crews. The crew are highly skilled and take great pride in their work. Bruce has been engaged and accessible every step of the way. He has a strong work ethic and is quick to address issues and missteps. We are a few weeks away from completion and cannot wait to enjoy our beautiful, new space. We highly recommend Bruce and plan to use him for future projects. Thank you, The Wada's

We love our new kitchen remodel! Bruce was the best person to work with and delivered from beginning to end. He has an amazing eye for design and presented us with an unbelievable kitchen design that provides everything we wanted in our new kitchen. We spend all of our time in our kitchen now and love to entertain and cook even more. His work crew was prompt and efficient every day of the job and if we ever had any questions, Bruce was always there to help. He was very thoughtful about our budget and guided us on purchasing all of our new appliances. This was by far the BEST investment in our home and we absolutely love our new kitchen! Thank you Bruce Colucci and Le Gourmet Kitchen!

I'm a technical drafter, and have worked directly with both Bruce Colucci & Jonathan Salmon for about a year now on various projects. They continue to impress me with their outstanding professionalism, immense industry knowledge, acute attention to detail, and resourcefulness. Bruce and Jonathan will never fail to provide the greatest commitment and care on every project, no matter how big or small. It is evident how important their clients are to them. I highly recommend!

Le Gourmet did exactly what they promised. All of their recommendations worked into creating a user friendly kitchen. We were extremely happy with their responses when issues occurred that were not anticipated. I would recommend them to anyone.

Jonathan did an amazing job in my bathroom! I ordered a "floating" cabinet to be raised off the floor. In addition I ordered a beautiful marble top with raised sinks and in wall faucets! The team he sent in were professional, courteous, and did an expert installation in a timely manner. Jonathon also measured mine and my husbands heights so that my sinks were at the proper level. Love my updated bathroom! Will defiantly use Le Gourmet again!

My wife and I enjoyed working with Bruce Colucci at Le Gourmet Kitchen starting in 2003 when he designed and installed our kitchen, two bathrooms and laundry room. At the time we were remodeling the entire home so Bruce met with other contractors to coordinate his concept and gave us plenty of time to make import decisions. The Le Gourmet Kitchen team was there for us every step of the way. We were so pleased with their service, that we didn’t hesitate to contact Bruce again when we recently needed to replace our refrigerator that required modifying the overhead cabinet and sprucing up several other arears of the kitchen after 17 years of use. Bruce’s attention to detail and follow-up were outstanding, and we would not hesitate to recommend him and Le Gourmet Kitchen.

Bruce , Jonathan and staff are truly a class act . Not only talented and seasoned professionals , but truly nice people . Wonderful to work with and very commutative on the many projects we have collaborated on . Many designers I work with approach issues that sometimes arise on projects as obstacles; Bruce and Jonathan work with “ no problems only solutions” credo.

Le Gourmet Kitchen recently finished a kitchen remodel for us and we are so very pleased with the final product they have produced in our home. Our kitchen was not so much remodeled as transformed. We just love both the look and functionality. And the quality is most definitely first rate. Our installer was a craftsman and a true master at his trade. A few minor course corrections notwithstanding along the way, the process was prompt, professional, and always customer service oriented - repeatedly going the extra mile to make sure the end result was perfect. Jonathan Salmon and his team were a pleasure to work with. From inception to the finished result the process was efficient and painless. And the attention to detail was amazing. Jonathan taught us that a well-designed kitchen should be both functional and have a “wow” factor in its look. Ours has both. And all we can say now is….”wow!”

It was amazing to work with Bruce on my kitchen remodel Project. He clearly understood my requirements for a modern kitchen. I was planning to finish the kitchen before Thanks giving and Bruce followed with the vendors to make sure the cabinets are delivered on time for installation. He personally inspected the cabinets to make sure all the components are delivered as per the quality. He was there in every phase of the project and made sure my dream kitchen is delivered as promised on time before Thanks giving. The kitchen in now the center piece of my home and I am happy that Bruce was able to deliver it for me.

