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.

Dish is AMAZING. They catered our wedding celebration in May 2024, and we are absolutely overjoyed…read morethat 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!

We have used Chef Mellanee and The Fork Goes On the Left for all of our big events at our home…read more Just this week she catered the fundraiser we hosted for Congressman Greg Meeks. What has me work with Chef over and over again is her attention to detail, the professionalism of her staff, the ease in which she makes working with her and of course the amazing taste of all of her dishes. Chef Mellanee ensures everything looks beautiful...from the set up to the arrangement of the food on the dish. If you're having an important gathering, big or small, you need to have someone of Chef Mellanee's caliber to help ensure a successful event.

Chef Mellanee Harvin, and her Team, are the epitome of excellence. I was scouting a caterer for my…read morewedding, and was referred to Chef Mellanee by my Best Friend, who had been following The Fork Goes on the Left's Instagram page. Chef Mellanee's page, filled with tantalizing spreads, set in entrancing presentation, made a foodie like myself, instantly interested. Upon speaking with Chef Mellanee, I was immediately taken by her warmth, easy-going nature, patience (because, I asked SO many questions, on multiple occasions), and polished professionalism. Though I had nothing solidified, in terms of a venue, or even a wedding planner, Chef Mellanee offered me much guidance, and recommended a venue, which eventually led me to connect with my future Wedding Planner! I was presented a set list with a plethora of hors d'oeuvres, Buffet and Dinner compilations, and a separate drink menu, should an open bar be desired. Though many fantastic options were listed for consideration, Chef Mellanee informed I could inquire about offerings not listed, also. On the day of the tasting, my then-fiance and I, had car trouble. After speaking with Chef Mellanee, she graciously offered to extend the appointment to a reasonable time. By a miracle of God, we made it to the tasting, with 20-mins to spare. Upon entering Chef Mellanee's presence, we were immediately put at ease. The highly stressful event we'd been through, began to melt off us. Music played, in the background that set a loving mood. My beloved and I, sat at a table set for us to dine like royalty. Each course was impeccable, and Chef Mellanee checked to ensure our thoughts about each dish, were of genuine satisfaction. After our meal, and offering our final decisions, Chef Mellanee brought out a card game for us to play! It was a sweet game, made to enhance connection between a couple. We loved it! On the day of the wedding, upon entering the venue, I was told by my wedding planner to check a bag that had been left in my changing room. There, I found a white box, embossed with The Fork Goes on the Left emblem. Inside sat a few wonderful items, and a thoughtful, sweet note, that I keep in mind each day. From the time of service to the end of the night, everyone raved about the food, and service, rendered by Chef Mellanee, and her A+ Team. The food was well seasoned, and delightfully satisfying, speaking to our guests' Caribbean background, and elevated tastes. Chef Mellanee's team were the epitome of polished professionalism, courtesy, and joy! What also caught my eye, was how well Chef Mellanee's Team had her back. Before my husband, and I, were to take a picture with Chef Mellanee, the same lady on her Team, stopped to fix Chef's collar, to ensure she looked her best - I LOVED that! It spoke to everything we saw that evening, that contributed in so many ways, to their supreme level of service. Great trust, comradery, and respect worked within their Team dynamic. If any Bride is considering catering services, please, look no further than The Fork Goes on the Left. The level of care, and pampered service you, and your guests, will experience, will undoubtedly make your event, a day or night, to remember. As I said at the beginning of my review, Chef Mellanee and her Team, are excellence, personified, and, even more than that, they are genuine people, who care about each other, and their client. For an elevated, white-glove experience, look no further, and book, The Fork Goes on the Left.

Stephanie was a pleasure to work with, her staff did an incredible job making sure everyone was fed and happy, and the food was phenomenal. We had an all vegetarian wedding, and even the most ardent carnivores told us how much they loved the food. Before the wedding, Stephanie impressed us with how frank, straightforward and helpful she was. She has a huge menu, but was completely willing to make substitutions or additions to her dishes in order to fit everyone's needs. She was also really flexible about what would and would not be included--she was happy to let us pick our own drinks and table settings, for instance. At the event itself, everything went beautifully. The food was even better than the tasting, and line management, passed appetizers and the bar were all handled beautifully. The staff was incredibly sweet and helpful, and were very flexible in response to our somewhat unplanned reception (we asked them to move the tables back to make more room for dancing midway through everything, which worked--we changed our minds about a cake cutting at the last minute--no problem). The cake was probably the most delicious cake I've tasted--incredible for a big wedding cake.

Next to the Chatham Green complex and across from Police Plaza there is a pop-up serving meals, breakfasts and lunches, that I had been overlooking, to my detriment. They call it a "summer pop-up" so this sorely needed source of prepared meals is in question as to how long this will continue. They have tables set up on the sidewalk, that is sparsely trafficked. So you can enjoy a nice quiet meal, unlike the others that are located next to busy streets. Don't mind the police barricades, as the street is fully open to pedestrians. I am so satisfied. I had the pulled pork sandwich. The pork was so tender, delicious on nice quality Italian bread. The food was served up promptly, and hey, for the Manhattan location, and quality food, prices are more than reasonable, and this is a bargain with a capital "B". The menu changes with the day of the week. You can see them online at www.deborahmillercatering.com.

Abigail and her team put together an incredible array of passed appetizers for our fundraiser last…read moreweek. New York Deaf Theatre is a non-profit that was celebrating their 35 year anniversary and I, as part of the fundraising committee, wanted to put together something classy, yet affordable, for the guests in attendance. From the beginning, Abigail was open and flexible in the planning. We devised a Plan A option of three hand passed appetizers and a Plan B option with two appetizers and a stationary table of fruits, veggies, dips and breads. As the event got closer to "opening night", Abigail was willing to work with the head count and budget to assess which plan we could put into effect. This is so rare in a caterer. Usually once something is down on paper there is no room for adjustment; however, in our case it was truly hard to predict how many people would be able to attend the event. Kind Table found a way to fit with us, not the other way around. What an asset! What a relief! Furthermore, the food itself was truly delicious and filling. We wanted to provide the guests with something interesting and flavorful but that also left them feeling satisfied. Kind Table delivered on every aspect of that. I just loved the olive tapenade! Everything had an air of sophistication with food pairings, and yet did not feel snobby or too upper crust. Additionally, Abigail was willing to adjust one of the appetizer options to literally cater to a guest with severe dietary needs. She provided the same filling and flavorful options to this guest while working within her strict dietary guidelines. A huge, huge Thank YOU for this. On top of everything Abigail and her team at Kind Table provided New York Deaf Theatre, they even threw in a complimentary melon tray that was just stunningly plated. Really unique. I recommend you look into Kind Table for your next event, and know that Abigail is making exactly what she describes and is pictured on the site. Everything is honest, accurate and delicious.
