Nothing beats David and Alan! They are true pros - from planning to serving. The food is terrific but most of all they make even a large party feel as warm as an intimate dinner.

David Ziff Cooking is an excellent caterer and one I have used over many decades. The food is delicious and the staff is superb. There is no aspect of any party they cannot handle from space planning to garbage removal, to decor, to staffing and staff attire. The food presentation is gorgeous and the cooking and menu planning is first rate. Highly recommended. Patsy Tarr