Last year, Jonathan Salmon at Le Gourmet Kitchen Ltd., designed a beautiful kitchen that we enjoy every day. We had looked forever for a design that was elegant and yet functional. We had bids from other designers, but the kitchen remained a small, uninspiring area. Jonathan's design included moving a wall, appliances (Blue Star range top, a fabulous Miele dishwasher that I adore). Beautiful cabinets that utilize the corners, providing us more storage space. I love our Kohler sink with its accessories (who knew!). The counter top sets the entire mood for the kitchen which is spacious and beautiful. He also recommended a garden window that affords us so much more light and an area to display flowers or plants. Our friends have raved over the change . Truly, every morning we love walking into our lovely, spacious area. We recommend Jonathan Salmon at Le Gourmet Kitchen Ltd.

We absolutely love our kitchen designed by Le Gourmet. Johnathan spent many hours helping us refine our plans to meet our needs and include professional design touches too. All the work was done so professionally by some talented individuals who really know their stuff.

We work with Le Gourmet from time to time and are very pleased every time we do. All their projects are run very professionally and clean. Their work is top notch. I would definitely work alongside with them again in the future.

We love our new kitchen! Bruce took the time to review every last detail of our remodel to create the perfect kitchen for us. From the design, appliances, plumbing, counter and back splash materials, island detail, lighting, hood, sink, cabinet style and even the color of the walls, he was there every step of the way. He even designed a beautiful coffered ceiling! Bruce provided professional guidance and was also fun to work with. We are very happy and recommend Bruce and Le Gourmet Kitchen highly. Thank you!

Bruce is the best! Professional, courteous, on time, on budget. After 11 years, all as good as new. Best of all: after installation service: He's always on call for any issues or fine tuning, or changes or tweaks... Long after he was paid in full. Very unusual in this business. Recommend this company wholeheartedly!

We were first introduced to Bruce Colucci of Le Gourmet Kitchen through his work – admiring the kitchen he had designed for a house we considered buying in Irvine. We didn’t buy that house, but we did meet with Bruce and – duly impressed – commissioned him to remodel the kitchen and master bathroom of the house we eventually bought. Working with Bruce has been a very positive experience. He is very passionate about his work, is knowledgeable about all aspects of construction and design, and has very high standards. A man of many talents, he also proved to be a very good manager of all the elements of the project – from contractor personnel to product suppliers. Overall, we have also been impressed with the quality of contractors selected to complete various elements of the remodeling projects. They have demonstrated themselves to be talented, professional, respectful, and creative problem solvers when necessary. And when snags were encountered in some aspect of the project, Bruce responded quickly to work out reasonable and cost-effective solutions with diplomatic flair. If you are in the market to remodel your kitchen, Bruce is the first person you should call. We can’t recommend him highly enough.

I had compiled my "dream kitchen" wish book and showed it to Bruce when we were in the beginning stages of our kitchen remodel. Bruce took my dreams and with his amazing designer talents captured exactly what my husband and I envisioned plus some! He is an amazing designer! He has the experience and an eye for creativity, functionality, and he listens to that which is important to you. Once his and our vision were captured on blueprints, including beautifully done colored drawings of our future kitchen, he went to work to oversee our project. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to kitchen appliances, granite, tile, cabinets, lighting down to fixtures, knobs and the magic corner! Ask him about that because it really is special and space efficient. The lighting he set up in our kitchen and family room is brilliant! We love the graphic eye he recommended we install. Let me say this though, kitchen remodels are not for the weak! Factor in that 10-20% budget overage and expect delays. What I knew for certain is I could contact Bruce and he was going to make it happen and most importantly make me happy. I am detail oriented and so is Bruce so this was a very successful, often stressful, beautifully designed, highly functional kitchen project that was and still remains a happy ending. And, my husband and I are still remain friends with Bruce and visit from time to time.

After talking with several other kitchen design and remodeling companies, we selected Le Gourmet Kitchens and owner / designer Bruce Colucci. No one else invested themselves so wholeheartedly in our dream kitchen project. My wife and I agreed that the design he created for our kitchen was pure genius, and really beautiful. Bruce improved our vision by asking good questions, making suggestions for alternatives to consider, and helping us to navigate all the trade-offs that are part of a good kitchen design. During construction, Bruce remained engaged, and was flexible when we requested some minor changes. The design maximized our limited space and resulted in a modern, highly functional and elegant cooking space that continues to be a source of pride for us. Now, four years later, we are still very happy with our decisions and enjoy continued praise from our friends. A kitchen project is not a trivial undertaking. To get it right, it is important to hire the most talented professional services available. If someday we decide to move and want to build another great kitchen, I would hire Bruce again.

