We are pleased to introduce our services to New York City's discerning hosts. Over the last six years, we built a reputation in New England for the finest in creative cuisine and service, and we now proudly offer our private five-star restaurant experience to New York diners. We'll design your dream dinner menu and serve you and up to 20 of your guests. We also do cocktail parties with appetizers for up to 50 guests. As a complete event planning service, we can build on your event theme with decor enhancements, musicians, performance artists, and more. Each Oasis event is a unique work of art that reflects your good taste and entertainment skills - an event your guests will talk about for years.

Our Food
    At Oasis we take food, but not ourselves, very seriously. So you will enjoy culturally distinct creations that are authentic, unique, and flawlessly executed without being fussy or over-wrought.  The New York restaurant scene is arguably the best on the planet, and it's a thrill to explore, but entertaining in your own home in comfort and style is a rare treat. And we can do things for your private party that no restaurant can match at any price.  Imagine - any menu you want, made fresh.  We shop and build the the mise-en-place for every menu fresh for service.
   Organics are the hot new trend in restaurants - locally grown produce and free-range meat and game. But almost all caterers still stock the cheapest raw ingredients possible to keep costs down.  At Oasis we've been using organics and sourcing from local farms since we started - before most restaurants were doing it. Does it cost more? Most of the time, yes. Is it worth it?  Oh, yes.
   In addition to our original creations, we offer preparations from the world's great chefs and food writers to bring you the best of the best. Our menu says it all. If you’re tired of caterers pushing what they need to unload, and over-designed appetizers with busy descriptions, come to Oasis. Food design is not a contest to see how many expensive ingredients you can pile onto a cracker.  At Oasis, we start with authentic cultural roots, and build on them carefully. With truly great food, sometimes less is more.  And when the menu calls for an elaborate presentation, we deliver.

 Our chefs produce a global array of authentic distinguishable cultural styles. A lot of caterers can offer a passable Asian dish, but try asking for Cambodian, or Laotian, or Vietnamese, or Indonesian, and see if they even know the difference.

When you can't find it anywhere else, try Oasis.

Our Services
  The idea is this - a world-class five-star restaurant experience in your home, or the private venue of your choice, without lifiting a finger. No taxis in traffic, no worry about reservations, no waiting in line. Ever try to book that "hot new restaurant", and find out you have to wait three months and go on a Tuesday at 5:15? Try booking it for a party of 12. Impossible? Not any more - your house is the hot new restaurant, and you can have the party whenever you want . We will plan and execute the menu, provide all staff and accessories, decorate the house, arrange transportation for guests, design themed music programs, or hire entertainers. We do the legwork, and you get to relax and be the ultimate host.

The Buzz
  Now in our sixth year, Oasis has maintained a 100% satisfaction rate among our clients, because we focus on service excellence and food quality, not food cost skimming and profit margins. We're different, and diners who know the difference have made us succeed. Here's what our clients have to say:

 
" We were unable to find anyone to serve an authentic Persian menu for our party until we found Oasis. Everything was incredible - from the mezze appetizers to the lamb fesenjaan to the kalakand, carrot halwa, and fig ice cream for dessert. Our relatives from Egypt and Pakistan were amazed and delighted!"
Bride and Groom, Persian wedding party, January, 2008

" I can't thank you and your crew enough for the fantastic job you did.  We have been getting rave reviews and are trying to spread your name all over town.  If you get a lot of requests, you'll know who they're from.  Everything was perfect and you were a delight to work with. We have to plan another event because we'll miss you! "
Host of private birthday party, November 2007

" You and your staff are the best! We could not have asked for better food and drink! We want you to know how much we appreciate all of your hard work to make our party the best! All of our guests raved about your food and wine pairings. A good time was had by all and we hope to employ you soon at another happy occasion."
Note from dinner hosts, August, 2006

" I'm an executive at a global securities firm, and I travel worldwide, entertaining clients at the best restaurants in New York, London, Paris, and San Francisco. This is the best meal I've eaten in ten years. I never would have expected this at a catered event!"
Guest at a wedding party in Wellfleet, MA, September, 2006.

We get kudos even when we don't get hired:
" I just learned on Tuesday evening, that my son and future daughter-in-law have found a restaurant venue in Boston that they would like to use for their rehearsal dinner. They were very pleased with your menu recommendations and all that we discussed, however in the end, they found the venue that they wanted. I appreciate the conversations and responses to my numerous requests. You did so much work without any commitment, and never made me feel obligated.  I know you have a first class operation and the food and service would have been wonderful! Thank you again for all your time and efforts. Best wishes in your continued success."
