classy party catering worthy of my fine foodie friends

Cynthia catered a buffet party for 100 in my home. She presentted an Asian fusion feast that please discerning gourmets at a price that pleased me. Even more important, I enjoyed working with her and she blended gracefully with the guests. I will definitely call on her again.

• Pros: She really is a delight to plan and work with.
• Cons: Her support person failed to show the night of our party but I assume she's solved that problem by now.

Amazing Caterer / Chef

by msteeves at Citysearch

My husband and I had Cynthia Washburn do the food for our wedding party a few months ago and were incredibly happy with her work. She was reliable, punctual, professional, very cool and a master in the kitchen. In years to come, I'm not sure what people will remember most about that party...the bride and groom or the food. It will be a tough call. :)

Food to die for

by fastpatti at Citysearch

Hamachi poke; parsnip soup; venison in a coffee-vanilla sauce; molten chocolate heaven for dessert. AHH. Cynthia Washburn catered a private dinner for us and four friends, and weeks later people are still talking about it. The food was outstanding - perfectly prepared, creative, and in tune with the winter season. Each dish was explained, and the wine pairings were just right. We've eaten in a lot of fine restaurants - French Laundry, Dining Room at the Ritz Carlton, Boulevard, Le Cirque in both New York and Las Vegas, Nobu in London, to name just a few - as well as many excellent neighborhood joints - and we know food. Our dinner experience with Cynthia ranks in the top 10. Service-wise, Cynthia was top-notch - she expertly timed our meal around the needs of 3 babies under 12 weeks old, and at the end of the meal, our kitchen was left spic-and-span. Bravo! We'll definitely hire her again.
