I graduated from a doctoral program this week, and at the last minute decided to throw a graduation/Christmas cocktail party (who does that a week before Christmas? This girl...). My husband suggested having it catered to reduce the stress, and I thought there was no way I would find someone this late in the game - especially with my graduation on Tuesday, giving me just 3 days to pull it together. I found Saint Germain on Yelp, and was impressed with the outstanding reviews, so called them on Monday afternoon - to see if they could help me with a party on Saturday! Sure enough, I got an email from Nikki on Wednesday morning, we had a call that afternoon, and I had a proposal in my email within an hour. After making several changes to the proposal with my husband, we finalized the plan on Friday. I have to say that the party went off without a hitch! Our server, Nelson, arrived at 4 to set up for the 6pm party then changed and stayed to assist, serve, and cleanup. The food was amazing - hors d'oeuvres and desserts - my guests couldn't stop talking about how great the food was. Nelson was fantastic, and stayed 2 steps ahead of me all night. I was able to relax, enjoy my guests, and celebrate my accomplishment, because I knew that he was there taking care of every last detail - including making sure my glass of prosecco was full all evening. :) I would not hesitate to recommend Nikki and her team to anyone in the future, and will definitely be utilizing them again! read more

Stefany is amazing. I needed assistance with a large catering order, and she helped me pick various items and entrées for our group. She also talked me through a variety of choices that could possibly work for guests who needed vegetarian meals. Edwin delivered the food, and he was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend the business. read more

I kept going back to them for the great food, service and points. I always get ooh's and ahh's when I use them. I especially like their themed buffets and they always give enough food. They are also always early which is great because I'm not worried whether or not they're coming which when you're coordinating an event you have so many other things to think about! read more

We are a company in the Fair Lakes area and decided to use Saint Germain Catering for our holiday lunch event. Carrie was very helpful in helping me decide on the menu and the pricing. The gentleman who delivered the food, did a great job setting the food and tables up and making sure everything was ok before he left. The food was delicious. All of the employees enjoyed the food and had very positive comments on everything. Will definitely use them again for our company events. read more

I catered a work holiday party at my home from Saint Germain and was very impressed with their staff's professionalism and the quality of their food. So impressed, in fact, that we are using them for another party at our home just 2 weeks later. Jazmin is a delight to work with. She's extremely responsive and helpful. The delivery was easy, setup was efficient, and everything went smoothly. I was surprised that they could manage to deliver a perfectly prepared steak (the petite medallions) for our party size... but they certainly did! We couldn't be happier with their service! read more

Nikki and her team were amazing from start to finish. I am by no means an event planner, but Nikki took the time to guide me through planning a catered party for my wife's surprise party. I had several changes that I sent to her, and never did I feel like I was imposing. Her replies were usually in the same hour, sometimes even sooner. The event went flawlessly - staff was on time and had plenty of time to set up. During the event, the bar tender - Mauricio - was on point and quick to mix drinks, as well as tend to the food. And that was the best part - the food was amazing! People could not stop talking about how good the beef was. I would hire Saint Germain for a personal or professional event again in a heartbeat. Would not even consider searching for an alternative! read more

The catered dinner from Saint Germain Catering for 95 that I hosted was outstanding. From my first email, they called me and my event got rolling. Their willingness to revise my needs and invoice was met with patience and expertise. Every one of my guests raved about the Caribbean style menu that included fish, beef and chicken along with fresh salads and dressings, coconut rice and grilled vegetables. The vegetables were truly grilled and crisp. I cannot say enough about the delicious food, reasonable price and efficient service. I will use them again. read more

Awesome catering service! I had a board meeting on Saturday and Checco, our sever who works here was and is always awesome!! Food was delicious too! read more

