My husband had the most amazing party for his 50th birthday. Chef Chris suggested menu items for our event which were delicious. All my guests raved about the food. Chef Chris and his staff are the best.

Oh my Goodness Chef Chris was beyond amazing. My party was over 2weeks ago and I still have family members and friends calling me asking for Chef Chris’s number. I would double the stars on this Chef if I could. He elevated the status of my party to ultra sophisticated. His professionalism was superior, his staff added to his sophistication. The food melted in my mouth, I have never tasted this level of steak in my life, woow!!! The shrimp was on a different surface. All together I had the experience of an expensive restaurant in London or Paris in my Oyster bay, NY backyard. This chef offered sophistication, class and elegance. Additionally his food is a dream. I would recommend him 100% and I am highly critical of everything, but I have to be honest Chef Chis was flawless. Best choice in a Chef I could have ever made. Thank you for the perfect party.

Chef Chris was absolutely amazing. He came to our home to cook for my moms birthday and absolutely crushed it! The food was excellent, he went above and beyond to make sure that my family was happy and taken care of! I would recommend Chef Chris any day! Can’t wait for him to come back and we can do it all again!

Chef Chris, was wonderful to work with. We had several hiccups on our end with changes to venue etc, but he navigated the changes with us easily. Thank you so much Chef Chris, we appreciate you and your team. Nikki

Chris and his team did a fabulous 60th birthday dinner for my wife that was really special. We had about 30 guests in my daughter's NYC brownstone and the passed bites and dinner were presented perfectly, tastefully and in a timely fashion so the party ran like clockwork. I highly recommend Chef Chris for any event no matter how intimate or large for a really special and memorable meal.

Nicole N.Jul 2018

Chris is a professional. He was very responsive to emails and very done to earth. Everyone at the event loved the food and there was plenty! He was to make our tiny space work. I highly recommend his services!

Lindsay S.Jun 2018

Perfect! I requested catering services very last minute since my previous caterer canceled and Chef chris came to my rescue! He was so helpful and accommodating and I felt relieved the second I spoke with him. The event was flawless and It was a blessing in disguise that the previous caterer canceled because I got to experience NY Catering Service. Can’t wait to do this again. Thanks!!

Nicole N.Jun 2018

They were great. We will be using them again for future events. Food was very good quality.

Susan S.May 2018

We were very pleased with the evening. From the variety of the hors d’oeuvres to the “pasta show” to the service and quality of all the food, we couldn’t have been more pleased. We thought the number of helpers was very appropriate and we were extremely impressed with the bartender's ability to bartend, serve hors d’oeuvres, take responsibility for the table – and all graciously and with a smile. What a difference that makes at a party! NY Catering was a pleasure to deal with!

Jonathan R.Apr 2018

I honestly dont know where to start . This was my first time doing this . I was extremely nervous. Chef Chris and his staff is honestly everything you need for ANY event. We didn't have enough plates, utensils and God knows what else we didn't have . Let me just tell you he delivered. He made the enviroment more . He's a total package . Definitely doing this again. First time doing this ? Want to make a good impression? Call chef chris ! He will deliver !!!.

Did a great job . Excellent meal.

Deepali B.Mar 2017

It was my wife's birthday dinner, and kids and I asked Chef Chris to come help us cook. Kids (ages 9.5 and 8) had a blast learning from Chef Chris! We had wonderful time and great memories were made. The kids were so excited, Chef Chris was very hands on - guiding them and keeping the excitement up, and getting them to cook several pizzas, soup, and a yummy dessert (including home made whipped cream). Highly recommend as a fun family bonding time that includes learning how to make a delicious meal and then enjoying the meal together!
