Tl;dr: Not only were Naturally Delicious (Heather Levine) the perfect partners for our wedding in…read moreany circumstances, but Heather helped us navigate an exceptionally difficult situation that emerged two weeks before, and we couldn't recommend them more. At the outset of planning our wedding, we had a strong vision for the event, but lacked a fundamental understanding of how we'd put it together, the flow throughout the night, and the logistics of the more do-it-yourself venues that we were most interested in. Once we met Heather Levine from Naturally Delicious (ND), and started working with her, it became clear that ND were the perfect partners for our event. Heather had years of experience producing events in our venue and others like it and experience producing a variety of types of events. Heather had on-point suggestions for every detail of our event, whether it be food, run-of-show, liquor, rentals, or anything. About two weeks before the event, we faced an unexpected crisis. We don't know what we would have done without Heather generally, but especially during these two weeks. Our bi-weekly emails with Heather turned into multiple calls and texts a day. Alongside no small amount of coaching (bordering on counseling at times), Heather helped us repeatedly communicate with all of our loved ones about the event, and tirelessly worked across our vendors and venue to make many significant, last minute adjustments. Overall, we couldn't recommend Naturally Delicious and Heather Levine more!

We got catering from Naturally Delicious for a 150 person alumni event in Soho, and we were really…read morepleased by the professionalism. We had a handful of platters of hor d'oeuvres and an open bar with two bartenders as well. I really appreciated the lengths our contact, Melissa, went to to make sure the event was successful. Since we were uncertain about our budget until the very last minute, we had so many changes (adding and subtracting platters, including the open bar, etc.) and requests. Melissa very willingly accommodated and worked with our limited budget to provide the best food and service. We were even making changes until a day before the event! The food was set up and delivered an hour and a half before the start of the event, which was a great relief for the event planners and a burden off our shoulders. The lovely bartenders were experienced and worked quickly, so there was hardly ever a line. Clean up was easy and fast, and Naturally Delicious worked with our space limitations to make the process super seamless. The food itself was all cold since we didn't have access to a kitchen to heat it up, so it wasn't as appetizing as some of our guests had hoped. However, I think this was more a result of my menu selection than anything Naturally Delicious did. The catering was a bit on the pricier side, but it's well worth it for the professionalism. If I'm planning catering for a future event, I will definitely turn to Naturally Delicious again!

I was a nervous wreck trying to get a last minute caterer for my daughter's wedding party. BK…read moreBites made it happen BEAUTIFULLY and deliciously! Had I known how great BK Bites would be I could have spared myself HOURS of fretting. Claudine really knows how to run an excellent business. She has a responsive and professional staff who showed up promptly with the array of beautifully prepared appetizers I had chosen. They were even ABOVE and beyond serving and setting up a raft of additional catering items my daughter had required. That was one aspect of the job I was quite concerned about, but I need not have worried. Claudine is very responsive to the client and took charge of our every need for this event. She even showed up personally with her crew to get everything in place before our party. The food was excellent too. I love the variety of appetizers we picked. (fruit skewers, beef satay, caprese skewers and cucumbers w hummus along with empanadas.) You don't need to worry about a thing when BK Bites is in the job! thank you, Claudine!

I'm so glad I found Bites BK and decided to work with Claudine. Everything was FANTASTIC and worked out perfectly! Communication was seamless, she was easy to work with, delivered the food exactly on time, and even made a couple dishes that she doesn't have on her menu. I hosted a party in our apartment for about 85 people and the amount of food I ordered (7 platters- beef sliders, fried chicken sliders, coconut curry chicken skewers, beef skewers, mango jerk chicken empanadas, spinach & cheese empanadas, veggie spring rolls) was more than enough. My guests all were coming up to me all night saying how great the food was! I also hired a waiter (Rustum) through Bites BK who was a lifesaver. He oversaw the setup with Claudine, passed apps around, tidied up throughout the night, and made sure my guests were well taken care of. I HIGHLY recommend working with her and look forward to doing so on our next party! You won't be disappointed!

