Natanya was a pleasure to work with and delivered a memorable dinner for our bachelorette party! I would absolutely recommend her and can't wait to have her for our next party.
Our menu for the evening: Starter: Grilled baby gems w/ citrus vinaigrette. Perfectly grilled while preserving the crispness of the greens w/ a nice vinaigrette. It was accompanied by grilled oranges to round out a beautiful presentation. Main: Oven-roasted sea bass with lemon and parsley - gigantic portion of fish that cooked to PERFECTION. This was the epitome of what 'buttery, melt-in-your-mouth' fish should taste like. Hands down the best sea bass I've ever had! Side #1: Gnocchi with fresh spinach and parmesan - decadent and cheesy w/ the right about of lightness from the gnocchi Side #2: Balsamic roasted vegetable melody - Broccoli and peppers tossed in a wonderfully sweet and perfectly aged balsamic

This was the first time I had a caterer at my home. It took all the pressure of hosting off my shoulders. Food was so awesome and so was Natanya! She was so responsive throughout and took my party to the next level. She’s also so personable and fun to chat with while she’s juggling all the meal prep. I will 1000% have her at my next party!

We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a dinner by Natanya. It was spectacular. The food was excellent and the presentation very pleasing. Natanya is engaging to speak with. We highly recommend her and plan to have another, larger dinner in the near future. Her service is a great alternative to a dinner at a nice restaurant, particularly when adhering to Covid restrictions.
