A Family Affair Catering truly is amazing. Our original chef became I’ll with CoVid and left us without a replacement option, six days prior to our event. Chef Lyles and his lovely family came thru in such a professional, honest manner. They let us keep the same original rate and added some lovely touches to the predetermined menu. The oven stopped working in the lounge we were using, then the stove went out and there was no power. Chef Lyles and his family remained calm and cooked downstairs in the guest of honor’s apartment! They were the epitome of professional. The vibe was so relaxing and I know it’s because of Chef Lyles. He appears naturally very calm and that’s what our event needed. That you all for showing up and providing us with a wonderful meal. I had the ribeye and heard the salmon was also amazing. Blessing to you and your business, I pray you continue to succeed.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 21 - 35 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We hired Chef Daryl for my parent's anniversary party and I am so glad that we did! From the start Chef Daryl was easy to work with and extremely professional. Also, the food he provided was exceptional. We will absolutely work with him again! From the start Chef Daryl was extremely responsive and never left us waiting for an answer, something I really appreciated, especially when I was already stressed about planning a party. To start with he sent us an amazing suggested menu to help get us started and then made some simple adjustments based on a single conversation. From there on out we only had a few questions, but always received a response the same day. Also, as I said, the food was exceptional. Everything from the crab cakes to the deviled eggs to the red velvet cupcakes was delicious. My family always plays the "which was your favorite" game after a party with good food and we each had a REALLY hard time picking just one (in fact we each ended up with a different item - ha!). I honestly can't say enough good things about Chef Daryl and his team. I look forward to working with him again!
