I'm petite, but my appetite is not. My portions served were so much smaller that a couple of folks at the same table commented on the obvious discrepancy. Kaspars may not discriminate but their servers sure do. When I complained to them directly, there was no apology, just condescending attitude that I must be mistaken. Wow. Leave this place to for the old folks & support the endeavors of the next generation. read more

Dinner and service was delicious for our event! The people were very friendly and helpful, and our bartender was loved by all! Our party organizer was easy to work with and accommodating for our menu. A great resource to help make any party special. Thank you Kaspers! We highly recommend! read more

I struggle to find words glowing enough to describe Kaspars catering! I didn't hire them, yet my friend brought their incredible food to our party and everyone was over-the-top impressed. We wanted our event to shine with 'class', and Kaspars came thru with beautiful presentation on upscale platters, real serving utensils, napkins, etc. Oh yes, and delicious food! The charcuterie was outstanding, the fruit platter was fresh and beautiful, the orzo salad rocked, and their salad dressing was Amazing. The lemon bars & brownies made me borderline angry with how delicious they were & how many I HAD to eat I can't speak to the 'hiring process', yet my friend said Kaspars pricing was reasonable and she seemed very satisfied with the ordering & other logistics. Give them a try read more

Kaspars did a phenomenal job catering my wedding at Sunset Bay Lodge. They easily accommodated vegan dishes for some of the options. The food was beautiful and tasted amazing!!! We are still getting compliments from friends and family. We also found them easy to work with and transparent about costs. Would highly reccomend! read more

I had catering from this company at a three-day event and the food is to DIE for. I work in the film industry and have tried all sort of catering, good and bad. This is the best catering I've ever had - I felt like I was eating at an upscale restaurant. All the meat (including salmon, steak, chicken, and lamb) was perfectly cooked, the sides were perfect, and I loved the variety of vegetables and salad. And the staff was lovely - one of them packed up some leftover salmon in a box for me, which was wonderful. read more

Last week I noticed they had a sign up that advertised "heat-at-home dinners", so I found their site and decided to give it a try. Ordering on the site was slightly clunky, but not too bad and the food was great. I'd highly recommend for a date-night splurge while a fancy dinner out is still not an option. The 3-course meals were generously portioned and the wine flight pairing was perfect. All of the food was expertly prepared and a cut above your average carryout or homemade meal (unless you spend 4 hours on it). The appetizers were delicious and well-packed, the salads were fresh, and the mains were generous and perfectly seasoned. All dinner guests were very pleased. Also, their food came with detailed heating and plating instructions that made it very easy to prepare. We also ordered some cocktails, which came as separate components so things would stay fresh until we were ready to put them together, so the blackberry french 75's came out like this (see pic) and not just like fruit punch. This is food to light some candles, break out the fancy china, and enjoy some very tasty food. read more

We had Kaspars cater an event for my sons graduation at our home. We had about 40 people and worked with Briana and Shannon. They were both very easy to work with and Shannon even came to our home to do a pre-visit, giving me great comfort for our event. Day of, we had staff that worked very hard to ensure our guests were taken cared of. They served appetizers, cleared plates, and cleaned up everything. The chefs were amazing and the food delicious, again they left my kitchen spotless. We served their holiday buffet appetizers with salmon, prime rib, and paella stations. It was a lot of food with leftovers. They even cut and serve two cakes that I bought on my own. We provided our own drinks and they even surprised me with beautiful ice buckets and serving ware. I also rented all of our dinnerware through them, which made things very convenient. They brought cocktail tables with linen and set everything up for me. Previously I was going to order this from Pedersens but it was less expensive to have them bring it. We've hired caterers before but Kaspars exceeds the rest. We will look forward to using them for our future events. Cost wise, they were very reasonable for service you receive. Most of all the food is delicious and they truly take the work of preparing and cleaning for you, leaving you to enjoy the party. Thank you to our team that help to make our party a success. read more

