I kept waiting for something to go wrong. This was too good to be true. Nothing went wrong. Everything went, well perfect. From initially meeting with Meiganne and planning, all the way from set up to take down, not one complaint. I am sorry I did not take pictures to share with you. But please try this caterer. You won't be sorry. Our next party, I won't have to look for a caterer again. She, and her crew (which were professional and very friendly) will from now on be our go to caterer. Awesome. Just awesome.

Meiganne worked with us to create a menu that incorporated the usual (ie bagels, lox) but also something different (ie farro salad, trout salad). The result was fantastic. All the guests loved the food. Even the salad dressing was extra delicious. We were also very pleased that everything was organic, fresh, and locally sourced when possible. Meiganne herself was very calm, responsive, and professional - a real pleasure to work with. She handled our request for recyclable/reusable containers and bottles with aplomb. The serving staff she hired were professional and efficient. Overall a really great experience and we will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!!

I had interviewed several caterers before I met Jamie from Viva, and none of them got my vision. Then in walked Jamie from Viva and not only did we hit it off from the beginning but she immediately understood exactly what I was looking for. We worked together over the next several weeks to plan every aspect of the party. The result was beyond my widest dreams. The food was spectacular and beautifully presented. The staff was not only professional and unobtrusive but also fun to have around. No matter what type of event you are planning from an intimate sit-down dinner to a large event, I strongly recommend that you choose Viva Catering. They know how to do it right!

Ms. Carol Foster was extremely attentive through the planning process with great follow-up emails and thoroughness with all the many correspondence through our 1 year of planning. T&C ran our day seamlessly! The team at T&C did the set up and decorating of our tables exactly to my instructions. It was an incredible feeling walking into our venue (which we had rented basically as raw space) and to see it all come together. My vision was executed beyond my expectations! Our guest tables were GORGEOUS!!! Saving the best for last was the most amazing food from the delicious appetizers to the scrumptious home style meal that my guests are still talking about weeks after the wedding. Ms. Carol Foster is an absolute professional and a sweetheart to work with. I miss our correspondence leading up to the wedding!

Lemons and Olives made our 160-person wedding feel like an intimate dinner party, which is exactly…read morewhat we wanted. From our very first conversation, Marko and Tanja at Lemons and Olives immediately connected with our vision: we wanted guests to feel like they were sitting down to a big family meal--simple, delicious, and reflective of the place where we were celebrating. They brought that vision to life beyond anything we could have imagined, creating an atmosphere of warmth, intimacy, family, and incredible food. Working with Marko and Tanja was one of our favorite parts of the process. They are warm, flexible, and creative. They encouraged us to build the menu around dishes we love, resulting in a spread that felt personal and unique. During the wedding weekend, their entire team was fantastic. Every conversation we've had with guests since the wedding has included the delicious food and the lovely and attentive service. Hiring Lemons and Olives was one of the best decisions we made, and we only wish they had a restaurant so we could keep eating their food!

This is a catering / take out restaurant. Originally founded for more high end meals, they turned…read moretheir business model around when covid hit to provide high quality meals for more affordable prices. I've had my eye on this place for a while. They only start taking orders for 3:30 pm onwards. I ordered: - butternut squash soup (4.5/5) - mushroom soup (4/5) - flatbread (3.5/5) - butternut squash ravioli (4.5/5) - crab cakes (3/5) - turmeric hummus (3/5) - ajvar (4/5) - seasonal greens (3.5/5) - tiramisu (4.5/5) It's hard to find a good veggie soup for takeout, and both soups really hit the spot and the portions were surprisingly filling. I am quite the crab cake connoisseur and these ones fell short, but the butternut squash ravioli was excellent. Overall a great choice for a hearty, homemade-feel takeout option.

Masterpiece provided us a good variety of bagels and muffins to start off our day. The food was all fresh tasting, plus we had plenty of options! This made breakfast a great grab and go option before meeting. I ended up having a plain bagel with cream cheese. Lunch was also well done and super convenient! They served sandwiches and wraps along with bagged chips and cookies, and it was delicious! This catering style options worked really well for our group setting. The sandwiches were fresh, the portions were good, and the cookies were definitely soft and scrumptious! My favorite options was the roast beef wrap! The organization of the setup was quick, efficient, and it was ready to go when we needed it. Since we were planning multiple back to back meetings throughout the day this was huge help! I think Masterpiece Caterers was amazing! They delivered high quality food and amazing service!. Everything went smoothly as well!

My wife and I hired Masterpiece Caterers for our wedding. They were the venue's exclusive caterer,…read moreso although they seemed fine, we didn't have much choice. We met with their president, Kevin Mattner, signed a contract, wired Masterpiece a $5,000 deposit, and waited to finalize the details closer to our wedding day. Several months later, we heard from the venue's new exclusive caterer that Masterpiece was no longer catering events there and could not cater our wedding. We asked Masterpiece to return our deposit and were repeatedly told no. First, they claimed the new caterer would honor our deposit. That was untrue, and we had never signed a contract with the new caterer. Then they claimed the venue had our deposit. The venue denied this and told us Masterpiece had kept the outstanding deposits. Our contract was solely with Masterpiece, which had been responsible for the entire event. We told Masterpiece we wanted to resolve this amicably, without involving the courts. By then, Kevin had stopped responding to most of our inquiries, so we filed a small claims case. Masterpiece didn't bother showing up for the court date. The judge asked my wife and me why Masterpiece hadn't returned our deposit. I explained that they claimed the venue or the new caterer had it. She pointed out that our contract was with Masterpiece, not the new caterer. A few weeks later, we received a judgment in our favor for the deposit. You might think that would have been the end of it. Surely a reasonable company, faced with a court judgment requiring it to return a deposit, would pay. When they didn't, we were left wondering: Were they simply unwilling to act reasonably, or did they not have $5,000 plus interest to pay us back? Neither possibility inspired much confidence. Masterpiece still did not respond to our demands for payment. Even after obtaining a court judgment, we had to subpoena their bank and involve a New York City marshal to forcibly recover the money from their account. To recap: Masterpiece took our $5,000 deposit, could no longer cater our wedding, refused to refund us, failed to appear in court, and still did not pay after we obtained a judgment. Recovering our money required bank records and a marshal. Since they never catered our wedding, we can't review what that experience would have been like. We did, however, attend another event they catered after we paid our deposit and before learning they could no longer handle our wedding. The food wasn't great: the braised beef lacked flavor and was a bit dry. They also served something called "vegetable ceviche," which was just pickled vegetables.
