Everything was perfect. Chef and his Sous Chef are extremely talented. The team is professional, sweet, personable, and super accommodating. I had friends, family, and colleagues texting me and posting on socials about the food for days afterwards. Its legit high-end NYC restaurant quality cooked in your home. His partner Yohana helped me plan the vibe and guest experience from drinks, desserts, serving, and event flow, exactly as I wanted it. It's really simple. If you are doing a dinner party, large event, or even a personal dinner that will rival eating out just about anywhereyou need to get them. This isnt catering rubber chicken dinners from banquet halls. Its farm to table ingredients, thoughtful drink pairings, high-end but welcoming flavors, and done by people you can tell are happy to be making your guests happy.You gotta eatwellnewyork!

Chef Nicholas helped make my partner’s birthday dinner truly unforgettable. He pulled out all the stops to make her feel special, and every guest was blown away. The food was incredible, and the dessert was out of this world! Guests are still raving about it a week later. He even handled last-minute dietary changes effortlessly. If you’re lucky enough to book him, do it. You won’t regret it. Total pro, start to finish. Thank you Chef, looking forward to next time!
