“Anaviv Team, we can’t thank you enough for the creative and thoughtful design and approach to Nate’s Bar Mitzvah party! We are still glowing on reflection of the wonderful ramen bar and “grown-up” food. So yummy and creative. Thank you.”

“Thank you so much to you & your team for providing amazing food at our wedding! We know our guests appreciated you and your team’s personal touches! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You.”

“Wanted to send you a quick line to let you know how EPIC you made our wedding. I cannot tell you how many people told us it was the “best wedding food” they have EVER HAD! And these people have gone to many o’ weddings! Your calm, awesomeness made everything such a breeze we both fought over our food and ate the entire thing! Fortunately (for us, maybe not you) we plan to be your friend forever and come visit at the restaurant and keep in touch. We love you and are so grateful and thank you to the moon for everything.”
– Charlotte and Khalil, October 2018

“Your staff & the food were simply the best, and we appreciate it hugely. Truly we couldn’t have dreamt of a better wedding team… or food! There aren’t words to express our gratitude, nor our love for everything we tasted & experienced in Olema thanks to your exceptional work. I sincerely hope we have reason to work with you again –”
– Lauren + Dan, September 2018

“Thank you for all the amazing food, lovely servers + positive energy. It was a great party.”
– Tannis, July 2018

“The party was amazing and went in a flash, and the food was delicious. Chef Ed nailed everything – esp the cheesesteak, down to bread. Everyone was freaking out over the food and how delish/low key and elegant it was all at the same time.”
– Leslie, May 2018

“You have been a pleasure to work with even in the most chaotic of moments.”
– Jen, Contemporary Jewish Museum Facilities Manager, May 2018

“I know people were impressed with the food, presentation and service and took note of the company name. At the end of the evening it was so nice to have everything whisked away, leftovers packaged up and the place looking almost like there had never been a party. I can’t wait to have another event!!!”
– Geri, Company Holiday Party, December 2017

“The food, presentation, charm, everything was amazing and wildly exceeded my expectations. Let alone you pulled it together in two weeks. I heard nothing but amazing reviews “the best blueberry pie I’ve ever had, I can’t believe they just brought pizza out to our table, the vegetable spread, the bartender was so nice…””
– Amanda & Tonia’s wedding, October 2017

“The food was amazing! We are grateful to have found you.”
– Carol Richards (mother of the bride), October 2017

“Thank you SO MUCH for all of your hard work last weekend. The food was amazing, and your team did a fantastic job. I’ve had many friends compliment the food and cocktails (people were absolutely LOVING the beef- my dad asked another table if he could have theirs!). We had a wonderful time and of course the food plays a big part in that.”
– Isabel Chirinos, Wedding, August 2017

“The food, presentation and service were all top-notch. Everything was delicious and looked amazing. We received a lot of compliments throughout the evening, thanks to you and your team.”
– Jocelyn M. Abisia, Corporate Client, January 2017

“The delicious food and smooth, professional service that you brought to our party were all that we could have hoped for and more. I realized after the fact how many little details you attended to that I was completely and blissfully unaware of at the time.”
– Diana Renshaw, Wedding, August 2016

“We appreciate your going above and beyond.”
– Petros Maniatis, Grand Opening January 2017

“Just the first of many notes to thank you both (and your wonderful people) for the amazing dinner at the farm last night. Everyone absolutely loved it and you made it all so easy for us. It is hard to say which dish was the best but the bastilla was a definite hit. And many people said it was the best tabbouleh they had ever had. We know how hard it is to cook really good food so we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a perfect, festive meal.”
– Jennifer Sherman, Chez Panisse, September 2016
