So everyone just mingled while they were putting together the finishing touches. The food was absolutely spectacular. The presentation was phenomenal. I was surprised to read in the last review about the poor attitude. I had just the opposite. My 12yo son loves to cook and while he was helping they even gave him a ZiL Catering badge so he could be "official". So yes, they were late and still setting up when guests arrived. But the food was FABULOUS and everyone had an absolute blast. And that is what matters most to me!

Based on that encounter I hired the company to cater appetizers for a card party. I was disappointed to say the least. They arrived late and was unprepared. They were still setting up after guest had started to arrive. Food was served cold, no eating utensils, not enough garbage bags and bad attitude. I guess we can't all be on all the time?!?!

We picked up 6 items: blackened chicken, brisket sliders, avocado salsa, asparagus with feta dip, tortilla chips, and the black eyes peas salad. All were absolutely fantastic.

Dogwood Catering earns five stars with ease. They exercise their craft with the kind of confidence…read morethat only comes from true mastery. There is no question this is what it looks like when you're working with professionals who know exactly what they're doing. Service is impeccable, gracious, attentive, and quietly efficient. They will elevate your entire event without ever drawing attention to the mechanics behind the scenes. Chef's culinary work is exceptional. Every dish feels crafted rather than produced, showcasing a balance of Southern comfort and contemporary polish that delights even the most discerning guests. The mini-crab cakes, for instance, are an unforgettable standout. Get the crab cakes. You will thank me. One of Dogwood's greatest strengths is their versatility. They arrive prepared for nearly any contingency. Their planning is meticulous, and their adaptability is remarkable. Chef deserves special recognition, not only for the excellence of the food but for the spirit behind it. They are clearly driven by more than the desire to create delicious dishes. There is a genuine commitment to service, to hospitality, to the idea that food shapes memory and joy. This ethos permeates everything Dogwood does. They are there to serve in the purest sense. It's clear Dogwood is there to make sure you go home happy, with an event you will fondly remember.

From start to finish, the team--led by Evan--was exceptional. Their preparation, presentation, food quality, and cleanup were all top-tier.

Ibiza Bites is my new #1 favorite street food vendor - I obviously fell in love b/c I ate there…read moretwice this past week (Street Food Mondays at Woodruff Arts Center, and Street Food Thursdays at P'tree and 12th) ... follow them on Twitter @ibizabites to see where they will be next. I think they were somewhere in Atlanta almost every day this week! They describe their food as South American, Latin American, and Deep South. Like David K, I call it "delicious." IBIZA SIGNATURE BITE - $6.50 I ran into David K at both street food events, and he told me he loved the signature bite -- so that's what I got during my first visit. Slow-cooked Latin spiced brisket on a generous bed of stone-ground cheddar grits, and then a decorative plantain ribbon for presentation :) Everything was yummy, esp. the meat - I could've easily eaten a 2nd serving :) DARN CHURRASCO - $7 3 of my co-workers had gotten this, and they all LOVED it! I loved it too, esp. the mixed veggies. Grilled skirt steak w/ chimichurri sauce (meat is chewy as with all skirt steak), mango coconut rice, and served w/ roasted corn, diced zucchini, oyster mushrooms, and a nice plump maduro :) Beautiful presentation for "street food." PECAN-FRIED CHICKEN & WAFFLES - $6 I got this for my 2nd visit, and it was a great combination of sweet-n-salty. Fried chicken was boneless dark meat, and drizzled w/ maple syrup, peaches, and dijon mustard. Delicious too but for me, probably a "one-time only" experience ... mostly b/c "fried" food is something I should say away from, haha :) I'd probably get the churrasco or signature bite next time. CRISPY FRIED GREEN TOMATOES - $3.50 What makes these fried green tomatoes extra special is the surprise layer of Georgia Thomasville goat cheese spiked w/ chipotle aioli included too. Definitely worth a try, esp. if you're a fan of fried green tomatoes (or goat cheese). HAND-CUT SWEET POTATO FRIES - $3 I love that all their sides have a creative twist - their sweet potato fries are "dusted w/ fire-roasted marshmallows". We were fortunate to get a complimentary serving - thank you! Honestly I couldn't tell if the marshmallows were fire-roasted but I appreciated they were different :) PIE FRIES - $2.50 I was intrigued by the description ... I never had pie fries before. It's basically pie crust shaped like sticks, and they came w/ 2 dipping sauces: passionfruit, and key lime. Definitely a sharing dessert b/c it comes w/ several sticks and 1-2 was enough for me. It was good but I wouldn't order it again ... I would order again their bread pudding though! APPLE BREAD PUDDING - $3 Huge generous piece of bread pudding that was to die for. Definitely made for sharing. Drizzled w/ caramel sauce and white chocolate chips. Yum. Overall 5 stars for excellent food - they really raised the bar for street food. I look forward to eating their food on a weekly basis :)

Ibiza Bites is the burnt orange food truck with the giant bird graphic on the side. I ran into…read morethis truck at the Atlanta Food Truck Park on Howell Mill Rd. The truck was started by a couple, who named it after the Mediterranean nightlife-island of Ibiza, located off the east coast of Spain. The food served at Ibiza bites is a mixture of Latin American and Southern using local and seasonal ingredients. This truck was, by far, the most popular truck at the food truck park. It had the longest line and there never seemed a moment where there was no crowd huddled around it, either customers in line or waiting for their orders. The truck sold out early of its popular Lobster Mac & Cheese and El Equador Peruvian-Style Ceviche, two of the more expensive items. "Main Bites" left for the day included coconut fried chicken atop mango basil slaw, skirt steak with chimichurri (garlic and parsley) sauce and succotash, Venezuelan slow-roasted brisket with cheddar grits, and Georgia peach Caprese salad. These items ran from $7.00 to $8.50 each. Three sides ("Feel Good Bites") consisted of crispy fried green tomatoes, lemon Parmesan waffle fries, and mango coconut rice. The mango coconut rice is served with several of the mains including the chicken, steak, and brisket. These sides, along with the strawberry shortcake dessert, were between $3-4 each. Special for the day was Rafa's Bourbon Burger, which contained Angus beef, blue cheese, arugula, fried green tomato, pickle, bourbon BBQ sauce, and waffle fries for $11. Beverages ($2) included lemonade and sweet tea out of self-serve coolers next to the truck. Probably the most popular bite of the night were the fried green tomatoes. They were stuffed with goat cheese from Thomasville, GA and topped with spicy chipotle aioli. These were delicious. The batter was light, had a fine consistency, and was indeed crispy. Goat cheese was stuffed inside the batter, next to the tomato slices and a generous portions of rich aioli topped everything off. Three tomatoes come with each order. The thing I like best about Ibiza Bites are the selection and quality of ingredients used. It's gourmet, farm-to-table-type food, served out of a truck. If you don't mind the long lines, then it's definitely worth a visit.
