Chris kicked off the start of a long girls weekend for 8 of us in Sag Harbor! I corresponded with…read morehim leading up to the trip and he was highly responsive and communicative relaying potential menu options and accommodations. Using his service was such a good choice for our first night after a morning of traveling and wine tasting. Being able to settle into our home and start catching up, throwing on comfy clothes, and having everything done for us was BEYOND nice. When Chris arrived, all I had to do was show him where the kitchen was and he got to work. We started with 3 apps - a cheese fondue with nice crusty bread and veggies, mini shrimp tostadas, and meatballs - all were so good and huge portion sizes! Chris set our table beautifully, served us 2 salads (an awesome herbed orzo salad with goat cheese + a delicious broccoli salad) and set up a lovely buffet for our main course! We got local fluke in a caper sauce, a skirt steak, roasted cauliflower, asparagus, and zucchini, roasted sweet potatoes, + INCREDIBLE mac and cheese!! For dessert, he served us an icebox oreo cake that we will probably talking about for years to come. He cleaned up absolutely everything for us - the entire experience was truly hands off and we were so grateful for it! We also had an absolute ton of leftovers that sustained us for the rest of the weekend that Chris put in tupperware for us before he left. We have all already discussed that we want to re-do the whole trip, Chris included! I highly recommend him for any group, he was friendly and easy to talk to and needed absolutely zero guidance - a total pro. The experience was seamless and the food was incredible.

All the fruits and veggies were perfectly in season, the salmon and chicken were cooked amazingly, and everything tasted fantastic. Chris was quick and totally on it pre dinner while we were figuring out the menu. He was super accommodating to the bride to be's pickiness and all food allergies etc. He cleaned up everything and even helped us with the extra dishes we left in the sink:) We literally only got one photo because people dug in so quickly! Thank you Chris!! Your number has been spread to all the friends!

Great things are big reasons to celebrate! Birthdays, a 200th review and becoming an Elite All…read moreStar!! So, in honor of all these accomplishments, I'm dedicating my 200th review to Chef Lance, who helped make my birthday on Jan 27th perfect, very special and exactly what I had hoped for on many levels! From my first conversation with Chef Lance, I knew I found a wonderful Chef, and person! He replied to my initial contact within an hour of messenging him. Through our many emails and texts, together we created a menu that well exceeded 5 stars!! My birthday dinner was prepared in my home for my family, 6 people total! Dinner was called for at 7:30 and Chef Lance arrived at my home around 4:00 to set up and begin preparations. He was so cordial, knowledgeable and his stories of becoming a chef and all his experiences through the years fascinated me! Now for the good stuff, my menu.... Coconut Shrimp appetizer, Penne alla Vodka, Salad, Chicken Francaise and Honey Glazed Carrots. The entire night felt like we were eating in a very cozy restaurant! Chef Lance plated every dish and we enjoyed it all tremendously! Everything was just delicious! I have to point out certain things that stood out to me: the chicken was purchased from a butcher, jumbo shrimp were used and so incredibly fresh and succulent! The coconut was toasted beforehand and the homemade dipping sauce was nothing like anything I have ever had before. It was fruit based with an Asian twist, just fantastic! Because Penne alla Vodka is a favorite in my family, an extra batch was made so everyone could take some home to enjoy again! After dinner, my kitchen was completely cleaned and all dishes, pots, etc were washed. My daughters BF bought a cheescake for dessert so at that point it was time for Chef Lance to leave. From start to finish, he was in my home for almost 5 hours! I can't rave enough what an experience having a chef prepare an intimate dinner was like! If you are looking for someone who will exceed every expectation you may have, Chef Lance is who you should contact. There's no doubt I will be seeing him in my home again! Chef Lance, thank you for a birthday dinner experience I will never forget!!

We had to replan our entire June wedding due to Covid so we went with an intimate backyard wedding…read moreand the one thing we knew was extremely important to us was the food and service options. When we came across Silver Spoon and spoke to the owner Jeanine, I knew we wanted to use their service for our special day. She was kind and comforting on the phone while being the upmost professional. Not to mention how many emails we exchanged (large part from myself being a bride) just made the experience leading up to the big day that much more appreciated. As for the food everything was wonderful we did a menu more like a bbq and added lobster rolls to the mix (I love lobster & husband loves bbq) but the number one thing on their menu that I still crave is their jalapeño honey butter corn bread! Seriously need to try it if you can. The Team! I cannot say enough about the team they were so sweet and so accommodating, flexible and just made you really feel like we hired the right people to do the right job. I am in the customer service industry and I was beyond pleased with each and every one of them. We hired a Bartender, two wait staff and a chef all of them have the best personalities and just made you feel the way you need to at your wedding. Jeanine - one thing to never let go of is your team with how wonderful the food was they really took the cake on presenting your company and services on a very special day. All in all I would book Silver Spoon for any event small or large in the future without hesitation!

I was searching for a chef to cater a dinner party / bachelorette and came across Robyn's site…read more Once connected I could tell that she would be the perfect fit. Robyn is incredibly professional and truly makes you feel like your meal is her number one priority. She worked with me to create a menu that would work for all guests, including one who was lactose intolerant / vegetarian. Upon arrival she went right to work and although multitasking kept the kitchen calm and inviting. We enjoyed watching her make fresh pasta while creating 4 additional recipes with ease. She has a lovely disposition and a passion for food that shines through. Now let's talk about the food. First off, each dish complimented each other. The ingredients were so fresh and pure that you could truly taste them all coming together with each bite. Nothing was swimming in sauce or overly salty - truly perfect. The homemade pasta reminded me of Italy and she made sure everything she uses is seasonal. The braised short ribs melted in your mouth. Ever been to a dinner party where everyone becomes incredibly quiet because the food is that good? It happened! We finished the night off with a vegan chocolate pie that left the group asking for the recipe. While we were enjoying everything, Robyn cleaned the kitchen and left it spotless. Everyone was floored by her food and I can honestly say it was talked about the entire time and will be for years to come. I feel thankful I found such a quality chef. I am looking for reasons to book her this summer!

We had a group of people that liked different foods and he made some items that weren't on his regular menu. The appetizers he prepared were amazing! Everything was so fresh, unique and delicious. Mike started us with complimentary bread that came with truffle butter and truffle balsamic oil. The dipping sauces were sooo good. I personally would have preferred a bread crispy crust type of a bread for the dipping. Then we had scallops with tomato pesto sauce that were absolute perfection. I never really loved scallops until I tried Mike's scallops! They melted in your mouth. We also had the shrimp cups in a phyllo cup with guacamole! It is such a perfect summer appetizer. Absolutely delicious! We also had steak bites that were covered in a chimichurri. I wish the sauce was on the side. It was a lil bit spicy for some. Then we had our main entree which was flank steak with truffled mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was so good but everyone wished that the portion of the steak was bigger and that it would have came out hot. We had the appetizers brought out before everyone got to our house so then we waited to eat those until everyone got there. By the time everyone settled and was ready to eat, the appetizers were cold and the entree was ready . It would have been perfect if the timing of the food was different and the steak portion was bigger and hot. Nonetheless, it was still an amazing experience and I highly recommend Mike for anyone looking for a private chef for their house party!
