Fantastic experience from start to finish. It was an engagement celebration luncheon for 13. Kayla helped us organized it, and when we had to change it to the next day (2 days before) she didn't blink an eye - she just did it with grace and understanding. Our server John B was awesome. From the minute he arrived I started firing instructions at him as we had a very short time to get set up. No task was to small or too complicated, and he really made the event go smoothly and beautifully. Lastly the food was plentiful and DELICIOUS. My guests all loved it. What more could I ask? Answer: nothing. I'll definitely be using them again. read more

Dish is AMAZING. They catered our wedding celebration in May 2024, and we are absolutely overjoyed that we chose them - and specifically that we got to work with Julianna and Michael! My husband and I eloped, and planned this celebration a year later for 80 friends. Dish understood our "vision" of the night from the start - we wanted a relaxed and fun evening, with all of our favorite people and things. They made our favorite foods as the mains (tacos and pasta), with delicious and beautiful hors d'oeuvres, and sooo many incredible sides (the adorable cups of Caesar salad were a huge hit!). The food was absolutely perfect - we had so many unprompted compliments from our guests about the food throughout the night. Including our Nova Scotian friends absolutely loving the lobster rolls, and they would have been the harshest critics! Everything was somehow even more delicious than it was at the tasting. We also had a few gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free guests, and Dish had no problem either adapting or adding options to the dishes to ensure that there would be enough to eat for all the dietary preferences we threw at them! Julianna even made gorgeous signs (to match our wedding website!) that accompanied each food item to ensure no dietary mishaps. We heard rave reviews from our guests about the bartenders and servers, and all the staff were so happy and personable. We have no idea how they managed to pull off so much behind the scenes while literally everyone seemed so cheerful, calm, and professional all night long. My husband and I were truly free to enjoy ourselves and be with our friends without a single thought to logistics, and there are no words for how much that meant to us. Extra thanks to Stella as well, our amazing night-of captain! Beyond the delicious food, the entire experience working with Dish was full of incredible surprises that show just how thoughtful, prepared, and seriously GREAT AT THIS they are. From the moment we walked into the tasting (January 2024) and they had set up the Lobster and Rose cart as an extra surprise, until the very end of the event when they presented us with a tote bag full of thoughtfully and carefully packed containers with some of almost every single dish. They knew, even before we did, that leftovers are one of the best ways to relive the magic! Julianna was truly a godsend every step of the way - menu choices; floor planning; advice on everything - rentals, furniture, DJ; brainstorming ways to make our poutine dreams come true; never forgetting a single detail mentioned in any interaction; and so, so much more. More than that - she did it all with SO much support and thoughtfulness. Dish felt like so much more than a caterer, they were genuinely partners in planning the wedding celebration of our dreams. We sincerely hope that there will be an opportunity to work with Julianna and Michael in the future - thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! read more

I booked Dish for my partners 30th surprise birthday party. Every part of the prep, party, and clean up was seamless. Allyson was the best coordinator. She gave me thorough breakdowns, had quick responses, answered all my questions, and helped me stay within budget. Through her we had the cocktail party package w an extra flatbread station. They were timely, the staff were amazing, kind, didn't let me lift a finger, and practically invisible until they realized I needed something. The chef was fantastic. The chicken and waffle cones, and tuna poke were such hits. I ordered the cake through them as well, I gave Allyson a (ridiculously) detailed breakdown of the cake I wanted and she communicated with the bakery and the cake came out PERFECT and was super tasty! I received tons on compliments and I owe it all to Allyson and the staff. They arrived right on time for drop offs and pick ups the day before the party and after. I highly recommend DISH for all of your catering needs. read more

Michael, DISH did it again. Everything and everyone was fantastic!! Your staff were professional, kind and fun. Ashlyn was fantastic!! She was great at the site visit and was there to help at the beginning of the day. Dustin was a great captain, he kept everything on point and was patient as we kept an eye on the weather to decide if the reception would be inside or outside. Oh yes, the food! The food was tasty and the presentations were lovely. You get an A+ for the coffee. It was delicious and kept me going throughout the day. Many thanks for everything!! You guys are the best! read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Michael and the whole team from Dish! The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. We had an intimate wedding in our family home in Brooklyn, and the entire Dish team impressed us from the start. We had a lovely and relaxed tasting at their Brooklyn location, during which Michael explained all of the ways they could customize the menu depending on our (and our guests') preferences and dietary restrictions. On the day of the wedding, they were exceptionally professional, neat, and conscientious in our home and with my mother's kitchen/china. They were attentive throughout the evening and left the space spotless. Several relatives made a point of telling my parents how much they appreciated the way the Dish servers took care of everyone. We highly recommend using Dish for your wedding or event! read more

