Great neighborhood bakery & cafe restaurant! I was looking for something different for office lunch…read morewhen I stumbled upon Mimi's Plate. They are more of a dine-in place and NOT an efficient office lunch take out place because it took a long hold time on the phone to place the order for the office of 7 people. So be warned. When I went to pick up the food, place was buzzing with energy. They had nice case full of baked goods and staff all looked busy but energetic. I saw that there was a whole dining area to the left (doesn't look like it from outside!) that was PACKED with happy lunchers! The cashier let us know that they open Saturdays for amazing brunch, so I made a mental note to try. Onto the food... #7 Turkey sandwich (5/5, Main) - Delicious. Juicy, fresh-tasting turkey piled high and dense (like sando is HEAVY...) with cheddar, grilled onions and Russian dressing. Hello! Seriously packed that homey flavor but better. Crowdpleaser. #8 Turkey meatloaf w/ cheddar sandwich (3/5, Main) - My order because I'm a sucker for meatloaf. It turned out to be slightly dry but I suppose you can't make it too saucy if it's going on a sando. It also had nice heft but ended up being a bit too heavy and one-dimensional. #7 was better. Indian Red Lentil Soup (3/5, Side) - Something to wet our palate (literally). Homey flavor, but not a standout. We tried ordering one more time and office agreed that this place isn't good for office lunch because they had no online order and because they're too busy with customers, both time we had to wait like 10 minutes and then the person did not speak very well and just took a long time and a mistake in the order. But I'm sure that dine-in is going to be a different story! If you want a homey Russian-style cafe food from a passionate Russian lady chef, give this lovely neighborhood cafe a visit. You won't be disappointed!

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!

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.

This wedding hall venue sits on the water... this is the selling point here…read more I came to celebrate a wedding of a close friend and loved the room we had the event in. It was small yet cozy. As for the food, it was buffet style... good, but not lavishly good. Could be what the groom & bride chose rather than a menu option. Nontheless, this was a fun night and great experience. FYI: On site valet service for parking.

So where can I start with this--- Had my dad's 6oth birthday…read moreparty here on Saturday May 10th 2025. We had visited this place in January and fell in love with it, and thought that it was perfect due to the view of the water, and the cocktail hour as well as ballroom plus the bar. Also due to large families on both sides, we were looking at catering halls to have my dad's party at. It was a perfect setup! This was also the first place we went to while party planning, and the one we decided on, ultimately due to price. Can't remember the name of the person who helped us, but very communicative and understood our needs. My only suggestion is to maybe provide the planning people to try their food. He listened to our needs, and was accommodating, which is important. Even threw in cocktail hour options for us. Party day was Saturday May 10th 2025. Loved the outdoor area as being outside was enjoyable. Cocktail hour was also enjoyable with foods like chicken dumpling, coconut shrimp, and more! They had plenty of cold stuff like pasta salads, salad, butternut squash, and some fruit. Only feedback is maybe more items like potato salad, maybe have some of the hot items so that people can just get up and get more. then came time to be inside the ballroom-- and it was beautiful and big! There was dancing, cocktails, and fun galore. Loved my shirley temple that i ordered-- with the waitress. Speaking about the waitresses, they were very pleasant- however, they did take items off the table that maybe someone wasn't done with that item. Trust me, i've been a server at a restaurant- silent serving is a thing, but never assume someone is done, or take their plates without asking. that's my only feedback-- oh and my mom asked that the favors be on the tables, and there was 2: a bottle opener, and something else plus a pen. My mom asked to evenly spread out throughout the tables, but some people got the same favors..... okay. Maybe whoever did that didn't know that there was 2 different items. anyways. Food was also very good: our option was menu options with pasta, which was penne ala vodka, salad, and an entree choice of figlet magion, salmon, and chicken sambolka. There are more options for the dinner, but we chose that. Food was very good, and lots of people like their food. I liked the salmon, for instance. others like their steak, although the lighting made it look well-done when they ordered medium! lol Sundae bar was the best, but there should have been more toppings like gummy bears, or worms, chocolate syrup, whipped cream! Athough kudos that they had both vanila and chocolate ice cream. Cake was also very good and moist too! Loved it here and highly recommend!

