It is always a pleasure having North Star cater for all of our events. They are prominent, friendly, and welcoming and the food is amazing every time!

First let me start by saying the service was very friendly and very good. I've seen a lot of negative comments here but at least my experience was very good. I went for meatless Monday and had an assortment of small appetizers so that I can try a lot of small plates at one time. The least liked was the cauliflower wings, it just didn't impress with really no crunch and what looked like small clumps smothered in Hawaiian sauce. I had the tofu buns which I did enjoy and would like to see just a bit more pizzazz in them. Next I had the vegetable dumplings...these were very good. Last was the yasai roll which was such a different experience with ground peanuts and a spicy mustard already in the mix. It was certainly out of the ordinary. This place has indoor and outdoor seating and has a modern vibe to it. They do offer free parking but unless you know where it's at you'll probably be parking on the street. It's an all around nice location just north of the Design District. No ice tea was a let down, the only option here was matcha green tea which is a turn off. Expect moderate prices and on heavy traffic days I do recommend a reservation as seating is limited. They are true to vegetarian and vegan dishes using true veg/vegan ingredients and cooking methods. And of course they have standard Japanese options that are not meatless. Menu is posted online, have fun!

We hired Conscious Bite to cater our wedding, and could not have been happier! Alex and her team were so easy to work with, and came up with a brilliant menu to please all of our guests! They were able to create a spread that didn't leave anyone wanting, paleo and vegan alike. Passed hors d'oeuvres consisted of chorizo with a guava glaze, mini arepas with quesito, and mini chicken and waffles. Our dinner buffet was fantastic - grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, rice, beans, salad, and maduros. They did an amazing job of blending my husband's family background with my own - a perfect reflection of our life together. People are still talking about how good the food was! On top of all of that, their head bartender, Katy, designed two amazing signature cocktails that fit the theme of our wedding, and my husband and my personalities perfectly. She created a cucumber infused vodka cocktail for "Her" signature cocktail, and a bacon and maple infused bourbon for "His". Still the best cocktails I have ever had! Their serving staff and bartenders were very courteous and charmed our guests with professionalism, charisma and efficiency. We would definitely use Conscious Bite again, and recommend them to everyone. Thank you for making our wedding day perfect!

It was really really good!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

So glad they finally opened a physical restaurant.  We came by on their soft opening,  and my mind is blown.  They keep doing it right.  This space is officially the best restaurant space in the upper east side.  Hands down. The outdoor patio only helps solidify this sentiment. Great place for families. Had the chicken and waffle, and the mackin. Both were amazing, as well as the sides of mac n cheese and sweet potato fries. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Kudos to Christian and the team for extending the brand in such an amazing way.

I have driven by here on my way to and from Barry University for two years and today I finally stopped in. I called ahead to make sure they were not so busy that I would have to wait. The service was excellent and the food was exceptional. I do not consume gluten, so my waiter helped me to make sure that all I chose was gluten free. I had eggplant parmesan and strawberry cheesecake with a graham cracker crust. The red sauce on the eggplant parmesan was fantastic! It was very tasty! This is an excellent eatery. I am glad I finally stopped and checked out Mama Jennie's!
