Aliki, Kostas, and the entire Kitchenina staff were absolutely incredible. When we first walked into the room, our breath was stolen by how beautiful they made the space look. Many of our guests took time to compliment us on how delicious the food was and how friendly all the staff were. I wish I could take credit, but that was all Aliki, Kostas, and their team's doing. The entire process was straightforward and transparent. The tasting was easy to schedule and they made adjustments to fit some dietary restrictions we knew some guests would have. Overall the cost was very reasonable compared to the quotes we got from 3-4 other vendors. If you are someone who is looking for a great caterer that is very communicative, attentive, and willing to go above and beyond to make your day that much more special while all still fitting in a reasonable budget, then Kitchenina is the right choice for you.
