The experience we had with Linwoods and my contact, Tali was amazing. The food was great, the staff was extremely polite and helpful, and Tali was such a joy to work with. From our first meeting with Tali at the restaurant, I knew this was the perfect fit. I know Tali was extremely busy, especially around the time of my wedding, but she gave me the attention and detail I needed and in turn, my wedding was fabulous. I am still getting compliments about the food and flow of the reception. I wish I could do it all again! Thanks Tali and Linwoods! We will see you soon for dinner :) Highly Recommended!

Tali Adelstein from Linwoods is a MUST for any wedding. Tali has been in this business for over 20 years and it shows -- she comes prepared with Plan A, B, and C (and beyond) resulting in food, drink and catering services that are of the highest caliber and level of professionalism. Nothing goes wrong on Tali's watch. She is so much more than just a caterer -- she becomes an invaluable and dedicated partner during the whole process of planning your event. Working with Tali was one of the essential assurances we had that the planning process would be a positive experience and would culminate into the wonderful event we had. If you hire Tali (and you absolutely should!), don't bother with a wedding planner. Tali covers all those roles and more.

I love Linwoods. The quality of food combined with the customer service is worth it. I customized our menu to reflect my and my groom's cultures and Linwoods stepped up to the challenge. We used our tasting to really hone in on what we were looking for and Linwoods created new recipes to met my expectations. I worked with Sherri Levin, who immediately put us at ease and delivered on all promises. I heard from several guests that we had the best wedding food. You guests will also not go hungry... the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres were constant and endless. The quality of ingredients and freshness of the food was amazing. While Linwoods might be slightly more expensive than other caterers, they present the most value. Many caterers limit the amount of food guests can have. Glasses remained full and no one left our wedding hungry.

We are still hearing about how good the meal was from our wedding. Eating very little during the wedding I was very upset but the food was even still amazing at 3 am after the party when we sat down and actually ate. Linwoods is where we have celebrated all of our special occasion and will continue the tradition!

Linwoods was above and beyond amazing! Sherri was so helpful during the entire planning experience, she offered great suggestions and really helped us to make our wedding unique to us. The food was INCREDIBLE. All of our guests were and still are talking about it. We had 2 tastings and everything was so delicious it was hard to choose.Their service is the best out there. Sherri gave us a call the day before the wedding to check in and see if there was anything we needed her to do. She and Jan came to our rehearsal and ran the whole thing efficiently to the point where we were all comfortable. On the day of, everything ran flawlessly. We were on time the entire night, the food came out hot and delicious, my husband and I had a person checking in to see if we needed anything, and there were enough staff to really take care of and pamper our guests. Linwoods is definitely worth the money because they leave you with no doubts and they exceed every expectation.

I can't say enough about how wonderful the folks at Linwoods were. We had a lot of special requests and they were so helpful and flexible. The groom is from Austria and wanted to serve wine from the family vinyard in Austria and to have a specially constructed wedding cake (an Imperial Torte) imported from Austria. Linwoods worked with us to make these complicated plans work. The venue looked beautiful, the staff was very helpful and the food was superb- absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Linwoods made our dreams come true. Our very international and cosmopolitan guests were very impressed, favorably comparing it to best service in various European capitals.

We worked with Sherri from Linwoods from the very beginning of our wedding planning. She arranged two different tastings for us and was very quick to answer most emails. There were seven Chefs attending my wedding and they all said that the food was delicious. Overall, they did a great job and were very very accommodating.

Sherri and the Linwoods staff are amazing to work with. Sherri was there to help us out when our original caterer went out of business and took our money with them. She was so easy to work with and took care of everything the day of my wedding. I didn't have to worry about a thing.Not to mention the food was delicious. All of our guests commented on how great the food was. Better than any wedding food I've ever had!!

We absolutely loved Linwoods! We worked with Linda Brown who was recommended by our planner. She was wonderful, and worked with us to make the menu perfect, and a total reflection of our favorite foods and our personalities. The food is absolutely wonderful and the service is flawless as well. I felt so confident in them from the beginning that I had no worries at all. I knew our guests would be served a delicious meal by friendly and competent servers and they delivered perfectly! Loved them and couldn't imagine using anyone else! Did I mention perfect?

