I was pretty unhappy with the food at my sons bar mitzvah. Part of that was due to keeping within kosher guidelines we were limited with food, heating and cooking. To their credit we were catering an event on Shabbat after a holiday. But if I had known this would mean non toasted stale bagels, parve tasteless cream cheese (of which there was not enough and we ran out of cream cheese during the event- unacceptable for a brunch) and food that had been sitting in a warmer for several days, I would have definitely opted for a non kosher venue with fresh, hot and normally prepared food where I didn’t have to buy disposable dishes.I think this caterer was trying to deliver the food for the event while trying to stay within their COR restrictions but the result was sub par food for my guests. We shouldnt be running out of food at a big event where I am paying north of $4K. I also asked for a kiddush snack to be provided for the synagigue members and was a bit apalled that it ended up being a very small platter of pastries and fruit which I could have got for $15-$20 not paid caterer $100...If you have a choice to not go COR, choose another caterer or DONT use a COR caterer on Shabbat. But I wasn’t happy with the quantity or quality of the food and the fact that we had to provide disposable dishes. You also expect the caterer to remmeber small details like linens etc and decor preferences. The day before we discovered that the napkins we ordered to match tablecloths never arrived. And when I asked the caterer about it she questioned why I even ordered those napkins. We had to rush out to the linens provider and get them ourselves. Instructions had been given in writing so I was not impressed that they forgot them and then when confronted with that told me my request was basically not even important. Just take some responsibility!On the plus side the servers were helpful and worked hard at the event.
Bought Chicken Soup with noodles and zero noodles found. ??? Where are the noodles Ely ?

The food is consistently amazing - fresh and delicious; creative, yet simple and just plain good. We are "frequent flyers" at Ely's and don't plan on stopping.

We hosted my grandson's bar mitzvah in our back yard which Manny catered. Needless to say the food was amazing, the service staff were, accommodating, efficient and professional.
This was a huge undertaking yet Manny was calm and patient throughout, even visiting during the event to ensure all was going well. He went above and beyond and was an integral part of the success of the event.

I had great Asian crispy beef Grab and go dinner from there!!
Ely's Fine Foods recently did my daughters Wedding AND Shabbat Kattan. We obviously went from 375 guests to 50 for the Wedding which was a big shock. Manny was Fantastic and treated us in the same manner and worked with us to make a creative meal that would suit a smaller more intimate event. The food was outstanding. The price always competitive (if not better) and Most of all service is impeccable and always with a smile and a lot of love. I am now using Ely's Fine Foods for Rosh Hashanah as the food and salads were and are so outstanding.
