Bon Soir catered my daughter's bat mitzvah and did a magnificent job. Jeff was terrific to work with, helpful about getting the event within our budget, his staff was tops, the set-up gorgeous and the food terrific. Our guests raved. I highly recommend Bon Soir and plan to use them for our next event.

Bon Soir has been a part of my family for many years. Jeff Riley is the owner. His food is superb. He is a perfectionist in every detail if you use his services. Francine is the manager and quite frankly she does the bookings with finesse. Thank you both for being a part of so many affairs in my life. Love you guys.

Report
I live in upstate NY, but recently needed a caterer for a small gathering in Brooklyn. Having no familiarity with the area, I used venue recommendations and called a number of local caterers. Several days later, I called them all back again. After some time went by with no response to any of my calls or messages, I expanded my search to caterers a little further away. Not 20 minutes after leaving a message at Bon Soir, Jeff called me back.
Not only was he exceptionally responsive, but he was incredibly helpful as well. He provided recommendations for food, then went out of his way to suggest possible locations for our gathering that would be accessible and convenient. He emailed me written instructions for his suggested places and even provided a map and driving directions for the route to his office that would have the least traffic. Words cannot express my gratitude for his professionalism and kindness. The food was excellent and presented beautifully. I highly recommended Jeff and Bon Soir Caterers.
