Above and Beyond was absolutely fabulous on our wedding day. Guests are still talking about how…read morewonderful the food was!! The shmorg, dinner and dessert were all amazing. Jill also acted as a day-of coordinator and everything was seamless. She worked calmly and professionally behind the scenes with all vendors to keep the day flowing. I didn't worry about anything that day and it all worked out perfectly. We had a lounge-like vision for the party: no assigned seats, a mix of table sizes, and a buffet of tapas style plates that would get people moving around the space. Jill made this happen and it felt seamless - she was endlessly positive and full of ideas and solutions to make the event feel festive, COVID-safe, and flowing. No one ever had to wait in line for drinks - bars were plentiful and well run. My husband and I sat at a small table together which she thoughtfully prepared ahead of time with a full array of food so we actually got to eat a little that evening! I HIGHLY recommend Jill and her team and hope to attend more of her events in the future!

We are so incredibly grateful to Above and Beyond and their entire exceptionally talented team who…read moretruly made our son's bar mitzvah shine in every way. At every single turn on both Friday night and Saturday we were completely amazed by their talented and patient staff, completely thrilled by the delicious and beautifully presented food and completely overwhelmed by the gorgeous presentation of every single element of the experience. I know that we were typical clients, but they treated us in a way that made us feel so totally special and it elevated this to such a perfect celebration for us. Our son was thrilled in every way, and virtually every one of our guests commented in some way on how delicious the food was, how amazing their team was, and how seamlessly the staff handled all of the various transitions especially in such a challenging and crowded space. We are so appreciative of everything Above and Beyond did to make this special, and every way in which you made this easy for us, and especially for your flexibility at the end dealing with our last minute details. It felt mind-bogglingly complicated for us, but it was to everyone who came and celebrated a truly delightful, happy and fun celebration--and even more so for our son. He was thrilled and so were we. We can't wait till next time and look forward to endless opportunities to recommend you to everyone we know. Thank you for making our celebration complete.

Fabulous caterer. We hired Meiganne to cater our son's bar mitzvah luncheon and we were not…read moredisappointed. 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 found Meiganne Serrano Catering by reading the reviews here on Yelp. I figured why not?…read more Everything said on yelp was positive and good. Better then good. Delicious food. Excellent service. 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.

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.

Katy and Jonathan had a great selection of seasonal, farm-to-table dishes to choose from and we had full confidence that the dishes would be excellent regardless of what we actually selected. In addition, the team managed the bar, setup, breakdown, and rentals at the venue we selected, as well as coordinating with the florist, balloon vendor, and dessert vendor. Their team is kind, responsive, and experienced and I cannot recommend them highly enough. There was an abundance of food and they have very competitive rates. We were able to get a family style dinner without breaking our budget. My wife and I have experienced many elements of their business, from catering (at our wedding and at other events), to dining in, to COVID takeout. Every time, the quality of the food and service has been top notch and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic time in a magical, whimsy and woodsy space! BYOB (and share with your neighbor). Expect dinner to be a long/late night affair but a totally worthwhile experience that you'll leave from having made a new friend or two. Almost like a baby Brooklyn version of Woodinville's Herbfarm. The food was great, though not quite filling. Would definitely recommend their catering/event services. After ringing the doorbell, you're invited through the warehouse doors into a commercial kitchen studio where the magic happens (Tinkerbell herself cooks here). Highly recommend checking out a Pixie Scout event -- to anybody who LOVES Hudson Valley food and farms and culinary exploration. They also offer workshops and classes in topics such as Preserving, Butchering, Fairy Dust on Your Spice Rack, and Being Generally Awesome (maybe not the last two).
