Chef Felix catered my mom's memorial over the weekend. He and his team were extremely professional and easy to work with. Even more importantly, the food was Delicious and the portions were generous- -my family and I are loving our leftovers! His Mexican corn was a particular favorite but everything including the salmon burgers, Dominican chicken, collard greens, potatoes and broccoli salad were awesome. I think it's important to support small businesses and young entrepreneurs. I am thrilled that we worked with Chef Felix and definitely recommend him!
The entire Night Kitchen team, and especially Chef Aaron, were absolutely incredible at my our wedding in Fall 2024 at The Brooklyn Grange. Everything about working with Night Kitchen was truly a wonderful experience— from our initial contact, the tasting experience in their Brooklyn kitchen (they provided SO many options for us to try and really listened to our hopes and dreams for the menu), all of the follow up and preparation leading up to the day, and eventually the wedding itself. We still have people mention the food from our wedding to us, even nearly two years later! We had an overwhelming number of our 110ish guests come up and rave about the food (primarily vegetarian options, with one chicken dish) and the Night Kitchen staff who went above and beyond throughout the night. Summer, in particular, was so kind and attentive to me and my wife throughout the night— ensuring we always had what we needed or wanted! We ate family style and the team was incredibly careful and conscious of a variety of allergies and dietary needs— ensuring there was plenty of food for everyone and everyone had the correct alternatives as needed. They even made us a tofu version of the chicken dish knowing we’re vegetarian that was absolutely incredible. At the end of the night they packaged up a large bag of leftovers (including dessert bites which were absolutely thrilling to find the next day!!) with everything from the meal for us to take home. It made the first few days being married so much easier and made us so thankful to have selected Night Kitchen to cater our wedding. We highly recommend Night Kitchen and Chef Aaron for catering events— especially if you are looking for dependable, honest, supportive, and creative vendors and absolutely delicious food.

I love this location so much, especially the good vibes and music that it comes with!!! the empanadas are always fresh and delicious and so are the drinks. The staff is so nice. I had a problem with my order and they weren’t hesitate to fix it. I love New York 💜
We used Sweet Basil Catering for our engagement party at a private loft in downtown Manhattan, and they were fantastic to work with. We wanted a caterer who could handle an intimate event while still delivering a polished, restaurant-quality experience—and they absolutely delivered. They created an all–finger food menu with passed hors d’oeuvres throughout the night. The short rib sliders and burrata crostini were standout favorites, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. They also set up a great charcuterie station and mini desserts that were fantastic. The team was professional, punctual, and kept everything running smoothly without interrupting the flow of the party, which made it easy for us to actually enjoy the night. We’d happily use them again for another event.
One word: Kitch-tastic. I have hired this team for a few events: Pie Jar cart, an iconic holiday party, halloween cocktails, etc. The team hears you out, plans the menu and experience all while working within budget(s). Dave and Jeff and Jack and Mo and the rest of the team care about not only what they provide but how the customer FEELS during your event. I highly recommend them for your personal or corporate needs.