Chef Lauren worked with us to personalize the menu for my partner's milestone birthday celebration and provided a full service dinner for 40 guests in our apartment with compelling warmth, confidence, and the utmost professionalism. The food was mouthwatering from the first tantalizing passed hors d'oeuvres all the way to the desserts which, by the way, included triple chocolate brownies with raspberries on the side. Everything was perfectly flavored; clearly prepared with great care and the finest ingredients; and presented beautifully. We are over the moon and our guests haven't stopped talking about the flavorful food and wonderful service. On top of that, our kitchen was left sparkling clean and there was an awesome stash of irresistible leftovers waiting for us in the fridge to help keep the memory of an already unforgettable and delicious evening alive for just a little while longer. Professional, on time, everything was as promised and beyond.

Nestled in an upscale million dollar neighborhood in Tahan, New Jersey on the border of Rockland…read moreCounty, this little Catering jewel is ideal for family celebrations or corporate events. Valet parking and the car was returned in the same condition we left it. The service was friendly and professional. A clear sign of excellent training was when I approached a server at the cocktail reception to inquire about my allium allergies, she immediately brought the banquet, maître D to discuss the options for me. It was clear that the allergy was not communicated to the establishment or within the establishment. Nonetheless, the concern was handled with care and thoughtful professionalism. The options that were still available to me or communicate communicated, and I had a wonderful meal. The grounds and garden are well designed for outdoor services. In this case, an outdoor wedding. Chairs were comfortable, and the fountain in the background created a lovely atmosphere and photo opportunity. The one critique I have is that no covering such as a gazebo or tent, was insight and thunderstorms were eminent. If I could recommend anything to the management, it would be to have this option on hand to avoid distractions from the actual ceremony. When thunder crackled in the background, we secretly hoped that the service would come to an end in time. Everyone was dressed in evening attire, so a gazebo or tent would have been appreciated. We were not inside more than 15 minutes when the skies did open up. Catastrophe averted. With the exception of one server who spilled wine on my son's newly pressed shirt, Service was meticulous. In the case of the red wine incident, this could have been averted by wrapping the wine bottle appropriately in a service linen. A little more training in this area would be recommend recommended. All in all, a solid four star event. The filet mignon, French green beans, and magnificent desserts were a five star Cleverly, our hosts prepared and end to the night with a coffee station and Donuts cleverly hanging on Hooks. The donuts were exceptional. It's difficult to rate without knowing the cost per person so I am limiting my rankings beginning with a five star and deducting minimally for a couple of challenges in service. The banquet maître D was exceptional.

Friendly, timely, amazing food, low pressure, cleaned everything up behind them, played with the dog! They did everything for us that night so all we had to do was roll into bed after they left!

She created the most beautiful five course meal filled with everything we love. The octopus was one of the best ones we ever had. The salad was a perfect light touch and all with seasonal vegetables from her garden. Then we got into the pastas. Both homemade, and both out of this world. We finished our dinner with her Chilean Sea-bass, that could quite honestly be the best one we will ever have. On top of chefs Taras cooking skills, she also was amazing company, and opened up her home/kitchen as if we were apart of the family! Thank you Chef Tara for making our anniversary one to remember.

I've…read morebeen eating at Sam's of Gedney Way for years and had tried their catering at a Taste of WhitePlains event a while back. The passed hors d'oeuvres we had were over the top. A combination of land and sea--Filet Mignon with Arugula and Horseradish Goat Cheese (amazing!), Outer Banks Crab Cakes with mustard caper sauce, and Crisp Coconut Shrimp with chili lime sauce (mouth watering as I recall them). As a vegetarian option, the Brie & Roasted Shallot Tart with caramelized fig chutney went so well with the red wine I was drinking. Other good gnoshing with their Classic Antipasto platter and a couple of platters of Shrimp Cocktail. For the main course, we had Tuscan Chicken with artichokes, and sage in a lemon butter sauce, along with a Penne Pasta with Prosciutto, grana and peas in a light tomato cream sauce, and huge platter of grilled vegetables. They cut up the chicken small enough so that you didn't need a knife, making it easier to eat in a cocktail setting. The entrees hit the spot and weren't too heavy after all the appetizers. Since I had already hired someone for the night to work the party, I opted for them to drop-off the food. They wheel it in in these giant containers that keeps everything the right temperature until you need it. They gave us instructions on how to heat and serve everything. Nothing was dry or soggy. And they set us up with all the serving pans and platters. All in all, they were helpful in providing guidance on which food to order. Calling Caperberry for the next party.
