I am delighted to give Nina and her team at The Fifth Flavor a five star review. I've hired Nina three times to cater special occasions at my home for groups that ranged from 35 to 45. Our guests' reviews were uniformly excellent. Nina's menus are creative, her food are delicious, and she and her staff are professional and just plain easy and fun to work with. Our friends and family are looking forward to the next Fifth Flavor catered event!

Nina and her team were amazing for our 25th year Anniversary Company celebration! The service, people, food...I can't say enough about how special they helped make our event feel. The food absolutely the best..and over 25 years of celebrations, this by far exceeded expectations and was the best of all of them. Thank you to Nina and her entire staff.

Promocentric recently partnered with the Fifth Flavor for our 25th Anniversary celebration. Nina is so talented, kind, detail-oriented, and professional. The menu she created was brilliant. Our 55 guests raved about the food, presentation, and the quality of the service. The Fifth Flavor team helped the event run smoothly, exceeding all expectations. We highly recommend Fifth Flavor for catering special events and weddings.

Nina and her team are absolute professionals, and some of the nicest individuals you could ever imagine working with. Our organization, Portsmouth Music and Arts Center, recently hired The Fifth Flavor for one of our events and received numerous compliments from our attendees, about not just the quality of the food, but most especially, the quality of the service. We cannot recommend them highly enough for whatever your catering and event needs may be.

The Fifth Flavor is AMAZING. We recently hired them for the first time to provide catering for a nonprofit event and they hit it out of the ballpark. The passed hors d'oeuvres and food stations provided a wide variety of delicious bites for our guests, including several vegan options which we requested and they wonderfully delivered. While it was the first time we've hired them, I've attended other events they've catered and knew they would be a great choice for our event. Their staff is professional, punctual, and easy to work with. They went above and beyond for us and we look forward to hiring them again for future events. Five stars!

Nina and her team were outstanding. The food and drinks served as the foundation and anchor point for our perfect day. Throughout the entire process Nina was responsive and helpful. We were especially impressed by the selection of seasonal dishes, as were all of our guests. Fifth Flavor should be your first, second, and third choice for a wedding caterer.

Nina and The Fifth Flavor catered our wedding. We enjoyed the food so much, it was one of the highlights of our day.
There were so many amazing dishes. We had guests comment on the beautiful presentation of the food as well, all the vibrant colors. Nina helped us create a menu that perfectly match the theme of our wedding.
The catering staff was helpful, friendly, and went above and beyond. One of the Fifth Flavor team even ran back to the tent and found someone to bustle the bride's dress before the first dance.
We would recommend The Fifth Flavor to anyone looking for wedding catering.

Nina and crew did an amazing job catering a special event for us, on site at the Portsmouth Atheneum. Our facility is not set up to host a sit down dinner for 16 and I was advised by many to not even attempt it. When I described to Nina what I wanted to do, she came to visit the site and confidently told me she could execute on what we wanted to do within the confines of the space. She worked with me closely to ensure that we had all of the rental equipment that we would need (including a portable commercial oven) to make the event go seamlessly. She was very thoughtful in creatiing a menu that accommodated several dietary restrictions without sacrificing any flavor or enjoyment of the meal. Every course of the meal was delicious and the service was five star. I’m sure there were challenges to pulling off this event, but like a true professional Nina solved them all on her own and throughout the evening, she never came to me looking for assistance with anything. I appreciated this as it allowed me to focus on enjoying the evening and entertaining the guests. We will definitely be using The Fifth Flavor again and would highly recommend them.

I honestly can’t say enough great things about my wedding experience with Fifth Flavor. The food was absolutely delicious; our guests were raving to us about cocktail hour, dinner, and desserts. The waitstaff provided UNBELIEVABLE service making sure all guests were taken care of at every second while also going unnoticed at the same time. Additionally, our wedding was outside under a tent and the catering kitchen was located next to the tent; servers did not skip a beat as it started to pour and they had to continue delivering food and drinks to us under the tent.
Most importantly, Nina, the owner and head chef of Fifth Flavor is incredible to work with. She offered fantastic guidance on the flow of our reception, making sure everything ran smoothly for 170 guests, and was beyond accommodating when it came to our special menu requests and changes. Having a wedding caterer who is quick to respond throughout the entire wedding planning process is not something to take for granted and Nina did just this for us at all times.
I would recommend Fifth Flavor to anyone planning their wedding that wants a stress-free and positive experience all while getting 5-star food and drink.
I've used Fifth Flavor twice now for events and Nina and her crew are very great to work with. Aside from the food being fantastic, she is great at making suggestions to make the event run smoothly. I look forward to reaching out to her soon for our next event.

The evening started with passed Hors D’oeuvres, Food Stations, along with passed Desserts. Every dish was beautifully presented, delicious and we had just the right quantity. Members are raving about the creative menu, presentation, and service. Nina was a pleasure to work with along with her staff. She far exceeded our expectations.

We hired Nina through a word of mouth recommendation for our wedding and the food was SO delicious! Everyone is still raving about how delicious everything was and how beautiful it all looked on display. Nina and her crew did such an amazing job throughout the event and wouldn't of wanted anyone else. Nina was so amazing helping to create the menu and cannot thank her enough for that time and effort! I have made several recommendations to people about Nina and the service she provides! Truly an amazing job! We also had plenty of food leftover as well! Thank you Nina and crew a thousand times for joining us and making our wedding event amazing!

Nina and the Fifth Flavor team catered my daughters wedding in York, ME and ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED it!!! Amazing creativity and impressive execution of my daughters food vision shown by the Fifth Flavor crew. A smaller sized wedding of about 50 people that allowed Nina and team to really focus on delivering the best to our guests. Cant say enough about how awesome their work is and I truly appreciated the world class effort and delivery. A++++
