Several guests at our wedding told us that the food at our reception was the best wedding food they…read morehad ever had. While delighted, we were not surprised. We were blown away by Night Kitchen with every interaction, starting with the customized menus based on our tastes (Mini pastrami reubens, as passed hors d'oeuvres? Hello!). Our tasting was the highlight of our wedding planning process. Leading up to the big day, communication was prompt and clear, the service was highly professional, and the food was truly amazing. During our wedding reception, one of our guests became seriously ill (they did not take their medication that day). The team at Night Kitchen acted swiftly and professionally, securing medical attention and escorting the guest with a wheelchair with assurance and professionalism, without drawing attention to the incident. We cannot be more grateful to Chef Aaron and his amazing team!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Night Kitchen! From our very first meeting, they were…read morewarm, thoughtful, and genuinely excited to help us bring our vision for a fully vegetarian wedding to life. They worked closely with us every step of the way--listening to our ideas, offering creative suggestions, and customizing a menu that felt completely us. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Guests are still raving about the passed appetizers--each one more delicious and beautifully presented than the last. Everything was fresh, inventive, and full of flavor, and even our most carnivorous friends were impressed and satisfied. Beyond the food, the Night Kitchen team was professional, kind, and a true pleasure to work with. On the big day, they executed everything flawlessly, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy knowing we were in expert hands. If you're looking for a catering company that's as invested in your event as you are, especially if you want something unique or plant-forward, Night Kitchen is it. They made our wedding unforgettable, and we're so grateful!

This is my first time ordering from Food Trends ("FT") and I ordered the Boardroom Lunch for a work…read moremeeting today, 7/28/22. From placing the order to the delivery of food, everything was exceptional. The delivery guy went above and beyond. He was sweet, professional and absolutely fantastic. He set up everything as the meeting was going on with no issues and always professional. Nothing was missing or wrong from the order and FT provided everything from plenty of condiments, tongs, forks, knives and napkins. Every one of my team members is so impressed with the presentation, quality and quantity of food. Most meeting food is blah and mediocre at best but everything we ordered from FT is fresh and delicious. I am sitting at my desk eating my lunch as I write this review. I could not wait! Their menu offers so much variety as well. We are now starting to have more in person meetings and FT will definitely be my go-to. Thank you! I am upset at myself for not taking a picture but folks could not wait to start eating. :)

I hired Chef Aless for my husband's birthday on 1/26/21 - as indoor dining was still closed in NYC,…read moreand way too cold for outdoor dining, I opted to have Chef Aless come by so we could have the restaurant experience at home. From the first time I got in touch with her, Chef Aless was always prompt with her responses - as it was my first time ever doing anything like this, she helped curate a menu for my husband and I based on our likes/dislikes. I had also gone back to her to switch up a couple items, which she had no problem with either - really appreciate the flexibility! On the day of, she came by a bit early (which was a non-issue for us considering we were idling by at home), and was very efficient as soon as she stepped in - we were served some delicious hors d'oeuvres (fig and brie crisps were divine!), an appetizer (truffle burrata and arugula, with a delicious pomegranate molasses dressing), second course (crab cakes with mango slaw, always a favorite in my book), main course (a perfectly medium rare Pat LaFrieda steak), some sides (a decadent sauce for the steak, creamed spinach and potatoes lyonnaise; if you coudln't tell, we wanted to replicate the NYC steakhouse experience), and lastly, chocolate mousse for dessert (needless to say, it was amazing). And best of all, she left the kitchen spotless, which was much appreciated. I also want to note that it's important to clarify what you're looking for when hiring a private chef, especially as a first timer (like me) - I thought Chef Aless was going to cook everything from start to finish at our apartment, however she actually came by with everything mostly prepared, and left the finishing touches for last. Granted, not everyone has a fully equipped kitchen so I totally understand her coming pre-prepped, but considering my husband and I both love cooking and have a nearly fully-equipped kitchen, we would've loved to see her in action and use the opportunity to pick up some pro-tips. All in all, Chef Aless was an absolute pleasure to work and speak with, and I'm so happy to have found her. If indoor dining is still closed off in the future, I will definitely be keeping her in mind for more special occasions.

I finally made it out to Chef Aless last night and it did not disappoint. The food, service and…read moreatmosphere were on point and we felt like we were is a cafe in Paris.

Booked delivery catering for my daughter's 2nd birthday party, with a menu split between Indian…read morefood for the adults and mac 'n cheese, pizza, and tenders for the kids. What worked well: communication leading up to the event was responsive and thorough, they were flexible in customizing the menu to fit diverse dietary needs, and the kids' food was well made. What didn't: two vegetarian adult dishes never showed up, and a third (chana masala) arrived with no heating tray, so it was cold by the time we served it. They offered a refund for this but have since gone silent despite multiple follow-ups. The food that did arrive was also below par -- the tandoori meats were drowning in an overly acidic gravy, we got tofu instead of the paneer we ordered (and it was tough), and the dosa bites were overcooked and bitter. On delivery day, we were initially told the food would arrive almost an hour later than agreed; it only showed up on time after we asked for a live location tracker (there was a parade causing detours that day, so this delay may not be entirely on them). Overall, despite a promising start, the actual delivery day left a lot to be desired -- missing dishes, inconsistent food quality, and an unresolved refund made the whole experience feel underwhelming for what we paid.

We've used her over the years (when we could get her) for multiple parties large and small, from 8 guest intimate dinners to large 100+ person gatherings. The food is top quality, delicious and she is always consistent no matter the cuisine. I also own an event company I started 3 years ago, and recommend her often to clients who also rave about her food. For a while she got super busy exclusively working for some athletes, but thankfully she's back doing her own events instead of working as a personal chef for just one person! If you're lucky enough to get a booking with her take it. She's worth every penny. I can't say more great things about her.
