Melissa, Jay, Erica and crew were outstanding. Great communication, professional and on time. They went above and beyond to make our day easy and stress free. The appetizers, pizza, and salad were so delicious. I was running on adrenaline, as I'm sure most brides do, and still took note of their hustle. I can't say enough positive things about this team and company.

If you see this food truck around - I highly recommend ordering a pizza

But he put all of our worries to rest. We planned a Mexican feast and that's exactly what we got! We couldn't travel with much for the banquet so we had LFA catering do it all. Food, wines, beers, very nice disposable plates and tableware. Him and his staff were wonderful and polite very professional! We were very pleased with everything and if we were to it again Jason and LFA would be my first call. Thank you very much. We had many compliments on the food.

We hired LFA Catering LLC for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding, and unfortunately, the…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing. Rehearsal Dinner The first signs of trouble appeared here. Despite our wedding planner reaching out hours before the event, Jason (the owner) never responded. He was responsible for providing tables and chairs for 40 guests but brought enough for less than a third. While the food was acceptable, it did not match the quality we experienced during our tasting. Wedding Day Our wedding had about 135 guests; per the contract, the catering team was supposed to arrive 3 hours early to assist with setup, food prep, and drinks. Instead, most staff and food arrived late and during the ceremony. Jason was not on-site and could not be reached until well after the event began. The bartenders arrived on time but with no direction and without mixers (also part of the contract), forcing our planner to purchase them out of pocket. Luckily we provided the alcohol so we at least had beer and wine. Because of their late arrival and lack of organization, we had to delay happy hour, dinner, and the reception. When food was finally served, many agreed-upon dishes were missing, including gluten-free options for guests with dietary restrictions. Portions were inconsistent, and they ultimately ran out of food, leaving 20+ guests--including our band and planner--without dinner. Jason did not arrive until after 8 PM (seven hours late) and offered no apology or solution to running out of food. After the Event The team was contracted to handle cleanup, breakdown and trash removal, but this was minimally worked on. Our planner stayed until midnight to clean what she could, after Jason and his staff had left. The next day, my wife, several guests and I spent the whole morning finishing what Jason hadn't done. Afterwards, while my wife and I are trying to enjoy our honeymoon and recover from the disaster he created with our wedding, he harassed my wife about getting all of the items he had left at the venue (we had to take them and store them in our trailer so we didn't get charged by the venue). He didn't have the decency to communicate during the wedding or make efforts to correct his mistakes, but he sure could call and text us non-stop when it was impacting his pocket book. You might wonder if there were warning signs. Honestly, there weren't--until the rehearsal dinner. Leading up to the wedding, Jason was responsive and helpful. He provided a wonderful tasting, he even met us a couple months in advance to walk venue and discuss our needs and coordinate with our wedding planner. He even worked with us to design a menu that accommodated multiple dietary restrictions. He seemed professional and committed. However, on the day of, he was overcommitted and underperformed. The food quality was nowhere near what we had at the tasting. It seemed either Jason didn't prepare the food himself (the head chef onsite was not Jason) or he cannot scale his recipes. Most dishes were bland, poorly cooked, or inedible. Jason may be a fine chef, but he is not a caterer. Something though that really defines who Jason and LFA Catering is, not once, to this day have we received an apology for everything that happened. In fact, during any conversation, with us or anyone else involved, he has only made excuses and tried to defend his actions saying he did the best he could. I'm sorry, but if that's the attitude you plan to have, I could not in good conscious recommend him to anyone for any catering needs. After reading another review where he no called and no showed, I feel lucky we at least received some food and services. I truly feel for those people. I hope whoever has spent the time to read this and their review, learn from our mistakes and stay as far away as possible from this company.

I had them cater a lunch for a corporate event a little while ago and it was a total success. The food was absolutely fantastic. Their catering prices are also really reasonable and they have plenty of options for accommodating different dietary needs. If you're looking for something other than the usual boring "sandwich salad" catering menu for an event, definitely check Pearl island out. It's super flavorful and delicious and has plenty of options for folks who are looking for something more interesting than a boring corporate lunch, but still has plenty of "safe" foods for pickier eaters. Definitely a crowd pleaser! We had tons of compliments on the food for our event, even from the folks who are normally not adventurous eaters. Check them out for your next event!

The presentation of the food is always beautiful and classy. I had some of the most memorable foods at the two events I attended that were catered by them. For a foodie like me, that's saying a lot! I first had their food at an Anthro graduate student event at UVA and it was so delicious and classy that I absolutely had to inquire about who did the catering. They had these amazing candied ginger brownies, a wonderful variety of gourmet breads and dips, and some other great desserts that slip my mind now. Everything was to die for. The food was the type of thing that truly shows how much you care about your guests. I used this catering company to cater a Caribbean conference I organized at UVA in 2009 and everything was divine. The roasted red pepper almond dip was to die for...seriously!! The breads were so amazingly tasty. The desserts were perfect (ginger brownies, cinnamon phyllo, citrus cream puffs). Everyone ranted and raved about everything from the presentation to the absolutely wonderful flavor, and they were all asking who did the catering. A Pimento gives attention to every single detail, and I would happily trust them to do any of my events. If I can have them come down to Richmond and do my wedding, I will do it in a heartbeat! Having A Pimento cater my conference was worth every single penny and so much more more. Many, many thanks to Gay and her team for an exceptionally well-done job. Your hard work was very much appreciated. The owner is friendly, very helpful, patient, and professional. Note: Super hard-to-find location. Drive slowly once you're on market street.

Well... now that we got that out of the way... this location was horrible. I showed up on Memorial Day after finishing a 6 hour hike at Old Rag. Believe me, I was hungry. The staff looked totally disinterested, maybe business was slow that day. I was the only customer in the building after all. I ordered a big Mediterranean with chicken on wheat. So the girl spread the hummus on the bread, added the chicken, and rolled it through the oven. She ran outside to greet someone she knew, I saw her hand out a cookie to a kid, which was nice. Sadly, my sandwich was sacrificed. The guy had no idea what he was doing. He asked if I wanted all the toppings, I told him no mayo, no mustard, everything else. Now I couldn't see it, but when he handed the bag to me within a minute, I thought that came back pretty fast. I paid my 13 bucks for the sandwich and drink and took a seat outside. As I unwrapped my lunch, my sense of concern was realized. He not only left off the hot peppers, he left off all the other Mediterranean sandwich toppings. No feta (which is supposed to go in the oven), no cucumber, no roasted peppers, no artichoke hearts. I decided not to ask for it to be remade, I didn't want an issue. So I asked for the Mediterranean toppings, a lady put cukes, peppers, and artichokes in a plastic cup. Still no feta or hot peppers. I decided to take what I could get. Oh and if you want more proof they don't pay attention to detail, the tomatoes on my sandwich were from the ends of the fruit. That's right, I had tomato stem in my sandwich. This staff needs training today. Not next weekend, they need it now. I'll go back to Potbelly again. But not this location. If they don't care, they're not getting any more of my money.

As someone who is passionate about pizza, I worked in a pizza shop for a long time and made pizzas. The sauce has no flavor, it's super thin and watery and also way too much of it on the pie which causes the cheese and toppings to slide right off. It soaked the crust and made it soggy as well. Not sure how they are making them but to charge $20 for a medium one topping is criminal for that experience. Gross. I tried two pieces for posterity and I couldn't finish the second piece. Whole thing tasted like cardboard. Please go to a class, learn the trade and try again. You can't pass this as edible pizza. Shouldn't be on the menu.