From the get go, I was very impressed by Kaspar. I had my caterer cancel last minute and called the Kaspar team over a weekend. While the sales staff was not working, the lady who answered the phone was super understanding of the situation and followed up with me with the assurance that they would be able to accommodate my request and the sales team reached out to me right away on Monday to get the planning started. Everyone was raving about both the taste and presentation of the food items. The food tasted healthy and fresh and made the baby shower even more enjoyable. Guests made it a point to specifically ask for the name of our caterer. Briana worked with us to craft a menu that was specific to our needs and it did not disappoint. While we did a pick up for the event, I was impressed by the packaging and serving set up. The only thing I'd ask is to add specific instructions for pick up over the weekend in an email because that wasn't very obvious when we got there. But overall, THANK YOU for making our event such a success. read more

We hired Kaspars to cater our small wedding (~30 people) and they were wonderful! All the staff at the event were so friendly and helpful, it made a hectic day perfectly pleasant. We had a range of dietary requirements, and even added a guest with a severe peanut allergy fairly late in the game (after doing a tasting and deciding the menu), and they handled it like the pros they are. Our guest was happy to be able to eat, and especially excited about the delicious chicken satay appetizer, which you'd never guess was peanut-free. The buffet was great--my family is very food-focused, and even they were impressed. Admittedly I think the food probably merits 4 out of 5 stars relative to Seattle restaurant food generally, but that's a high bar. It's probably about as good as you can get with buffet fare, and it was perfect for the occasion. I loved the fudgy vegan brownie, and several guests seemed pleasantly surprised by it as well. We didn't really shop around for a caterer because Kaspars was recommended by our venue (the Center for Wooden Boats), and now I can see why. They did a great job and I'm so glad we got to work with them! read more

Kaspar's Easter meal was another one of his extraordinary, affordable take-away offerings. It consisted of an enormous amount of food that included 9 different food items: 2 breakfast snacks, appetizer, beautiful Challah with honey butter, Country Ham with apple cider glaze, scalloped potatoes with 2 salads, and dessert. The meal was superbly packaged requiring little preparation with clear instructions. Only 3 of the food items needed a quick reheat, everything was so flavorful and minimal clean-up afterwards. Leftovers stashed in the frig. With Kaspar's take-out meals, the team always considers everything from the customer's pick-up/delivery to that last taste of dessert. Speaking of dessert, the Almond Carrot Cake with Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting deserved an award! Kaspar's team really outshined with this meal. It easily deserved 5+ stars! read more

We had some meal and cocktail kits delivered to a few clients for an event and everyone was very impressed. We were told the meal was "THE BEST" and "UNBELIEVABLE"! Anthony and his team are very helpful. Anthony was very responsive the whole time and very kind. Thank you! read more

They catered our wedding and were totally open to doing a breakfast for dinner and keeping it vegetarian. We were not only happy with the food, but all the staff was great to work with. We like it so much we went to the Thanksgiving Buffet the next year. The food was amazing, with lots of vegetarian and seafood options (all labeled). We had a great time, even when we got busted by Chef Kaspar while having dessert first. read more

I got to try their food at an event and oh my goodness! The food was beautifully made, tasted good, fresh and was made with love. The staff were really friendly as well. They were full of smiles and I can tell that they're proud of their stuff! I can't wait to see what else they have to offer! read more

We ordered an Octoberfest dinner this evening. It was excellent! The warm pretzels were tasty. The salad was perfect. We had the assortment dinner and Jaeger schnitzel. Both were fantastic! We will order again before it's over. Thank you Kaspar's!! read more

The planning for our event was incredibly well-though-out and the food was amazing! I felt like the event was lovely and a huge part of that was the professionalism of Kaspar's. The planning staff and day-of staff were excellent. read more

Ordering the heat at home dinners during Covid was one of the ways I treated myself. I LOVED the food, the cocktails, and the kindness and generosity of the staff. If I ever host an event, you can bet I will be calling Kaspars! Also, if you have an event and use them as your caterer, please invite me! read more

Kaspars was the heart of my Thanksgiving! A special thanks to the kind and professional Sara who worked with me back and forth over the phone to make arrangements for my special order without onions! I swooped in on the morning of Thanksgiving, was greeted politely, directed to my neatly arranged, boxed-for travel order and instructions, and I was back on my way in less than 2 minutes! Our food was delicious and our 8 guests were stuffed with plenty of left-overs. I especially appreciated the straightforward, simple, well-thought-out instructions included with the meal. Heating and serving the 5 amazing dishes was easy to set up -- and then quick and easy to clean up afterwards! Thanks Kaspars! I can't recommend you enough! read more

