They arrived on time, were professional and attentive, and went above and beyond to keep things running smoothly -- even preparing extra drinks before leaving so guests could continue enjoying the party. The fact that Chayanne was working on her birthday makes it even more impressive. Highly recommend!

If you're considering Marcy Brownstein for your event, take my advice: DO IT. You will not regret…read moreit. The food at our wedding was absolutely incredible. Everything we asked for was executed perfectly--and honestly, it went above and beyond what we expected. Throughout the night, guests kept coming up to us saying how amazing the food was. Many people mentioned it without us even asking, which is how we knew they truly meant it. Olga was incredible to work with. Our wedding happened during the coldest weekend in NYC, and she had already thought through a plan to keep the food warm and everything running smoothly. She even surprised us by serving guests hot toddies while they waited to enter the ceremony, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. The food, the staff, the organization--everything was top-notch. Olga made sure she connected with every vendor so everyone was aligned and nothing slipped through the cracks. Anytime I reached out just to double-check a detail, she was already five steps ahead and made me feel like we were in GREAT hands. I've been to a lot of weddings, and I can confidently say this was the best wedding food I've ever had--and our guests agreed. If you want an amazing experience and food that people will be talking about long after your event, Marcy Brownstein and Olga are the team to trust. I promise!

I cannot express enough how thankful I am for Chef Rossi, Charmaine, and the rest of The Raging…read moreSkillet team! From the beginning, Chef Rossi was warm and welcoming and immediately shared my excitement about the wedding. What I love most about TRS is that everything is customizable and Chef Rossi wants to make sure her food reflects the wedding vision. She paid attention to every little detail I asked for. Creating a menu and signing an agreement with her was such a breeze! Closer to the wedding, her administrative team was totally on top of every change and request I made. I felt at ease going through a walk through, setting up the timeline, and making sure all bases were covered. They have years of experience and that was certainly demonstrated from beginning to end. On top of all that, her food is some of the best food I have ever tasted in my life. It is not typical wedding food and we received hundreds of compliments throughout the reception. Every item on the menu reflected who my husband and I are as people. Chef Rossi is an extremely unique caterer and we absolutely loved every second working with her! Thank you thank you thank you! The TRS helped us create memories that will last a lifetime!

She was friendly, fun, and extremely helpful. She went over everything having to do with cost up front!! The tip, tax, rentals, etc. And when she gave us an initial estimate, and sensed (correctly) that it was out of our budget, she happily told us where and how to make cuts and found ways to save us money. We felt totally at ease and then came the food... AWESOME!!!! She invited us to not one, but two tastings. We loved everything. We liked her first menu, which was a perfect fit for our theme, so much that we only ever made ONE menu item change. The Raging Skillet went above and beyond, supplying me with an inventory of what mixers, sodas, and juices would be needed so I could go buy them myself and save more money. The day of the event, the staff was amazing and the food was fantastic. The right amounts at the right time and all the appetizers and main dishes were outstanding. We received numerous compliments on the food through out the event. Honestly... Through every step of the way leading to the wedding, I felt I could never have done it with out Chef Rossi. She is an amazing person who cares about her clients and delivers top notch food.

Jeff went above and beyond to cater to…read moreour every need, concern and was there for us through the whole process of planning my my daughter and son-in-law's wedding. His experience and professionalism always comes through. When Jeff tells you "don't worry", you can absolutely not worry because he always knows best. The wedding was at the Picnic House in Prospect Park and the staff knew the venue and transformed it into a beautiful venue exactly how we imagined it. Alfonso was great from the minute we got there. He was calm and efficient in helping to set up for the ceremony, the decorating, the fireplace, the centerpieces and candles just how we pictured them and it was all perfect. He helped organize the ceremony and timed everything perfectly. During the cocktail hour, the food stations and the passed food just kept on coming and was all interesting and delicious. My guests were already raving. For the reception we chose the buffet which was generous and delicious. Many of my guests were saying, "There's more food??" The waiters were great, the bartenders great, everything went without a hitch, even the clean up was seamless, not to mention all the food we took home!! I highly recommended Bon Soir Catering and Jeff to cater your event. My guests were so impressed with everything, I am still getting calls. Most importantly, I am so thankful for all their help, advise and patience in the planning of this wedding. Bon Soir and Jeff, you are truly appreciated. My daughter and son-in-law have the happiest memory of their wedding day! THANK YOU ISN'T EVEN ENOUGH!

Every step from menu creation to booking to the day of was perfect. I have never been so at ease with a dinner party, everything was taken care of from start to finish. The food was phenomenal, after our first course we were already talking about when we could host our next event! They took all of the right precautions around covid and made us feel very comfortable. Don't hesitate in booking, they won't disappoint.

He created a custom menu for us with two entrees and three sides served family style. We opted for the Greenmarket Burrata Salad, Grilled Short Ribs, Sous Vide Arctic Char, Summer Farro Salad and Swiss Chard Ravioli - all mouthwatering delicious! Loved the presentation as well. It was great getting to know David while he was preparing the dishes in an open kitchen. If you're looking for a fun and talented Michelin-trained chef, look no further! David's a crowdpleaser!

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 wanted to support an AAPI owned business and Gaddy Lane was not only that, but also female owned. Fabulous! Communication was great from beginning to end, and they arrived on time with the delivery. We opted for an assortment of sandwiches and some side salads. The sandwiches were all a huge hit, especially the vegan cauliflower one (by everyone, not just vegans). My only complaint is the side salads left something to be desired; they were basically just lettuce. A bit pricey compared to some of the other catering options that we looked at, but happy to support a small business!

We got all these different kinds of sandwiches, and they were in half portions so you could try more than one type if you so pleased. I'm one of the few vegetarians in the office, and they provided these amazing eggplant sandwiches. I ate 3 (halves so thats just 1.5 but still). This was one of the best in-office lunches I've had. I also noticed that they brought the food up to the office, and the way they organized it was so clear. Sometimes it's a struggle to identify what everything is, but they labeled everything! I highly recommend working with them if you're in need of catering, the food and service is top notch!
