From the…read morescenic landscape (including a huge pond) to the wide array of beautiful flowers, this venue has yet to disappoint. They are familiar with the area, so their catering and DJ recommendations are always spot on. During the event, they were incredibly friendly and attentive without being intrusive. It truly feels as if their number one priority is ensuring that everything goes smoothly, and that the attendees all leave happy. There's a truly unique, mystical feeling to this place that is hard to find anywhere else. Just look at the pictures for yourself and you'll see exactly what I mean.

For starters- Sam is a genius at decor. I said "I'm having a baby shower, it's a girl, the theme is baby in bloom" and she ran with it and blew my mind. That was ALL the direction I gave and the place looked GORGEOUS. Cindy kept the party going at a good pace, making sure we started food, cake and games running on time, which meant I didn't have to focus on that during the event and could mingle freely with my guests! It's a beautiful location with a lot of land- my sister brought her little dog and kids had a blast playing games on the lawn (the venue had corn hole and ladder ball). Theres a small lookout area where some of the guys smoked cigars and they also have a bar area (shout out to Dan at track 32 catering for their incredible bar and food). The ladies were super accommodating- they have a big walk in fridge so I could bring cake and flowers for the centerpieces the night before and then they put the flowers in the mason jar vases (again provided by the venue). They thought of everything- 2 photo areas, a gifts table, Bluetooth speakers with a mic set up, a table set up for food and for cake, and lots of smaller areas for guests to break off into smaller groups on the side. They were very responsive to their emails and cleaned everything up after. Like I said- they made it so easy for me! I can't thank them enough and can't recommend them enough

After 15 minutes he finally got his food. I waited another 5 minutes before checkout my on my order. They said they were running behind on the grill. I waited another 5 minutes and they said it would be ready soon. Finally after 30 minutes of waiting I just asked for my money back. During the wait, I saw multiple other people check on their orders and that's when the staff realized they lost order tickets. My friend had ordered the rogue (braised short rib sandwich) and did not enjoy it at all, stating there was no flavor to the meat. Do not bother trying Wandering Dago. They are unorganized and even though they make it seem like a gourmet menu, the food is not good. Stay away and try any of the other good options around

Cannot go wrong with the weekly dinners (on Thursdays), but pre order in advance to both save on price and also guarantee your order... They frequently sell out. When not doing the Thursday night dinner; the subs, the pizza, and especially the deserts are all delicious! Such a great hometown place. Oh and during lent and occasionally in the summer, the fish fry's are great, too! Saturdays have pop up sandwich specials. Bread is fantastic, as well. All-in-all, an A+ operation

Sure, I thought about paying $12 for a sandwich but with Frese's fabulous dinners, the decision wasn't hard and I would gladly do it again. We always seem to end up being disappointed with other restaurants BLT solely because of the lack of the amount of bacon. Frese's had full bacon flavor with several pieces accompanied by the perfect amount of lettuce and tomato. We look forward to their continued treats!

So much to think about: can different cultural tastes be addressed, can a casual lunch of sandwiches and sides be taken up a notch, will plates and cutlery be of good quality to so that the meal won't plop over a valued client's lap, etc (!) and all being kept within a budget? Mike hit all my concerns with A+ responses. Not only were the meals great for the group of 40+, Mike was flexible with last minute changes, catering was delivered in a timely manner, and I could count on his professional customer service for the venue without me even attending. 5 Stars for Michael's Express Catering - my go-to caterer for service, creativity and quality in food items, and Mike's enthusiastic personality to work with. Thanks big time, Mike! We'll do it again!

We found Chef Deanna through Instagram and were intrigued. I sent her a quick note, and next thing…read moreyou know, we're on a phone call for over an hour that felt like 10 minutes. We asked Deanna to cater our 115 person, mountain top wedding with as much fire-prepared food as possible. Think Francis Mallmann (google him if you arent familiar). No running water. No electricity. She was game. She was more than game. She came ready to rumble and was cooking on the fire pit from morning until late night. Deanna is warm, talented, energetic, charming, and generous. She made amazing, locally sourced, fresh food our guests are still raving about. She has real relationships with farmers and producers in the area - her local connections are priceless. Her whole team never broke their professionalism and wowed us with their service and hospitality. She helped our moms serve apple pies instead of wedding cake. She sprinkled flowers all over the buffet tables. She shared with us all her beautiful old plates. She surprised us with a late night round of sloppy joes. She let us borrow all the props and baskets and water jugs for our whole wedding weekend, even for events that she wasn't specifically there for. I could go on and on. Book with Deanna, she is a true unicorn of the catering world.

We postponed two times, and Chef Deanna was incredibly accommodating throughout it all. In fact -- she supported our decision to postpone (even the second time!) when so many people questioned why we were doing it. Postponing twice was absolutely the right decision, and we had our dream wedding on 4/9/22 of this year. Chef Deanna worked with us to create a menu that was rustic and aligned with our tastes/personalities. We did a barbecue buffet for the main course -- with macaroni and cheese, multiple types of meat, cornbread, etc. -- and a more classic cocktail hour with charcuterie/cheese etc. Everything was delicious. My only regret is that I didn't go up for seconds! In ADDITION to that, Chef Deanna provided her gorgeous vintage plates that were a perfect fit with our venue. This really helped make our planning easier, and added to the beauty of the tables on the day. Everything went seamlessly -- We could not have been happier with Chef Deanna's catering!
