Leading…read moreup to the event, I made several changes to the menu, and he was always so gracious and accommodating. The night of the event, Jonathan and his lovely wife Amber showed up and set to work creating the most magical meal - amazing charcuterie presentation, and the most incredible paella I've had. Even my family members from Spain raved about the food, and folks were talking about it for days after. On top of all that, Jonathan and his wife are just lovely people, so personable and fun to talk to. I cannot recommend Jonathan and La Paella enough, and will be referring him to friends in the area - 5 star service and food!

A true family run catering business started in the early 90's that I remember from my days living…read morein Bend beginning in the late 90's, they came to the rescue for my brother and his wife who arrived in Bend late on December 23 to spend time with my elderly dad who is at home with caregivers when they needed a holiday dinner that they weren't going to want to cook. They ordered the holiday meal for six, example menus linked here https://bendcatering.com/catering/holidays/, had someone pick it up for them the afternoon of the 23rd and when the meal was served on Christmas day it amply fed not only the six people planned but there was ample amount to feed three more who dropped in. Leftovers for the next day too. Everyone enjoyed every item from ham and turkey through sides and pies ordered (add on) for dessert. Cody's Country Catering (the Yelp header says Country Catering but Cody's has been part of the name for as long as I remember), also does weddings, family reunions, business meetings and other events and has luncheon menus in addition to dinner fare. Family meal dinners in serving sizes as small as for four people are also available to pick up on Fridays. Or were so maybe still are with pre-order by phone. Note this is carnivore / omnivore centric. https://bendcatering.com/family-dinners/

I went to a wedding this weekend and I have to say it was one of the worst meals I ever had. I…read morecouldn't even eat it. I threw it away. I've been in the restaurant business for years and do my own catering, and I felt embarrassed for the host and I'm sure they spent a good amount of money to have this. There was an appetizer of barbecue tips which was OK a little fatty pieces not trim well smothered in barbecue sauce served with guac and salsa. Later when they were putting this stuff away, they were putting the chips back in the bag with no gloves on, how unsanitary All I can think of is they were going to use the chips again otherwise they would've thrown them away after somebody touched them with their hands very disgusting not even allowed in the food business. The salad seemed like package, chopped up lettuce lot of iceberg with there small bowls of dressing. Nothing really special added no tomato, cucumbers, olives, anything. Garlic bread was served in foil wrap very greasy . lukewarm barbecue chicken no sauce on it had to add it on the side sauce was cold , then the topper was some sort of cut of beef maybe a London broil, but it either was cut on the wrong grain. It was about a half inch thick it was cooked medium to medium rare, . But it was the toughest piece of meat. I was trying to cut it, and the fork broke and the knife broke The person next to me couldn't cut it either. they were saying I should. I pick it up with my hand naw it. I would be embarrassed if I was the catering company putting out this kind of food. If you're gonna put that cut of meat out, keep it whole have someone there carving it. Cutting thin slice it on the right grain so that people can eat it.The macaroni and cheese was like glorified Velveeta cheese flat in flavor they served it with a big soup scoop instead of a a normal serving spoon it all lopped up into the spoon had to tap it against the table to get it out. No seasoning very disappointing. The Server at one point seemed to be very mad cleaning up. She was rushing and pounding things against the table one of the guest said that someone should go over to her and tell her to cool it because it was very distracting. Very embarrassing representation of a company. Feel bad for the bride and groom that had to pay for this. . A writing this because sometimes owners don't see what direction their business is going in and how their staff represent them. So I hope you take this with consideration of the honest feedback. I'm giving . You need to regroup and review what you're serving.

When they first opened…read morewe figured they needed to work out some kinks (everything was tasting and very similar to PF Changs). Now that there is a new owner, dining in, food is much better. Portions are on point with price. Takeout is another story half the food for the same price. Takeout portions are drastically smaller and not worth the expense and time picking up. Pick up times that they give you are way off. Showed up about 5 minutes before the scheduled pick up but had to wait another 30 mins past their pick up time before the order was ready. Hopefully they can improve because they're a great asset to the community in the south part of Bend. I'll update with another review next time we stop in.
