    Wedding tasting leftovers packed up neat and nicely for us in a to-go bag. They even included eating utensils and napkins.
    Daniel B.

    My first review for Bold Catering & Design was for their catering service at our company holiday party in 2011. At that time, they were known as Bold American Events. We've had good results with Bold at our company parties and have used them multiple times over the years. We've never a bad experience with them (at least, in my opinion). Now, I'm getting married. My fiancee and I hired a wedding planner. After booking our venue, the Atlanta History Center and Swan House, and letting our planner know our tastes and vision for the wedding, her first recommended caterer to us was Bold. I wasn't surprised. I've enjoyed Bold's food and am also a fan of their restaurant group, Fifth Group Restaurants (Alma Cocina, Ecco, La Tavola Trattoria, Lure, South City Kitchen, The Original El Taco). Bold is also an approved caterer at the History Center as well as many other popular Atlanta wedding venues. Our wedding planner worked with Michelle Segura at Bold and set up a private tasting appointment for us. This was my first wedding tasting and I was impressed. The experience was essentially a private, seated chef's tasting. It was like going on a nice date. There were elegant table settings and a personal server. As each course came out, the chef who prepared the course explained the dish(es) to us. Presumably, relatively big catering companies like Bold can afford to do these intimate private tastings, with chefs and servers on-hand, at no charge because the company is selling catering orders on the magnitude of tens of thousands of dollars to each couple. The tasting took place at the King Plow Arts Center where Bold's offices are based. Bold has two free marked parking spots in the surface lot outside. Otherwise, I think you have to pay for parking. Our tasting table was candle-lit, which added to the upscale ambiance. The room was bright enough so we could get a good look at and take decent pictures of the food. Our server, Raheen Brown, was (I believe Michelle called him) a "VIP" server; one that my fiancee and I could choose to be our personal server at our wedding. He would be assigned to serve only us. That's pretty cool. Raheen was exceptional, pretty much the perfect server. He was extremely polite and attentive and he neatly packed up our leftovers to take home and enjoy. He was great. Before the tasting, our wedding planner emailed us a preliminary proposal that Michelle put together. She also emailed us sample photos from Bold. We chose a few each of passed hors d'oeuvres, stations (we decided to go with dinner stations instead of a seated dinner), and desserts. Reviewing the proposal and choosing what we wanted to taste was actually more challenging and time-consuming than I thought it'd be. Obviously, food means a lot to me (just look at my Yelp account) and I want to have good food at my wedding. Bold has quite the catering menu with many, many options. It took my fiancee and I a couple sittings to pore over the menu and decide what we wanted to sample at our tasting. Not only did we want food that was delicious, interesting, and unique - we're both adventurous eaters/foodies and so are many of our guests - we also wanted to accommodate all of our guests' tastes, allergies, and dietary restrictions. It can be tough to balance. Plus, Bold had so many wonderful-sounding options that it was already tough enough to narrow down our choices. Here's what we ended up going with: Passed Hors d'Oeuvres * Carolina-style BBQ pulled pork tacos with creamy coleslaw * Vegetarian empanadas with shiitake mushroom, eggplant, zucchini, peppers, onion, coconut curry * Vietnamese rice paper rolls with ground chicken, scallion, radish sprouts, soy tamarind sauce Stations * Chef-attended sweet potato gnocchi station - duck confit, Brussels sprouts leaves, white balsamic cherry gastrique * Carving station - pepper-crusted beef tenderloin, horseradish cream, spicy mustard, Yukon gold mashed potatoes * Gemelli pasta station, chef attended - wild mushroom, onion, peppers, marinara and Cajun tasso ham, Parmesan cream sauce Desserts * Banana pudding, Chantilly cream, Nilla wafer * French macarons - raspberry cheesecake, PB&J * Homemade praline chocolate truffles * Cardamom panna cotta, fried cinnamon sugar wonton sail In general, my fiancee and I liked the food. Nothing was bad, but some items were better than others. Along with the chefs explaining each course as they came out, Michelle walked us through each item as we tasted them together with her and our wedding planner. Michelle had an iPad to show us pictures of our alternatives. That was really helpful. It was also useful to see the ways in which different foods could be presented. In the end, Michelle and our planner really helped us change and shape a potential menu for our wedding guests, one that my fiancee and I are both happy with. I'll write a review update after our wedding if we decide to go with Bold. They're already a strong contender out of the gate.

