Report
I recently hired Food Design for a dinner party for 60 at my house. Every single guest asked who made the food and where we got the food from. It was incredible! I am incredibly discerning and can say that the quality of the food rivals the best restaurants in the City and Greenwich. I was particularly impressed that the Chef made more of the appetizers that the guests loved after the amount we agreed upon had run out. Also, the Chef went out of his way to prepare dinner after it had been cleaned up for two guests that arrived VERY late. Absolutely the best there is!
