I booked a tasting with Chef Mike for my husbands 40th birthday on Friday 1/14. He was on time and…read morebrought a soirée of delightful foods that he was planning on cooking for us. There was also some interesting cooking tools he prepared in our kitchen as we watched with amazement. He was extremely personable, funny, charming and each course that he made was absolutely delicious and I am still thinking about the mouth-watering foods we ate! My husband was more than surprised and he said this was the best present he ever received! His favorite/ the pork belly, scallops, duck and key lime pie! We would love to have chef Mike back for future special events! If you want to book a tasting or just have a chef come over and cook for you I would highly recommend him!

Jason made the private chef dining experience so fun and engaging from the first time we talked…read more He was very open to our ideas about the menu, but also asked great questions about certain tastes, foods, herbs, etc. that we all like and dislike to be able to put together a cohesive 6 course meal that everyone enjoyed thoroughly. During the event he gave us space to hang out and be together without being obtrusive, but yet was right there as soon as we were ready for the next course and happy to explain cooking and flavor techniques anytime we asked. He clearly loves food, loves thinking about flavor profiles and combinations, and that joy and passion made the experience memorable - not to mention, we all got to take home his engraved wooden spoons (such a cool gift!) and lots of leftovers! Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, delicious, but unpretentious, dining experience.

Chris was very patient helping me to choose a menu in a price range that worked well for me. We did a largely Asian theme and everything was great! Our meal included a noodle salad (with asian vegs), grilled eggpplant, garlicky green beans, chicken sate and a beef kabob. He also made a platter of lovely cookies and bars for dessert which were very popular. The service was prompt and everything was very nicely plated. I would highly recommend BLF for your next catered event.

I worked with Logan, who was the most patient person on the planet as I changed the menu 3 times! Each time he was helpful and quickly sent out a new invoice. He worked within my budget and made great suggestions for food to fit our brunch theme. On the day of the event, the food arrive promptly and was setup very quickly. The delivery man (who's name unfortunately slips me) was super friends and helpful. The food itself was hot and delicious. There was no left overs, the guest loved it and many asked where we got it from. Clean up was easy as everything is disposable. Would definitely use them again for my next event and I recommend you do as well!

I am a pescatarian and was worried that the only thing available for me would be pasta and (hopefully) wine. What a surprise I had in store! There were plenty of veggie items that were as filling as any meat dish...without being carb heavy. I also want to mention that the chef and assistant were top marks! They were very knowledgeable about their offerings and additional services and their business in general. They also knew equally as much about their food ingredients; nutritional value, etc. That really impressed me and made me look forward to our upcoming Cinco De Maya event even more!

Now this company has gotten to the point where they are making knowingly false comments to…read morethird-parties in an attempt to blackmail me into taking my reviews down. This behavior is beyond unprofessional, which was my grievance in the first review to begin with -- not that they made a mistake with my order, but that their response to their mistake was rude and unprofessional. There were several points since MAY this situation could have come to a peaceful end, or at least an end, period. They could have refunded me and the issue would have been resolved and I would have updated my review to reflect that. They could have done nothing, or they could have responded to the reviews myself and my family left, and then we all move on with our lives. Instead, she decided to make up factious stories for no other reason then to defame and harass me. I once again question how many people were bullied into taking down honest reviews because this company is willing to resort to unethical tactics to try and suppress bad reviews. I stand behind my original review and every time this business decides to take irrational and spiteful actions against me, whether it be through her lawyers or members of her family stalking my Linkedin profile, I am more convinced in my assessment that this business is unprofessional. Since Sara has already responded to my review and I've written my rebuttal, I personally see no reason to update my review or to write new ones. However, if she continues to slander me, then I will continue to update my reviews to reflect the chaos that she is deciding to perpetuate. I will, however, under no circumstances, take down my reviews. The facts stated are truthful and the conclusions I've come to are my opinion.

I attended a 50th Birthday party for a friend that was catered by Lester a week ago. It was a BBQ…read moreparty with roughly 20 people attending. The food was magnificent. The timing of apps and main dishes brought out from the kitchen to the back yard was perfect. He brought everything he needed into the kitchen early on, set up and went to work. A cheese plate with marinated olives was first out. Homemade hummus, delicious. Small lamb meatballs served with homemade yogurt dip so nicely spiced they were a treat for the tongue. Huge shrimp wrapped in bacon and grilled, outrageous. BBQ chicken wings with a slightly sweet glaze....really good stuff. Now I'm kind of a foodie, as they say; and I know smoked meats. Lester's smoked baby back ribs served on a bed of collards were unparalleled. I'm telling you the big three local BBQ joints in and around Boston don't compare. Really. His BBQ sauce is homemade and I pray he bottles it. He made it seem effortless and after he cleaned up the kitchen and patio you would have sworn no one had been there that night, let alone cooked in the kitchen. Do yourself a favor.......call this man next time you're entertaining and you actually want to spend time with your guests. Oh man, I almost forgot about the vegetarian pressed panini sandwiches and the little crab cakes with chipotle aioli. -MB
