After I posted my inquiry for catering services Chef Nikki was the first catering service to respond and present an offer. She was always responsive and made the process easy despite me never having met her until the day of the event. I was nervous about that but quickly found her trustworthy. She was spot on with her suggestions about the menu. The day of the event she was reliable and prompt. Finally the food was fantastic! I received multiple compliments to give her concerning the menu items! The meatballs and jerk wings….were favs!! Thank you to Nikki and her team for hitting it out the park! I will definitely use her company again!

Chef Nikki went above and beyond for my event. I hosted my wife's birthday day party at the National Harbor on a boat. The traffic and headache of getting the food from the parking lot to the boat was tremendous but she arrived right on time! Everyone enjoyed the food, I can't thank you enough.

Chef Nikki was a DREAM to work with and the food was incredible! Had a gathering of 30 people and several kids at our home and wanted southern cuisine. She was immediately responsive over Thumbtack, helped me to come up with a menu and estimate amount of flood. On the day of the event, she was communicative, timely, and brought everything to set it up. It was a total hit and our guests were all liking their fingers! Thank you so much Chef Nikki. I will be working with her again for future events.
