      <content>I used Movable Feast for my wedding. They were awesome. I had a problem with Naturally Delicious, they never got back to me with a sample menu or a quote when I told them my budget. Their loss. </content>

      <content>We used Movable Feast, as well. They deliver in the end and their servers are very nice/professional. However, working with them during the planning stages, we found that they can be difficult to work with, at times.</content>

      <content>HD: sliders, bacon wrapped figs (they threw that in for free), samosas, and some other assortments I don't remember, it was 5 years ago and I personally didn't eat much of it.

We also had a buffet with pasta bar (wasn't too crazy about the vodka sauce) but everything else was good, hanger steak, chicken francais, and lemon sole

Assorted dessert cookies, brownies, seasonal fruit. Order a cake or cupcakes from them. We decided not to buy a cake from the bakery since we were on a budget. It was a wise decision. I don't think I could have done better at a bakery. We didn't even bother to save it.</content>

      <content>sounds great.  i'll definitely give them a call.  did your venue have everything the caterer needed or did moveable feast bring all their supplies with them?  </content>

      <content>Our wedding was at the Seamen's Chapel near the South Street Seaport. Movable Feast was familiar with the venue, but they brought their supplies in.</content>

      <content>HD's were sliders, spinach pies, thai shrimp (I think) and several others.

Entrees were a hanger steak and horseradish crusted salmon. Ours was at the Boathouse. Everything was fine. Problem there is no real kitchen facility, so I think they prepped at their location and then transported. Thus, not optimal for perfect cooking/serving conditions.</content>

      <content>Movable Feast sound great. In case you want to do some comparison shopping., we have used Sterling for several corporate events and were extremely pleased with both their delicious food and their outstanding service.
Have a great time! ;-)

      <content>We used Naturally Delicious for an event and they were great.  Food was very good and service was great and they made it relatively easy on us. The meat and chicken dishes were very good and we had a  great vegetable/grain salad.</content>

      <content>Hello all- just wanted to report back that we decided to go with Bassett Caterers in brooklyn for the baby shower.  I was nervous about the food quality but it was excellent.  Numerous guests asked me about the caterer and we were also impressed with the staff- we had 3 waiters handling a buffet for 45 people.  The only thing we were not crazy about were some of the cold HDs.  But the hot food was top quality.  We even did an in home carving station!  And the cost could not be beat- $45/pp with everything included except beverages.</content>