Bruce Colucci the owner of Le Gourmet Kitchen recently helped one of my client finished a kitchen remodeling work. Le Gourmet Kitchen usually handles large scale of luxurious kitchens and this is a tiny investment condo which I am grateful he was willing to help! It was supposed to be a simple remodeling work, but it got complicated with lots of technical difficulties. He solved all the problems along the way, absolutely professional in all situation. We ended up renting the condo in 3 days with multiple offers ! Thank you Bruce ! Cindy Hanson Principal of CH Global Luxury Homes

We collaborated with Le Gourmet to remodel our kitchen and couldn't be happier with the results! My husband and I had an idea of what we wanted and Bruce was able to visualize our wishes on paper to create our dream kitchen. His skill and creativity made simple work of our remodel. Le Gourmet was able to work within our budget to help us design a beautiful, functional kitchen. We could not have done it without him! We are so happy we chose Le Gourmet Kitchen!

It's been over two years since my total kitchen renovation, I don't have any regrets. Jonathan was creative, handy, all his measurements were very precise, and all my wishes were met. The most amazing effect is the kitchen area seemed to have expanded with all the appliances and fancy pull-outs being incorporated in it. I am glad that I hired someone who is more of a perfectionist than I am.

Bruce is passionate about kitchens, and his designs show that. High quality appliances and cabinetry, amazing use of space, beautiful and functional. He brings out the gourmet in all of us! Both Bruce and Jonathan are wonderful to work with and I look forward to working with them often!

Bruce Colucci of Le Gourmet Kitchen Ltd. is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about kitchen design. We loved his ideas and ability to make a beautiful design while maximizing a wall of windows, over looking our backyard! Another added bonus is the attention to lighting design and detail. We absolutely love our kitchen.

A complete remodel to our kitchen, including removing all cabinets, appliances, flooring and paint. A kitchen remodel can be the most stressful of all home improvement projects and can run into any number of problems. Le Gourmet represented the very best you could ever expect in design and construction. They worked closely with us during design and their ideas met or exceeded our expectations for the new kitchen. During construction, they met their timeline and every aspect of the project with few small problems and no major problems. Their follow-up was immediate and they were always available to answer questions or fix an issue. The contractors they use are craftsman and care about the quality of their work. I would never hesitate to use them again for another project. The above review was written upon completion of the project in 2013. It is now 2015 and we love the kitchen even more! It 's layout is perfect and as beautiful as the day it was completed. Bruce and Le Gourmet Kitchen did a wonderful remodel from the studs on out. Neighbors still come over to see the kitchen, not believing that it is the same footprint as their kitchens yet beautiful and functional. The banquette, built-in bookcase and pantry are the highlights. The under-counter microwave was a perfect addition to allow the counter to be extended. The 6-drawer island holds all of my bake ware and is a wonderful work station. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat!

We hired Le Gourmet Kitchen to do a complete remodel of our kitchen. Bruce listened to us as we described how we used the space - we entertained quite often; he accommodated our needs and made sure everyone was on the same page. He frequently visited our home to make sure we were happy with the progress. So much could have gone wrong, given the nature of the remodel with the finishes, lighting, flooring, cabinetry, and hardware that were used. However, everything came out perfect and beautiful and within the time frame promised and budget. Considering my Bachelor's degree is in Interior Design, I'm glad I hired Bruce as my kitchen designer - I would hire him again in a minute!

Bruce Colucci and the craftsmen of Le Gourmet Kitchen made our dream kitchen a reality. After first speaking to Bruce, it was immediately obvious that here was a man who loved what he did and would bring excitement and enthusiasm to the project. Bruce took our ideas, and together with insightful suggestions, transformed our space into something we thought we would only see in a magazine. The proposal and work time line were realistic and achievable so there were no surprises. I would recommend Bruce and Le Gourmet Kitchen to anyone looking for a wonderful, interactive design project and will be contacting Bruce, in the near future, to redesign our master bedroom and en suite bathroom.

Fantastic! Le Gourmet Kitchen provided excellent service. They did an amazing job on both the design and remodel of my kitchen, and they were a pleasure to work with. I couldn't be happier or recommend them more highly.

Le Gourmet Kitchens is a talented West Coast firm that we have the pleasure of working with. Their designs are impeccably executed with an exacting attention to detail. We at Grothouse Lumber highly recommend them to any homeowner.
