Chef Chris was professional, punctual, and helped me host the most amazing dinner party for my mom‘s birthday in the Hamptons. He created a fantastic menu and was able to accommodate all dietary restrictions while keeping the meal, smooth, consistent, and absolutely delicious. He is not only a delight to work with, but incredibly easy to coordinate with. He was such a pleasure to have in the kitchen, helped me prepare the table and made me feel at ease, even though it was very probable that our outdoor celebration might get ruined by the rain. 12 out of 10 if you’re hosting a dinner party in the Hamptons or in Aspen, he is your guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone for any occasion.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Dessert • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

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.
