Chef Cary's Cuisine is an awesome caterer! I got their name because they are on the list of approved caterers at our temple. We needed a caterer for my son's bar mitzvah weekend (Friday night dinner, Saturday night party and Sunday morning brunch). Cary Eisen (the owner) was SO easy to work with! After speaking with a number of caterers who were unwilling to work at our selected venue for Saturday night (it was a nightclub we rented out that did not have a kitchen), I finally found Cary. Many caterers we spoke with did not want to work within our budget, telling us that we wouldn't get more than passed appetizers for what we wanted to spend, which was just crazy. The food did not have to be over-the-top, but we DID want it to be delicious and interesting to celebrate this special occasion. Chef Cary definitely delivered! We ended up doing food stations for all three meals, with the Saturday night being the "fanciest". We had a chef carving station of salmon, a mac-n-cheese bar (served in martini glasses), chicken, balsamic-glazed vegetables, mini desserts served in shot glasses, etc. The list goes on and on... We had gluten-free and vegetarian options for all meals as well as a completely separate kids buffet for Saturday night, complete with an ice-cream sundae bar for the kids/teens! Our Friday night and Saturday night events both had cocktail hours with passed appetizers before the main meal service, which was great (we even had separate "kid-friendly" passed apps for the kids/teen areas so our younger guests were able to have their own "cocktail hour" complete with non-alcoholic beverages). All of our guests raved about the food and everyone seemed to have seconds of at least one item! Nevertheless, we did not run out of any food, which was great! The servers were great and the buffet stations were set up beautifully and well-maintained throughout dinner service. They bussed the tables constantly and were very efficient. Our guests were well taken care of! They even provided a fabulous bartender (Tim) for our cocktail hour on Friday, who also did wine service at the tables on Friday. Tim set up the bar beautifully, making an artistic "arched" display of martini glasses overflowing with olives and a gorgeous display of our customized napkins. Best of all, their pricing was terrific and VERY fair, compared to other caterers in town. They also gave us a discount because we used them for multiple events during the same weekend, which was great. read more