    Huge thanks to the entire BOLD Catering & Design teams for making the 10th Anniversary Of EMORY Johns Creek Hospital Spectacular in every way! In 2007, BOLD helped to set the bar high for excellence when the hospital opened with a legendary black tie event! Fast forward 10 years later with a return performance under the stars making heads turn and gaining rave reviews again! The design by Steve Bales was elegant and breathtaking! The BOLD sponsored butler wall was the show stopper making for the photo opportunity of the evening! The guests clamored to have their photos taken in front of it. The butler wall made a lasting first impression and elevated the event to the highest level! Lead by James, the Catering team provided stellar service with attention being paid to every minute detail. Chef Allie's culinary skills resulted in a meal which received guests' highest praise! The petite desserts on market shelves were also a big hit! The evening was (and will be) the talk of Johns Creek - just what we hoped for the 10th Anniversary Gala! X Susan Highsmith Graveline Creative Events Special Event Planner

I just wish I could remember her name. There are some delicious choices on the menu--meat, seafood, & vegetarian. The drinks were all well done and tasty--from the Old Fashions to the lemons drop to the shot of vodka. Our food came in good time, and every dish was prepared just right.

The igloo decor was cute and "wintery" with cozy blankets, a basket of treats and goodies, and a heater. The package included free ice-skating and unlimited games in the rooftop. Our waiter was awesome and very attentive to our needs. However, the experience wasn't comfortable enough for the high price we paid. Even though we had one heater, the igloo was still a bit cold. Also, the heater's cord was short, so we couldn't move much and had to stay right next to it. Maybe adding a second heater and a hot chocolate station in the igloo, along with some music, would make the space feel much cozier and nicer.