I had Kaspar's cater an afternoon event with heavy appetizers for about 45 people and I can't recommend them highly enough. Everything we had was incredible - I recommend the pulled pork sliders with grilled pineapple and homemade pickles, shrimp and avocado tostadas, miso lettuce cups, and the feta dip. The customer service was so friendly and chef Derrick is fantastic. Thanks for making my event so easy! Everyone raved about the food. read more

Kaspar's is a truly wonderful business run by truly wonderful people. I have now twice participated in instructional lunches with my company, and just like I did a few years back upon leaving the first time, I left this recent even thinking only about when I could get us back there. Starting with the event planning staff - Bridget was extremely helpful, very patient, and responded to my last-minute needs with grace. Then, the service staff - I'm a jerk so I forgot all of their names, but they were fast, attentive, and friendly. Finally, Kaspar and the kitchen staff - Kaspar is a great guy, very funny, very warm, extremely talented and knows how to teach someone who doesn't know what they're doing. He clearly hires people from his own breed, because everyone else in the kitchen is the same way. The food was great (although it certainly would have been better had we not been the people cooking and presenting it). The wine was great. It was a really wonderful day. Again. So yeah, can't wait to schedule the next event. read more

Have you been to an event where the food is abysmal? We all have! But I attended an event catered by Kaspars a while back and I still can't get the experience out of my mind. The food was totally stellar and the portions passed were perfect bite-sized samples of food that were easy to manage while holding wine in the other hand. We all know how frustrating it is to attend an event and want to eat and drink while walking around but managing the food in both hands can be tough. But this event was like magic! The team was quick to offer napkins, take used skewers, grab empty plates, etc. In fact everything was passed around the room (or picked back up) by the various Kaspar's employees. Each of whom was extremely friendly and kind. So great food, great quality, and exceptional service. I was very happy with the event and if I hear Kaspars is catering another event, I'll be sure to squeal like a little girl at the thought of that type of experience again. Sidenote: I hear they do Easter dinner. Interesting! I might have to check that out next year. read more

The bathrooms are really dim- probably so you don't see how distended your belly has become after a meal here! Kaspar's is a great alternative to Salty's on Alki- less pressure, more elbow-room, less Vegas-y. I'd argue that Kaspar's is superior in some respects. There's plenty to choose from and you'll still leave stuffed, but there is visibly less to choose from compared to Salty's. You'll still get your Caesar salad, fruit & cheese & crackers, smoked salmon, seared tuna, shrimp cocktail, a number of entrees, carved meats, soup, and a sampling of desserts. The scale just isn't as obscene as Salty's. Highlights of their Thanksgiving buffet include: lentils with chicken cilantro meatballs, black bean and cojito cheese quesadilla, honey rum smoked salmon, caramelized onion with goat cheese tart, and (of course) carved rosemary turkey. Kaspar's applejack. Flourless chocolate cake. Lowlights were a dungeness crab bisque (looked more like gravy, tasted like ?? mystery soup) and a too boozy tiramisu. Kaspar's isn't a restaurant- they do special events, catering, wine dinners, and cooking classes. update- 11/24/07 Kaspar's isn't doing a Christmas buffet, but rather a prix-fixe Xmas eve dinner. They are also doing a New Year's Eve dinner (doesn't look like a buffet either. Website doesn't have info re: the menu, just says to stay tuned). Per Kaspar's website: CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER Monday, December 24 Seating begins at 5pm Celebrating the season with family and friends is what Christmas is all about. If you could do that without all the stress wouldn't you? From the first course to the delectable desserts, a memorable meal, without all the "fuss and muss" awaits you. Every holiday celebration at Kaspars is a grand affair and Christmas Eve is the crme de la crme. We offer an exquisite prix-fixe menu with each course featuring something special for this joyful event. Whether you prefer an intimate dinner for two, or a large gathering of friends and family, Kaspars is the ideal location for your Christmas celebration. $49 per person read more

