Thank you Paula for an amazing dinner. Everything from appetizer to main course to dessert was top notch! For our party of 20, everyone definitely enjoyed her delicious meal. Would definitely inquire again if I’m ever in the city again. Thanks again!

Paula was excellent for our work Christmas party! She was very flexible with us as we tweaked our menu to just how we wanted it a week before the event. She arrived on time and impressed our guests with the delicious food! The total budget at the end was even less than we expected, which was a pleasant surprise. We had a great time with her and would totally hire her again and again!
