City Catering provided the catering for our wedding reception in October 2018, and we could not…read morehave been happier. I'll sum it up at the start: everything they did was beautiful, thoughtful, delectable, and respectful for us and for our guests and diverse diet preferences and restrictions. We got "best wedding food I've ever had" comments from pretty much everybody. On top of that, the City Catering staff was kind and considerate before, during and after, and instilled 100% confidence that our reception would be memorable and fun. Read on for a lot of heart-fluttering and tummy-tempting details... During the planning phase, Lendy and Chanin worked closely with us and with the venue on all details of menu, ingredients, timing, space, table settings...you name it and they were completely prepared to address it. They always said "yes" to us, and advocated for us when negotiating details with the venue. They were especially accommodating on the menu planning because our guests ran a wide range of food restrictions from vegetarian to gluten free to picky carnivores to a couple of very tricky and highly dangerous allergies...so, we basically gave them a needle to thread and they came up with a creative and diverse menu that met all of our needs. At the reception itself, the place settings were all gorgeous and matched well with the rustic, reclaimed look of the venue. We had a terrific little hors-d'ouevres spread with crackers, nuts, fruit, cheese and dips while the cooks prepared the entrees. Our dinner included an amaaaaazing salad followed by a buffet-style entrees; choices included a vegan eggplant entree that was out of this world; sauteed shrimp; and short ribs. There were also brussels sprouts that were cooked and seasoned absolutely perfectly. My mom was sitting on my right and she kept saying, "Oh, Chris, this is delicious," and she ate far more than the normal bird-like portion she would normally have had. Everything was gorgeous and perfect, and the staff were kind, courteous and professional without exception. The whole thing went off without a hitch, and I would highly recommended them to anyone. One last note: City Catering has also provided fantastic snacks-and-drinks catering at lots of local arts events I've attended; it's super great that they support the arts community in the Seattle area. YAAAAAYYYYYYY!!! Thank you again City Catering for making the trip down to Tacoma and being a part of our wedding day.

We used City Catering for our wedding in October and were very happy with them…read more We settled on City after doing a tasting with Erin. I felt that the food was a step above the usual wedding catering; it was innovative, delicious, and memorable. We opted to serve the Signature cocktail and mocktail that the bartender made for us during our tasting, but City allowed us to bring our own liquor, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. In addition to the food and drinks, City Catering handled the setup and teardown of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Our friends and family raved about the food and drinks, especially the bread bar.

Up till recently, each Sunday I'd just order off the Tuesday delivery menu for my week of meals, as my schedule dictates. I liked this a lot because it allowed me to account for planned dinners out with friends and weekends. I've used other meal delivery services and they don't allow for any flexibility. Looking to shed a few pounds, I recently signed up for her M-F 3 meal a day w/ snack Fit Lifestyle Meal package. You don't have to choose (although you can give her restrictions) and the food is really great with a lot of variety. I'm too busy to feed myself (rationalization, I know) and to be able to have someone just plan for my 1200 calorie a day, wheat-free menu has been a real blessing. She's also very responsive to email.

We hired James for a small 5-person private dinner. He developed a beautiful menu, brought some…read morewines to pair, and made the whole evening so memorable. Some highlights of the food included a smoked salmon salad that changed my mind about how to make spinach salad; a beautiful lobster bisque that we liked so much we took home leftovers; and a gorgeous duck entree and tofu entree - both so good it's hard to say which I liked more. In addition, James was so incredibly kind and accommodating through the entire process. He worked with me on making changes to the menu several times, accommodated individual preferences/dietary needs, and he was prompt and professional in every instance. I am looking for my next excuse to book with him again!

Once again, I want to be able to give a 6th star. I went to a wedding at Union Station, where Jewel…read morecatered - Oh WOW, they pulled out all the stops. From the moment everyone walked in until the night ended, we were never without food or drink. As people walked into the ceremony, they were greeted with glasses of champagne. Then, once the ceremony ended and the reception began there were trays of food. Not just any food, but tiny morsels of amazing that were bits of pleasure to savor and enjoy! There were crab cakes - which were the best I've ever eaten, an appetizer with cucumber, lobster medallions and caviar that was amazing. I need to really talk about the caviar, because it was perfection - flavorful without being overly salty, and bursty like caviar should be. In addition to the trays of food, were platters of cheese, crackers and fruit. The cheese was amazing - all sorts of textures, flavors and colors that were so rich and delicious. Now, it's important to note the hosts of the wedding went all out, so we were able to sample a ton of things Jewel has to offer, but the dinner was TDF (to die for). Prime rib that melted in the mouth - not only did it melt in the mouth, but the flavor was mwah! Oh yes, and the mashed potatoes were inspired - served in these cute little glass cups with just enough room for the amazing gravy. Fire roasted veggies rounded out the meal perfectly. I have to tell you, if I had an event that needed to be catered, I would definitely look into these guys - they were amazing!

Feedback from our wedding was that the food was great and the service was impeccable. As soon as my husband and I walked back up the aisle, Paula, our banquet captain, was quick to ask us what we'd like to drink and ushered us to the bride's room where my husband and I could enjoy our first few minutes alone as a married couple. Within minutes Matt and I were introduced with our beers in our hands, ready to celebrate with our friends and families! For passed appetizers we had ahi tuna wonton crisps, coconut chicken skewers, and zucchini and feta cakes which were all hits with our guests. For dinner we served a raspberry and goat cheese salad, fresh fruit, chilled grilled asparagus, herb mashed potatoes, Jewel's orange miso glazed salmon, a chef carved prime rib. Dessert was a delicious carrot cake and Top Pot donuts that we brought in. I have to say, I was quite impressed with how fresh and delicious the food was and how quickly the team was able to keep the food coming! One thing to note, Jewel hosts a large group tasting in February for all their brides and grooms where they provide several (but not all) options from their menus rather than one on one tastings. The nice thing about this model is that you can see the quality in their catering on a large scale. Matt and I chose some things from the tasting in addition to some other options from Jewel's vast menu. We were pleased that the menu we served at our wedding tasted even better on the day of. Thank you Jewel, for everything!

After our original caterer went out of business 3 months before our wedding, my wife and I spoke to…read morethe people at Epicurean to see if they could help us out of our bind. We absolutely could not be happier! From the initial phone call to see if they were available on our date, to inviting us to meet with the owner and head chef, to offering us proposals on a menu (we wanted "American with a French-twist" and had a large number of picky eaters), working with us to stay on budget, and the service staff on the day of the wedding, we really cannot say enough good things about Epicurean! The staff on the day of the wedding was really a highlight: I spoke with their crew chief on the phone the day before the wedding, and off-handedly mentioned my wife's affinity for strawberry lemonade. After showing us through the buffet, the crew chief was waiting for us at the end of the line with a glass for my wife! Epicurean showed an amazing attention to detail and was absolutely great to work with every step of the way, and I would quickly recommend them to anyone without a second thought!
