The crab cakes were so delicious along with the sauce. It had barely any filler with large lumps of crabmeat. This was my favorite. The pork chops were perfectly cooked and were so tasty and tender! That was a favorite for a couple. The salad was so yummy with a lot of great flavors that came together beautifully. Our salmon was the entree which had a beautiful glaze and a nice crisp on the edges. Our apple crisp dessert was a perfect ending to our delectable meal. Honestly, it was perfect and nothing I would change. She was also such a pleasure and cleaned up EVERYTHING! You can't go wrong with her! I have had other private chefs and she has been the best so far!

I cannot say enough positive things about the St. Germain team! Carrie was attentive, patient, and…read moreso helpful throughout the planning process. She responded to my questions quickly and was always willing to adjust our invoices or provide recommendations. They are also the most affordable company I've found in the DC area. On site, the catering team went above and beyond to ensure our events went seamlessly. I have never had guests compliment the staff and the menu as much as they did with St. Germain! As the event coordinator, I appreciated that Ceecho, Donal, and Johnny checked in with me throughout the event, quickly adjusted to the schedule changes, and were efficient and helpful throughout the set up and tear down process. I highly recommend Saint Germain for our next catered function in DC! We will be a repeat customer for sure!

Their menu is expansive and can accommodate all types of dietary restrictions--we had dairy free, vegan, pollotarian, and gluten free folks, and they all enjoyed the food. Set up and tear down were efficient, and the staff was so friendly, polite, and professional! And the food! I over ordered, so the whole library staff got to eat, too. Everyone raved about the buffets (we did a "cookout" style, a "fajita bar" style, and we had breakfast for three days). Everything was cooked well and seasoned well! The fresh fruit was delicious! Can I recommend them any more than I have? If I'm ever in the DC/DMV area again for an event, I will definitely give them a call.

A weekend or so back, I attended the Purcellville Music & Arts Festival, which was held in the…read moreFireman's Field park, if memory serves correct. At that time, only parking was at Emerick Elementary School, but there's also closer parking at the community center lot. I actually opted to park in a residential neighborhood, as the street was closer to the event. Well, good thing is dogs are allowed. And I remember it was a "rain or shine" event, which was good, seeing as how it certainly was drizzling at the time -- and likely had rained well before then. A lot of food trucks at the event, in the Fireman's Field area. I beheld a Fords Fish Shack truck, one for a pizza I'd never heard of, and some kind of southern or soul food. No idea of anything, and kinda glad I saw the food truck for the "What the Heck BBQ" at last. This was my first time ordering something here, so at the food truck I just asked for popular choices, and went to knock 'em both out. Brisket and Pulled Pork topped the list, so I got a 2-meats plate with them both, and with flavored Mac and Cheese and Texas Baked BBQ Beans on the side. Packed three small cups of BBQ sauce, one regular and the others of the spicy variant. Ate out at one of the lone picnic tables near the entrance to the park. It was a nice afternoon and the rain had stopped. The brisket was good and so was the pulled pork. I liked the sides more than the main dish, for some reason. Mac and cheese was heavenly but prob had a lot of calories packed in. BBQ beans were spot on, and complimented the meat with their own BBQ sauces. All in all, a close home run and well done for what was essentially a to-go order -- yeah, planning was not outstanding. All in all, great food truck selling barbecue meat and foods. Great Mac 'n cheese by the way. Who knows, hopefully one day I'll swing by the store in Chantilly at least once.

The set-up staff was polite and efficient. Everyone enjoyed the food. I definitely recommend this caterer.

About my preferences, after I said our budget, etc. it was so strange. It's fine to have a bubbly personality but this was off putting. Honestly one of the most unprofessional, ill informed customer client interactions. I felt like there were a lot of things not aligning for what I'd expect a professional caterer to know. She didn't even send a quote after our phone call. So while we wouldn't have gone with Zesty Gourmet anyway, the business doesn't seem to care much for clients anyway. I'm not going to remind a company that I want to pay thousands of dollars to them. Honestly just an entirely confusing, strange, and off putting experience end-to-end.

When we were deciding on a caterer for our daughter's wedding on Oct. 7, 2023, in Purcellville, all of us were excited about having Ford's cater the big event. We were so happy we did! The food was delicious; everything from the hors d'oeuvres (deviled eggs, mini crabcakes, lobster rolls, etc.) to the Ceaser salad, to the main courses (filet mignon and cod). Ford's also handled a full, premium bar, with excellent choices of wines and beers and hard alcohol. Ana and Tony are a pleasure to work with. We knew that everything would be executed perfectly. Our guests raved about the food! We continue to be big fans of Ford's restaurants and can't wait to go back. I recommend them highly as a caterer.
