Not only were they experienced, polite, extremely professional, but they jumped into tasks without even being asked. Helped with serving appetizers, to taking care of the bar, to making/passing out drinks, helped with the food buffet, cake/coffee serving and clean up. In other words, they were AMAZING!!! Would absolutely recommend for your next event!

Amazing and fun bartenders!

I ended up finding my own cocktail recipes and got fancy signs framed myself but I'm glad she suggested doing signature cocktails because they were a total hit! Both bartenders were extremely friendly, fun, and courteous. They came early to make 2 big batches of our signature drinks to have on hand. They were high energy, dancing behind the bar to the dj's music the entire night! Everyone loved their contagious energy! Whenever I walked by they offered me drinks immediately and even memorized what my mother in law ordered so whenever she came back they had her drink ready for her to hand out! Absolutely exceeded expectations!

I ordered catering from Fork It Foods for my husband's retirement reception, and overall I was very…read morepleased with the experience. While the additional fees made the total cost a little higher than I had originally budgeted, I felt the food itself was reasonably priced and well worth it. The food was delicious, and all of our guests were very happy with it. Several guests even asked where I had ordered the food from, which says a lot about how much they enjoyed it. The employees were professional, delivering the food on time and setting everything up beautifully. The presentation was elegant and added a special touch to the event. Overall, I would recommend this catering company for special occasions. The quality of the food, excellent service, and attractive setup helped make my husband's reception a memorable celebration.

The first thing we agreed on is there would be a roast. And also a carving station. The second thing we did was meet with Tom and Didi and their team to produce from the storyboard, a lakeside backyard party with a nod to the friendly skies and the man who no longer flies. From the video invitation to the Bang Bang Ji Si Chicken Salad and the Portobello Sandwiches on the buffet, everything was well received. A neighbor told me when he saw the delivery truck unloading the tables and chairs earlier and then saw the backyard set up, it reminded him of the movie Father Of The Bride. On Saturday, May 25th, the Eleganté staff, led by Event Captain Mauricio had every detail in place, and Chef Didi had every flavor as anticipated. They served up the buffet while wearing a white boat captain's hat. Picture that. Gary, Julie and I became guests, so together with 70 guests, and 32 who celebrated from a far, we will always appreciate of how you and yours, made it come together and had it taken away, all on the same day.

They deliver on time, are courteous, drop off, set up then later clean up everything. It makes life easy for everyone at our company not having to worry about the post eating cleanup. Most of the food is very delicious but I have had some items that were not quite as amazing. One day our company ordered asparagus which made our whole warehouse (ie huge) office smell for the entire day. Oy vey! Overall though, we've been pleased with the food, as well.

I was looking for a caterer to provide some light bites for an event I was hosting when I came…read moreacross North Island Catering. I read the great reviews and decided to give them a try! I actually initially found this company through an outside website (thumbtack I believe?), which made it super easy to quickly communicate with them and request a quote. Responses were punctual and I received all of the information I needed including menus, options, and costs. Hassle free and definitely appreciate considering my event was only a few days away! I ended up ordering the following: - Bacon wrapped BBQ shrimp - Veggie pizza - Mini rueben sandwiches - Peanut butter cookies - Chocolate brownies Everything was delivered on time and was absolutely delicious! The guy who dropped off the food was super nice and was able to call in my credit card number for payment. They were sure to include plates, silverware, and napkins with the order. Everyone at my event raved about the food (especially the veggie pizza and chocolate brownies). This is a family owned business and everything is made from scratch. While initially I thought the prices were a bit much, after tasting the food itself and seeing how much we got I realized the cost was definitely fair. My only complaint would have to be the presentation. Now mind you, they don't claim to specialize in this or anything, but I think if they found a way to package the food a little nicer that would go a long way! Especially since the food is so delicious, then all customers would have to do is literally put it out for their guests. I ended up rearranging a bit and moving things to more presentable and size appropriate platters. Tip: Consult with them about how much food to order. I did not do this and I definitely over ordered for my group. I had a whole veggie pizza leftover, tons of cookies, and some sandwiches. And not because the food wasn't liked, but just because I had SO much of it. The desserts and pizza were great as leftovers, everything else not so much.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Pear Tree Catering's food. My office has catered from Pear…read moreTree for a number of years so I've been fortunate enough to be able to try many of the delicious items that they offer. I love the amazing presentation across all items I've seen -- many times exceeding what I've ever seen at weddings. They also provide wonderful cards with descriptions and dietary indicators that look great and are very informative. What really stands out here though is the food quality. All the fruits and vegetables I've had, whether it be in a fruit tray, salad, grilled veggies, etc. are top notch. Generally I won't go towards fresh produce when given other options, but Pear Tree has won me over with their absolutely delicious items. Even items such as breadsticks and crackers with a mix of cheese are absolutely delicious, where the commitment to sourcing quality ingredients is evident with every bite. Salads are also incredibly good here, with fresh greens that are nice and crisp and nice juicy tomatoes and other items like cheese, nuts, fruits, etc. that once again show their commitment to top notch ingredients. Overall, I'm glad that we do so much corporate catering with Pear Tree Catering. Employees are genuinely excited every time they bring in delicious food to the office, as they are consistently excellent across the board with all their offerings
