Last night was the second time I’ve worked with Raquel. As a complete amateur cook, Raquel makes me feel at ease, creating a very educational and accepting environment. I hosted a bachelorette party there and everyone had a wonderful time and a delicious dinner! I can’t wait to work with Raquel again in the future. And I may even attempt to recreate some of the amazing menu items!! Thanks so much!

Thank you, Chef Raquel! My coworkers had a wonderful time and one even mentioned that this was “the best work event they’d ever been to”. Chef Raquel Rivera-Pablo led the kitchen in cooking a five-course meal, ending with a delicious chocolate lava cake. We must do this again!

Raquel is our go-to choice in NYC when we host events – she has catered my baby shower, a friend’s engagement party, and just recently, my daughter’s first birthday party. She is the consummate professional – proactive about staying in touch before the event and making sure the menu and logistics are completely set. She is a gem!
