I hired John for a birthday celebration, after speaking with a few local caterers his offering was…read morebest for my needs. On the day of the party, I had a chef on-site, one server and one bartender, who served guests with booze I supplied. They came early to set up and cleaned everything up before they left. Their service included all platters, plates, and cutlery. The team was kind and professional. We did hot/cold heavy-apps, in total 8, which included a cheese board and hummus/dips. The food was outstanding, everyone raved about it. It was expensive but this approach allowed me to have more people join and I was able to enjoy time with guests without worrying about food or that someone had a drink. One minor frustration was the contract process, it should be standard practice to have an agreement that outlines all details, including the agreed to menu, and to have it signed by both parties. It felt like they were inconvenienced by this request. That said, I would recommend Essential Chefs Catering to anyone!

They showed up just before 2 and told me where they were going to set up and asked where I would like the banquet table. That was the last I spoke with them until they were leaving. The food was delicious and abundant. We had Spare ribs, Steak tips, hamburger sliders, mac and cheese, salad and corn on the cob. This also came with rolls and butter. Everything was excellent. My guests all commented on how good the food was. Many guests said they were the best tips they've ever had. They had packed up all the leftover food and brought it into my kitchen after asking where I wanted it. I will be definitely be using them again. So easy to deal with, I called Kevin to set it up, and he asked me to call back 5 days prior to the date with the count and the final menu. And that was it. They showed up and did a great job, with quality food, equipment, and everything needed for a great barbecue.

I am not one to write a review, but I feel compelled to do so this time. We used Anna at Lasting…read moreImpressions for our son's rehearsal dinner. From the very beginning she was very hard to get a hold of. At one point she told me " I really could use 4 assistance - but it's just me". The only way to get her was via phone call - but she was always driving or at another event, so you really didn't have her full attention. And she never had anything written down. Anyway - the food was ok - but the serve was terrible. We notice right away that none of our water glasses were filled. When we asked about it, the servers eventually dropped water pitchers on the tables ( which filled about 3 glasses of a 8 person table ) Our sit down dinner for only 35 people took over an hour for all 5 tables to be served. Anna had assured me many times that we had plenty of time for her to serve a full meal before our welcome drinks. We were so far behind that we asked her to just take the dessert that we had paid for and set it on a table at the welcome drinks, because people were coming in by then. Then when we got up and moved to the welcome drinks with passed appetizers - again soo slow to come out. Our venue coordinator (not with Lasting Impressions) was running around trying to help speed them along. The charcuterie board ran out of crackers fast. It took forever to get them to refill. At one point -one of the servers stopped to offer me something and began talking to me about her daughters wedding - going on and on. So unprofessional. She is there to serve food - not mingle with me. Again I have never posted a negative review, but I wish I would have seen something like this before I booked Lasting Impressions. I would not recommend them.

Taste of Summer and Xyomie, their sales manager, on the other hand, were helpful and excited to work with us right from the beginning. First, Xyomie helped us find a menu that fit the budget and feel of our wedding. We chose a grilling menu that included chicken, steak, and shrimp as well as a few sides and appetizers. Xyomie promptly answered every email from me over about six months, including one the week before the wedding asking to add more to the menu. She also explained with a lot of detail how the day would go and gave us all the info we needed to be ready for the event. Our wedding was on the Cape so the company had to travel for the event and they were prompt and ready to work upon their arrival. The food was delicious and we have gotten so many compliments from our guests. One friend told us that we won the prize for best food out of all the college weddings. A chef grilled right at the buffet table so all of the meat was served right after cooking. The caterers even packed up leftovers for us that we're still eating three days later. When I walked up to the buffet, the lead caterer introduced himself and it turned out to be Dave himself, the owner of the company. We were so grateful to have the owner overseeing our event. The staff was also great with clean up and kept the food and alcohol - related parts of the event running smoothly and on time. Our only recommendation would be to get actual silverware if you are serving the steak. We used disposables and it was a little hard to cut the steak with the plastic knives, but that's not the fault of the caterers. You will absolutely be happy with the service, prices, and food from Taste of Summer!
