From start to finish, Zoli and the entire staff were nothing but accommodating, friendly, professional and attentive. It was the party of lifetime and we have been getting calls all day from family and friends thanking us and telling us what a great time they had, how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. It was the first time I hosted a big event that I was able to relax, dance and just have fun knowing everything was in good hands. I HIGHLY recommend!! PS- I used the house vendors. The balloons were perfect, photographer was great and easy to work with and the DJ, MC (Chris) and dancer kept the party alive from start to finish. Cambell's bakery provided delicious desserts. A big thank you to everyone!

We are quite familiar with the location as we constantly go to Seaholm Wines (review available) to stack up on wine and supplies. I walked in and spoke to Mary. I explained to her our plans. She was very helpful! She assisted me in putting the menu for my event together. She explained to me all details of the food menu for the party and even did variations of what was in the catering menu to accommodate our needs. Besides the food, they provide juices for the mixers, ice, bartender and the servers. The staff arrived 30 minutes before the arrival of our guests. (They usually ask for 1 hour but we requested for 30 mins). They went to work immediately. The staff was very nice and professional. When guests arrived, appetizers were immediately passed and the bartender offered drinks. They were constantly ensuring that all guests had enough food and drinks. At the end of the party and when guests departed, they stayed for a while longer helping clean up the dishes and area. Plenty of leftover food was nicely packed for us and placed in the refrigerator. This is a place I highly recommend for all of your catering needs. As Franco C. said, a little pricey but it is worth every penny. Service is fantastic and food is delicious. A place I will use again!

I felt like I was at a New York City festival with the diversity of foods. I mean Gigantic Grilled Squid?! Yes please!

I got the lobster flight which included a cheeseburger, a surf and turf burger made with crab,. All of the burgers were good, but the fried lobster slider was my favorite. It was cooked perfectly. And don't let me forget the Rum Cake Man! Hahahaha, who yelled to me as I was trying to leave the festival "GET OVER HERE!!". It was the most aggressive sales pitch ever! LMAO!!

My Yelp Elite friend Tonya thoroughly enjoyed the food from Soronko Kitchen & Bakery Taste of West Africa. My favorite food was the beef empanada from Pansit, a Filipino eatery owned by chef/owner Will. He told me that he bakes his empanadas, and he gave me some white sauce that I dunk the empanada in. The sauce enhanced the flavor of the beef, making it taste so good! Everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves, partaking in the tasty foods. The crowd and ethnic foods were so diverse that the scenery looked like the United Nations. I give the Famous Food Festival two Thumbs Way Up! Be sure to go before Columbus Day ends. That is the last day of the festival.

"Up in Smoke" (UIS) is a fitting name for this business. It is a term used when a plan fails or…read morecomes to nothing. It is also a term used to describe something destroyed by fire. I wish I could say fire was used in the preparation of the food I sampled, but it may have not been used. I take you to the 4th of July 2023. I attended a party which used brisket purchased from this business. A business that falsely describes, on its corporate web site, its brisket as "smoked brisket". See attached picture from company web site. Note: brisket is the most popular meat for smoking, followed in popularity by pork butt, pork shoulder and ribs. The UIS brisket had zero smoked flavor, and tasted and looked like pot roast (brisket is always sliced against the grain and this was not the case here. There were strings of meat when it fell apart). It had the texture of a chuck roast, cooked as pot roast and then sliced in the shape of brisket slices, though not as long. I emailed an owner named Jeff a few days later to voice my concern. He's apparently in denial. Claims the brisket is now Au Ju's style. Meaning, Cooked in liquid. Conveniently not mentioned on their web site. Again, see picture from web site taken today. Au Ju's is kept a secret from those browsing the web site. Why would a bbq business prepare the most popular smoked cut of meat a different way? I don't know. I can speculate two possibilities. One is laziness. Smoking takes time and effort. Throwing brisket in liquid to cook is easy, yet yields horrible bbq results. The other is difficulty smoking wherever they were smoking. Neighbors often complain about smoke in the air. Happened to Smokin' Al's in Massapequa. Their proper solution for Al's was to smoke food elsewhere. Back to the situation at hand. So Jeff tells me that they sell 3000 pounds of brisket annually and I am the first to complain it isn't smoked by a business built on and around smoke. Laughable. I offered to bring in samples of the alleged beef brisket to demonstrate that it is probably fake and chuck roast instead but my offer was ignored. That says a lot about this business. Jeff claimed that all customers are notified of the Au Jus preparation and I confirmed that was not the case here.
