    Working with Purslane, and especially with Michaela and Justin, was a highlight of our wedding planning, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had such excellent partners in producing our event. The staff, especially Michaela and Justin, are responsive, friendly, accommodating, and professional; the space is gorgeous and beautifully maintained and operated; the food and drink were bountiful and delicious, and the service rivaled any of New York's fine restaurants. Best of all, the process of collaborating to make our wedding happen was easy and fun, and Michaela and Justin made us, the nervous engaged couple with a million things to manage, very confident that our day would not just go as planned, but would be a beautiful success. And indeed it was! Of all the people we worked with. Michaela and Justin deserve special mention. They are excellent communicators, responsive to the million questions and people that wedding planning entails. They are proactive collaborators, laying out a clear process and schedule not just for the day, but for the process of working to plan it. They provided useful, detailed documentation at every step of the way, including a very helpful list of recommended vendors. Every meeting with them was fun and friendly, but also productive, punctual and a good use of time. And of course, the food and wine tastings were delicious. Michaela and Justin were so helpful in giving us a sense of how the venue would perform in a situation we wouldn't get to experience until the day itself. They guided us expertly, making shrewd suggestions we might not have considered ("Since you have an open bar, we recommend choosing a heavier vegetarian entree.") My wife and I had a unique vision for our event, and these two not only assured us that it was possible, they worked with the park to accommodate myriad details, even down to the selection of lightbulbs. It's no exaggeration to say that without their help, the event would not have had the specific atmosphere we imagined, nor would it have been the roaring success that it was. All the confidence they inspired along the way paid off on the day, when Michaela, Justin, and their staff were a machine. The service was prompt, helpful, and invisible; the food was great, not losing too much in the translation from tasting to event; the wedding ran perfectly smoothly, with Purslane on top of the schedule, keeping the momentum of the night alive as they moved tables, served each course, operated the bars, and so on with perfect cadence. We are so, so grateful to Purslane for making our wedding a true dream come to life. Our only regret is not responding sooner to their lovely post-wedding thank you note, and for taking so long to write this review! To you recently-engageds with so many decisions to make, let me help you with this one: your search is over; just hire Purslane. Photos by Sarah Kuszelewicz, flowers by Grace + Grit.

    Tl;dr: Not only were Naturally Delicious (Heather Levine) the perfect partners for our wedding in…read moreany circumstances, but Heather helped us navigate an exceptionally difficult situation that emerged two weeks before, and we couldn't recommend them more. At the outset of planning our wedding, we had a strong vision for the event, but lacked a fundamental understanding of how we'd put it together, the flow throughout the night, and the logistics of the more do-it-yourself venues that we were most interested in. Once we met Heather Levine from Naturally Delicious (ND), and started working with her, it became clear that ND were the perfect partners for our event. Heather had years of experience producing events in our venue and others like it and experience producing a variety of types of events. Heather had on-point suggestions for every detail of our event, whether it be food, run-of-show, liquor, rentals, or anything. About two weeks before the event, we faced an unexpected crisis. We don't know what we would have done without Heather generally, but especially during these two weeks. Our bi-weekly emails with Heather turned into multiple calls and texts a day. Alongside no small amount of coaching (bordering on counseling at times), Heather helped us repeatedly communicate with all of our loved ones about the event, and tirelessly worked across our vendors and venue to make many significant, last minute adjustments. Overall, we couldn't recommend Naturally Delicious and Heather Levine more!