I recently had the pleasure of ordering from Top Tier Catering for a work luncheon for…read moreapproximately 35 to 40 people, and let me just say... EVERYTHING WAS TOP TIER! We went with the Tier 1 option, which included BBQ Chicken, Fried Chicken, Baked Ziti, Collard Greens, Mac & Cheese, and Rice & Peas. We also added the Fried Whiting Fish and Sweet Potatoes, and I am SO glad we did! From the moment I walked into the establishment, I was greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. The ordering process was smooth and effortless, and one thing that really stood out to me was that I was given the opportunity to taste the food before finalizing my order. Needless to say, after that first taste, I already knew we were in for a treat! The food was delivered directly to my office in the Financial District, and the delivery was prompt, professional, and seamless. The delivery person was extremely helpful and made sure everything arrived safely and ready to serve. And let's talk about the FOOD! DELICIOUS. DELICIOUS. DELICIOUS. Everything was seasoned to perfection! The flavors were rich, comforting, and authentic. It gave me that nostalgic feeling of being back in the kitchen with Mama, Grandma, and my aunties during the holidays the kind of food that makes you close your eyes after the first bite and say, "Yeah... somebody knows what they're doing in this kitchen!" We even had some unexpected guests, but there was more than enough food for everyone. Nobody was left hungry, and everyone had something good to say about the meal. From the customer service, to the ordering process, to the delivery, and most importantly, the QUALITY and FLAVOR of the food... Top Tier Catering truly lived up to its name. If you're planning a luncheon, party, office event, family gathering, or any occasion where you need GOOD FOOD and PROFESSIONAL SERVICE, I highly recommend Top Tier Catering. Top Tier Catering didn't just cater our event... they brought the family kitchen to the office! 10/10... I would absolutely order from them again! Thank you, Top Tier Catering, for making our luncheon one to remember! Everything about my experience was TOP TIER!

1 Star -- Extremely Disappointing and Dangerous Experience…read more This was my first time ordering from Top Tier Catering, and unfortunately, it will likely be my last. I ordered through Uber Eats, but before placing my order, I went above and beyond to make sure I could safely eat the food. I actually called the restaurant beforehand and specifically asked about my sesame allergy. I was told that the wings I was interested in contained sesame seeds, but that if I made note of my allergy, the kitchen would follow those instructions. Fast-forward to my order arriving about 40 minutes later -- and after spending $55 -- I discovered that two of my four items had sesame seeds all over them. And when I say all over them, I mean whoever prepared the food went absolutely crazy with the sesame seeds. There were even sesame seeds inside the container with the pork chops and in one of my containers of collard greens. I cannot explain how frustrating and upsetting this was, especially because I took the time to call the restaurant BEFORE ordering specifically to discuss my allergy. I also listed my sesame allergy multiple times when placing the order through Uber Eats. To make matters worse, the receipt attached to the bag clearly listed my allergies -- not once, not twice, not three times, but FOUR times under the individual meals. There was even a large section on the receipt clearly marked "ALLERGIES." At that point, I genuinely had to question whether the kitchen staff simply didn't read the order or were being negligent. This isn't a preference or a request to leave off an ingredient that I don't like. This is a food allergy that I specifically disclosed multiple times. Cross-contamination and failure to follow allergy instructions can have serious consequences. I immediately tried to resolve the issue. Since I ordered through Uber Eats, I had to submit a claim through the app, as there isn't an easy way to speak directly with a live person. So now I have to wait and see whether Uber will actually refund me. I also called the restaurant directly. A man answered the phone and told me to hold. I waited on hold for approximately eight minutes before eventually hanging up. I called back several times afterward, and the phone began going straight to voicemail. And before anyone says I should have simply brought the food back: I live more than 20 minutes away, which is exactly why I ordered through Uber Eats. I made several attempts to contact the establishment and give them an opportunity to address this directly before posting this review, but unfortunately, I was unable to reach anyone. I am extremely disappointed. When a customer clearly discloses a serious food allergy before ordering, in the order notes, and on the receipt, the expectation should be that those instructions are taken seriously. This was not a minor mistake -- it was a major failure in handling an explicitly stated allergy. I hope the restaurant takes this situation seriously and reviews how allergy orders are communicated and prepared in the kitchen. I understand accidents happen, but this should not have happened. You literally have to read the order to prepare the food so how did you miss sesame allergy on a receipt paper more than four times I will never understand!

