L.I. Valle Grill and owner Jaime Parra provided delicious, dominican food for our wedding plus an amazing catering team. They delivered, catered and served the food in our wedding. The catering team went above and beyond at our wedding. The peppered steak and black beans with rice were a favorite. I recommend LI Valle Grill not only for their tasty food but also for their exceptional customer service. - Katiusca Acosta
