Delicious food and great service at a reasonable price. We hired Kirk to cater our niece's wedding…read morebrunch - about 40 guests - in our back yard. Kirk brought all of the food along with 2 wonderful servers to set up, serve, and clean up so we got to relax and enjoy the party too. The Citrus-Cured Norwegian Salmon "Lox" with Traditional Garnishes & New York bagels and his Farro (WheatBerry) Salad with Dried Michigan Cherries were my favorites. The food was beautifully presented and so good that the bride & groom and a few guests asked to take some of the leftovers home so the servers packed up to-go packages for them. I would definitely hire Kirk again!!

I hired Kirk to cater my wedding, and the food was amazing. Kirk does not normally do weddings…read morebecause he gears his catering business more toward small get togethers and "foodie" audiences. His largest group is between 60 and 100. I think one of the more popular of his services is coming to people's homes and cooking a gourmet meal for a small group of family and friends. Wedding's tend to me super stressful, and the people planning it can be hyper active, irrational, controlling, etc. There is absolutely no need to be this way with Kirk. My whole philosophy during the planning of the wedding was to let the good professionals do their job while I had a good time. I chose Kirk because I was terrified of serving "bad wedding food". I started searching for caterers online and found a mountain of results. I had no idea how to winnow down to a good, wine friendly caterer. After contemplating the problem for a while, I emailed Catherine Neville, editor and creator of Sauce Magazine. She emailed me back with three or four names. I hit the jackpot! I went with Kirk because of my love of King Louie's restaurant, which is sadly, no longer; he was a chef there a few years back. I also chose him because he was confident, laid back, and capable of providing the most services. He was willing to be a go-between for the tables, chairs, china and what not. He also understands wine--which is what we served our guests, instead of an open bar. Kirk sent me some sample menus, some pricing. I consulted with my father, who was going to find the wine. We okayed a menu and that was the end of it until the wedding. The food was gorgeous and, according to my guests, sooooo good. I was, of course, too wound up to eat. And I knew I would be. It was buffet style. I didn't want to deal with telling my guests where to sit, or having to choose between chicken or beef. So, there was fingerling potatoes, asparagus, crusty breads, chunky salads with goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, little bites of toasts with salmon and some kind of spread, dates with cheese--and much much more. So, with Kirk, his menus tend to use the most obscure name for things--which required constant Google searching while reviewing the sample menus. The only other "tip" I have is if you are working on a wedding, make sure to ask for a separate plate for the bride (for after the wedding), and make sure you get all the leftovers. I think there was some food we paid for, but didn't get to take home. I could be mistaken--but I find it improbable that my guests ate all the petite fours! After the wedding, one of my guests told me that her cousin had hired Kirk to come to her home and make a dinner for her and friends, and that it was so much fun, and so good. I didn't doubt it. I highly recommend working with Kirk for any event. You will not be disappointed, especially if food quality is important to you.

Super shocked Orlando's has so little views on Yelp! Let's get those up!…read more The reason for my visit was that they were hosting a free tasting of select items on their menu. According to Mr. Orlando himself, they (now) offer a free tasting 3 times a year. So if you're planning an event, make sure to add them on your list. This was helpful for my fiancé and I as we have contracted with them for our wedding. Moving on, the location itself is located right off 55 which makes it convenient for traveling. All of the sales representatives were present and assisting with check-in, serving, and connecting with attendees. Vendors were also available (formal wear, travel, photo and DJ, ice cream). The tasting was more than I imagined. Typically when you think of a "tasting" you think of being served a small sample size. Instead, they legit offered a signature appetizer and had a self serving buffet complete with several items from both of their classic and deluxe menus. They also offered two new chef specials and a slice of cake from Wedding Wonderland cake shops. Wonderful experience Orlando's!

