“The Best venue to have a Wedding! I was married here 14 years ago. I also have been DJing events here for over 25 years. I highly recommend Jericho Terrace for any event. Thank you !“

“😍THEY HAVE BEEN A LEADER IN CATERING SERVICES, SINCE LONG BEFORE I FIRST ATTENDED A FUNCTION, AS A TEEN, IN THE 1960'S! STILL WONDERFUL AS OF THE AFFAIR I ATTENDED, THIS PAST SUNDAY, APRIL 13, 2025!“

“I've been going here for years when I want to cook some high-quality fresh pasta! They also have plenty of imported Italian goods that retain their quality. My only advice would be abstain from their sandwiches - they're a bit overpriced and are not filling. But if you're looking for quality Italian ingredients, this is the place to go!“

“THE Royalton Mansion-- If I could rate them 10 stars I would! The best kept secret on Long Island. The most beautiful venue with such a care for detail with the best bang for your buck with pricing. From the day we had our first meeting with the Royalton they have been fantastic and after my Husband and I walked in the first time we knew it was where we were supposed to be married. Mike T and his entire staff were perfect. Their attention to detail is unmatched. Mike T told me we didn’t need a wedding planner or coordinator with them and he was right. He took his role above and beyond! Every question and pre-wedding concern I had was answered quickly and ever worry I had they calmed my fear. The food was amazing and every aspect of the menu completely customizable. We had so many dietary restrictions and Mike was able to accommodate everyone without any issues. The grounds are beautiful both inside and outside. We planned for our ceremony to be in their beautiful garden but unfortunately mother nature had other plans and the move to inside was still as beautiful. Our family and friends are still raving about how beautiful it was, how amazing the food was and how the staff were phenomenal. Michelle, the bridal attendant was also phenomenal and helped the day run so smoothly! We had an unfortunate incident thar required a guest to be removed from the wedding. The professionalism and approach that Mike T took to handle the situation was perfect to the point that I had no idea of the circumstance and to those involved were blown away on how well it was handled by himself and staff and to ensure all our guests were safe as well. I can not recommend The Royalton enough.“

“Gino was patient and took the time to explain to us all the different packages, in preparation for our wedding. After learning that my fiancé and I are both first responders, Gino extended his support and professionalism to us even more so! We are both looking forward to having him cater the dessert portion of our wedding, in addition to creating an unforgettable experience! Dolce and Gelato is the way to go!! Bravissimi!“

“I was looking for a place to cater lunch for my son's birthday party at the house. My original go to place was unexpectedly not available. I researched local places, and delicious moments came highly recommended. With a little more than 24hr notice, he was able to cater the party. The food was delicious and will definitely use again.“

“great food, clean and great service“

“Great Food! We are members of the Lakeville Estates Civic Association and we just had our Holiday Party this past Wednesday, which was catered by Tulip Caterers. We have to say that the Hero Sandwiches - all three choices (Italian, American and Vegetarian) were absolutely delicious! We would definitely recommend Tulip Caterers to anyone planing an event or party! Cindy and Jack Benigno“

“Marylyn and Juste Hors D'oeuvres recently catered our wedding. From the first contact right to the end of the wedding, Marylyn and her team were wonderful. Marylyn helped us with every detail of the wedding. Rentals, bartenders, staff, flowers... That was such a big help to have one point of contact. And the food...AMAZING!!! The guests raved about everything. My father said that it was the most tender filet mignon he ever had. And, my dad is the steak guy! We cannot thank the staff enough, especially Chef Manny, for their attentive, gracious service to us all. If you are looking for a caterer that delivers 100% every time, you cannot do better than Juste Hors D'Oeuvres!!!“

“We certainly picked the right caterer for our backyard wedding. From the beginning of planning the menu to the event everything was perfect. Danielle was amazing to work with planning the menu to suit our budget. Making adjustments as needed. Joe and Danielle came out the week before to view the site and give advice on how to set things up. The day of the event they were amazing. Came in took charge and handled everything so I could enjoy the day. The food and staff were amazing. I got complements on everything!!!! The event was everything we imagined and more!“

