You are working with the best with Norbert and Holly with My Chef Lara!…read more I sent out a few inquiries for chef services before moving forward with My Chef Lara. And I am glad that I did!!! I had a specialized diet that I had previously struggled with and had absolutely no idea how to move forward with food preparation but I knew that it was important that I research professional services for assistance. Norbert and Holly expertly made menu recommendations, scheduled a delivery date, and before I knew it...I was 100% prepared. I am a busy professional and their care and skillful execution were priceless! Working with My Chef Lara continues to be a wonderful experience as I now utilize their services instead of other food delivery programs. This team is incredibly professional and very responsive. Superior delivery. First-rate service. I am remarkably pleased! I would highly recommend their services. By the way - order the brussels sprouts with bacon...trust me!

The food was AMAZING! We chose family style because we are friend. There was so much food, we had the leftovers the next day! Norbert and his team were immaculate. He shared great stories about the food and his background. They created a personal menu for me. I cannot recommend them more highly than I do now!

After seeing maven's delicatessen on Instagram, I had to come here…read more It was a blistering hot day out, and I walked into a pleasantly air-conditioned establishment. Loved the atmosphere and the place was spotless. One of the waitresses seated us asked us if we'd like a drink and pickles with coleslaw. We said yes pickles were great. Coleslaw was very vinegary. Was not a fan of that. We both ordered half a pound of pastrami sandwiches with Swiss cheese and mustard. The pastrami was very lean and sliced very thin and that was good. But I found the pastrami lacking in flavor. I think I was expecting pastrami like they sell at Katz's deli or the old now closed Carnegie's in New York. Would come back to try other things.

I really wanted to like Maven's. With all the hype surrounding this place, I expected something…read morespecial. After several visits, though, I'd describe it with one word: meh. To be clear, the food isn't bad. It's perfectly edible. The problem is that it's also remarkably average, especially considering the prices they're charging. Nothing I've ordered has made me think, "I can't wait to come back for that." It's just...fine. We actually visited during opening weekend, and it was a bit of a mess. They ran out of pastrami, which is a pretty big problem for a deli that was generating so much excitement. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because opening weekends can be chaotic. Since then, we've been back several times hoping things would improve, but the experience has been largely the same. The biggest issue, aside from the food being average, is the service. It's consistently slow. I can understand waiting when a restaurant is packed, but we've experienced long waits even when there were very few customers inside. It feels like everything moves at half speed, and that's been true on multiple visits. I also think they're trying a little too hard to be Katz's Delicatessen. That's an incredibly high bar, and instead of trying to recreate that experience, I'd rather see them focus on becoming the best version of themselves. Right now, it feels like the ambition exceeds the execution. The one thing I will gladly compliment is the bagels. They've been excellent every time we've ordered them, and honestly, they're probably the strongest item on the menu. I do think there's plenty of room for improvement, which is why I'm giving two stars instead of one. There's clearly potential here, and I genuinely hope they find their footing because I'd love to have another great deli in the area. We'll probably give them another chance down the road, and I hope I can come back and update this review with a much more positive experience.
