They do serve meatball subs on Tuesday night but we had the buttermilk fried chicken served over a pile of fava bean succotash. The chicken was battered and fried to perfection and drizzled with just the right amount of honey. The succotash was wonderful. Fava beans made it unique. We had the Little Pond salad with the candies pecans and dried plums, outstanding. Meals are served at communal tables which was fun because we met some new people and enjoyed a good conversation. Highly recommend trying their Meatball Tuesday!

I would love to write a wonderful review about the food at Little Pond, but since I didn't have the…read moreopportunity to use them I can't. Let me back up for a second. I called Tony about a month ago and asked him to cater our annual meeting for the nonprofit I work for. I received his name based on a recommendation from Christi at Pine Valley Market. (Christi is my go to caterer but was booked). I spoke to him and told him that we were looking for a picnic type dinner and he asked me to send an email since he was in the kitchen and not taking notes. I did so and waited to hear back. And waited. I called him today to see if he had received my email and got the response of "yeah, but I don't really check emails". Okay, but you asked me to email you. He then asked what my budget was and when i told him it was approximately $15 per person he balked and said that he doesn't offer lunches for under $17. Then he went on and on about how much party supplies cost, etc. etc. Now, I'm sorry, but this is not the first event I've put on. I know how much a tent is going to cost. I know how much party supplies are. But to have me assume that we were booked and then to learn that you're just not interested is a shoddy way of doing business. I understand if you can't meet my budget, but tell me so; don't lead me on. I'm not scrambling to find a caterer in just over a month's time. Buyer beware is my warning. And just for the record, Pine Valley Market always meets my budget and the food is exceptional.

Had better expectations based off with I heard from other people, but was sadly underwhelmed. Had…read moreit on 2 occasions catered. Food was borderline cafeteria type food, low quality. First time, was not memorable, only thing I can remember from that time was meatloaf and some creamy pasta. Second time, had meatloaf, marinated chicken, mashed potatoes, yellow squash mushy casserole, strawberry feta cheese spinach salad, and peach cobbler. The best thing out of the whole meal from the second time was the mashed potatoes with the gravy from the meatloaf. Couldn't even finish barely half a slice of the meatloaf, since it didn't taste that good. Chicken was dry. The yellow squash casserole was not my preference, too mushy for me. Strawberry feta cheese spinach salad was drenched with a way too sweet dressing. Peach cobbler was okay, made with canned peaches. At least the crust topping tasted somewhat good. I'd rather eat at any chain restaurant over this catering service.

Chef Lori responded to my inquiry quickly, and she asked many questions to help craft the perfect menu for my family. We agreed on apps, a meal and dessert. Meatballs and crab dip were up first and we all enjoyed tremendously. Next was a delicious salad based around arugula, a happening tasty green I enjoy a lot. She combined some great ingredients for a wonderful salad that we all loved. Our main course was shrimp and grits, her personal slant on low country. A great mix of shrimp, sausage and spices served with her wonderful cheese grits and homemade biscuits with a savory butter. When discussing the shrimp and grits, she had several interpretations in her repertoire depending on your personal taste. We completed our indulgence with on point key lime pie and lemon squares with a blueberry sauce. We all loved the meal and our time with our chef. She was personable, professional and friendly and did all the work. If you want a different dining experience, give her a call.

Danielle and the staff at the event professionally & efficiently managed all the behind scenes of the party and served all the guests there. There was a lot of paid parking nearby the cobblestone road leading to the Warehouse on the Water. The entrance area was a steep and broad stair way to the entrance porch area of the venue. The entrance opened up to two large clean spacious high ceiling areas to sit comfortably on couches or tables & chairs. The area was excellent for enjoying conversations & food. The bathrooms were clean & fancy. Overall, our time was pleasant. It was the first encounter I ever had at a retirement party and one of the most upscale parties I ever attended.

From the very beginning, Katie was incredibly communicative, organized, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was how genuinely supportive and invested she was in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. The very first question she asked us was what our priorities were...not anyone else's opinions or just a generic "vision"...and that set the tone for everything that followed in the best way. In the three months leading up to the wedding, her guidance became even more invaluable. She helped us navigate every detail with such calm confidence, always making us feel like we were in the very best hands. From table settings to lighting, DJ recommendations to signage - no question was too small, and no detail was ever overlooked. The week of our wedding brought an unexpected challenge, a nor'easter rolled in and completely changed our plans. We had to move our cocktail hour indoors, and what could have been a stressful scramble turned into a completely seamless transition thanks to Katie. She coordinated with all of our vendors, handled every logistical detail, and made the entire situation feel effortless from our perspective. Because of her, I was able to stay present and actually enjoy the days leading up to our wedding, which is something I'll always be grateful for. On the day itself, Katie was not only incredibly professional and on top of everything, but also so fun, warm, and full of positive energy. Not just me and Pearson, our entire wedding party absolutely adored her. She brought the best vibe to the day and made everyone feel comfortable, taken care of, and ready to celebrate. Honestly, I wish we could do it all over again just so we could spend more time working with Katie (and her really cute dogs!). She is truly exceptional at what she does, and even more importantly, she is a genuinely wonderful person. She made our wedding day feel magical, smooth, and completely stress-free. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
