They were so easy to work with and provided service beyond what I had hoped for. I would recommend them to any one looking for a catered event especially in your home.

Reviews
Christine was an amazing chef and made our birthday celebration very special. She came the day prior to the event to prepare, was punctual and very organized. She used fresh ingredients and everything was delicious. She also listened to our request to go light on the spice. Mila did a great job creating the menu with us and it was liked by everyone. My only complaint was that logistics leading up to the event were a little unorganized, but this might be partially due to them squeezing us into their already busy schedule with a few weeks notice (which we appreciated). The assistant had the wrong time for our event down and was a little difficult to get ahold of, but we were able to quickly sort things out together and the event was successful.
Mila communicated and planned well. Chef Epiphanae was fun and knowledgeable. Made for a great evening.
This was my first event with Girl and the Kitchen and it will not be my last!!! I wish I was able to mark "all of the above"! Mila responded to my request almost immediately. Not having done an event like this, Mila walked me through the process. The team's punctuality, professionalism, attention to detail, outstanding food, incredible personalities...just to name a few...makes Girl and the Kitchen an outstanding caterer for one's next event.
I cannot comment on the food, but sharing my experience: We hired Girl and the Kitchen for our intimate wedding (7 people) dinner. She was not initially responsive, but offered up reasons each time and her food photos looked great. She shared the menu a week before the event. (While a fall menu for a spring event, it sounded delicious). We purchased wine to pair with each course of the meal, just one day before our wedding. The morning of the wedding, 8:30am, she TEXTS a “cancellation.” While we understand life can throw curveballs - she did not offer any suggestions, back up chefs, etc. We were left scrambling less than 10 hours before our big dinner, and just hours before our wedding ceremony.
Maegan was great..arrived on time..food was served on time and food was delicious..great B-day celebration!!
Nicole from Mila's team at Girl and the Kitchen was incredible! Nicole came out to prepare a 4 course dinner for a birthday, and the food and service was a five star experience. I cannot wait to utilize their team again!
