    My wife and I just had a wonderful experience using Evntwrks for a backyard "Happily Ever After" party for our daughter who was married during COVID. They did a great job. They managed the event carefully ahead of time and their crew did simply a great job on the day of the event. We got very good feedback from everyone who attended. We plan to recommend them to our friends. Tom & Becky

    I feel compelled to write a review of Danny Buell and his incredible Evntwrks team after the party that they threw for us last weekend. Wow - what a celebration!! From our first meeting with Danny, he and his team perfectly understood the assignment for our anniversary party. Not only that, they went above and beyond anything I could have possibly imagined to create a truly *magical* celebration. The team's responsiveness, enthusiasm, and creativity is unparalleled. They were attentive to every single detail - from the decorative stirring sticks in the signature cocktail to the gorgeous lights, flowers, and handcrafted decorations throughout our house. They even surprised us with several beautiful treats during the party that were perfectly in theme and that took our breath away from thoughtfulness. I feel overwhelmed and humbled by the effort that this crew put into our party. They created an experience that I will hold in my heart for the rest of my life. Thank you, Danny and Evntwrks crew!

    Lauren S. is an amazing wedding coordinator, florist and caterer. My husband and I had the wedding of our lives and it was genuinely one of the best experiences we've ever had. I highly recommend working with Lauren for all events, not just weddings. She helps find ways to cut costs, advocates for you and this poor woman had to chase me around on my wedding night to make me drink more water. Thank you for everything Lauren and EvntWrks!

    Cheese plate!

    I hired Evntwrks on 1/12/2018 for a Make a Wish Foundation private event at our home. The presentation was beautiful and the food was delicious. We had heavy hors d'oeuvres passed around. Danny was very helpful & very pleasant to work with. I was very happy with Evntwrks!

    Oh there is so much to say about Evntwrks! They were by far the easiest and most professional vendor we worked with and we would choose them again a hundred times over. Special shout out to Lauren who was a real MVP through the Covid craziness that came our way while we planned and executed our wedding. Lauren was really on top of things, quick to respond to emails/calls, ready and willing to help As problems came our way and constantly exhibited a positive attitude. We cannot emphasize how relieved and thankful we were for Evntwrks flexibility through the pandemic and their patience with the financials. Their team was extremely buttoned up on the day of and really helped to make the event run smoothly. We received so many compliments on how nicely the tables were set up, how easy and Covid-consious the catering was done and how fabulous the food was! The Mac-N-Cheese was a clear winner, with the chicken coming in second. We had one couple say to us, "this is the first chicken we've had at a wedding that wasn't dried out" and for that their chef should be extremely proud. The appetizer selection was also extremely popular- the fried chicken and waffles was a huge hit with the grilled cheese & tomato soup shots came in as a close second. Seriously, you guys knocked it out of the park! If you are looking for a professional team to help you host your next event, micro-wedding or family gathering, seriously stop looking once you find Evntwrks. They are top notch!!

    Keep in mind Lauren and her team set up two areas, one for our vow renewal and the Rooftop for the reception.

    Came here for lunch after a recommendation from someone. We're not from here, drove here from…read moreSonoma County on a Friday afternoon. It was a little hard to find because the bldg had a sign that says "AU" and not the actual name of the restaurant. We were greeted as soon as we got to the front and were seated right away. The ambiance was nice. The place was clean. We opted to get the hot honey chili prawns for an appetizer and it was pretty good. Hubby got his fried catfish w/ collard greens and yams. I got the fried red snapper w/ the mac n cheese and yams for our main entree. The food came pretty fast and hot. Pretty big servings also which made it ok since they priced each at $31. The fish tasted great, the only problem was they switched our fish. The yams were good and collards were ok. Mac n cheese we didn't really care for. Excellent service and I would say the food was ok. **I ordered the red snapper w/ mac n cheese n yams and my husband ordered catfish w/ collards n yams. I ended up w/ the catfish and he was given the snapper. We were halfway w/ our meal when he said I think u have my catfish. Not saying anything bad about the restaurant, it's just our fish was not with the correct sides and we had it mixed up. ** Both fish were cooked to perfection and tasted great. Just the sides were just ok.

I had the salmon, fried prawns, mac and cheese, and cabbage. Everything we tried was flavorful, fresh, and cooked with care. The standout items were the blackened shrimp and the crab. The butter sauce covering the crab was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The salmon was cooked exactly the way salmon should be--moist, flaky, and tender. Too many restaurants overcook salmon and dry it out in the center, but Chef Smelly's got it right. The fried prawns paired perfectly with their sweet chili sauce, which was a nice change from the usual tartar sauce. The sides held their own. The mac and cheese was creamy with great texture, and while I won't call it the best I've ever had, it was very good. The cabbage was excellent, but the collard greens were the real surprise. They reminded me of my mother's homemade greens, and that's not a compliment I give lightly. If you're from the South, you know how hard it is to find greens that taste like they came from someone's family kitchen. The service was attentive, friendly, and hospitable throughout the meal. More importantly, the food was consistently good from start to finish. Bottom line: Chef Smelly's is worth the visit. Great flavor, quality ingredients, and food that feels like it was made with pride. We'll definitely be back and would gladly recommend it to others.

    Over the weekend, my friends and I went to Mama T's to try her infamous fish sandwich, and I have…read moreto say--it was everything they said it would be! Not only that, the cajun fries tgat come with it are absolute PERFECTION!!! ‍ I think I paid about $18 for the sandwich and fries after tax. Mama T's is a tiny, hole-in-the-wall spot with just enough room to step inside, place your order, grab a drink, and step back outside to wait for your food at the curb. She sells a variety of things, including turkey burgers, wings, and more, but the fish sandwich is actually what brought me there. Mama T was so sweet, and she was in the kitchen working alongside her son, Terrence, who I believe does most of the cooking. The customer service was absolutely top-tier, and I'll definitely be back! One thing I noticed was how many people walked up and were disappointed to find out that the fish sandwiches had already sold out. I think she needs to create a sign to post when the sandwiches are sold out so that people don't waste their time in line only to find out once they get to the register. Nonetheless we got lucky as we were among the last few people to get one! With that, if I had to give you one tip: GO EARLY! I'd recommend getting there at least an hour or so before closing because those fish sandwiches definitely sell out. Overall, great food, great service, and definitely worth the visit!

    I came here yesterday after seeing a tik tok video a few days ago. I ordered the fish sandwhich. It…read morewas fantastic. The portion size was more than enough. It wasn't too greasy and the fish was fried just right. It also came with fries. I recommend calling ahead or ordering online. This is a walk up place and parking is hard to find as it's downtown. I definitely will be visiting this place again soon. This place gets busy during lunch time so come early. The prices are very reasonable as well.
