First, Chef Trish and staff: Friendly, engaging, hardworking, attentive to details. As a group which included young children running around we never felt that we were in the way. Trish made us feel like we were part of the cooking adventure. Chef Trish's food: farm to table, locally sourced delicacies, outstanding use of spices and herbs. The explanation of each course along with the pop quizzes of hidden ingredients made our special sit down dinner so much fun. The myriad of new tastes over the 3 days was a wonderful gift to our taste buds. Chef Trish's clever use of different herbs, vinegars and spices enhanced the flavors of her Asian Shrimp appetizer, the Iberico pork, the Wagu beef....and so many other dishes. The compound butter using Asian scallions was so delicious we were eating it on anything we could find the next morning. From the charcuterie board to the blueberry and cottage cheese cake, everything was outstanding. As an aside...I greatly appreciated the kindness Chef Trish showed my Grandson when he needed to cook his own food. He has extreme food allergies and she gave him complete run of the stove while talking to him about allergies and how he could enhance some of his food. Their interaction was priceless. They spoke to each other like old friends. What compassion. I would highly recommend Chef Trish and her staff for small, medium or large gourmet, fun events. Barb L

Really disappointed with this company. Communication was frustrating from the beginning -- super…read moreslow to respond, and I constantly had to follow up just to get basic questions answered. It felt like I was chasing them down every step of the way. Details kept changing, nothing felt organized, and I never felt confident that they actually had things under control. It was stressful and not at all what you'd expect from a professional service. Would not recommend based on my experience. Definitely not reliable, and the lack of professionalism made everything harder than it needed to be.

I contacted Maria, and she said she would let me now. She stated that the bartender went to a wrong address and now wasn't coming. she inquired about the other 2 servers. NO ONE showed up! Party was over a week ago and I have yet to receive my refund for my deposit. I would NEVER use Maria at Simply Serving again. I have reached out to her numerous times and no response and no refund.

He even was fine with cooking across the hall in my neighbors apartment which made the night even better. He asked me a lot of questions to make sure the night went perfectly and the timing was on point. Now to the food. IT WAS AMAZING! I highly recommend this company!

Everything that came out their tiny kitchen tasted like heaven. Here are the things I had the opportunity to eat and their ratings: * Sweet potato with special sauce 5/5 * Mini Fish tacos 5/5 * Mini chicken sandwich with cauliflower bites 5/5 * Mini slider 4/5 Everything was fresh, delicious, and hot. I think hot is important to note because if you've had catering at an outside event before, sometimes it's just cold finger foods and it's not always tasty. Not Forks and Fingers! All of it was hot and fresh! Totally recommend! Did I mention the service? Absolutely wonderful. Each server was dressed well and took great care to ensure that even the furthest corners of the event were served. 100% recommend based on food and service.

I used them for my sister Bridal Shower and Wedding Welcome BBQ. Both events were two different styles - semi-formal cocktail party and BBQ style. F&F nailed it on both events. Food was excellent. We have an Indian/ Caribbean background so spices and flavor is important to us. Flavor was spot on - food was tasty. I might even say their curry might be better than mines. The attention to detail on the tables decoration was spot on for both events. They captured the essence of each event. Ali was honest and helped tremendously with coordinating rental, scheduling, setup, etc. Each menu was personalized for each event as well. I highly recommend them for any events. I will definitely be using them again.
