The food and drinks are always the talk of the town, er, the event whenever Ravishing Radish Catering has catered. The variety of food is always solid, as there's enough for people to choose from, no matter their dietary restrictions. At one event, they served different flatbreads, fresh fruit, artisan cheeses, nuts, etc. It's finder food, which is easy to eat, especially when attending an event and walking around to mingle. Plus, the staff is constantly refilling plates, so there's never an empty one. I especially love too that for the events, they make a cocktail, themed to the event where proceeds go to the animal fund we're supporting at the event! Amazing. I would recommend Ravishing Radish Catering for your event, as they say, the food is what makes the party. The selection of fresh foods, themed cocktails, and friendly catering staff will make for a great event.

When I walked in every host was friendly and greeted me warmly. The space they chose to host their tasting was large and spacious, minimally yet tastefully decorated. The staff were absolutely impressive. They were kind yet subtle. You barely noticed them shifting in and out to clear dishes or serve additional food. I was also impressed with just how organized and attention to detail they were. Barely any plates were left behind from the event even though people were randomly leaving them in awkward places. As far as the office staff is concerned they were just as exceptional. I was truly impressed with their work and they color coded our names to match who we had been corresponding with, which I just thought was beyond brilliant. I've had the pleasure to work with Annalee, and she took time to answer questions even in a room full of other guest. She really made me feel 1:1 with her. LETS TALK FOOD!!! I know that's what you're here for!!! As you saw from the photos the buffet was beautiful displayed and the style they chose was perfect for doing a double sided buffet to get everyone through quickly. The hors d'oeuvres- I reallllllly loved the apricot & prosciutto canapé! I wanted to eat (5) of them!!! They kept going quickly as well! Tad small in size, it's truly a bite size taste. As far as the salmon fouetté.... not my thing. It had a strong salmon flavor. I did however enjoy the corn cake! Now that I was truly impressed with! It was just as corn cake should be! The salad- Not over dresses, but this particular salad was a touch sweet. However that is the nature of the style salad and I absolutely it. The lemon Orzo- personally I was not a fan of this. The taste was fine and the pasta seemed to be cooked well. However I don't always care for lemon, which could just be my personal preference. The mediterranean Mezzé - very traditional. Presented absolutely beautifully. Everything was very yummy from what I got to try. The Local Seasonal Vegetable- delightful! For winter it can always be hard to get local vegetables and have a combo that works. But these were done very nicely. It was a combination of beets, carrots,& red peppers. All of which were cooked nicely. The carrots to me were crunchier then I was expecting, yet I enjoyed the contracts. The Mediterranean Inspired Chicken- this was intriguing to say the least. The first time I tried it I didn't know if I liked it or not. The chicken however was nicely done. When I went to try it again I did enjoy it, so maybe it was because I was trying so many different things? Again, the second time I tried it, the chicken was done very well. Not bad for buffet style! Seriously! It wasn't done well, not chewy or inedible. This was a big thing for me as I HATE buffet chicken usually due to how dry it can be. This was not that! The mashed potatoes- YUM YUM YUM!!!!!! I said if these arnt good then we can't go with them because I NEED mashed potatoes at my wedding..... damn they were good. They also went the fasted. I couldn't ever get a good shot of them! So in the spirt to showing you how good they are, the photo speaks for itself. Now For my biggest dish and the whole reason I went (plus the mash) The Braised Oregon Country Short Ribs in a Malbec reduction.......... Wow Wow WOW!!! This was so delicious. I'm drooling as I write this part. The meat was tender and falling apart. The sauce was reduced just right and there was enough but not to much. It covered a lot of the meat. This really set my decision in stone. It was very very good. I wanted a dish at my wedding that people wouldn't forget and I don't this they will forget this I'm the best way possible! I'm originally from Pennsylvania and we are a meat and potatoes type of wedding (with very dry chicken and way to many homemade cookies) When my guest come, I want them to be impressed with the food they flew 3,000 miles to eat. I think this will hit the mark!!! Excited to proceed with the process and hopefully make these Ravishing Radish our catering company!

