Kayla helped us organized it, and when we had to change it to the next day (2 days before) she didn't blink an eye - she just did it with grace and understanding. Our server John B was awesome. From the minute he arrived I started firing instructions at him as we had a very short time to get set up. No task was to small or too complicated, and he really made the event go smoothly and beautifully. Lastly the food was plentiful and DELICIOUS. My guests all loved it. What more could I ask? Answer: nothing. I'll definitely be using them again.

Dish is AMAZING. They catered our wedding celebration in May 2024, and we are absolutely overjoyed…read morethat we chose them - and specifically that we got to work with Julianna and Michael! My husband and I eloped, and planned this celebration a year later for 80 friends. Dish understood our "vision" of the night from the start - we wanted a relaxed and fun evening, with all of our favorite people and things. They made our favorite foods as the mains (tacos and pasta), with delicious and beautiful hors d'oeuvres, and sooo many incredible sides (the adorable cups of Caesar salad were a huge hit!). The food was absolutely perfect - we had so many unprompted compliments from our guests about the food throughout the night. Including our Nova Scotian friends absolutely loving the lobster rolls, and they would have been the harshest critics! Everything was somehow even more delicious than it was at the tasting. We also had a few gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free guests, and Dish had no problem either adapting or adding options to the dishes to ensure that there would be enough to eat for all the dietary preferences we threw at them! Julianna even made gorgeous signs (to match our wedding website!) that accompanied each food item to ensure no dietary mishaps. We heard rave reviews from our guests about the bartenders and servers, and all the staff were so happy and personable. We have no idea how they managed to pull off so much behind the scenes while literally everyone seemed so cheerful, calm, and professional all night long. My husband and I were truly free to enjoy ourselves and be with our friends without a single thought to logistics, and there are no words for how much that meant to us. Extra thanks to Stella as well, our amazing night-of captain! Beyond the delicious food, the entire experience working with Dish was full of incredible surprises that show just how thoughtful, prepared, and seriously GREAT AT THIS they are. From the moment we walked into the tasting (January 2024) and they had set up the Lobster and Rose cart as an extra surprise, until the very end of the event when they presented us with a tote bag full of thoughtfully and carefully packed containers with some of almost every single dish. They knew, even before we did, that leftovers are one of the best ways to relive the magic! Julianna was truly a godsend every step of the way - menu choices; floor planning; advice on everything - rentals, furniture, DJ; brainstorming ways to make our poutine dreams come true; never forgetting a single detail mentioned in any interaction; and so, so much more. More than that - she did it all with SO much support and thoughtfulness. Dish felt like so much more than a caterer, they were genuinely partners in planning the wedding celebration of our dreams. We sincerely hope that there will be an opportunity to work with Julianna and Michael in the future - thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

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!

I don't know where to start. This is the 2nd time we used Excuizine for our special events. The…read morefirst time was for my son's baptism when they served Italian for dinner and then Asian for lunch the next day. At that time, I knew they were going to be our constant. They were so neat, organized, communicated effectively, and they had been very accommodating to our requests. Of course everybody exclaimed how sumptuous the food was. When we started planning for an intimate dinner for 20 guests at home, I knew we wanted to have a 4-course sit-down dinner. I don't have anybody else in mind but Excuizine. They immediately sent us 3 menu sets that are quite put together. Surf and Turf, New American and Italian. And because we would need a rental vendor for our backyard reception, they also included flat wares, dinner wares and glass wares to be used for the dinner so all I had to do was send the list over to our rental vendor. (They were also Excuizine's recommendation, thank you!!) So convenient. Didn't I also mention that our cake was also made by Excuizine? Ahhh, super moist! I like the fact that I don't have to go anywhere else for our wedding cake. My whole family fell in love with Renee and the rest of the team from the beginning. Their demeanor, professionalism and of course their food and service were beyond my imagination. You are amazing, Chef Renee! We love you, thank you for everything that you did to make our dream intimate wedding 2.0, a reality! All the best!!

I found her on Yelp and the reviews and photos were all favorable. I sent a Saturday email, she texted on Sunday about doing a call. 1 hour later we chatted, picked a preliminary menu, over the phone from her vast selection of flavors, styles, options, nationalities, cultures. It was tough because everything sounded delicious. As we talked and shared our passion for food with strong flavor- none of this frozen, breaded, bland appetizer options. It was clear to me that Chef Renee was going to bring taste to the table. She did not disappoint! All of the guest noted how good the food was and we were never so happy to have leftovers! I was further impressed with how she immediately did a quick contract with easy electronic payment. We inked the deal and in 24 hours I had my catering dilemma solved. Without any contact she showed up precisely as agreed. She and her team went to work fussing over the layout and set up of every little detail. They seemed as excited about the party as we were! Every detail was provided for and the cheese board was to die for! The food quantity was abundant and the baked goods are addictive. I know why she sells thousands of the chocolate crinkles! You will never be disappointed using such a professional and talented caterer. I cannot wait to use Chef Renee again!

We were blown away by Night Kitchen with every interaction, starting with the customized menus based on our tastes (Mini pastrami reubens, as passed hors d'oeuvres? Hello!). Our tasting was the highlight of our wedding planning process. Leading up to the big day, communication was prompt and clear, the service was highly professional, and the food was truly amazing.

Jill also acted as a day-of coordinator and everything was seamless. She worked calmly and professionally behind the scenes with all vendors to keep the day flowing. I didn't worry about anything that day and it all worked out perfectly. We had a lounge-like vision for the party: no assigned seats, a mix of table sizes, and a buffet of tapas style plates that would get people moving around the space. Jill made this happen and it felt seamless - she was endlessly positive and full of ideas and solutions to make the event feel festive, COVID-safe, and flowing. No one ever had to wait in line for drinks - bars were plentiful and well run. My husband and I sat at a small table together which she thoughtfully prepared ahead of time with a full array of food so we actually got to eat a little that evening!