Each dish was thoughtfully crafted with a blend of flavors and textures that showcased the culinary expertise of the chefs. The presentation was a work of art, with every plate resembling a canvas that had been painted with exquisite precision.The service was impeccable, with the staff exhibiting a genuine passion for their craft.“

“I can't say enough good things about Prime. From the moment I called them to ask them to curate an "Amalfi coast" menu for my daughter's bridal shower, to the moment they finished serving that day, they were amazing. The food was excellent, creative, fresh and beautifully presented. The staff was professional, friendly, dedicated to making the day successful, and just an all around pleasure. I had many many compliments from guests on the deliciousness of the food. Even when there was a snafu in the kitchen (having nothing to do with the staff), the chefs and other staff pivoted like pros and every single thing came off as it needed to. This is a high quality outfit, with extremely delicious food, and just a great group of professionals. Thank you!“

“Mary, Kenny and Michael are the best!! They made our son’s Bar Mitzvah such a memorable evening and the time of our lives! They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect which led to an incredible and seamless evening. We, along with our guests, were blown away by the atmosphere, quality of food and the attentive nature of the entire staff. We couldn’t we be happier that we chose Temple Avodah and Kombert to celebrate this special milestone. There’s truly no other place like it!“

“Based on the reviews and comments in the Long Island restaurant group, I decided to use Carolynn to cater dishes for my Christmas dinner I hosted without first trying . Based on the food and service , I made an excellent decision. Carolynn was very pleasant and professional. She promptly returned calls and followed up on commitments including delivery of the food . The prices were very reasonable and the portions were generous . My guests raved over the quality and tastiness of the food . I ordered turkey wings , chicken wings, collard and string beans , cornbread and yam pudding which was the standout . Will definitely use her services again and recommend to anyone looking for good soul food .“

“Sal at Basil and Prime isn’t just making sandwiches—he’s creating edible masterpieces. This man is the heartbeat of Mineola’s finest Italian deli, and let me tell you, his skills in the kitchen and at the counter are unmatched.

From the moment I walked in, Sal’s impeccable customer service made the experience unforgettable. (He’s pretty hot too) (i hope he’s single) He greeted me with the kind of warmth and enthusiasm that instantly made me feel like family. Somehow, he juggled a line of hungry customers, grilled paninis, wrapped sandwiches, and restocked the fresh mozzarella—all while cracking jokes and giving each person his undivided attention. It was like watching a maestro conduct an orchestra of meats, cheeses, and condiments.

Now let’s talk about his sandwiches. Sal doesn’t just layer cold cuts—he builds culinary symphonies. My turkey, provolone, and roasted red pepper wrap was so perfectly balanced, it brought tears to my eyes. The mayo and mustard ratio? Absolute perfection. And don’t even get me started on the crispy chicken cutlets. Every bite was like a love letter to Italian food.

But Sal’s skills don’t stop at sandwiches. His quick wit and humor elevate the experience to another level. One time, after handing me the most beautiful chicken parm hero I’ve ever seen, he said, “Careful—this sandwich might make you come back tomorrow.” Spoiler alert: I couldn’t wait to return.

Sal is a deli icon, a customer service superstar, and the reason I’ll keep coming back to Basil and Prime every chance I get. If you haven’t had the privilege of meeting Sal and tasting his creations, you’re missing out on one of life’s greatest pleasures. Sal, you’re a legend—never change.

Here’s to more Salwiches!“

“Everything! Daaaalicious!“

“Great place to spend quality time with friends and family.“

“The blondies can't be beat!“

“Coral House is an amazing.place for any kind of celebration. We just had my daughter’s Sweet Sixteen Party and Jay did a fabulous job. The food, the staff, and the space was absolutely perfect. Jay helped so much, she was so easy and great to work with. I would definitely have another party at the Coral House. Thank you for an Amazing night!“

“First off the service is like no other. The BBQ chicken falls off the bone I travel from Long Island just for this food and I'm never disappointed. Come here and I promise you won't disappointed. My daughter is very picky and she loves the food.“