Kaspars is truly the best. I've used Kaspars for a 300+ offsite event. Kaspars crew are incredibly knowledgable, professional, friendly and helpful. From helping with putting together a menu for the event, to the actual execution of the evening - everything was flawless. Kaspar and his staff delivered superior service and our guests left saying how incredibly tasty the food was. Kaspars also opens up their space for special occasions like Mother's Day, Easter, etc., and if you are looking to indulge in some delicious food, I highly recommend coming here. There are endless choices of food - carving station, dessert station, hot foods, cold foods, salads and much more. You will usually see Chef Kaspar helping replenishing food and making sure all looks great. His wife Nancy is also on site to welcome guests and to thank guests for coming. The special buffets are a little spendy, but worth it because of the service, quality of the food and it's a buffet! You can stuff yourself silly and leave with a full happy belly. It's so nice to see a company who truly care about their customers! read more

Kaspar's does mostly catering, but they also throw regular special events, such as Easter brunch. The buffet menu looked great from their website, and they delivered on everything promised. Pretty much everything was good. The meats were fresh, the omelettes had a nice variety of offerings, the desert section was fun and good, and all of the food was well stocked and fresh looking. Except for the eggs benedict -- it seems those would be better suited to be cooked up fresh at the omelette bar, instead of sitting in a pan like that. But it still tasted ok. A bottle of wine was only $40. Per person price for all you can eat was $40, a reasonable price for the quality and variety you get. My sister and nephew had to back out last minute, and I thought I was on the hook for them as well, because they required my credit card to hold the reservation. Kinda strange, but Kaspar's didn't hold me to the reservation of 4. So despite my last ditch efforts to get some nearby friends to come out for a treat with one hour's notice, it was just my mom and moi'. My mom is a bit picky, and she loved it -- ate quite a bit, too. It was busy, but not all the tables were full, so we didn't feel cramped. Service was super nice. Overall, it was a very nice time, and I would definitely do it again. PROS: Everything tastes good, nice variety, and deliver on what they promise. Friendly service. I like the boys managing the coat check and holding doors open, too -- kind of sweet and family friendly vibe. CONS: Requiring a credit card to hold a reservations seemed like too much in this security-conscious environment. Should consider moving the eggs benedict to the omelette table. read more

Reservations for 10 people plus four kids on Easter Sunday? No problem accommodating us at Kaspars! The $45 per person seemed steep at first, but when you count in the fact that no one has to cook or clean up and the food was better than a typical buffet...it was more than worth the price! Also the kids were free! Despite being taken to our table about 30 minutes late for our reservations, we fully enjoyed our Easter brunch. Once we sat down, it was evident that the staff wasn't going to rush us away from our table. We took our time and enjoyed our time with friends and many trips to the buffet line. read more

I've been waiting to write a review for Chef Kaspar and his staff for ages. Okay-- maybe not literally ages-- but ever since our tasting in March, I've been bragging to everyone who will listen about how good the food at our wedding was going to taste. There aren't words to adequately describe the flavors. My now-husband calls it "Texas-inspired PNW fare", which is about as close as I can come. It's delicious, hearty dishes like shepherd's pie with an added oomph of spice. It's chicken and fish that are moist but not drowning in oil. It is seriously the most delicious food ever. I write restaurant reviews on Yelp fairly often, but I hardly ever have this much to say about how authentically, amazingly good a dish is. Literally, every dish at our wedding just knocked it out of the park. Sure, people liked our ceremony, they liked my dress and accessories, and they liked our little touches, but what they raved about was the food. A few people even said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding- and these were not people in their twenties and thirties, but folks who I'm assuming have been to a fair number of weddings in their life. On top of that, all of Kaspar's staff was easy and fun to work with, especially Erin and our team lead, Joe. I would work with both of them again in a heartbeat. They also made and canned (jarred?) fresh berry jam for us to use as favors, which looked great and tasted even better. Seriously, if you need catering for your wedding or event, you definitely need to check these folks out. read more