Several guests at our wedding told us that the food at our reception was the best wedding food they…read morehad ever had. While delighted, we were not surprised. 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. During our wedding reception, one of our guests became seriously ill (they did not take their medication that day). The team at Night Kitchen acted swiftly and professionally, securing medical attention and escorting the guest with a wheelchair with assurance and professionalism, without drawing attention to the incident. We cannot be more grateful to Chef Aaron and his amazing team!

Everything was fresh, inventive, and full of flavor, and even our most carnivorous friends were impressed and satisfied. Beyond the food, the Night Kitchen team was professional, kind, and a true pleasure to work with. On the big day, they executed everything flawlessly, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy knowing we were in expert hands. If you're looking for a catering company that's as invested in your event as you are, especially if you want something unique or plant-forward, Night Kitchen is it. They made our wedding unforgettable, and we're so grateful!

Since that lunch, I've had several friends go back and buy tartes and various ready-made party plates, which also received nothing but high praise.

Chef Mellanee's page, filled with tantalizing spreads, set in entrancing presentation, made a foodie like myself, instantly interested. Upon speaking with Chef Mellanee, I was immediately taken by her warmth, easy-going nature, patience (because, I asked SO many questions, on multiple occasions), and polished professionalism. Though I had nothing solidified, in terms of a venue, or even a wedding planner, Chef Mellanee offered me much guidance, and recommended a venue, which eventually led me to connect with my future Wedding Planner! I was presented a set list with a plethora of hors d'oeuvres, Buffet and Dinner compilations, and a separate drink menu, should an open bar be desired. Though many fantastic options were listed for consideration, Chef Mellanee informed I could inquire about offerings not listed, also. On the day of the tasting, my then-fiance and I, had car trouble. After speaking with Chef Mellanee, she graciously offered to extend the appointment to a reasonable time. By a miracle of God, we made it to the tasting, with 20-mins to spare. Upon entering Chef Mellanee's presence, we were immediately put at ease. The highly stressful event we'd been through, began to melt off us. Music played, in the background that set a loving mood. My beloved and I, sat at a table set for us to dine like royalty. Each course was impeccable, and Chef Mellanee checked to ensure our thoughts about each dish, were of genuine satisfaction. After our meal, and offering our final decisions, Chef Mellanee brought out a card game for us to play! It was a sweet game, made to enhance connection between a couple. We loved it! On the day of the wedding, upon entering the venue, I was told by my wedding planner to check a bag that had been left in my changing room. There, I found a white box, embossed with The Fork Goes on the Left emblem. Inside sat a few wonderful items, and a thoughtful, sweet note, that I keep in mind each day. From the time of service to the end of the night, everyone raved about the food, and service, rendered by Chef Mellanee, and her A+ Team. The food was well seasoned, and delightfully satisfying, speaking to our guests' Caribbean background, and elevated tastes. Chef Mellanee's team were the epitome of polished professionalism, courtesy, and joy! What also caught my eye, was how well Chef Mellanee's Team had her back. Before my husband, and I, were to take a picture with Chef Mellanee, the same lady on her Team, stopped to fix Chef's collar, to ensure she looked her best - I LOVED that! It spoke to everything we saw that evening, that contributed in so many ways, to their supreme level of service. Great trust, comradery, and respect worked within their Team dynamic. If any Bride is considering catering services, please, look no further than The Fork Goes on the Left. The level of care, and pampered service you, and your guests, will experience, will undoubtedly make your event, a day or night, to remember. As I said at the beginning of my review, Chef Mellanee and her Team, are excellence, personified, and, even more than that, they are genuine people, who care about each other, and their client. For an elevated, white-glove experience, look no further, and book, The Fork Goes on the Left.
