I hosted a surprise 40th birthday dinner for my husband and 10 friends. I hired Lise to cater the dinner, and it could not have gone any better. Lise is professional and flexible and she gave me lots of guidance on menu options when I had no idea of what I wanted! We had a 5 course meal, with hors d'ouvres, appetizer, salad, entree, and birthday cake for dessert. The food was absolutely delicious, super fresh, and everything was the perfect temperature. From the moment they came in, Lise and her assistant took care of everything. I didn't have to think about timing or prompt them for anything. I had as much fun as the other guests! I had never hired a chef for something like this, and I am so grateful we found Lise. As the guests were leaving, we realized they left the entire kitchen sparkling - we didn't have to clean anything! We were so engrossed in our meal that I didn't take a lot of photos. But here's a sample!

Grilled romaine, poached pear, walnuts, Farmers  cheese with a mustard based dressing

My son hired Lise Yeager for a birthday Party for my husband and myself at our home. She and her assistants made this experience, a new one for us, a dream. I would heartily recommend her. The menu was superb, the service exceptional, and the clean-up, immaculate. They left my home spotless. I wished a grabbed a few pictures of them making the food but I did get some of the food. Pictures show the grilled romaine salad with poached pears, walnuts abs farmers cheese with a marvelous dressing, and our dinner of petite filet with tarragon butter and scallops with vegetable napoleons. I'd have scared the charcuterie board but I couldn't get a clear shot with our guests clustered around it without a break! Lise was a pleasure abs bade our celebration a success!

Chef Lise provided my wife with a wonderful, COVID-safe family birthday dinner. Chef Lise was so easy to work with, provided us with an exceptional dinner experience in our home, and was supremely professional. I would recommend her again, hands down.

My husband hired Chef Lise for my surprise 50th birthday party. She made the most amazing dinner (not to mention appetizers and drinks) for my friends and family right in my own kitchen. The entire evening was amazing!!! The food was phenomenal and Lise and her staff went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a great time! I am still in awe of what a fantastic job these 3 ladies did! Thank you Chef Lise for a most memorable time....Until we meet again!!

Enjoying our Christmas gift!

See all

This was a great experience. Brought my gf and parents and we all had a wonderful time!…read more Chef Sandy is very accommodating and everyone is responsive for planning. The show is still in development, it may not be Broadway quality atm but it is very entertaining and I imagine if you can enjoy yourself with family and friends there is no excuse to say anyone had a "bad time" at this event. I am a fine dining server of 15 years, I have worked under Michelin Star earning chefs and was a food writer in New Haven for a number of years. The quality of the food is very good. My whole party left very satiated and full. Everything was delicious. It is sad to see there is such vitriol in these reviews, TBH when reading some of them I was getting nervous that my parents might be let down. But, when we were there, I began feeling sorry for the people who left such negative reviews, as they seemed to not be able to enjoy themselves in such an easily enjoyable atmosphere. I began imagining their holiday gatherings as quite glum boring experiences themselves, these poor unfortunate souls probably got coal for Xmas every year of their youth!!! I mourned for their lack of childhood happiness.‍ This was a very fun experience for our whole family. My parents are already planning on returning and we can't wait to see Chef Sandy on A&E this fall!!!

My boyfriend and I got these tickets as a Christmas present for a double date with his parents, and…read morewe were all so impressed with Chef Sandy and the entire show! Everybody was so welcoming and attentive, the food was delicious, and it was just a great time overall. We actually got 4 courses, and Chef Sandy walked around in between to make sure everybody was enjoying, and if we wanted seconds (which we did...it was so good!) Starting out, a fresh green salad with strawberries, walnuts, and raspberry vinaigrette. They were also very accommodating to anybody who may have had allergies to nuts, gluten, etc. Next she showed us how to prepare and make spring rolls from scratch! Followed by delicious salmon bruschetta. The main entree was pasta primavera with chicken francaise which she actually asked for a few volunteers to demonstrate the process, showing it was easy enough for anybody to make. A bonus for the evening, we also got blueberry cake! Just when we thought we were too full...it tasted so good we made room in our bellies! Cannot say enough nice things about Chef Sandy and the staff. We had such a great experience and for the value we will definitely be recommending to friends and family!

It felt like I was chasing them down every step of the way. Details kept changing, nothing felt organized, and I never felt confident that they actually had things under control. It was stressful and not at all what you'd expect from a professional service. Would not recommend based on my experience. Definitely not reliable, and the lack of professionalism made everything harder than it needed to be.

The ONLY reason why there is even 1 star is because this app would not allow ZERO stars! This is a…read moreHORRIBLE company! I called to hire servers for my party, I should have known that this company would be a problem. Maria was very delayed in replying to my email. I chased her down and was able to book 3 servers. I followed up 2 days prior to my party. no response. I finally got a response, Maria said we were all set. Well...30 minutes before the party was to start and guests showing up, NO ONE came to help. I contacted Maria, and she said she would let me now. She stated that the bartender went to a wrong address and now wasn't coming. she inquired about the other 2 servers. NO ONE showed up! Party was over a week ago and I have yet to receive my refund for my deposit. I would NEVER use Maria at Simply Serving again. I have reached out to her numerous times and no response and no refund.
