Peter did an incredible job at our wedding at the NASW Aviation Museum in Cape May. He catered our 180 guest wedding, and the food tasted incredible. His staff was professional, friendly, and always made sure that we (the couple) had food at our table. The tasting was a lot of fun, we got a chance to taste the dishes at his restaurant (YBs) before finalizing our menu choice. He did a ton of pre-work, gave great suggestions, and just did everything he could to help the day of our wedding go smoothly.

Our guests were also extremely pleased. We got many comments about how delicious the food was, and how it was anything but typical wedding fare. (The appetizers included Spanakopita, meatballs, and Tuna Wonton, and the main courses, chicken, Mahi Mahi, and pork were just incredible.)

We could not have asked for a better caterer. Thank you so much Peter!

The Michael Kara catering group was very responsive to getting our needs met for our annual meeting for election of officers. The food they prepared was excellent, the amount was very good and It all tasted great. We had Greco chicken, red bliss potatoes and mixed vegetables. We put this out for competitive bid to three different caterers and Kara's rate was less than the others. They arrived early, keep the food warm in our ovens and set up the food to be ready when the rest of the organization arrived. All of the people involved comment on how good the food was. We are looking forward to having the Kara group serve food at next function.

Our rehearsal dinner experience at YB was terrific from start to finish.
Peter responded immediately to our request for information about a possible dinner, and the menu choices and venue were perfect.
Our guests complimented us on our choice, and thought the food and service were excellent.