    Our company holiday party this year was held at The Peachtree Club, a private club and event space…read morelocated on the 28th floor of the 999 Peachtree building at the corner of 10th and Peachtree in Midtown. This is the same building that houses popular Atlanta restaurant Empire State South on its ground floor. Ever seen the movie The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)? This place reminds me of the scene where Leonardo DiCaprio and Matthew McConaughey had lunch, high above the Manhattan skyline. Video: https://youtu.be/wM6exo00T5I. It's got an old-fashioned, formal, elegant setting; like a nice country club without the golf, tennis, and swimming pool. In other words, it's a city club and it's got some magnificent views of Midtown. There were several beautiful spaces to the club and I believe we had access to them all. The entrance had a coat check and was nicely decorated with wreaths and Christmas nutcrackers. There was a small study in front with an absolutely gorgeous Christmas tree. The main doors led to a bar area with lots of standing and seating room. The bar connected to various dining rooms/spaces (I counted five). Just about every room had terrific views of the city. There was also a covered patio with tables, seating, heat lamps, and illuminated snowflake decor for the holiday season. The patio is the best place to take in the views. Photo: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-peachtree-club-atlanta?select=C8BsutGj3QGmsegeybIrjA. The patio is located on the north side of the building, so the main view faces north up Peachtree Street towards the PwC tower. One criticism I have about the patio is the coverage wasn't very good. Our party took place on a cold, wet Saturday night (6pm to 10pm) and drops of water were still falling onto us from above. Another small critique I have is there were only two heat lamps for the entire patio and one of them wasn't working (it may have run out of gas). A nice touch I liked was the basket of shawls placed by the patio door in case anyone needed a wrap for warmth. Catering was not provided by a third party, but by the club itself. There were four dinner stations set up inside. Two were manned. I liked how the stations were spread out to avoid crowding issues. I believe the guest list was about 120-130. The bar got pretty crowded during cocktail hour, but spacing was more comfortable once dinner was served. Seating was a bit tight at dinner. The tables were white tablecloth with candles and centerpieces. Here were the stations and menu items: Asian Station - Vegetable fried rice - Chicken sate (satay) with peanut dipping sauce - Thai vegetable noodle bowl - Pork pot stickers with dipping sauce - Fried wontons - Edamame with sea salt Rudolph Riviera (staffed by chef/server) - Crispy garlic bread - Penne pasta with chicken in a garlic cream sauce Under the Christmas Tree (staffed by chef/server) - Bacon-wrapped turkey tenderloin over butternut squash-scented risotto - Sage-crusted pork loin over celery-whipped potatoes - Cranberry chutney Dessert Station - Various cake and brownie bites, tarts, cream puffs, and more In general, I thought the food was OK. The pot stickers and penne pasta were my favorite items. The penne pasta was served out of a cheese wheel for presentation purposes. The noodles at the Asian Station looked more like a pasta dish than a Thai dish. Not really authentic. The noodles were prepared with a coconut sauce. The turkey and pork station was manned by a chef from Italian restaurant Campagnolo, which is located just a couple blocks east of the club. He works as a chef for both Campagnolo and The Peachtree Club. Admittedly, I do think the food I've had from local caterers like Affairs to Remember and Bold American Events has been better. There was an open bar with friendly bartenders. After dinner, there were no servers serving coffee nor was there a coffee station. Instead, coffee was served at the bar, which I thought was interesting (and uncommon, in my experience). In general, I thought all of the staff did a fantastic job, from the managers to the coat check lady. We brought in Cobalt Strings (https://www.yelp.com/biz/cobalt-strings-atlanta) to perform live holiday music. We had this same trio perform at our holiday party last year at the Atlanta History Center. They are that good. The Peachtree Club opened in 1989.

So, when I started working for SCAD and learned they were in the process of restoring and preserving the old Mansion Restaurant at Ponce & Piedmont, I was really excited. If you haven't had a chance to see the space since its transformation, please feel free to email me and I'd be happy to set up a free tour. lmoody@scad.edu. Truly the restoration of this historic landmark is a gift to our community. This Queen Anne Victorian house was built in 1883 by the Peters family--one of the founding families of our city. Know Peters street in Castleberry? Yep that's the same folks. They originally owned 400 acres from Briarcliff and Ponce all the way beyond where GA Tech now stands. In fact, the family donated the land that the campus was original built upon. They also donated the land for Morris Brown and the first baseball field for the Atlantans. The home is filled with beautiful detail. This is no cookie cutter McMansion. Every room is filled with unique features. The college will use the space for its Professional Writing program and will bring scholars, authors and journalists to speak and give workshops--many that will be open to the public. Visit the website often to see the free events coming up. In the Spring expect outdoor concerts in the lovely gardens. The home will be available for rentals for corporate meetings and the like.

The spot is huge with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, so you aren't cramped while trying to catch a vibe.

We started with the Yuca Parmesan Truffle Fries--solid crunch and the truffle wasn't aggressive--and the Togarashi Tempura Veggies, which were light and crispy. I went with the 5Church Lamb Burger Sliders for the main; the gorgonzola fondue and red onion marmalade combo was a heavy hitter, though the lemon-dressed arugula kept it grounded. The food was a solid, reliable choice--nothing that'll change your life, but definitely tasty enough to keep you satisfied while the music does its thing.

When she brought my fries, she realized that she never brought the fork, and still didn't bring it. I ordered yucca fries, but she brought regular fries. The mocktails were served in these foggy old cups. Even the customer next to me commented on her own cup and said it looked like someone had drank from it. They add 20% gratuity to ALL bills--I was by myself and it was still added. 5 Church is pretty good, but this place was not at all.
