So as I was planning my law school graduation party I came to the decision that I would want a…read morecaterer.... now, given that my family has always been known to throw the most amazing parties and always cooked the food ourselves, I was a little nervous on choosing a caterer. As per usual, I yelped. A came across Silver Sac. When looking at the review, there was only 1. So I was a little apprehensive, but I looked at the website and was BLOWN away by what they offered. Immediately, my mother and myself got into contact with Silver Sac, specifically Karin, and thus began the party planning!!!
I had a guest list of 80.... and I wanted something a little different... just a cocktail party. And that was what was explained to Karin, and just like that, a menu was emailed and we were sold!!!! Here's the best part.... Silver Sac worked with us and our budget, and were ALWAYS available to talk. I mean, I sent probably 1000 emails back and forth to Karin, and she always responded. My theme was black and white stripes, and yellow.... which Silver Sac provided yellow flowers on each food tray. There were to be 4 servers and a bartender.
On the day of my party, the whole team arrived approximately 2 hours before the party started. They set up EVERYTHING!!! We provided the booze and desserts. They provided, everything else. My favorite part, was that there was a signature drink that I created called the Verdict, an orange, basil mojito! It was great. The team consisted of a chef, 4 servers and a bartender. Dean, basically the ring leader, was sooooo attentive. I can't even explain how awesome he was, always making sure I got all the appetizers and timing. Fantastic!!
Let's get down to business though.... the food. Here is what I had:
Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Colored Tortillas
Sauteed Artichokes Bottoms with Herb Beurre Blanc
Roasted Vegetable Napoleons with Pesto Drizzle
Seared Ahi Tuna Skewers with Wasabi Aioli, Black & White Sesame Seeds
Smoked Salmon on Gauphrette Chip, Lemon Crème Fraiche and Dill
Grilled Baby "Lollipop" Lamb Chops with Fresh Mint Sauce
Tiny, Petit Filet Mignon on Croustade , Gorgonzola Sauce and Herb Garnish
Open-Face, Bite-Size Cheeseburgers with Crispy Shallot Rings and Ketchup
Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes with Basil Remoulade
Maine Lobster in Savory Waffle Cones with Fresh Citrus and Avocado
Shrimp Scampi-Style
Madras Curry Chicken Kebobs with Cucumber-Mint Raita
Enough food for EVERYONE!!!!! I tried every single thing, except for the artichoke bottoms.... unfortunately being the guest of honor prevents you from getting to everything. But, at one point in the party, I asked Dean if I could get a cheeseburger because I hadn't gotten one... and Dean, being as awesome as he is, provided me with an individual plate of 4 lamb chops, and 4 mini cheeseburgers. I can't even tell you what was my favorite... but everyone was raving about the food. So fresh, so hot, so perfect!!
Hands down the best catering service. I would recommend them to anyone who wants professional service.
