What people say about Chef Bernard Henry

I'm happy to give my highest recommendation to Chef Bernard. Not only has he performed outstandingly for an event we held, but as the point of contact for my office, I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to work with someone who anticipated my questions and needs in advance. It was the first time since I have come to Capitol Hill (1981) that I felt comfortable about an event BEFORE the event took place.

Chef Bernard uses the freshest ingredients and magically puts the dishes together for an awe-inspiring meal. He also provided linens, silver, china, candles, flowers, tables and chairs.

If you are looking for "one-stop shopping," then you want to call Chef Bernard. I have dealt with all the top catering firms in the Washington, DC area and I will call him again for the next event.

Chef Bernard catered a small engagement party for my daughter. He was nothing short of amazing. We are American, she married an Iranian gentleman and frankly, I was extremely concerned about pleasing everyone, especially with regards to the food. He did a Mediterranean style buffet that exceeded everyone's expectations. He was both professional and charming and the in-laws still rave about the food.

I throw a lot of dinner parties and frankly will use no one else from now on. He was very patient with both my daughter and I and brides can be difficult! He actually listened to our concerns and again, the food was exceptional.

I highly recommend him!

My husband and I hosted a dinner party for a very dear friend's birthday for 15. It was a sit-down, 5-course dinner that was just lovely. From my end, everything was taken care of, I didn't have to worry about a thing, Chef Bernard was professional, thoughtful, and took care of every last detail (and my kitchen was left spotless!) From my guests' end, and most importantly, the guest of honor, the dinner was delicious, beautifully presented and the wine was exquisite. I would highly recommend his services.

Chef Bernard: I have to say that I absolutely loved this week’s food!! The salad was great and it lasted for lunch for the week. The Pot Roast was very tasty and the celery root was delicious. I loved the cauliflower steaks and the pasta. Again, l loved the guac with it zing. I have to say that this is exactly the style and flavor of food that I enjoy and you got it down perfectly. ----- I had been meaning to call you to tell you how pleased I am with this week’s food! The steak was yummy, chicken too, shrimp were divine and the cheese is really amazing with the olive/fig spread… It seems as if everything was really well thought out and prepared immaculately. ----- So far I am really loving the food. I had have the soup, farro salad and lamb chops; so far-yum!
