Chef Tanner brought his A game to our 12 person dinner party. He and his sous chef were punctual, personable and prepared a killer meal that looked as good as it tasted. Chef William was consistently responsive and helpful in preparing a menu that catered to a variety of preferences and allergies. Would definitely hire again.

William brought professionalism, creativity and skill to my event. I hired him for an intimate family dinner for my father’s 60th and he executed the event beautifully. Not only in responsiveness, but the taste in every dish was better than the next. So thrilled to have had this experience and will be hiring him again for future events.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • I'm flexible • Asian • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

William and his team were instrumental in helping me plan the best possible birthday private dinner I could have imagined - he helped me bring to life my vision. William was not only incredibly responsive but also an amazing collaborator, demonstrating his impressive track record and experience. As with most events, there were a few last-minute hiccups that I would not have able to smooth over and accommodate for without William. He is extremely profressional, knows exactly what the client wants and worries about, and has the execution expertise to truly deliver.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 21 - 35 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • I'm flexible • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • Cold beverages (non-alcoholic) • Dessert • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Asian • Dairy intolerant • I'm flexible • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I’d highly recommend Flora & Fauna for any dinner parties or catering events. Nacho (Ignacio Gonzales) was our chef and he was amazing! He cooked for 12 guests in my tiny Brooklyn apt for my 30th birthday dinner party celebration. The attention to detail Nacho had when cooking and plating to ensure quality was great. He’s also super nice and easy to talk to! He became our friend at the end of the night and would love to hire him again for any future dinner parties!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Southern • American - formal • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
