Lena and her team were fabulous! I worked with Lena to put together a 12-person dinner for my…read morebirthday party recently. Not knowing anything about the NYC chef culture prior to working with Lena, I was a bit nervous about what the quality of the food and service would be like. However, Lena and her team quickly settled these nerves. Here's my breakdown of the experience: Pre-Event Date: Lena was extremely responsive throughout the entire process and was great to partner with in catering the menu to my likes / dislikes as well as taking into account any allergies amongst the group. Day of Event - Arrival / Setup: Lena and the two waiters she came with arrived on time and quickly settled in and got to work to help set the room / table up. I was somewhat surprised how little I had to do to get everything setup. Food: Every dish was excellent and all 12 people agreed! The presentation and taste was top notch and I felt like I was at a Michelin star restaurant. The dessert was heavenly and I enjoyed every last bite! Waiters: The waiters were extremely thoughtful and professional. When each guest arrived, the waiters greeted them and took their coat / bags to hang them, which was a nice touch. They also ensured our glasses (wine and water) were never empty. Before they left, they cleaned up the kitchen and washed all the pots, pans, and dishes that were used for the night. I would 100% recommend anyone to work with Lena. I plan to work with her again in the future!

We had a great time at the tasting and they were such gracious hosts and prepared more than we had selected. In the end, we know we made the right choice as the food received so many compliments from our guests. Throughout and after the wedding, people continued telling us how delicious everything was. There were many different dishes and dietary needs to coordinate, and the team handled the event smoothly while working well with our venue.

This place already offers good quality based on being located on Oak Tree Road in Edison, Nj (which is a staple for the best Indian food in the NE). The catering here was next level, however.

They also had dosa making machines, servers to make chaat, etc. The back of our venue had a ton of indo-Asian options. Like there was Manchurian, green Thai curry, kimchi, and papaya salad.

Stephanie was a pleasure to work with, her staff did an incredible job making sure everyone was fed and happy, and the food was phenomenal. We had an all vegetarian wedding, and even the most ardent carnivores told us how much they loved the food. Before the wedding, Stephanie impressed us with how frank, straightforward and helpful she was. She has a huge menu, but was completely willing to make substitutions or additions to her dishes in order to fit everyone's needs. She was also really flexible about what would and would not be included--she was happy to let us pick our own drinks and table settings, for instance. At the event itself, everything went beautifully. The food was even better than the tasting, and line management, passed appetizers and the bar were all handled beautifully. The staff was incredibly sweet and helpful, and were very flexible in response to our somewhat unplanned reception (we asked them to move the tables back to make more room for dancing midway through everything, which worked--we changed our minds about a cake cutting at the last minute--no problem). The cake was probably the most delicious cake I've tasted--incredible for a big wedding cake. It's a good thing that my wife is now stuck with me, because I intend to gain about 20 pounds working through leftovers :). Hire this woman.

Next to the Chatham Green complex and across from Police Plaza there is a pop-up serving meals, breakfasts and lunches, that I had been overlooking, to my detriment. They call it a "summer pop-up" so this sorely needed source of prepared meals is in question as to how long this will continue. They have tables set up on the sidewalk, that is sparsely trafficked. So you can enjoy a nice quiet meal, unlike the others that are located next to busy streets. Don't mind the police barricades, as the street is fully open to pedestrians. I am so satisfied. I had the pulled pork sandwich. The pork was so tender, delicious on nice quality Italian bread. The food was served up promptly, and hey, for the Manhattan location, and quality food, prices are more than reasonable, and this is a bargain with a capital "B". The menu changes with the day of the week. You can see them online at www.deborahmillercatering.com.

Everyone had an amazing time and thought she and her staff were terrific. I am already speaking with Abigail about my next event (a dinner party!). I wholeheartedly recommend Kind Table for any catering event!

New York Deaf Theatre is a non-profit that was celebrating their 35 year anniversary and I, as part of the fundraising committee, wanted to put together something classy, yet affordable, for the guests in attendance. From the beginning, Abigail was open and flexible in the planning. We devised a Plan A option of three hand passed appetizers and a Plan B option with two appetizers and a stationary table of fruits, veggies, dips and breads. As the event got closer to "opening night", Abigail was willing to work with the head count and budget to assess which plan we could put into effect. This is so rare in a caterer. Usually once something is down on paper there is no room for adjustment; however, in our case it was truly hard to predict how many people would be able to attend the event. Kind Table found a way to fit with us, not the other way around. What an asset! What a relief! Furthermore, the food itself was truly delicious and filling. We wanted to provide the guests with something interesting and flavorful but that also left them feeling satisfied. Kind Table delivered on every aspect of that. I just loved the olive tapenade! Everything had an air of sophistication with food pairings, and yet did not feel snobby or too upper crust. Additionally, Abigail was willing to adjust one of the appetizer options to literally cater to a guest with severe dietary needs. She provided the same filling and flavorful options to this guest while working within her strict dietary guidelines. A huge, huge Thank YOU for this. On top of everything Abigail and her team at Kind Table provided New York Deaf Theatre, they even threw in a complimentary melon tray that was just stunningly plated. Really unique. I recommend you look into Kind Table for your next event, and know that Abigail is making exactly what she describes and is pictured on the site. Everything is honest, accurate and delicious.

From the beginning, Chef Rossi was warm and welcoming and immediately shared my excitement about the wedding. What I love most about TRS is that everything is customizable and Chef Rossi wants to make sure her food reflects the wedding vision. She paid attention to every little detail I asked for. Creating a menu and signing an agreement with her was such a breeze! Closer to the wedding, her administrative team was totally on top of every change and request I made. I felt at ease going through a walk through, setting up the timeline, and making sure all bases were covered. They have years of experience and that was certainly demonstrated from beginning to end. On top of all that, her food is some of the best food I have ever tasted in my life. It is not typical wedding food and we received hundreds of compliments throughout the reception. Every item on the menu reflected who my husband and I are as people. Chef Rossi is an extremely unique caterer and we absolutely loved every second working with her! Thank you thank you thank you! The TRS helped us create memories that will last a lifetime!

She was friendly, fun, and extremely helpful. She went over everything having to do with cost up front!! The tip, tax, rentals, etc. And when she gave us an initial estimate, and sensed (correctly) that it was out of our budget, she happily told us where and how to make cuts and found ways to save us money. We felt totally at ease and then came the food... AWESOME!!!! She invited us to not one, but two tastings. We loved everything. We liked her first menu, which was a perfect fit for our theme, so much that we only ever made ONE menu item change. The Raging Skillet went above and beyond, supplying me with an inventory of what mixers, sodas, and juices would be needed so I could go buy them myself and save more money. The day of the event, the staff was amazing and the food was fantastic. The right amounts at the right time and all the appetizers and main dishes were outstanding. We received numerous compliments on the food through out the event. Honestly... Through every step of the way leading to the wedding, I felt I could never have done it with out Chef Rossi. She is an amazing person who cares about her clients and delivers top notch food.

Upon first impression of my order inquiry, Phil who I assume was the manager was extremely helpful and provided suggestions for my specific taste.

The team provided everything I needed for the raw space within my price range; napkins, plates, cups, decor, a server and food. As the bride, I was unable to taste the food ahead of time, I also trusted the opinion of the person that referred me.
