Alison's menu variety is great. Her crew was really friendly and we could tell they enjoy what they do. They put the leftover away in the refrigerator and left the house spotless. One less thing to worry about the Christmas season for us!

TLDR; Alison is absolutely amazing, accommodating, communicates well and most importantly extremely…read moretalented in her work. We booked Alison for a bachelor party dinner for 9. I scheduled a phone call with her about 2-3 weeks prior to the event where she gave me a thorough breakdown of the menu while giving me suggestions for what would go well with our expectations. The day of the event, her execution was absolutely perfect from showing up prepared, setting the table, presentation, and the food was absolutely delicious, all 9 of us cleaned our plates. Her personality and communication is just as perfect as her dishes. Thanks for such a great experience.

We got a gift certificate in January and have ordered a couple times. The food is good, not…read morespectacular; the portions are smaller than I expected (still enough for the number of people stated; I'm just used to places whose idea of a "serving" is my idea of two servings or more). Things I didn't like: Cost relative to serving size. I think restaurants (if you bring the leftovers home for another meal) are cheaper, in the same range of quality (this is good food, restaurant quality good, but it's nothing so stand-out that I would class it as spectacular). Minimum order for delivery - that's a lot of food to commit to, in order to find out if you like it (but walking in and buying on-site would get around that - note that "on-site" is the Chef's Pantry in Sellwood, not this address). Selection - you can only order from one menu per week and coupled with the minimum order, you'd jolly well better be interested in at least half and preferably 3/4 of the menu. I seldom am. Things I do like: delivery right to my house, which they do very well at scheduling and handling. Well-packaged food with clear directions for preparing and serving. Side dishes (not as many options as I'd like, but some of them are excellent). The desserts. The handling of allergies and sensitivities (I asked, because I am, and he was able to tell me everything that might be a problem for me and in what degree - and offered substitutions and alterations to the recipes if I put it in the comments - not all recipes can be altered but he told me which could). The taste, while not stand-out, is perfectly good; I didn't stare in shock and then bliss out, but I was happy to eat it. And the service and communication were easy, friendly, and pleasant.