Two of us went to their inaugural Thanksgiving buffet this year without knowing much about…read moreOrlando's and we were quite pleased! It's basically a big banquet hall with tables to seat parties as small as ours to families of 12 or more and everything in between. As I said, it was buffet style with generous servings of all the traditional sides plus salad, macaroni and cheese, Brussels sprouts, and a LOT of dessert options (the pecan pie was the stand out winner). There was a carving station with turkey, ham, and roast beef. The staff was incredibly organized and kept the food fresh and the serving dishes full. It never felt too crowded or less than festive. They had a moment where a chef with a large chopping knife chased a turkey (person in an inflatable turkey costume) around the room for entertainment. A family sitting near us even brought their own games to play after they were done eating; they must have known they could stay and hang out due to the timed seatings. We are already considering returning for Mother's Day brunch.

My husband and I used Catering by The Christy to cater our wedding. We were very pleased with the…read moreservice, quality, quantity, and cost of their service. Given the choice to do the event over again I would 100% go with the Christy again. Our event was at the Polish Heritage Center, not at The Christy Banquet Hall, so our experience was with them catering outside of their main venue. They were a pleasure to work with stat to finish, and actually one of the lowest stress parts of our wedding. Food The Christy has a moderate sized menu of standard American and Italian fare. you build your menu within one of three packages: the basic buffet (9.95-12.95 a head), classic buffet (10.95-14.25 a head), or grand buffet (14.25-17.95 a head.) We went with the classic buffet which included 2 main course options, three sides, and a salad. All of our guests raved about the food and left the party satisfied. Service Our agent at the Christy was very easy to work with. she helped us plan and let us customize the catering to fit our event. The waiters at the event itself were polished and professional. We were pleased when the staff on site were able to be flexible with unforeseen changes in the event schedule. The Christy is also Gay-friendly if you are looking to have an LGBT event.

Many of our attendants later told us that they loved the taco bar instead of the traditional wedding fare. They catered our wedding reception held at St. Margaret Mary Alacoque's Parish Center.

Sorry to say, the food was very disappointing. I went to a Birthday Party here and they served…read morechicken salad sandwiches. Very small. 2 inches by 2 inches. The only other other thing on the plate was fruit cocktail. I have never gone to a luncheon at a banquet hall and been served fruit that was not fresh. It definitely seemed as if we were eating a school lunch. The soup was good, but very typical. The only thing that was nice was the venue. Regardless of the price of the event, I would hope that the Julia's staff would insist that whatever they serve was delicious and of good quality. The staff is nice, but not amazing. The lunch at Panera that is half sandwich/half soup and comes with an apple (fresh fruit) is about 7-8$ and presents and tastes significantly better. I would only use this venue again if I was merely renting the space. Outside catering would be a must! Definitely will not recommend, sadly.

Dear Patrick, I'm unable to respond directly to your comment so I'll leave it here…read more We were instructed to put together boxes labeled by table number with decorations and directions/pictures on how we wanted them. We were told the decorations would be put on the tables by your team and the tear down/set up of the room would be taken care of by Russo's staff. That may not be what is on the written contract but it is 100% what my fiance and I were told. Which is why we put together boxes and a binder to be organized and helpful. I have never spoken to you so I'm not sure how you know what was discussed with us and what was not. I stated above the communication prior to our wedding day was horrendous and it was very hard to get questions answered. Maybe if communication had been better any confusion on expectations could have been cleared up. Aside from that, if you had properly read my review you would have comprehended that my complaint was not with the fact that your staff didn't set out the decorations, but with the fact they didn't communicate that they weren't going to until 10 minutes before the reception started. As I stated above my mother showed them the boxes, decorations and binder before the cocktail hour started and the staff member agreed with my mother that they would set it out. If it wasn't in the contract and they weren't planning on doing that then that was the opportunity to let that be known. However, they waited until 10 minutes before and that made us run 40 minutes behind schedule. To address your comment that the outside bar closed and the inside one opened... how were my guests supposed to get to the inside bar while they were at the outdoor cocktail hour? They could not enter because my mother and bridal party were setting up the inside of the building. Therefore my guests were outside with a closed bar while the bartender was at an empty inside bar for 40 minutes.