“We recently (March 2021) made our wedding with Genadeen at the Sephardic temple. It was beyond expectations. Everything was perfect — It was set up both indoors and outdoors, and as regulations changed, they were adaptive to our needs to be able to keep the wedding safe and per guidelines while also a true wedding party. The food was the best we’ve ever had at a wedding. We visited a lot of places and have been to a lot of weddings but Genadeen wins the prize. Our guests agreed. Finally, the staff are kind, responsive, courteous and friendly. Avi is a wonderful person to work with — incredibly responsive, creative and trustworthy. We were extremely satisfied with the experience of making our wedding with Genadeen. — — — — — — — — — — — — — Genadeen Caterers CJ Studios Nafshenu Orchestra Jerusalem Florist Thank you for making our wedding beautiful, elegant, fun, safe, joyous and awesome. The wedding was beyond our wildest dreams. Thanks to our families and friends for seeing us enter into this new joined, trusting, wonderful chapter of our lives.

“I’m just in love with this place. The food is amazing. Over the years, they have catered my son’s baptisms, graduations, birthdays and all in between. . I will ride all the way uptown just to bring this food home.
The staff working there are always friendly and polite.
I would recommend this place “GO MANAS ““

“We always order using delivery apps though wanted to come in for the full experience. SO GLAD WE DID. First off, this has to be one of the cleanest restaurants I have ever been in. That made me feel really happy. Now to the food! Came for the Taco Tuesday Special and so happy we did. We came very late in the evening so we missed the jerk chicken tacos though I was not disappointed in the jerk beef tacos. Such a great deal and it was delicious. These were the full size tacos, not the minis. Run don’t walk as I’m sure this deal wont last. We also ordered the fried fish and grits , we paid for extra for more fish and so goad we did. I didn’t expect a carribean place to be my new go to fish spot but here we are! We ordered the collard greens which were a little different than the southern style I’m accustomed to though had a spice to kick it up.

Friendly staff and very welcoming. They offered us samples of their new fresh made sea moss which was delicious and we grabbed more to take home.

Highly recommend visiting here for your next meal! Great price to value ratio on serving sizes and there are always great deals on delivery apps.“

“My favorite deli spot in Long Island! Everyone is friendly, attentive and the place is extremely clean.The food is reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. They have a variety of different sandwiches, wraps and cooked foods. I truly recommend for anyone that’s looking for a hearty meal!“

“Shahi Catering is FANTASTIC!! Authentic Indian food and just delectable! Our corporate catered food was absolutely top-notch. Highly recommended!“

“We threw our child’s first birthday party at Reception House recently and I highly recommend it those who want a beautiful venue, graceful decorations, phenomenal food and a highly caring and organized team that will help you through the whole party planning experience.1) Price: The managers at Reception House are very clear and upfront about all the costs during the first consultation and you can discuss the many variables based on your needs. If you need outside vendors for DJ/MC, makeup/hair etc, they make great recommendations. Because they are third party vendors, these costs are separate. They may seem pricey but it is all totally worth it. During the initial consultation, they very clearly explain when and how to make the payments.2) Organization: While they do basically everything for you, there were a few things that I needed to prepare. They clearly outline what these tasks are and what the timeline is. As long as you follow their guidance, you will be totally fine. They were prompt when responding to my questions and were always eager to help.3) On the day of the event: The team of managers and servers truly take care of all the nitty gritty tasks so you can focus on hosting and celebrating with your guests. They also communicate effectively with the MC and the photographers, so the party moves from one event to the next smoothly.4) Feedback from guests: They were all impressed by the decorations and how beautiful the venue was. We had Korean food and the guests raved about how delicious the food was.Overall, I wish I could give 10 stars instead of 5 based on my experience. If you are looking for a place to celebrate your special day, do not hesitate. I was beyond happy and satisfied with the whole process!!“

The room was nice ,it had a three section lounge area & held about 12 tables to which around eight to ten people could sit white wash design.The bathroom was close by. It had a bar area space to dance and a area for your food to be served. nice atmosphere.“
