When a few of our logistics and number of guests changed, Greg was able to re-calibrate and provide a beautifully served meal that was on time and elegantly plated.

I cannot recommend Tara highly enough. I found Tara as a referral from a friend who raved about…read moreher, but having experienced her being our private chef for the night I don't think he went far enough! 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.

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!

I took the Sewing bootcamp 101 class with Emily as the lead instructor. It ran from 10AM-6PM with a…read more1 hour lunch break at 12:30, I spent $310. We received a run down on how the machine works, learned how to thread the machine and how to fill the bobbins. Then we made a denim tote bag. This was super easy and really fast. After lunch break is the 2nd project. If you don't have your fabric, the school can sell you fabric directly inside for $16 a yard. I bought my fabric elsewhere and brought it in. I honestly recommend doing this instead of buying it from them. Because you have to wash your fabric like how you wash your laundry regularly since it shrinks naturally. We picked our patterns and I made a skirt since a skirt is faster than pants. They recommended not to make pockets or else I'll run out of time. But I HAD to add pockets. Women's clothing have little or no pockets regularly. The instructors are extremely helpful and friendly. and they immediately notice if someone is struggling or stuck. This really impressed me. For example, when I was threading the bobbin, the spool of thread was running out. The teacher was immediately behind me with a brand new spool of the same color so I can swap it out when it was finished. That was a great eye for detail! Overall, highly recommend. Just bring in your own 3 yards of cotton fabric, already washed and dried, for the 2nd project!

Such a fun and worthwhile activity. Booking was super smooth, they were very responsive over email and it was easy to reserve a slot. I also love that they have multiple locations including 34th Street, Broadway (Brooklyn), and Montclair, NJ. Julian (JuJu) was an amazing instructor! Super outgoing, patient, and made the class such a fun experience from start to finish. I really appreciated how thorough he was when explaining each step, along with all the helpful tips and tricks throughout the class. We made tote bags, which are perfect for spring/summer, and I was so impressed with how they came out! I'll absolutely be back to try more courses. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cute solo activity or something fun to do with a friend!

Vesta Chocolate is one of those places that reminds you how thoughtful food can be…read more We shared a half brownie and a peppermint hot chocolate, and both felt intentional rather than indulgent for indulgence's sake. The brownie was rich without being heavy, balanced, and clearly made with care. But the hot chocolate is where Vesta really shines. The staff is genuinely knowledgeable about the makeup of the drink, not just the menu language. You can choose your preferred milk, and they explain how each option changes the experience. That kind of attentiveness matters. It tells you they know what they're serving and why. And the homemade marshmallows? Soft, pillowy, and quietly perfect. Not an afterthought. A finishing touch that elevates the whole cup. Vesta feels curated without being precious. Warm without being chaotic. A place where craft, knowledge, and comfort meet in a way that feels grounded and human. I'll absolutely be back.
