I’m so glad we chose Sweet Basil as our caterer for the Step Up Women’s Network annual membership celebration. They were amazing! The entire team offered great service and was very helpful. All of the food was delicious. The presentation was great, too. The food looked as good as it tasted, and their table was beautiful and creative.

I hired Sweet Basil Catering for an international product launch for 175 guests held at a Manhattan loft space for our biggest client, a world leader in consumer goods packaging. We’re based in Paris, so finding a reliable New York City caterer to partner with for this event was imperative. Amy and her staff exceeded our expectations from the first call until the very day of the launch party. Before the event, she was full of ideas and advice and willing to adapt to and improve upon our ideas. During the event, the staff was more than dedicated to us, with impeccable service. The food and decoration (hand-painted orchids amongst other beautiful decor) were exquisite. The guests marveled at it all.

We’ve hired Sweet Basil for our last three annual corporate cocktail receptions and no matter the scenery or the event the food and service are both consistent and delightful. Amy will work with you to make sure the menu is exactly what you want and will make sure you are not stressed and capable of enjoying your event. Hands down the best catering in New York City.

It is always hard for someone who’s a devoted cook to turn over “her” kitchen to outsiders, but as soon as I met Amy I knew she would be great. And so it proved. Her team is as calm, charming, and as easygoing as Amy herself, but exceptionally sharp and professional when it comes to providing first-class service. Everyone raved about the food, and it was presented imaginatively as a real visual treat. Their team of caterers managed the guests’ requirements very professionally, creating a good atmosphere. It all went flawlessly. They left our place immaculate, leaving both us and our guests wanting to see them again, and soon.

Sweet Basil has the right formula: great customer service + amazing food and drinks = my go-to source for NYC catering. I hired Sweet Basil for a series of corporate C-level VIP events. The food was a hit and Sweet Basil couldn’t be easier to work with.

My colleagues and I have been using Sweet Basil Catering for the past eight years to cater engagement parties, birthday parties, and Diwali. They provide complete amenities-bar service, friendly wait staff, chefs, and truly delicious hors d’oeuvres and dishes. They always leave the place spotless.

I planned a fundraising benefit for 250 people for Manhattan Country School and used Sweet Basil for the catering. From the beginning of the planning process, Sweet Basil took care of all the details and worked with me to create the event that was right for our school’s community and one that fit within our budget. The timing of the drinks and food was perfect. They were accommodating and flexible throughout the entire evening. The food was delicious and the presentation was unique and whimsical, yet elegant and simple. Because our school has a working farm in the Catskills, Sweet Basil worked with our farm staff to create a menu using our farm’s available produce and meat products. The catering team treated us with respect, care, and generosity, all the while maintaining a high level of professionalism – making them the perfect New York City caterer for our community-oriented school.

Everything was absolutely fantastic – from the food to the staff…just absolutely impeccable. I can’t thank you enough for helping to create such a remarkable experience for our guests.

Great service, knowledgeable staff, five-star food, trustworthy & dependable, they’ve got it all. I’ve used my share of catering companies in New York City, but I have to say Sweet Basil is hands down the best NYC caterer I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I’ve used them numerous times for different types and sizes of events and their staff is always professional and goes out of their way to make sure everything runs smoothly. They will customize menus and decor- tailoring everything to my specifics.

Sweet Basil catered our corporate luncheon which was a celebration of a business relationship. I couldn’t have been happier with the variety of food and the exceptional flavors of EVERYTHING that they prepared. Their exceptional job helped mark the luncheon as a celebration – not simply a shared meal. I will definitely be working with this New York City caterer the next time we need a spread. They are professional and organized, and their food is outstanding.

We have hired Sweet Basil Catering for a number of corporate cocktail parties in our NYC office and each time the food, presentation, and service were outstanding. This is high praise coming from me as I consider myself a foodie and I work in a creative field where the visual appearance of things is very important. Amy and her staff are at the top of their game and are also a pleasure to work with.

Amy and her team catered our annual Duane Morris & Francis Financial Summertime Soirée, a 200-person, high-end event that’s our largest event of the year. I could not have been more pleased, and the guests raved about each and every bite which was beautifully presented. Everything was delicious. From my end of things as the event planner, the SB team made my job easy. The setup and execution were seamlessly done, and it was one less thing for me to worry about.

Star sweetbasil

The food was excellent. Everyone has stopped by to let us know that the caterer was perfect. The service was great, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.

The entire Sweet Basil Catering team was incredibly professional, prepared, and dependable. The process from planning, to event execution was flawless. Amy worked closely with me to ensure that all of my client's needs would be met and their satisfaction assured. All of that said, the food was simply delicious and consistent. It was beautifully presented and the servers were pleasant and readily available. As an event planner, it is a genuine pleasure to have a key component of an event’s success in such capable hands. I look forward to more catering collaborations with Sweet Basil again.
