From the very 1st moment when I messaged Ian, he was responsive and dedicated to curating an excellent cooking experience. Not only was he adaptable (had to make it vegetarian and gluten-free) and kind, but the day of he printed menus, arrived early for setup, and was flexible on the start time. Most importantly, the food was absolutely top notch: he cooked a 4-course meal that had inspiration from Eastern European cuisine, Jewish cuisine, and farm-to-table ingredients. He’s someone you watch cook and recognize instantly his long-standing love affair for cooking. It was an honor to experience his creativity & hospitality. As well, shout out to Dana as the perfect sous chef!

The catering for my son’s graduation party with 50 people, left a lasting impression on all my guests with its gourmet Mediterranean fare. The spread featured delectable dishes such as savory stuffed grape leaves, succulent lamb kebabs, and a refreshing Greek salad with feta and olives. The culinary journey continued with flavorful hummus, tzatziki, and an assortment of grilled vegetables. Each dish was a masterpiece and the presentation and service were the best in events I have had . The catering team's commitment to quality and creativity elevated the celebration, making it a truly unforgettable gastronomic experience. I wholeheartedly recommend their services for those seeking a delightful blend of elegance and exquisite taste for their special events. Make sure to ask for Ian, he is a the best.