I used Dish Food and Events for the first time on May 20th, 2018. I was throwing my annual pre-summer party and my long time caterer was not available. Dish Food and Events did an excellent job and I was very impressed with the quality of the food, the staff, set ups, servings, etc. My guests were also all highly impressed. Large varied menu offerings and very accommodating and reasonably priced. I want to give special kudos to the staff that came to my house - Courtney, Igor and Cameron. They were fantastic and helped make my party a very special event. Special mention also to the event specialist, Michael Guadagno. He was very accommodating , responsive and knowledgeable. He was able to arrange miniature tiaras on all the serving trays (the theme of my party was to celebrate Prince Harry and Meghan Markle nuptials). I will definitely use Dish and Food Events for all my future parties. Steve Rothstein read more

Dish catered our engagement party for 50 people in May 2019 and we couldn't be happier. I corresponded with Allyson via email initially and she couldn't have been more helpful with planning for our event. The drop off was seamless and on time -- the food arrived beautifully arranged on the platters. Our guests raved about the food, specifically the mini lobster rolls and fried chicken sliders. I highly recommend Dish for all catering needs!! read more

DISH was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only did they provide food and drink for us, they also acted as our day-of coordinator and they did decor for us. On the day of... the venue looked beautiful beyond my wildest expectations. The food was every bit as wonderful as we knew it would be from our tastings leading up to the wedding. The service staff was incredible. Everyone was blown away by the food and drinks... the speed of the service staff... how seamlessly it all went down. More than a small number of the people told me, in no uncertain terms, it was hands down the best wedding they had ever been to. Thanks in no small measure because of DISH, my husband and I did not have a single moment of stress on our wedding day. It all just happened. I'm still at a bit of a loss for words but I can tell you this; it was the single greatest day I have ever had. I hope we'll have cause to work with DISH again in the future. For sure I will be singing their praises online and to our friends and family! read more

Michael did an amazing job catering my daughter's engagement party. He was easy to work with and responded quickly to communication. The food was delicious and the the service at the party was perfect. read more

From the moment we started working with Dish about a year before our wedding, everything was amazing. We obviously thought the food and presentation were great when we did our tasting, but the reason we ultimately went with Dish was Evalyn. We cannot express how comfortable she made us feel throughout the entire process and how much of an amazing asset she was to my husband and I from the very beginning. In short - she is wonderful and I can't say any more effusively how much we enjoyed working with her and how her touch was perfect. We felt like we were truly being taken care of by a close friend with Evalyn. She answered any and every question promptly and really helped to make our vision of the wedding come to life. We also hired our day of coordinator, Jess, with Dish and couldn't be happier. Would recommend Dish 100%. read more

Ryan & Bonnie are the absolute BEST! They run a great company of people who truly care about producing a great event w/delicious food! At the start of the planning process Bonnie sat down w/us & found out what our wishes were for our big day. She makes you feel like your wedding is the only one she is working on because her work is so timely, detailed & personal. She put together an entire package of food, special cocktails, desserts, our wedding cake, menus, wedding programs, furniture rentals, event planning services - you name it, she was there for us to help plan and execute it! THE WEDDING DAY WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Ryan, Bonnie & their catering staff were outstanding! They were so sweet and lovely to work with, while also working fast and efficiently-focusing on us, our families & our guests! We didn't have a single worry that day and we enjoyed every single moment-because of Bonnie! The servers operate like a Broadway Performance - delivering each plate perfectly in sync and the food revealed on the plate was fresh and piping hot! I have seriously never seen any catering staff as carefully coordinated as the day of our wedding - it was like watching a production! The food was SO AMAZING & DELICIOUS! We still have guests raving about it to this day! We have been to countless weddings & have seen the aftermath of hiring a sub-par caterer - not good! And many times people say, "you get what you pay for." But I have to say that one of the most amazing things about working w/DISH is that they have very fair & reasonable pricing. The quality of their work truly makes it a steal! It is so important to find people that you can TRUST when you are planning a wedding... Ryan & Bonnie are definitely those people! We absolutely LOVED working w/them & would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing catering company to handle their event! They are extremely talented and all around wonderful people! read more

Thank you Dish Food & Events! Allyson was not only so professional, calm and easy to work with but extremely patient! Everything was delivered on time and set up beautifully in the wooden trays as discussed. Tyler, our bartender was detailed oriented and willing to help out in every way during our event. All of my guests commented on how fabulous he was, this is exactly the help I needed to help me smoothly run my event. We catered the skewers, crudite and spring rolls-everything was delicious and high quality. Dish Food & Events exceeded all my expectations! I will be calling again!! Thank you! read more

I was lucky enough to work with Evalyn and Dish Catering. I had a big event that we were planning for a client of ours, and food and beverage was important. I had enough to worry about with everything else going on at the event, but catering was completely on top of their sh!t. Big salute to the captain, bartenders, and servers. Everyone was very courteous and professional. Would recommend Dish for any event! read more