Beatrice came to our house last Thursday to prepare dinner for us. We chose the tapas selection…read more We have the space and wanted to watch her cook, possibly picking up some tips, so she prepared everything right there on the spot, no prep work before hand. We drank Champagne and watched her work, French music playing in the background. She is very personable and fun to be around. She is VERY French, only having been in the US for about 4 years. She uses fresh, organic, locally sourced ingredients. The food was simple and elegant without being pretentious. She is very accommodating to food sensitivities and desires. I am a vegetarian, so she didn't include meat in any of the dishes, since ours was a small intimate party. There were many options to choose from. We had; Veggie's veloute (Crème de carotte au gingembre et fromage de chèvre fouetté [Ginger and carrot veloute] - Crème de choux fleur au cumin et fromage de chèvre [cauliflower with cumin and goat cheese]; bruschetta a l'huile d'olive et à l'ail [Garlic bruschetta]; Salade de tomates cerises aux herbes, basilic et vinaigrette à la mangue [Tomato salad with herbs, basil and mango vinegar]; Filament de courgettes grillées au parmesan et a l'huile de truffe [grilled parmesan Zuchinis with Truffle oil]; and Perail fondant sur zeste de vinaigre balsamic [Perail Cheese with a zest of balsamic vinegar]. The presentation was lovely, complete with garnishes and the flavors were great. The meal concluded with a chocolate truffle torte. Beatrice used the items in my kitchen to prepare the meal, but can bring her own if that is what you prefer. She makes your kitchen, her kitchen. She cleans as she goes so there is never an out of control mess in the kitchen and cleans up like she was never there in the first place. She has many ways of handling the "experience". She can come completely prepped and cook at your place or it can even be a cooking class where the prep is interactive, totally your choice. She can choose or recommend wine for you. The options are unlimited. She will work with you to come up with the perfect plan for your event. I highly recommend Beatrice. It was a fun, interesting and very French evening.

I thought a custom cake would be similar to what I've experienced at Pomegranate. Alas, no. Thus begins my tale of ordering a cake for a special occasion--The Ol' Mangaretta's birthday. Now, Mang loves vanilla cake with vanilla icing. Yes. Plain ol' vanilla done right is amazing. I wrote to LDC and asked if they could make an all-butter, vanilla cake for me, seeing that the people I'd be celebrating with have allergies and butter is the safest oil. They assured me that it would be no problem. I went to pick up the cake, and was surprised that the process was disorganized. Okay, well, I'll just take my cake. After a long wait, I got said cake. I was so excited when I got it home--it was beautiful! They took great care in decorating it. We cut it, and then began the disappointment. The cake tasted burnt, though it only was a deep brown. It was overdone, for sure. If I'd baked it, I would have trimmed off the top, bottom, and sides. The buttercream was decent, but the burnt flavor overwhelmed everything else. So, sorry, my dear Pomegranate peeps, but one star for your connection to Pomegranate, beautiful decorating, and decent buttercream, and minus four stars for disorganized pick-up and burnt, pricey cake that ended up down the drain.

She did a great job setting up and checking in with me before leaving. She very patiently explained all the food items etc. even the staff at the venue complimented her professionalism. Now let's talk about food !!!! We ordered a variety of items and everything was so fresh and tasty. Spring rolls, they had sweet sauce inside the rolls which kept it moist and yummy. Salmon bite were cooked perfectly and perfect for our cocktail style event. Bruschetta was so yummy, the tomatoes were not soggy at all. Chicken skewers were done well and meat balls were a hit. Pulled porked remained warm throughout the event and complimented with slider buns. Everything. Was prepared with good quality ingredients and presentation was great. This company did not disappoint and I can't wait to use them again.

