Delicious meals for vegans and meat eaters. Have tried almost everything and repeat buy most of them. Staff is friendly and efficient, and prices are in line with other prepared food services. The only negative mark is that there are no dates on the pre packaged vegan meals. I fill my refrigerator and if things get pushed to the back there is no way to know if it is still safe to eat. Have mentioned it to staff but nothing changed. Worth a visit for sure!

Mary and Justin catered my wedding of 100 people and did an amazing job! It was an outdoor tent wedding but the food was served hot and plentiful. They were very involved in the menu planning and rentals which was very helpful since a lot goes into it. They were upfront about all costs and stuck to their prices even though costs went up during covid. We rescheduled 4 times and had 1 venue change but they stuck with us every step of the way (thanks covid).

Other vendors we dealt with were not so gracious or understanding. After the event, they even packaged up all our leftovers for us which we really appreciated. They were well staffed the day of and the whole event was perfect! They really went above and beyond thorough out the entire process. Thanks again Mary and Justin!

I attended a private party for a vow renewal that was catered by Culinary Studio and was absolutely wowed! The food was by far the best that I have had at a catered event. Normally I find catered food tasteless and a bit overdone, but everything at this party tasted fresh and was so different than the normal fare. The server that was there for the party was exceptional. She met every guests need and had a smile on her face the entire time. She really seemed to enjoy her job. I can honestly say that Culinary Studio put the wow factor on this event!

Love the culinary studio. Great selection, excellent food. Love the vegan options even tho I'm a non vegan. One option is better than the next.

The elegant shower brunch I planned looked like sloppy takeout on disposable plastic platters. The worst food presentation I've ever seen from a caterer. Absolutely no effort was to made to present the food in an attractive way. When I spoke to the owner ahead of time about wanting to make sure nothing would come on plastic she said arrogantly "Oh no we wouldn't do that, this is culinary studios.

Everything will be on ceramic platers or in baskets." Today when I called to tell her that absolutely everything came on plastic she had no excuse and started yelling that I'm a difficult customer. In addition they tried to not bring the coffee urns they promised in the contract and told me to get fewer tables than I needed for their food which left me without the appropriate tables and linens. They portray themselves to be high end caterers - in fact they are unprofessional, amateurish and unethical. It's hard to believe they have any positive reviews it really makes me question the veracity of them.

My family has used The Culinary Studio in Huntington for many years. During that time, we have hosted countless events and parties. The customer service, attention to detail, & overall professionalism we have experienced has ALWAYS been second to none. I have gotten to know both Mary and Justin (owners) over the years and they are the kindest and most thoughtful people I have ever worked with. We feel fortunate to have such an awesome, family-owned & operated company in our town!

I have used The Culinary Studio for 2 family parties. The first was my daughter's Sweet 16 and the second was my husband and I renewed our wedding vows. Both celebrations were fabulous. The food - from the appetizers to desserts - were all a huge hit. It was perfectly seasoned, served with the presentation flare of a five-star restaurant. Waitress staff was also provided who were knowledgable of the menu being served and tirelessly worked the whole party. I would highly recommend The Culinary Studio for your next party. The food and the service does not disappoint.