I worked with Dish for my small wedding this October. I was very lucky to work with Michael who communicated everything so well up until our wedding day. The food was delicious and everyone loved it. The staff was also exceptional. I highly recommend Dish! read more

My husband & I renewed our wedding vows and celebrated our 25th Anniversary on August 27, 2016. I must give Cameron a world of thanks. He is a pleasure to work with and he took all the worry and anxiety from me. We explained everything that we wanted and when he said "don't worry" I knew this was the place for us. We had approximately 80 guests and Camryn transformed the venue from a church like setting for us to renew our vows to a cocktail setting. He ensured that our well - seasoned (90 and up)guests were taken care of. From walking in at 6pm to be greeted by the staff with cool drinks, being served superb appetizers to the plated dinners ....... our guests were truly impressed. Our special day has come and gone but Camryn and his wonderful staff created something special for us that will be long remembered. Thank you so much for your professionalism and most importantly, your attention to our wants. Until next time ........ We LOVE you all!!!!! Charles & Deborah Redd read more

We hired Dish for our wedding reception in June 2012. We wanted a cocktail party-style reception. Bonnie at Dish was very responsive to our questions and requests; she worked with us to find the right menu for our party, optimizing taste, variety, and price. At the reception, our guests raved about the food. The staff (1 chef, 3 servers, and 1 bartender) was friendly and professional and went out of their way to help us. When we arrived at the reception, we realized we forgot our ipod for the background music. Dish's chef, Jennifer Cole-Ruiz, kindly let us use her phone with Pandora radio to access Sinatra music. Choose Dish Food--it will make your wedding planning easier! read more

You can always count on a a top notch event when working with Dish! I've had the pleasure of working with Ryan & Bonnie on many many events and attended several of their tastings so I can officially say I'm a believer!! read more

I used Dish for my daughters school auction and they were terrific! We had to stay within a specific budget yet they were able to offer me a number of great options. Evelyn was so easy to work with. She took care of the rentals and came up with some really cute ideas for our 80's theme. The staff that worked the event evening of was professional and enthusiastic. The wine and beer options were excellent and most importantly the food tasted delicious! We will definitely be using them in the future. Thanks, Dish! read more

We used Dish for a holiday party this year (@50 people, 1/3 kids). It was a relatively last minute arrangement - we called them a week and a half before the party and finalized arrangements just 4 days before. They were easy to work with, flexible with the arrangements to suit our needs, and priced fairly. More importantly, they arrived on time, the food was very good, and the service was great. Presentation was nice, with hot food refreshed repeatedly. The staff was very helpful for all our guests, and did a great job keeping everything clean and flowing, and did a nice job cleaning up at the end. Will gladly use them again. read more

We had a wonderful experience working with DISH for our June 2012 wedding. We looked for two things when choosing a caterer 1) delicious and extraordinary food 2) well-coordinated and organized planning. DISH delivered on both points. Chef Jennifer's food was amazing. She was able to take our ideas about food and what we liked and create inventive dishes. So many of our guests were just floored by how great the food was. It was also so easy to work with Ryan and Bonnie in the planning stages. We had signed with them a little bit late, so I was stressed about getting things done, but they knew what needed to be done and when and kept us on schedule and within our budget. I would highly recommend DISH to any engaged couples. read more

UPDATE: Ryan, Dish's owner, emailed me after reading this review. He asked me to consider removing or editing the review "to be less negative", and asked whether I would speak with him via phone so he could "address" any issues. I immediately indicated a willingness to speak and sent my availability to him. However, Ryan never responded, indicated his availability, or reached out again. read more

We recently used Dish to cater a party and they were a start to finish pleasure. We had a family event for over twenty people and wanted a delicious, sophisticated southern style brunch. They were quick to respond to our questions, arrived early to set up, were lovely to work with and the food was excellent. They left our kitchen spotless and our refrigerator stocked with delicious left overs. Personable and professional and very talented in the kitchen--we would hire them again in a second. read more

Dish Food just catered our 50th wedding anniversary party at Penthouse 45. They truly made the day special. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff were wonderful. Organized, attentive, gracious and accommodating are just a few words to describe how wonderful they are. Our guests raved about it all, from the passed appetizers to the buffet. Thanks to Ryan and his staff, we had a perfect, marvelous day! read more

We used Dish for our wedding on 11-11-11 and we don't know what we would have done without Ryan and his team. From our first meeting Ryan all the way through to the reception, he put both my wife and I at ease. He was professional, organized, accommodating and very creative. I can be a bit of a control freak and needed to work with someone who I could trust enough to let go on my wedding day and just enjoy the evening. It was a perfect fit. We were looking for someone to execute a tapas style dinner for our reception and it was absolutely perfect! We are still getting amazing feedback from our guest on how much they loved the food!! The staff were also amazing and helped to really make everyone feel well taken care of. We can't say enough wonderful things about Dish! read more
