We had an epic experience with the Norr Kitchen Team. We had a team, Leslie, Anthony and Ali prep and serve a private dinner at an AirBnB for friends and family (party of 10). The dinner and experience was just perfect. They hosted a cocktail hour with apps, a 3-course dinner with wine pairing and closed with desserts and port. The food and presentation were fabulous. The Norr team was easy to work with to set up the experience and they executed it beautifully. If you want a special dining experience, I would highly recommend. The team was professional, engaging and quite clean. Not only did they create a wonderful dining experience, they cleaned it all up too. High quality food, preparation and professionalism wrapped up in just a fun and unique dining experience. Thanks Norr Kitchen Team!

This was the best experience we've ever had. It felt like we were cooking with friends, who happened to be the greatest chefs in the world. We could not recommend them enough we plan on working with them in the future and hiring them to cater everything we do! We are still talking about their food

Absolutely blown away. I’m actually kind of upset that I had the experience because I now feel like my life has peaked. Such an unforgettable culinary flavor journey. Will absolutely be booking them again to “chase the dragon” of how good this first time was.

From the moment we arrived, the staff at NORR Kitchen & Craft Bar showcased a level of professionalism and attentiveness that is unmatched in the industry. On the day of the event, the waitstaff operated with precision and grace. Every member was knowledgeable about the menu and forthcoming with recommendations, and their efforts to anticipate our needs and made sure they were commendable to the needs of everyone. Whether refilling drinks or serving appetizers they maneuvered through the crowd with agility, ensuring that no guest felt uncomfortable .

We hired Christiann for a gathering of about 12 guests, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. The chicken was beautifully cooked and well-seasoned, and the gnocchi blew us away. Christina was punctual and attentive to every detail, ensuring everything went smoothly. Her quick and efficient clean-up allowed us to relax and enjoy the evening. I highly recommend Christina and look forward to working with her again. List Item

NOR kitchen provided a private chef experience for my sister’s bachelorette at our AirBnb. I cannot say enough good things about Christiann and NOR kitchen. From the first interaction, Christiann was enthusiastic about my project and transparent about pricing. There were plenty of menu options to choose from and everything they served was exceptional. The bride said “best broccoli I have ever had!” NOR kitchen was more than just great food though, they provided a relaxing, fun experience for guests with paired cocktails and table service. They even deep cleaned the kitchen when they left! I was especially impressed at their professionalism. The oven at the AirBnb wouldn’t work and they problem solved the issue without our help so we could relax. 10/10 unforgettable! Thank you Christiann and team!

My husband and I had such a wonderful experience with Norr Kitchen. Not only was the food amazingly delicious, but the attention to every detail made the atmosphere feel magical (from the place settings, to the candlelights, to the lights and fountain around the table). Thank you Norr Kitchen for an incredible evening!

We had a wonderful time with NORR. The presentation of the entire dining service was exquisite. From the experience of the lounge space to every napkin and fork was intriguing to me as a client. The lighting and candles to set the mood was perfect for the atmosphere we desired. Each drink and each course that came out was served at the right time, not too late and not too early. The Chef and Maitre D were easy to connect with and had next level hospitality skills. The strawberry lemonade mocktail was so refreshing while being extremely delicious. The first course of appetizers had a great variation and each one was delicious in their own way. Calamari was a favorite at the party. The second course of seafood soup and salad had an authentic flavor without being too on the nose. Which is ideal for seafood. The pasta was exceptional quality. It had the taste of true handmade quality. And the proteins were well seasoned and the perfect texture. My most valued quality of NORR kitchen is its ability to serve delectable and tasteful food, while still making my stomach feel healthy. That’s good food to me.st Item

The food was incredible and obviously that’s important but what truly stood out to me was the attention to detail for the entire evening. The table settings, the food presentation, the music selection, the candles on the table, when they turned the fire on, I could tell that each element was carefully considered for maximum enjoyment of the overall experience and it was a wild success in my opinion. An experience demands to be experienced and to really be present with food in front of you and the people sitting with you and I had a wonderful time!!

Love love love our events with Christiann over the years that have always, without exception, been such a ‘looked forward to’ experience! Every element is considered and the hosting and environment, every time it’s unique and so memorable. Whether it’s been a simple family gathering or a high end experiential evening with courses, each guest is cared for and the food, wine pairings and craft cocktails are next level. I especially have appreciated the consideration of my complex dietary restrictions. With Christiann being a creative director and food stylist as well, the presentation adds a whole other element beyond traditional chefs or caterers in that realm of expertise. leaving us with beautiful memories!

NORR is fabulous! I've had their food at different times over the years as they've offered and they have never disappointed! The menu is always unique and delicious. Their service is professional and also personal. It's clear their goal is to make your meal unforgettable. They think of all the small things that make up a 5 star experience, including lighting and music. I highly recommend booking with NORR!

This was my second tasting menu dinner at Norr Kitchen, and Chef Matt is amazing every time! I really enjoyed the intimate dining experience.
