She was a total pleasure -- as was everyone on her team -- to have at our intimate occasion. Her food was beyond delicious and everyone, including all of the kids ages 4-15, loved it. We would absolutely hire Abyssinia again in the future.

She is a delightful person and came equipped with everything needed to prepare the food in our kitchen. It was as good as the very best restaurant food we have ever eaten.

Of course we will hire her again!

Is it possible to give more than 5 stars? My wife recently hired Clinton as she was throwing me a…read morebirthday party, and we wanted to have our friends and family over. He was amazing from start to finish. He worked with us, was super flexible, always polite, and a friendly, warm person. Speaking with him a bit you can tell he knows, loves, and appreciates good quality food. His creativity was fantastic, and his staff were great. They prepped, served, and cleaned, and we could literally not have asked for more. BUT, what about the food? Forget about it. Any doubts you may have, you can rest easy. The food was fantastic. All of our guests raved about how good the food was, their only complaint was they were too full to keep eating, but they wanted to keep eating. Will absolutely be hiring Clinton again.

If you have any really knowledge about food, can cook a few nights a week, and don't like waisting money, avoid. For us, we found it wasn't worth it and really didn't like Ilia as a person. Nickled and dimed you on everything and was somehow never in the wrong. Advertised a 3 dinner a week service as $250, but it was really just $250 for her time, THEN you add in the cost of all the ingredients (and she always bought the most expensive version of everything) +$15 delivery fee (even though she is always right by our house to shop at Mom's), +$8 kitchen use fee, +$30 every other week somehow for new bottle of olive oil, etc. Wound up being $400-$450 each week for what amounted to a few lunches and dinners for the family (3 of us, and our son is 7 and barely ate her food). Couldn't wait to try to charge for an ice pack she thought we lost. If she is ever late or misses a day for whatever reason (parade, weather, you name it), there is never any money back. Also can't fully cook all the diets she claims she can do. Made a lot of mistakes when I needed low fodmap, but somehow we always ate the cost. At the end, won't even bring us back the 4 containers we paid $80 for and said "we can pick it up." Really not the type of person you want to be doing business with.

Wow, Rivertowns - How lucky we are to have this amazing catering and bakery!…read more Made by RK has all the bases covered. Yummy? Check! Scrumptious? Check! Vegan dishes? Check! Gluten free options? Check! Sweets? Check! Savory dishes? Check! How does owner Renee manage to pull off all the above and more? I'm not exactly sure, but I'm beginning to think she is a culinary wizard! Give her dishes and treats a try, they are truly amazing. We love the truffle cake, the pecan pie, the various cookies, the savory side dishes, essentially everything. She even takes custom orders for main dishes and cakes. See, I told you she's a wizard.

Throughout it all, Renée was with us every step of the way during all the ups and downs. She was kind, flexible and very supportive. It really is a testament to how much she cares about her clients. Not only did we find an amazing level of service with MadeByRk, but we experienced a true partnership and friendship as well. When the happy day finally arrived, Renée and her team made us feel so comfortable and at ease (even helping calm a mini meltdown with a much needed hug and alleviating any and all Covid concerns). She helped coordinate everything, including seating charts (she even measured the venue to make sure all the tables and chairs would fit), day of stationery, making sure our vibe and theme came through and bespoke food stations with the most pleasant and thoughtful attendants. The food was great, especially the cake and desserts (her buttercream frosted chocolate cake is heavenly and she made these adorable themed cookies just for us). In addition she provided beautiful decorations and flower arrangements, which they set up throughout the whole venue, as well as setting up a lovely champagne toast for us. Then she came back the next day to even help further for all post-event necessities and clean up (including preserving the top of our wedding cake for our anniversary). We can't say enough about her and her team. They made the best day of our life even that much better. Renée and her team have our heartfelt appreciation for everything. Truly one of a kind! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

For our private dinner party, we requested that Chef Jaime prepare 2 options for each course which definitely added to the work involved for her. Chef Jaime was able to complete the tasks masterfully and every course was presented beautifully and was, of course, nothing short of delicious. I should add that Chef Jaime was fully prepared to provide a COVID-safe experience complete with mask, gloves, sanitizer, etc. This was a Michelin-star experience in the privacy of our home and I would not hesitate to hire Chef Jaime again for future events!

BUYER BEWARE. When…read morewe requested a proposal for a baby shower, she answered within 24 hours while other caterers took multiple days to respond. After receiving her proposal and asking routine questions about her prices and quantities, she told us she wanted to be paid in cash, changed her original payment terms to 2/3 upfront versus the 'market' 1/2 upfront, and refused to answer our questions about quantities. When we pushed back, she responded via e-mail, "After giving it some thought, I feel another caterer would be a better fit for the service and payment arrangements you're looking for, so I'll respectfully step back from your November 7 event." This is the type of behavior you expect from a fraud operator, not a private chef - I can't believe how many positive reviews she has. I would never hire her after seeing so many red flags, which is a shame because we just moved to Westchester and host a lot of private events.

We wanted to make it special, but during these difficult times it was very hard to find a place that would accommodate any private seating. That's until my husband found Chef Tara. She opened up her beautiful home and allowed us to create the most memorable 5 year anniversary, and most memorable dinner we will ever have. Chefs Tara skills in the kitchen are truly like no other. She created the most beautiful five course meal filled with everything we love. The octopus was one of the best ones we ever had. The salad was a perfect light touch and all with seasonal vegetables from her garden. Then we got into the pastas. Both homemade, and both out of this world. We finished our dinner with her Chilean Sea-bass, that could quite honestly be the best one we will ever have. On top of chefs Taras cooking skills, she also was amazing company, and opened up her home/kitchen as if we were apart of the family! Thank you Chef Tara for making our anniversary one to remember. We both look forward to the next time we get to enjoy your company, and your food that makes my mouth water just thinking about!

Tara recreated our wedding menu from the place card alone, it was French theamed and multi course, including three different entrees (we ate well!) and along with her server Suzette they made our evening. Friendly, timely, amazing food, low pressure, cleaned everything up behind them, played with the dog! They did everything for us that night so all we had to do was roll into bed after they left! Tara mentioned she does events from small (we were just 2 ppl) up to 100+ Will use again. And I cannot wait.