    We got catering from Naturally Delicious for a 150 person alumni event in Soho, and we were really…read morepleased by the professionalism. We had a handful of platters of hor d'oeuvres and an open bar with two bartenders as well. I really appreciated the lengths our contact, Melissa, went to to make sure the event was successful. Since we were uncertain about our budget until the very last minute, we had so many changes (adding and subtracting platters, including the open bar, etc.) and requests. Melissa very willingly accommodated and worked with our limited budget to provide the best food and service. We were even making changes until a day before the event! The food was set up and delivered an hour and a half before the start of the event, which was a great relief for the event planners and a burden off our shoulders. The lovely bartenders were experienced and worked quickly, so there was hardly ever a line. Clean up was easy and fast, and Naturally Delicious worked with our space limitations to make the process super seamless. The food itself was all cold since we didn't have access to a kitchen to heat it up, so it wasn't as appetizing as some of our guests had hoped. However, I think this was more a result of my menu selection than anything Naturally Delicious did. The catering was a bit on the pricier side, but it's well worth it for the professionalism. If I'm planning catering for a future event, I will definitely turn to Naturally Delicious again!

Bites Bk was my 1st choice, but due to timing I looked elsewhere. Lo and behold I ended up calling Claudine anyway... because my heart and belly wanted some of her cake. She took my call, brainstormed with me and came up with THEE perfect cake! I am normally anti fondant, due to its lack of taste. Claudine assured me taste would not be an issue... of course she was RIGHT, or I would not be writing this review! The cake became the centerpiece of my event, receiving positive reviews from my guests and coworkers! Months later... I was fortunate enough to work with Claudine on yet another event. This time we went the way of foods for a baby shower. Two words: JerkTains! If you havent... stop reading and order NOW! The sweetness of the yellow plantains combined with the jerkiness (yes I made up a word) of the meat... I knew this was going to be a hit! But you know, yoi cant just order ONE thing right? As a fan of Claudines work, I gave her the okay to bless us with custome cookies AND chocolate covered oreos, all within the colors and themes of the event! I cannot wait to host another event. I mean, if they start doing meal plans IM IN! Claudine you NEVER disappoint honey! Bites BK for ALL of your catering needs! The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!

Had I known how great BK Bites would be I could have spared myself HOURS of fretting. Claudine really knows how to run an excellent business. She has a responsive and professional staff who showed up promptly with the array of beautifully prepared appetizers I had chosen. They were even ABOVE and beyond serving and setting up a raft of additional catering items my daughter had required. That was one aspect of the job I was quite concerned about, but I need not have worried. Claudine is very responsive to the client and took charge of our every need for this event. She even showed up personally with her crew to get everything in place before our party. The food was excellent too. I love the variety of appetizers we picked. (fruit skewers, beef satay, caprese skewers and cucumbers w hummus along with empanadas.) You don't need to worry about a thing when BK Bites is in the job! thank you, Claudine!

Even when I made changes to my original selections they were accommodating. We had to do an uber courier pick up but an issue impacted delivery (the driver lied and canceled the trip). It didn't matter. The very lovely lady on the phone went out of her way to keep a look out for the new driver and had the food in the car with the quickness. Shout out to Mica! Food: 9/10 We had baked ziti, fried chicken, turkey wings, potato salad, peas and rice, Mac n cheese, greens, peach cobbler and banana pudding. Everyone loved the food. Literally no complaints and they wanted to know where the food came from because they wanted to visit it personally. Nothing was burnt. Everything had flavor. Fresh food. Crowd favorite was Mac n cheese. I personally thought the ziti was superb. Portions: 10/10 I got good amounts and was very happy about that. Pricing: 10/10 you get bang for your buck. Other competitors want damn near $30 a head talking about it feeds 5 people for $150 (I know the math is off. Relax). Top Tier knows their customer base and their neighborhood. You will feed your whole family without going broke. And the food is good. Would I order from them again?: YES. I've ordered as a regular customer every now and again so I knew the food was good enough to consider for my event. But now that I see how good they are with catering they are top of my list moving forward. You should consider their business if you're in the market to order a plate or feed your people at your event. You won't be disappointed either way. Shout out to Top Tier.

I was able to taste the honey garlic wings off someone else's plate and I liked those better. I was offering a trade, wing for wing lol. The yams and mac and cheese were good! The portion sizes were pretty generous, and I appreciated that. I didn't finish everything, though, it would've been a big win if a side like cornbread came with the meal. Still, a solid spot. I'd give it 4 stars.

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.
