If you’re looking to kick your feet up and enjoy an incredible dining experience then NY Catering Service is for you. Chef Chris was highly responsive via thumbtack, email, and text. He worked closely with us to curate the perfect menu for my cousin’s bachelorette weekend. Chef Chris’s hors d’oeuvres, salad, main course and dessert were all generous portions and absolutely delicious. His partner Alex served incredible cocktails as well. This duo was very professional, prompt, and cleaned up as if they were never there after the meal. I would 10/10 recommend this service.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • Hot beverages (coffee, tea, etc.) • American - formal • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