One word - phenomenal! If food matters at all to you, Linwoods will deliver. The food is amazing, the service is gracious and Sherri Levin - our coordinator - is a godsend. Sherri always anticipated what needed to be done and was a great resource in recommending a florist and a DJ as well. Every one of my guests commented on how great the food was and how helpful and pleasant the wait staff was. Thinking it would be easier, I asked Linwoods to make my wedding cake as well. It was a great decision - I think it was the best dessert I've ever had...I can't say enough about Linwoods, Sherri and the rest of the staff. They may be slightly more expensive than others, but well worth the extra cost.

All I can say is WOW!!! Guests are still raving about the hors d'oeuvres and the great service Sherri and the rest of the staff at Linwood's provided. It was truly a pleasure working with Linwood's. Their staff is friendly, efficient, and are on top of everything. Not one hicup before, during or even after our wedding. Sherri is extremely patient, sweet and just loves what she does. I kind of wish I was still planning my wedding just so that I could continue working with her. Should you decide to go with Linwood's, ask for Sherri, she will put your mind at ease....I promise!

I really cannot say enough positive things about Sherri and the Linwoods staff. Our day was perfect - something that Sherri and team personally saw to in every area. I attribute much of how smoothly the day went to them. In addition to enjoying their wonderful food,which my guests complimented emphatically, it was a pleasure working with a team that was a professional, responsive and organized as Linwoods. I wholeheartedly recommend them for others' events.

Our wedding reception was held at Linwoods. The food was exceptional and the service was great. Our waiters were attentive and professional. Working with Leslie was a pleasure. She was very helpful and had great ideas. I can't wait to return for dinner. I would recommend Linwoods private dining room for small reception dinners. The dining room is beautiful and the food delicious. All our guest were impressed with the meal and service. Thanks for helping to make our special day wonderful.

If food is important to you like it was to me, you cannot go wrong with Linwoods. Tali, the director I worked with knows her stuff and the site inside and out. Take all of her advice. We had 2 stationary hors dourves, 6 passed, a first course with a 1/2 serving of soup served in tiny pumpkins and a half salad, and a choice of entre, chicken or beef. Everyone commented how amazing the food and its presentation were. My husband and I had a dedicated wait staff to ensure we ate, and they even brought us hors douvres and drinks to where we were having pictures done so we could enjoy them. When we got back to our room that night, there was leftovers from the reception in the mini-fridge! Tali also coordinated all my linen, chair and table rentals and helped me lay out the room.

Linwoods is absolutely fabulous - their service is impeccable, their quality of food was absolutely wonderful, and they were such a pleasure to work with. We worked with Sherri Levin, and she is really down to earth and great. She understands your needs, is very professional, and a straight talker. She understood my budget, my desire for quality, appreciated my ideas, and was able to balance all of it. She knows what she is doing and worked hard to execute a wonderfully catered event. They catered falafels for us for our Sangeet with various accompaniying side items, the guests absolutely loved the food. She was also great about working with our Indian caterer. She is a pro, and I am so glad we worked with Linwoods.I would definitely recommend them to friends and family!

Linwood's has been our special occasion dinner place for years, so it made sense for us to go with them for the wedding. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious and plentiful, the service was smooth and inobstrusive. Our guests loved the appetizers especially. I loved how easy they were to work with, and the way they handled so many things for us -- from chair rental to table coverings. They were professional and kept this bride very calm!

Linwood's food and service for cocktails, buffet dinner, after party and Sunday brunch was exceptional! They're expensive but worth every penny. Linda Brown was creative and flexible in helping us plan delicious, interesting menus and managed the events flawlessly. Mother-of-the-Bride.

This service has professional servers, exquisite menus, creative ideas and impressive flexibility. You are paying a price for quality and it is worth it. From the appetizers to ideas for late night DJ snack menu Linwoods is able to provide it. Don't be afraid to ask for exactly what you want. That is the only way they will be happy.