We had our annual event on October 8th at the Edmonds Waterfront Center with Shooby Doo catering as…read morethe food vendor. The Waterfront Center has them as an exclusive contract so we had no choice but to use this caterer. We signed up with them back in 2020 believing that we would have an in-person event in 2021 but the Delta virus made us have to do a virtual event. Shooby-doo refused to refund our significant down-payment, so we were stuck with them for a future opportunity. Which we utilized them, as I said, on October 8th 2022. The tasting that we did those years ago was absolutely wonderful. The food was quite delicious. And that team worked with us to make sure that we would have a really good selection of food items to meet all pallets, allergies, and so forth. Thus, the food is quite expensive. The major issue that we had with this company is that we are a non-profit organization and have to abide by state guidelines in regard to serving alcohol. It was almost impossible to work with Scooby-Doo on this issue because they had really bad information that they kept telling us was accurate. It was not good. It took weeks on end to finally get them to deal with the state directly and understand that we were correct and we would not do anything that would potentially jeopardize our nonprofit status. In the end it was resolved well but the frustration that we were put through is still something that has a scab on the wound. One expects for someone who is providing a service that particularly has to meet state guidelines would know what they are doing and what they are talking about. And not asking us to work in a gray area. And that's what we were told over and over again. "Just work in the gray area", but like I said it was finally resolved. One other minor thing that was aggravating but we dealt with quickly was them wanting us to get more alcohol than we needed. We got what we knew we needed and still had a few bottles left over. And the only other minor aggravation was they didn't know their full contract the evening of when everything was said and done. They thought we were supposed to be out of the building at 10:00 p.m. but we were actually scheduled to be out by midnight. Again it got resolved but it was something else to add to a more stressful moment in time. Now on to the good stuff: The night of the event was extraordinary. Their employees had everything set up in advance as it was supposed to be and the venue looked amazing. They were so friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. They literally catered to our every need asking questions along the way to make sure that we were satisfied before our guests even arrived. The staff members were amazing. The food was out of the ballpark extraordinary. People absolutely loved the food. We had a double-sided buffet in order to make things would go smooth and quickly. I'm glad we opted for that rather than having them serve the dishes. It worked well. I'm absolutely sure that we would never use Shooby Doo again for our agency events, because of the massive issues we had with them in the beginning. However, I do think they would be good for things that are not related to being a non-profit: Like weddings, birthdays, small corporation celebrations, and such. If you're considering Shooby Doo to cater your nonprofit organization, be careful, be warned, and make sure you check everything, especially the legality around alcohol service. Also, know and monitor the contract so that you know exactly what's in it. While the service was excellent the night of, and the food was extraordinary, the price tag on this event was far more than we anticipated. We recognize that food costs are up and inflation is a nightmare but this is a very expensive catering service. Scooby-Doo gets a five star on the food quality and the evening of service. They get a one star on the knowledge on working with nonprofits, or at least with our non-profit. They get a negative 5 for not allowing us to get our down-payment back when the Delta virus came and shut everything down for everyone. I feel they should have offered it back with perhaps a small penalty but they did not so we were forced to have to use them a couple years later. I thought that was absolutely ridiculous. I told them that I would give an honest review. And this review is that.

We recently hosted an event at the Waterfront Center in Edmonds, an exquisite venue. Unfortunately,…read moreour experience with Shooby Doo catering left much to be desired. Despite hearing positive feedback about them, we were disappointed with both the service and the pricing. While the food itself was satisfactory, the service fell short of our expectations. The staff, particularly the head staff member, displayed below-average professionalism and a snarky attitude. Additionally, the setup did not align with what was agreed upon and promised beforehand. Despite planning for 90 guests, the seating arrangements only accommodated 64, causing inconvenience and dissatisfaction among attendees. During the event, the catering staff were conspicuously absent, leaving us to pick up the slack and handle tasks that should have been their responsibility. Adding to our frustration was the unexpected 23% additional fee, which the catering company failed to justify adequately. When questioned about this fee, we were met with vague explanations about covering costs, which left us feeling misled because they also leave room for minimum of 16% tip that must be paid BEFORE experiencing their service. You do the math. Overall, while the venue itself was stunning, the experience with Shooby Doo catering staff left a lot to be desired. The combination of subpar service, unexplained fees, and high pricing makes it difficult to recommend their services to others. You still have to use them if you have an event at the Waterfront. Don't get the chocolate cookies, or the deviled eggs on toast. If you go for the fruit plate, this cost us $1,710 plus tax. ($19 a person). The empanadas were yummy, the beef sliders were finished, and people complimented the salmon in puff pastry.