I learned about Kaspar's through Yelp and I am so glad I chose to go there for Thanksgiving. They had a great buffet of high quality food, nice atmosphere, good service, and the buffet was set up more like an event you'd go to rather than a buffet you'd think of at a lower quality place. The desserts were particularly awesome. Actually if I go back, I think I'll eat everything BUT the turkey, stuffing, etc. Those were really good, but there was just a lot more to try. If I had any complaints, it was just that there was too much to try and I didn't get to try it all. But that's OK. Hubby did point out that for the price ($42) we could have had an amazing foodie experience elsewhere. They had fairly traditional Thanksgiving flavors with a gourmet twist, like butternut squash cannelloni. They were reaaalllly good but not transcendent and we have had such wonderful experiences at restaurants lately that I think we are getting a little spoiled. For me, I was looking for good food and atmosphere with still a feeling of traditional Thanksgiving so it was spot on. Service was great, with one little glitch. We arrived early and still were seated right away, there was waiter service for drinks, and he was a good waiter -- there when you need him, not there when you didn't. The one glitch was: our table was cleared when we went to get dessert! But the waiter replaced everything ASAP, including the half glass of wine my husband had left there. read more

Food was wonderful but what pushed me to leave a review was their high level of service during the planning process. We needed heavy appetizers for 60 people and Briana was wonderful to work with in arranging the event. She was polite, professional, accommodating, and prompt to reply. A week prior to the event, Briana proactively reached out to confirm final details. The entire process was smooth and stress-free. Thanks, Kaspars! read more

Great place to visit for their holiday brunch. We came here for Easter brunch and the food and service were equally great. Our reservation was at the tail end of their brunch time, so we were a bit worried that we wouldn't get the best offerings, which tends to happen at other establishments. We were pleasantly surprised to find that each dish was still fresh and the kitchen continued to replenish items as they were emptied. There was a varied selection of appetizers, entrées, and desserts. We will definitely return and recommend you try it for yourself. Be sure to make your reservations early or you'll miss out! read more

I had my wifes 50th birthday party at Kaspars and it Wowed my guests. We did food stations and themed them after areas in Seattle. They decorated all the stations with to go with the theme such as pike place. It was so great! I'm a chef so very picky on the food and I have to say...I was impressed! Chef Kaspars even came out and wished my wife happy birthday. Can't wait to have Kaspar come cook for my bithday. BD read more

Had a phenomenal experience working with Kaspars for our catered company event. We had very specific requests moving through their offered menu items and food stations, and they were able to accommodate for every need and request regarding our station edits, setup requests, alcohol preferences, and passed food and bevs. The food was a huge hit among our 200+ guest count, and everything was beautifully plated, tasted delicious, and perfectly matched the atmosphere and aesthetics of our event and venue choice! I would have left it at 4 stars as there were no complaints across the board, but what tipped the quality over the edge to a 5-star rating was their impeccable level of catered service! Up until the last minute, Erin was especially helpful and stayed dedicated to ensuring we got the exact look we envisioned for the floor plan, centerpieces, and overall feel. The evening's event coordinator made sure all catering ran smoothly and that all guests had what they needed (including making sure I as the host was taken care of as well), and each member of the Kaspars catering staff was helpful and smiling as soon as they arrived on site, all the way through tear down. They handled every detail, were an amazingly positive addition to the energy as guests arrived and mingled, and provided the perfect space for everyone to relax and simply enjoy themselves (including me!). Every single person on staff that night was exceptionally friendly, and felt passionate in their readiness to be of service... Thank you to Kaspar for being a huge part in creating one of our best events yet! read more

I recently coordinated a wedding where Kaspars was the caterer; they did a terrific job! Joe and his team were dependable, thorough, professional, and pleasant. I highly recommend the Kaspars team and hope to work with them again soon. read more

Love this place. We've been fans since the restaurant was open, have participated in cooking classes and special events dinners for years, and have had them cater special events. This year we picked up Thanksgiving dinner, which was as yummy as we expected. Everything was nicely packaged as well, with clear heating instructions. Great food and warm, friendly staff. read more

Heard about your amazing work supporting Tent City 5 on KEXP Mind Over Matters this morning. THANK YOU, Kaspars, for providing Wednesday dinners. Community-oriented businesses will always have my $$. read more

