When I first reached out I said my preferences and he used them to create a menu proposal. He was very communicative and I was able to provide feedback in order to make sure the menu was perfect. He was also helpful by providing insightful suggestions. He was flexible with providing alternatives with dietary restrictions for guests. On the day of, he arrived with all of the ingredients ready to go. He prepared the first course, a charcuterie board promptly and was ready when my guests arrived. It was also nice that he wasn't rushed and was willing to be flexible with the timing of the meal as well. It helped keep up a good flow for the dinner party. The second course was a delicious plate of scallops with a sweet corn sauce and roasted cauliflower. The scallops were perfectly seared and a generous portion. The third course was beef tenderloin, wild mushroom risotto and butternut squash purée. The entire dish was delicious! The last course were our very own chocolate fondant cake with vanilla ice cream. The chocolate syrup melted and blended perfectly with the ice cream. After dinner, he cleaned up and left everything spotless. I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience and look forward to more dinner parties with Chef Raphael in the future!

You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does, and it shows in every detail.

He came out to our home and went over different menu ideas, and asked us about our guests and any allergies etc and then from there , he completely took over. He preps some of the food and then comes to your home and takes over the kitchen in a very professional manner. The courses come out one at a time and while your entertaining, he is preparing it and the presentation and taste is out of this world. I highly recommend Chef Dominick, for a wonderful evening and especially if you are trying to impress your guests.

Honestly hard to find good traditional black foods so fresh and for such a reasonable price in Boston so this was a blessing. Sam, the owner, is such a lovely woman and she really knows what she's doing. She helped us decorate, provided tables and dishware, and added personal touches that made the event so very special. Will definitely be going back whenever I can. Highly recommend the salmon (and I'm picky about my salmon). They were also able to accommodate allergens and our serving preference very well. Very responsive when booking and planning and very flexible with last-minute changes. Overall great experience!

Prior to the wedding, Sam took the time to answer my never-ending questions, handled my venue change with ease, and was very accommodating to our needs. For our tasting we had a private romantic table for two, wine included! Sam and her staff were excellent the day of my wedding. My wedding coordinator ended up being absolutely horrible, and Sam's staff stepped in and did their best to fix the chaos that the coordinator caused, without them, my wedding would have been ruined. The staff was professional, kind to the guests, and very efficient. We got so many compliments on the food, it was better than we expected, and looked amazing!

I work for a small nonprofit, and when the time…read morecame to plan our 10th anniversary celebration, we found we were struggling with finding a caterer who could provide fun and interesting food without blowing our budget out of the water. You'd be surprised how many times we heard, "We cannot plan a party on this small a budget." Well okay then! But the folks at BG were wonderful-- so accommodating, so friendly, and genuinely excited about working with us. The tasting was an experience. We walked in to find our names printed on a little welcome card in the lobby, and the table set for what turned out to be a really cozy and fun lunch with Michele and Caitlin. We were offered wine, chatted as the food was served, heard a little bit about each dish as it came out, and were sent away with packed up leftovers to share with the rest of the office. That was what sealed the deal, honestly-- we left their office confident in their ability to produce an event that felt like we wanted it to feel, and since we already knew they could stay within our budget, we were sold. Leading up to the event, I couldn't have been happier. It was my first time being in charge of an entire event for my company, and Michele was always available to answer my questions, promptly and with good humor. She made recommendations, always with an eye to matching style with budget consciousness, and even up to the day before the party was proactive about checking in to make sure every detail was seen to. The party itself (held at the Charles River Museum of Industry in Waltham) went off without a hitch-- our Executive Director used the word "perfect" more than once-- and once the cocktail hour started I was even able to relax and enjoy myself, knowing we were in good hands. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience working with BG, and recommend them without reservation.

Kate was enthusiastic, organized, and full of great ideas. She was easy to communicate with and made sure that we felt comfortable and were clear about every decision we made along the way. For someone who was planning on a budget, I can't express how valuable and reassuring it was to have a completely transparent, easy to understand invoice. Kate and Chris created a menu that suited our personalities perfectly. I've heard that brides don't usually eat much on their wedding days, but I went back for a second plate. Every bite was delicious. Our guests loved it, too. The service was great. Kate's kids helped serve the buffet! Our guests were never wanting for food and the bartenders kept them well-lubricated. Kate went above the call of duty on more than one occasion. When we told her we wanted a tower of donuts instead of a wedding cake, she didn't bat an eyelash and somehow assembled an out-of-this-world display. She patiently spent 4+ hours with me on the day before the wedding choosing and arranging ALL of the flowers for our big day. We would choose Tastyplates over and over again.
