The chefs on staff were all very knowledgeable, friendly, and informative - great educational content during the demonstration of knife skills, followed by a great opportunity to practice hands on with live tutorials! Everyone there was also just really great about getting stuff we needed, answering questions, stepping in where appropriate. One part I definitely appreciated was putting the chicken on the hot plate in the oven after grilling, to ensure everything was fully cooked! Our experience there was inspired by Korean BBQ, and everything was tasty and fun to prepare. All the food was delicious as well, and we made enough to take home a bit! Definitely recommend for a group outing, lots of fun! Oh, they also had accommodations for dietary restrictions, which I can definitely appreciate.

Hudson Table, PRINCETON -- Wednesday evening with friends for a HANDS-ON class themed "French…read moreSeafood Feast." It was far more hands-on than I expected, but absolutely terrific fun! We were provided with everything we needed in perfectly measured amounts, and the cookware, bowls, trays, and utensils were magnificent. Best of all, we didn't have to clean up a single thing -- there was staff for that -- which, in my mind, qualifies as luxurious cooking! This was a true cooking lesson for people of all skill levels. Hudson Table also offers Chef's Counter events (similar to a chef's tasting where they cook and serve you), Chef's Competition dinners and brunches (like the TV shows where two chefs receive the same basket of ingredients and separately create three-course meals for diners to judge), public dining events, children's classes, and private events. The three chefs were exceptionally kind, with Chef Shreve leading the evening's class. He began with a quick demonstration on proper knife handling and vegetable cutting techniques that proved useful not only for our prep that night, but for every future cooking session as well. I was especially awed by Chef Bryan, who managed to rescue a failed egg white whip that refused to reach stiff peaks or that cloud-like texture -- and then revived a stubborn egg yolk and sugar mixture that simply would not ribbon properly. In my own kitchen, I would have tossed everything out and started over! Instead, our Lemon Soufflé with Vanilla Bean and Lavender Crème Anglaise emerged absolutely perfect. Personally, I loved having three skilled professional chefs nearby to answer questions. I've cooked for 50 years but have never had formal culinary training, so I took every opportunity to absorb whatever knowledge I could. It was fantastic. Thanks, also, to Chef Steph for all her attention and helpfulness. The other dishes were very good, though Hudson Table is still relatively new to the area, and everyone is clearly still settling in. It appeared the chefs may not have worked with these printed recipes before, and a few of the instructions seemed to be missing -- such as covering the pot after adding live mussels to the steaming bouillabaisse. From family experience, I know that without a lid, the mussels take far too long to open and can easily become rubbery from overcooking. There were also one or two ingredients the staff had to scramble to locate. Even so, the chefs were fabulous leaders in the kitchen and capably guided all 16 to 20 participants through the evening. I should also add that the ingredients in every dish were top quality and measured with precision. Five friends and I were so impressed that we already booked reservations for the Chef's Counter event in two weeks. Bring it on! So, here's the menu rundown: * Frisée & Endive Salad with Brioche Croutons, Goat Cheese, Pears, and Dijon Vinaigrette Fresh, balanced, and lovely. * Mussel & Halibut Bouillabaisse with Toasted Baguette This recipe needs a little tweaking. We found the broth somewhat underwhelming in flavor. When I make bouillabaisse at home, guests literally fill cups to take the broth home -- or stand in my kitchen dunking crusty Italian bread into the pot until not a drop remains. * Lobster Tail Thermidor A rich, classic preparation with excellent use of cognac and lobster stock. Very indulgent by today's standards... but DEEEELICIOUS. * Roasted Vegetable Ratatouille Another recipe that could benefit from a small adjustment. The eggplant cubes were still somewhat undercooked even after nearly an hour of roasting. Simply stirring the vegetables two or three times during roasting would redistribute the liquid collecting at the bottom of the pan and help prevent the top layer from drying out while ensuring more even cooking. * Lemon Soufflé with Vanilla Bean and Lavender Crème Anglaise FAAAABULOUS. No photos of this dessert because it disappeared too quickly -- but it will absolutely star at my next dinner party!

Working with Twin Oaks & Mike Pelligra for our wedding couldn't have been better! From the initial…read moreemail discussing options for the venue at Rutgers Gardens to the weeks & days before the big day with the MANY emails of me confirming all the details & decorations. Mike was always quick with responses in the utmost professional manner and was very personable. Working in the restaurant industry for over a decade, I was very very impressed by the staff and their attention to detail and being so helpful. They also made sure the bride & groom ate! The day goes by so quick, sometimes you just forget to really sit down! We opted with a buffet style dinner and we did add a PIG ROAST to our menu, which we highly recommend. Mike was carving the pig to order and had a variety of bbq and hot sauces for people to choose from. The presentation was epic & that piggy pig pig.. everyone was talking about it for days! We also had some leftovers that the staff wrapped up for us.. mmmm :) Twin Oaks handled dietary restrictions wonderfully, as when we were first getting into planning we were the most nervous about. This wedding was the ultimate test: Bride having Celiacs (gluten intolerance) & a dozen guests were vegan. Mike made sure every menu was properly labeled (even double checked labels to make sure everyone could read them properly) & everyone was fed, with vegan guests getting their own meal. Overall, I would recommend Twin Oaks to anyone looking to have an exciting meal on their big day with great staff to back it up! Thank you so much Twin Oaks for making our Wedding Day even more spectacular! No wonder you have been in business for 33 years, you really know how to do it right! :) Love, Lisa & Mike

This past summer, my wife and were married at The Barn at Gravity Hill. Sal and his team at Wood…read moreCraft were our caterers. I find it a struggle to convey how much Sal's hard work and talent meant to making our wedding the day we had dreamed of, but never really expected. First, we worked with Sal months in advance and what we described to him were some of the meals we had in Portugal: fresh grilled fish, sangria, basically feasting Mediterranean-style. For the service, we wanted a relaxed and open atmosphere where guests could feed themselves. We wanted to give him a direction, but not dictate, because above all we hoped to have food that he was excited to prepare. It turns out, what excites Sal is divining the perfect meal from your imagination. The menu he outlined featured wood-fired pizzas, paella, homemade pickles, grilled fish, smoked chicken and an unending dessert service. It's now nearly 4 months later and our guests keep writing, calling, and telling us that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. If it was simply down to the food, it would have been a 5 star day, but on top of everything, Sal was organizer of nearly all the logistics. Working with the event company and making sure our tent was ready a day beforehand was all thanks to Sal putting in a full day onsite before the event! We have so much gratitude to him, his amazing ability, and his very capable staff. He made our wedding.

I ordered the shrimp scampi and ribs. I also ordered two corn muffins and I believe they gave my father a bonus order of fish patties too! My parents were arriving in from out of state and I greeted them at the hotel with this food. Let's just say there was complete silence while they were eating lol! That tells me the food was good. My mom said the scampi was delightfully seasoned and my father really enjoyed the ribs. I did order a ginger ale but it wasn't a specialty drink only a can soda. They are also attached to the major delivery services so that's pretty cool It seems to be a great option for comfort food. You have to go into the Princeton golf course to access the chef. What I like is I'd left a message on the line with an inquiry and at the end of the day Chef Bishop returned my call to follow up and make sure all was well. It was pretty cool ordering food from a personal chef for my father. He felt like a celebrity lol I will certainly order food here for my family when they come up now. I'm vegan so there wasn't any entrees for me. However, if I needed to cater a meal for others (party, corporate party, shower etc.) this is a great option. Chef Bishop seems pretty cool. Good high quality hearty comfort food.
