I hired Big Al's catering for an International Conference of our Association. I was NOT…read moredisappointed! I wanted food for 70 of our VIP's that would represent NYC and our culture and appeal to an international palate. NYC has some of the best restaurants in the world and my audience was sophisticated so I had to carefully choose how I approached this meal without missing the mark. We decided to highlight Harlem and the grassroots music of New York for our theme and after tasting several traditional caterers and being unconvinced I followed a lead to Big Al's Catering. Al was professional and responsive to my RFP quickly, and when I tasted his food it was done (He had me at the Bourbon Bread Pudding!). His pricing was (surprisingly) affordable and the delivery and execution was excellent. Highly recommended!

We had the pleasure of having Scott, Chef Vita, and their staff cater our wedding. They were an…read moreexcellent part of our dream team! From the beginning of the process, Scott was responsive and worked with our schedule for the tasting. We were able to make a selection from many dishes and after trying their food we were sold! Especially the NY strip steak with bleu cheese! We received so many compliments on the food and many of our guests even went to compliment the kitchen team themselves! The Balinese chicken turned out to be my favorite, but they were all amazing! They made way more than enough food for everyone and brought containers for our guest and us to take the leftovers home. We love not wasting food! With our budget, we were thinking we could only get a decent caterer, but we lucked out with LDV. They are without a doubt one of the best in the business! They catered to our needs and even made suggestions on how to reduce cost. In our case we brought our own drinks for their bartender to serve, which helped reduce cost. This turned out amazing and our bartender, Mark, helped make it a smooth and tipsy night for our guests! Last but not the least, their service was top-notch. They helped with the buffet so people there would be no crowd and made sure everyone got their food in a timely manner and even made plates for my husband and I so we didn't need to take the time! We were ecstatic with the service and it was one of the smoothest parts of the entire wedding. 5-stars all-around.

When you hire a caterer for a special event you're just taking a risk unless someone you know has…read moreworked with them before. But we didn't have that luxury. Here's why we jumped at the chance to work with Scott and team: - no problem or request was too much - every email or phone call was returned - they kept every commitment: timing, cost, and of course, the food. Now let's get to the food. Word one: abundance. So much variety, all fresh, some surprises (gourmet jerky with a perfect French mustard) perfectly displayed despite the limitations of the space. The passed hors doevres were prepared on site and were delicious, beautifully served, and ample. For reference, this was a wedding cocktail reception for 30 people, Mid day, I would absolutely hire Scott and LDV for a similar event and I would not hesitate to have a full dinner catered under his watchful eye. Note: Scott's staff were professional, poised, and friendly.

I'm sooooo disappointed that I can't give a higher rating for this restaurant - I really am. I've…read morepassed by many times and it's always crowded. I finally decided to go in and get a meal to go. The first thing is that they have ALOT to choose from and EVERYTHING looks nice and fresh. They have plenty of veggie offerings (greens, corn, beans, etc), pasta, chicken, fish, oxtails, mac and cheese, etc. they even do smoothies. I ordered bbq chicken with green beans and mac and cheese. The servings they give you are HUGE (three pieces of chicken and a large scoop of mac and beans). So what's the problem you ask??? The food had NO seasoning whatsoever. Not the mac, not the green beans, not the chicken. I was sooooo disappointed because everything looked amazing. Now I will say that I've gone to other Caribbean restaurants and always order Caribbean entrees (like oxtails) so maybe that's what I should have ordered. So I'm going to be fair and try them once again and get my usual Oxtail meal and hopefully I will be pleased. Update to come soon.

A review post rescheduled event:…read more Overall, our guests were comfortable, the sound system was good, the room was clean and airy with high ceilings and needed minimal decorations. There was room for our food and sweets tables as well as for a small dance floor which was appropriate for our intimate event with close family and friends. As an event space, the sky tower room delivered all of the things we were looking for. ---------------------- The space was clean, easy to access from the Highway, there was street side parking for our guests as long as they arrived early. The general manager Shanita(?) was there cleaning from a prior event and greeted us at the door at 2pm. It was good that we started the event later (4pm) than our reservation started (2pm) because our DJ had to work with event staff and call the owner because our DJ was having trouble connecting to the system. We followed up with staff onsite to make sure we revived the ice, serving trays, and table linens that were included in our package. We decided not to follow up about using the projector/tv screens after being brushed off when we asked for the other included amenities, but there were two large flatscreen TVs behind the sound booth. There was another event happening at the same time in the smaller room next door and we could only hear them (and assume that they could also hear us) if the front doors were open. At one point a guest from the other party clogged one of the toilets so it was shut down. The site manager was there to direct people to the right room and to shut down the room that was out of service. We started cleanup at 8 pm and we did our best to clear the space of debris that was generated by our event. The contract was very specific about prohibited activities (IE: no tape. No confetti etc) so we wanted to be sure to keep up our end of the deal especially because some of our decorative balloons popped and made a mess. The manager came in at 9pm and let us know that she would handle the rest if we got our items out of the space. We (clearly) did not have the best time negotiating the terms of the rescheduled event especially when we wanted to switch event spaces. Beautiful site. Lovely amenities.

Today I ordered another one and when the young woman handed me the sandwich I was confused, it felt like she forgot to put the meat in it!

I felt so had that I actually gave it back to her and said that I couldn't bring myself to pay $11 for bread. I think if you raise the price it's to keep the same quality but to raise it and still make the sandwich a quarter of the size is not fair.
