I was really impressed with the number of hors d'oeuvres on offer, as well as the variety! We noshed on mini hamburgers, chicken on biscuits, baby cubans, some cheesy thing (I thought it was a quiche but my roommate said it was a quesadilla), and some kind of rice ball with dipping sauce. And the desserts! Whoa. Chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick, anyone? How about chocolate mousse cups? Chocolate chip cookies? Yes, please. I'm pretty sure they also brought the bartender, who served up some stiff drinks. These guys were professional, efficient, and made some seriously tasty food. Word.

Cuisine Chez Vous catered my wedding on 6/5/10 and the experience was just fabulous!…read more Walter, Michelle, Fiona, and gang were all amazing! From our initial meeting to the final event, everything was perfect! The food was amazing and not at all like some of the wedding fare I've had in the past. The food during our tasting was delicious and it was replicated exactly on our big day for about 200 guests. Definitely what a starving bride ordered :) Between the mini burgers Stilton jam, Parmesan crusted artichokes, prosciutto wrapped mozzarella, Carolina BBQ on a cornmeal cracker and ALL of our wonderful entrees (including a Gorgonzola stuffed chicken that was out of this world) I was definitely testing the limits of the strength of my corset! Walter was great to deal with throughout the process and I can't begin to describe how impressed I was at how Michelle and Walter paid attention to every detail I described for the big day. I had spent nearly 16 months preparing every detail and to leave it in someone else's hands for my wedding day was a difficult task. The reception hall, tables, candy bar etc. looked exactly like how I envisioned and I couldn't have been happier. They did an absolutely fantastic job. They also did a great job in dealing with a couple of wedding related hiccups, including our earlier than expected arrival to the wedding reception and the thunderstorms during our outdoor cocktail hour. The transition and how they dealt with everything was smooth and professional. EVERYTHING was taken care of. Fiona did a great job with the cake design and from going off just a few internet pictures of what I desired she hit the spot! The cake flavors were delicious and the design beautiful. In terms of cost, I met with 3 other caterers in the Boston and metro-west area and all were very similar in pricing, rental costs, etc. There wasn't anything that seemed out of line and they were very willing to work with me on the budget and food items were requested. Of course no good caterer is cheap and Chez Vous was a hit to the pocketbook, but it was expected and a very worthwhile expense. All in all just a fabulous experience with great, friendly, professional employees, fantastic food, an eye for detail, and genuine care towards your event. The day couldn't have turned out better

I eat several times everyday -usually tasty and health foods- but when I have a meal prepared by Mike Betts, I am quieted in awe and appreciation. Refreshingly novel recipes, stunning presentation, and precious ingredients. In addition, the opportunities that I have had to interact with Mike have felt warm and engaging. Though obviously sharp and experienced, he didn't seem hesitate to let his passion for food show when I chatted with him in kitchen. He even taught me a few things! Recommend seems like the wrong term... Put this in your list of things to experience before you die, like see Machu Picchu, or listen to a symphony play your favorite classical piece. I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to enjoy food prepared by Chef Mike Betts.

We felt like it really demonstrated that you can have a 100% plant-based menu at an event and have it be crowd-pleasing. Thank you for everything, Forklift! We'd love to work with you again.

They were always available to address any question or concern and were so adaptable to every plan change (down to just days before the event). They even functioned as our florist and arranged breathtaking floral displays to enhance the ambience. The catering staff and chef produced and provided great food that were the highlight of the event; I heard from everyone how much they enjoyed it (even had some on-call colleagues who gladly answered our calls because they knew they were going to be fed great food during their shift). Forklift is a top recommendation for any high-caliber catered event you might need.

Such delicious food, wonderful tea, and a really lovely set-up. I liked it so much that I thought of them to cater my mother's 60th birthday party. They came to the house, brought flowers, decorations, everything, really, and made the party memorable. My mom was thrilled and the party was really wonderful. Everyone loved the food (the scones with clotted cream and hat cookies were my favorite) and the house looked amazing with plants and flowers brought inside as it was raining. Really great company and amazing events. Thanks, ladies!

While many companies have been more than understanding with clients and providing refunds at some agreed percentage, including wedding venues, it was unfortunate one of my girlfriends did not have experience that with private chef, Maureen. Instead of offering sympathy, Maureen instead declared the deposits were non-refundable (this was no where stated in the contracted) and since the notice was given less than 30 days, she was not obligated to refund at any measure (another policy that was no where stated in the contract or her website). While my friend continued to try and work with her, Maureen had went on to call her, "entitled", "close-minded" and "immature." I don't think it's immature to want to keep a group of people, including Maureen, safe from the virus. Telling us our only option is to reschedule within a 90 mile radius when we have no idea when this pandemic will end is not helpful. I've been in the hospitality industry for year and I've had a handful of clients actually yell in my face. In no situation would i EVER respond in such a such a way. I was speechless and incredibly disappointed. Many of us are faced in financial hardships but what I've always found to be true is you need to give in order to get. Would not recommend by any means.

The dinner catering for a salon. It was very generous and of good quality…read more Tuscan Vegetable Platter: It included various fillings such as red and green bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, and mushrooms, but my favorite was the tomato confit--intensely tangy, refreshing and very appetizing. The mozzarella cheese balls were rich and creamy, slightly chewy, and I couldn't stop eating them. However, the hummus was excessively salty. Charcuterie Platter: The salami and capicola were rich in fat but incredibly salty. The pepper ham was tender and had a strong smoky flavor with a slightly spicy aftertaste. I personally preferred the latter. Hot Brie Rasp Almond Fillo: This was my first time trying it. Because it had been out for too long, the crust was a bit dry and hard, but the filling still had a rich, sweet berry flavor. Hot Spring Roll Vegetable with Sauce: A colleague who likes spring rolls said it was pretty good, but it looked too dry and hard, so I didn't try it.

There was one vegan/gluten free option, which was a veggie hummus wrap.

Not sure if it was a mistake or intentional, but either way I don't think it should have been in there.

Over the course of the evening our guests raved about each of the dishes that JJ and her team put together. In the days that followed, we continued to hear from friends about how much they loved the lamb, lasagna, etc., even while we were still enjoying the leftovers!
