I have to start by saying I dont give many 5 star reviews.... but this is DEFINITELY deserved! I have had the pleasure of having Genee's (owner and chef) food on many occasions and have always been blown away. She offers an inventive, creative and outside-the-box menu which she will willingly tailor to taste, preference and allergies! I loved her delicious offerings at the Pequot Library book sale this summer (helloooooo blueberry, basil and brie grilled cheese. I could live on that FOREVER) so we reached out to her for our company christmas party this year. She did NOT disappoint! We have a small staff (8 people) and Genee provided enough of our chosen three apps that everyone was able to take a plate home. And did I mention that she makes her own condiments? Oh. My. GOD. Never have I been so excited for homemade blue cheese, homemade pickles etc etc! It also stands to mention that Genee is big on sourcing most all her ingredients from local farms and farmers markets. (ask her about the goat cheese! so divine and made right here in CT!) We will DEFINITELY be using her for future events. Can't wait to plan our next menu! :) read more

Herbaceous Catering is my go to catering company for any party I'm hosting. Genee, the owner and chef extraordinaire, has hosted our company Christmas party the past two years as well as a number of small events in our home. She is simply spectacular; her food is inventive, seasonal, beautifully presented, and most importantly, absolutely delicious. I love her stuffed peppers and her hollandaise sauce is addictive and can be put on just about anything! What I love most about Genee and Herbaceous Catering is her menu ideas, her flexibility, her sparkling personality, and her professional and delightful staff. I can not say enough wonderful things about this company. To put it in perspective, I was invited to a party I had zero interest in attending because of some of the guest list, but when I found out Genee was catering, boy did my entire outlook on the event totally change. I looked forward to eating her food the entire week and it was so worth the wait. If you haven't tried her-do so, you will be thrilled you did and if you've already used her you know exactly what I'm talking about! read more

I can't say enough about Herbaceous!!! Genee's food is UNBELIEVABLE in taste, presentation, quality of ingredients....seriously, its divine. We had Genee come to our home and cook a three course meal for a dinner party of 8 we had over the holidays. Everyone raved about each and every morsel - she presented each course beautifully. After the meal was over and she left for the evening, our kitchen never looked cleaner! My husband and I both started thinking of excuses to have her cook for another party again. I also used Herbaceous for this past Valentines Day. Genee offered a special where you ordered a 3 course meal off of a set menu. She delivered the meal to our house precooked, with heating and plating instructions (pictures included!). We had the most romantic, beautiful meal in the comfort of our own home...having a baby at home, it was a life saver. Everything was SO delicious, easy to reheat and looked so gorgeous with her playing instructions. Can't wait to do something like this again!!! read more

When searching for a caterer for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary, a co-worker highly recommended Herbaceous Catering. From the very first phone call with chef/owner Genee Habansky I felt comfortable and at ease. She guided me through the process of coming up with menu ideas, budget options, and particulars about my event that I hadn't even considered. Her food, staff and service COMPLETELY EXCEEDED my (admittedly high) expectations. Several months now since our party...my parents, friends and family are still raving to me about the delicious food, and "that incredible caterer with the amazing laugh and sense of humor. Really I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Genee and Herbaceous Catering, and will be using her exclusively for any and all future entertaining. read more

Let me tell you about herbaceous catering... First of all, I've known Chef Genee from the beginning of her culinary experience and it's such a pleasure to see her blossom into a top notch, hands on catering company. She recently provided a fantastic selection of food for a family function which included locally grown, farm fresh items. My guests were amazed at her professionalism, knowledge and friendliness! Everyone commented on how they would love to use herbaceous catering for their next event. Be sure to try her homemade prosciutto, cranberry and Brie tartlets, pomegranate chicken wings and all her other awesome homemade offerings! read more

What can I say about Genee's food? Only that it is freshly prepared, using the best ingredients--and mouthwateringly delicious. She's catered several events/holidays for me (and my fussy family), and it's been raves every time. The special Valentine's Day dinner she prepared came with exact instructions on how to reheat and plate the food, making for a very special night for me and my husband. She's a pleasure to work with--I once underordered food, giving her the wrong number of people, and she prepared extra food, and delivered it with more than enough time. I highly recommend her for any event, holiday or occasion! read more

I have to say, I don't get blown away by many companies, nor do I write reviews. I hired Genee Habansky for a private event for my family in Fairfield and she exceeded all of my expectations. The food was utterly amazing!!! Not only did she arrive early, she was the most detail oriented caterer I have ever come into contact with. She was so accommodating with my families needs and to top it off, was so personable and professional simultaneously. I would recommend Herbaceous Catering to anyone! Kudos for a great job! (My 100+ family will be utilizing her expertise for years to come)... read more

Herbaceous has catered several special-occasion events in my home, and the food and service and ease of experience exceeded expectations! Not only was the food fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, but the owner made everything so easy and pleasant for me. She is a dear to work with: quick to understand what is needed and extremely skilled at making it happen in a scrumptious way. My guests oohed and ahhed at each course and gobbled up everything! I very highly recommend Herbaceous Catering Company! read more

I would give Genee Habansky and Herbaceous Catering a hundred stars but Yelp limits me to five. Genee makes every bite an experience. Her combinations are original, creative, beautiful and delicious. She loves food and people and both are obvious when you talk to her. All her ingredients are carefully researched and selected. All her meals are so well thought out. Ask her about her homemade cheeses and jams. You will not find food like this on any store shelf or restaurant. Herbaceous Catering is the best. read more
