What has me work with Chef over and over again is her attention to detail, the professionalism of her staff, the ease in which she makes working with her and of course the amazing taste of all of her dishes. Chef Mellanee ensures everything looks beautiful...from the set up to the arrangement of the food on the dish. If you're having an important gathering, big or small, you need to have someone of Chef Mellanee's caliber to help ensure a successful event.

Chef Mellanee Harvin, and her Team, are the epitome of excellence. I was scouting a caterer for my…read morewedding, and was referred to Chef Mellanee by my Best Friend, who had been following The Fork Goes on the Left's Instagram page. Chef Mellanee's page, filled with tantalizing spreads, set in entrancing presentation, made a foodie like myself, instantly interested. Upon speaking with Chef Mellanee, I was immediately taken by her warmth, easy-going nature, patience (because, I asked SO many questions, on multiple occasions), and polished professionalism. Though I had nothing solidified, in terms of a venue, or even a wedding planner, Chef Mellanee offered me much guidance, and recommended a venue, which eventually led me to connect with my future Wedding Planner! I was presented a set list with a plethora of hors d'oeuvres, Buffet and Dinner compilations, and a separate drink menu, should an open bar be desired. Though many fantastic options were listed for consideration, Chef Mellanee informed I could inquire about offerings not listed, also. On the day of the tasting, my then-fiance and I, had car trouble. After speaking with Chef Mellanee, she graciously offered to extend the appointment to a reasonable time. By a miracle of God, we made it to the tasting, with 20-mins to spare. Upon entering Chef Mellanee's presence, we were immediately put at ease. The highly stressful event we'd been through, began to melt off us. Music played, in the background that set a loving mood. My beloved and I, sat at a table set for us to dine like royalty. Each course was impeccable, and Chef Mellanee checked to ensure our thoughts about each dish, were of genuine satisfaction. After our meal, and offering our final decisions, Chef Mellanee brought out a card game for us to play! It was a sweet game, made to enhance connection between a couple. We loved it! On the day of the wedding, upon entering the venue, I was told by my wedding planner to check a bag that had been left in my changing room. There, I found a white box, embossed with The Fork Goes on the Left emblem. Inside sat a few wonderful items, and a thoughtful, sweet note, that I keep in mind each day. From the time of service to the end of the night, everyone raved about the food, and service, rendered by Chef Mellanee, and her A+ Team. The food was well seasoned, and delightfully satisfying, speaking to our guests' Caribbean background, and elevated tastes. Chef Mellanee's team were the epitome of polished professionalism, courtesy, and joy! What also caught my eye, was how well Chef Mellanee's Team had her back. Before my husband, and I, were to take a picture with Chef Mellanee, the same lady on her Team, stopped to fix Chef's collar, to ensure she looked her best - I LOVED that! It spoke to everything we saw that evening, that contributed in so many ways, to their supreme level of service. Great trust, comradery, and respect worked within their Team dynamic. If any Bride is considering catering services, please, look no further than The Fork Goes on the Left. The level of care, and pampered service you, and your guests, will experience, will undoubtedly make your event, a day or night, to remember. As I said at the beginning of my review, Chef Mellanee and her Team, are excellence, personified, and, even more than that, they are genuine people, who care about each other, and their client. For an elevated, white-glove experience, look no further, and book, The Fork Goes on the Left.

We had one of the most amazing, unique experiences here. Chef Anne is a true gem. She has worked at…read moresome of the most outstanding restaurants around the world but is also a very down to earth, hard working New Yorker. My husband and I did a private cooking class and Anne curated the perfect menu for us, expertly tailored to our interests and skill level. Because she also can host private dinners in the space, we were able to arrange for a few of our family members to come and enjoy the dinner we prepared. It was really so fun, and so special, and to be able to have a private indoor dining space is especially great now with COVID. The price for all of it was very reasonable. We're already thinking about when we can come back for another class and/or dinner!

When referring my friends and relatives to their business, I always comment that their service , food and attention to every little detail, have always far exceeded my expectations. I am not a big fan of salt, but learned that they don't use much in their food - they are masters at using spices to enhance the flavor of all their dishes. During Covid when restaurants were shut down, they started a weekly delivery service that was really awesome with a full array of choices from "soup to nuts"! In short, I have never been disappointed and so happy to give a glowing review. Sharon B