I'm not sure is the lady is with the management, but I witnessed some very unprofessional public behavior today. It appeared that another business' vehicle had parked behind Kaspars. When approached by the employee of Kaspars to move his vehicle, he didn't seem upset n by it and even began loading his equipment, next thing she came back out and although I couldn't hear all of the exchange, she was mad that hadn't already left. What has happened to, "Hey, would you mind parking elsewhere?" And, thank you for moving. Looking at Kaspars Catering website, it seems like a business I would recommend. However, treatment of people could definitely be a deal breaker. read more

Had the most amazing experience with Kaspars this past week (and month of planning). We had two separate, corporate events we were planning for the same day, same location in Seattle. They guided us through their process, gave excellent recommendations on food and beverages and provided exceptional sales support and on-site support for both events. Everyone was extremely professional, helpful, and fun - the food, presentation, and service were amazing. This was our first time using Kaspars and look forward to the next time! Thank you for a great experience! read more

I would highly recommend their prepared holiday meals. We just finished Thanksgiving dinner and it was great. Just order, pick up and reheat! Turkey was awesome. A new tradition for sure!! I have been a fan for 30+ years since they had a restaurant in lower Queen Anne. They catered our daughters wedding this summer and it was perfect. read more

I came here for their Easter buffet brunch two years ago. Kaspar himself was there cooking in the back and replenishing trays on the line. I thought that was great to see, really drives home his dedication to his culinary talent and the care he takes for his customers. Very friendly and encourages you to eat more!! He even asked me at one point, "You like beets? You should like beets...beets! They put hair on your chest! Good for you!". His personality is very charming. We bought his Cooking Video (on VHS no less) which was $20, but when we bought it, they gave us a $25 gift certificate to eat at their restaurant! Major brownie points. The video was pretty cute too. Very dated though, I think it was made in the early 90s. The cuisine is heavily influenced by Germany, including spatzle, smoked trout, and certain breads. Everything was really good, special attention to detail and very creative. Kaspar put creative twists to otherwise mundane foods, for instance their Earl Gray creme bruele...sooooo good. And I don't like creme bruele! They had delicious lamb which is something you don't always see at buffets, and my favorite food, pretty much ever. The setting is very warm, a like a small elegant bungaloo, tucked close to the key arena in Queen Anne. Cute Victorian style decor, not cheesy. The only downside of it's smallness is the tables were very close together. My mom had a hard time getting in and out. We were greeted at the front door by two small children, which made us feel like old friends coming to visit. Kaspars also offers mothers day buffet brunch, as well as seasonal buffet events, and wine dinners. A little spendy, on the same cost of any other buffet, i would like to return! read more

Kaspar's was amazing! We hosted our son's wedding welcome dinner and post-wedding brunch at the Wooden Boat Center where Kaspar's caters. We picked them because they came with the venue, but now will seek out Kaspar's for other events that we host. They were very easy to work with. The food was incredible, reasonably priced, and the catering crew was perfect. They were timely, efficient, discreet and welcoming. We received a large number of compliments on the food and the service. It was definitely a best ever kind of event thanks to them. read more

***BTW, the Wine Club coordinators of this event and Winemaker were wonderful! It has taken me awhile to even broach this attempt to write an update because every time I re-read the email from one of the owners, I would also recall the unpleasant phone conversation with her and I would have set it aside...again! Wow. Condescending and initially unapologetic doesn't even begin to describe the start of my phone conversation with her. It was quite apparent to me that she is accustomed to verbally manipulating, coercing, and controlling people. I believe she mistook my phone silence as acquiescing, when in actuality I was biting my tongue since nothing polite would have exited. So, instead I put her on speaker and let my husband hear what was transpiring. Once she (owner) realized he was now part of the conversation, there was a bit of back-pedaling and diminished assertiveness. But overall the general gist was that we must be totally wrong and delusional. Great PR, eh? It was only at the very end of a 10-15 minute "talk" that a comp dinner was begrudgingly offered, but only on the condition that we remove our review within the next couple of days. Yes, a deadline was mandated as well---unbelievable. We understandably have declined the offer. I cannot change my rating as subsequent experiences with this business have only served to lower our opinions. read more

Kaspars recently catered our wedding at the Center for Wooden Boats in SLU. We were blown away. Bridget was incredible every step of the way in the planning process. The food was delicious, the space was beautiful, and our guests were all impressed!

We want to shout it from the rooftops, hire Kaspars, you won't regret it! read more
