The food is farm to table and always arrive in neatly packaged containers every Sunday evening so we have dinners stocked to enjoy the following week. I have had meal services with others before and this is by far the most skilled cooking of farm to table meals. I think it's a good value. One recent review I read was really not fair about "scam". That's just not true but I understand the frustration that led to a misunderstanding. I know the owner/chef was busy and working to try improve their marketing, ordering app, and communications. It's a small business so you just have to contact her directly if there is an issue and she will take care of it. I did that every time and I was patient because I want this good cooking to last to feed my family. Seems like great people. I've spoken to her and met the staff who deliver food to my house. We look forward to ordering each week!

This business owner is a scammer! Don't be deceived by the older reviews left for the past owner of…read morethis business. The new owner is a scam artist! I made a mistake of signing up for 4 weeks of meal delivery, and now I am out of hundreds of dollars. The first delivery was 2 days late and required multiple attempts to contact the merchant to get the ordered meals. Week 2 meals were delivered but be aware, if you happen to be in the shower when they show up with your delivery, they won't leave your meals on your secure porch and will just drive away with your order. Week 3- NO DELIVERY, NO CALL, NO EMAIL. Again, I had too contact the merchant to try to figure out where was my food. Days later got a response that they had an issue with their refrigerator and simply neglected to let me know!!! With over a thousand dollars already tied up with this merchant, I had to scramble to purchase food for my family elsewhere. Due to the "NO CALL NO SHOW" for the week 3 delivery, I politely asked the chef to immediately refund me for the remaining 2 weeks worth of food that wasn't delivered. I explained that because they failed to honor their contract, I had to make other arrangements for the meals. The merchant NEVER REFUNDED me for the remaining 2 WEEKS worth of food that they NEVER DELIVEREDA. I ended up having to contact my credit card company, and guess what? The merchant is lying to my credit card company, claiming they delivered all 4 weeks worth of meals! I am reaching out to the Office of the Attorney General and filing a fraud complaint next. Stay as far away from this thief as you can!

The Pot Pie turned into 2 or 3 lunch meals, the Meatloaf was a fantastic dinner for two (my lady friend thought I hand made it and was blown away). Last but not least the hummus and sliced cucumbers were an amazing Pallette cleanser and paired well with the Roasted Chicken. I'm hooked, never cooking again. All meals come prepared in an insulated bag and are frozen(ish). Just pop the food in the oven for a few moments, or freeze the food for storage. You will wow ANYONE with your easy to prepare meals.

What kind of professional chef scopes out your refrigerator to see if you have any orange juice on hand to serve you--orange juice you've already paid HIM to purchase? Let me back up. I hired Chef Giovanni to prepare a birthday brunch for 3 people. Chef Giovanni quoted a price of $75-$100 per head for brunch--depending on menu selections. However, after I selected my items, the price suddenly catapulted to $500! For that price, you'd think the menu selections would include caviar, or truffles, or something other than the chicken w/couscous, crepes, omelets, potatoes, salad, apple tart, banana flambe, orange juice, and coffee we agreed on. When I responded that $500 was entirely over budget for three people, he lowered it to $330--the highest I could go. Should've heeded the red flag when he called the morning of the brunch to ask the time of the brunch. Later, he was professional enough to text to say he'd be late. I didn't see it, but my sister noticed that while preparing our meal, Chef Giovanni used spices from our cabinet and was about to pour our own orange juice into our glasses and serve it to us! However, there wasn't enough juice to go around so he put it back in the fridge. On top of that, we were served buckwheat crepes (instead of regular) and several of the menu items were omitted. Even coffee! With the exception of the delicious banana flambe, the food was overloaded with ginger (not a fan of ginger) and otherwise quite plain and uninspiring. I'd prefer less than average diner food. Chef Giovanni was unwilling to compensate by way of a free dessert or even a single dollar returned. A nice personality does not make up for bad character. Thank goodness another chef (Chef PK of PK's kitchen) saved the weekend celebration with a tasty, well-presented dinner only two days later.

We recently hired Chef Bailey to prepare meals for us after welcoming our newborn, and we couldn't…read morebe happier with the experience. She worked with us to understand our preferences, what dishes and ingredients we liked (and didn't like). We selected her 3 entrees and 3 appetizers package, and every single dish was healthy and delicious. We are vegan so they were all plant-based. As busy parents, having these meals taken care of was a huge time saver. And it was a great way to eat healthy yet flavorful foods when you don't have much time to cook yourself. Chef Bailey handled everything from cooking to cleanup to storing the dishes in Tupperware, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the food without any extra stress. If you're looking for a chef who understands dietary preferences, delivers outstanding meals, and provides a seamless experience, my wife and I highly recommend Chef Bailey!

I honestly can't decide who loved the food more: the teenage girls with their surprisingly sophisticated palates... or my husband. The birthday girl felt like an absolute princess. She had the best sleepover, and the food was the clear highlight. Multiple girls independently said the same thing: "This is way better and much more flavorful than Chipotle." And listen--teenagers do not agree on anything, so that says a lot. The flavor is truly indescribable. The chipotle chicken was unbelievably tender, and the chimichurri skirt steak literally melted in your mouth--the kind of good where people pause mid-bite just to look at each other. Every single item was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly prepared with care and pride. It should honestly be a crime to make meat, chips, guac, and corn salsa taste that incredible. The service was just as impressive. The delivery driver was right on time (early, actually!), friendly, and professional, and even offered subtle but incredibly helpful tips on the best way to set everything up--those thoughtful touches matter when you're hosting a house full of teenagers. B. Lin Catering brought flavor, ease, and joy to a milestone moment for our family. I will absolutely be ordering again and recommending them to everyone I know in DC. Run--don't walk--to book them

I had to skip the burrito and fajita bars but the portions were massive and everything looked good.

**Review for Well Dunn Catering**…read more Well Dunn Catering delivered an absolutely extraordinary experience for the 125 Years of Forestry reception. They transformed what is normally a standard office space into a dreamy, elegant setting that felt straight out of a premier ballroom. Every detail--from the décor to the lighting--radiated sophistication and creativity. The staff was exceptionally professional, friendly, and attentive at every turn. Their seamless coordination made the evening feel effortless. The chef's menu was nothing short of Michelin star-worthy--each bite offered a delicious blend of seafood and savory meats that left guests raving. The tea-smoked duck, in particular, was a standout favorite and gave the event an almost otherworldly touch. A special thank you goes to Sara H., the event planner of the century. Her attention to detail, genuine warmth, and thoughtful touches elevated the entire experience. She has a rare talent for making every interaction feel personal and every event feel magical. Thank you, Well Dunn, for doing exactly what your name promises--an event that was *well done* in every possible way!