I really REALLY wanted to give this place five stars. But unfortunately my Yelp code of ethics won't allow me to be dishonest. I had to plan lunch for a company executive team retreat last minute. And by last minute, I mean it's 10:30 and I need lunch DELIVERED by 12:30 for 14 people and people are still trickling in at different times so I didn't have all the orders. That was a tall order so I ended up volunteering to pick up the food. But the planning process was stressful. The menu is very lengthy. They have separate boxes meals for individuals. However for some of the hot entree and the sides, the price per person but there needs to be at least 4 people ordering it. This wasn't clear to me from the menu. And apparently it wasn't clear to my colleagues either because a few people selected got entrees such as the brisket but when I called to place the order I was informed of the minimum number of order required. When I initially called this place to place the orders that's when I learned of some of the minimums. So I had to keep calling back to add things to our order and the staff was very patient. Didn't express any annoyance even though I am positive I was being annoying. The food was ready at the time they says When I went to pick up the food they were so friendly and patient. Put the food in the car for me and helped me verify everything way there. Even allowed me to add beverages. Unfortunately I had to dock them one star for the following reasons: First, The meals come in boxes with sides. Sandwiches come with these amazing homemade potatoes chips and pasta salad. Salads come with bread and a cookie. I asked one of the chefs if i could add a dozen cookies. He says "sure", and goes in the back and seems to be complying with my request. Then one of the other staff members comes out and says are you sure you want to add cookies. All the meals come with them. I'm like, are you sure. Because the other guy seemed to indicate that it wasn't the case. She says yes. So I skip my cookie order. Come to find out. All the entrees. DO NOT come with cookies. Secondly, 2 people ordered chicken Caesar salads. They were about $15. The company forgot the chicken even after I saw them verifying the order. Overall, good food and food service read more

See all

Me and my friend order from here every 2 months after school and it's the best. We chose this catering company because the food is the highest quality of food and the chef at this location are so nice! It always smells good and I feel like I could eat their entire menu all at once! The food is super good and I would easily recommend this over the other catering places because this is actually really good! Everything here is great! read more

I catered my sons 3rd birthday from here, and it was great. We got a fajita spread, Mac n cheese, and parm chips. The fajitas were tender and stayed moist the while day. Mac n cheese I got for the kids, it was so good all the adults ate it first. Everyone was complimenting the parm chips. I did a pick up order. It was very easy and they helped put everything in the car, Jasmine was great helping me with my order and answering all my questions since this was my first time ever getting catering. The servings they give you are large i had a lot of food left over. I will be catering from here again in the future read more

Always reliable. Always great prices, bundles and deals. I've only had some recent billing inconveniences but they were small in the scope of overall service. read more

Saint Germain catered our wedding last weekend, and they were STELLAR. I know the struggle of finding an affordable wedding caterer with amazing food, and I *adamantly* recommend them to any couple. (They might be the industry's best-kept secret, and I don't expect them to stay that way for long...) For starters, I looked at over 30 different caterers in the DMV area. Almost ALL of them were woefully over-budget, so when Saint Germain promptly replied to my email with the best quote, I was extremely skeptical - even with the great reviews on Yelp and WeddingWire. After attending five tastings at other caterers (the ones where you're seated with 20 other couples enjoying lackluster food), I cautiously decided to give Saint Germain a try. We were blown away. We met Sarah in their industrial kitchen, at a beautiful table set up solely for us and our tasting guests (we forgot to bring anyone). She led an authentic, down-to-earth conversation about what we envisioned for our big day, the restaurants and type of food we love, etc. She embraced our budget and never once seemed to pressure us or upsell anything. Meanwhile, Chef Alika personally crafted and presented each dish to us. The food was DELICIOUS - far and away, better than anything we tried anywhere else. Chef Alika has formidable credentials of catering large-scale, VIP events - and the chops to prove it. We so appreciated him taking the time to discuss the inspiration behind each dish and suggest ways we could tailor it to our individual preferences. As soon as we walked out, we both said we'd found our caterer. At every point leading up to our wedding, Sarah was attentive and immediately responsive to our needs. Her flexibility and upbeat, can-do attitude gave this scatterbrained bride some much-needed calm and reassurance. Even when bad weather changed our whole wedding plan, Sarah was unfazed and figured out a backup plan where her team could prepare the food and keep it warm, even with rain and extreme cold outside. I was (obviously) busy the day of the wedding, so I regret that I didn't get to see Sarah, Chef Alika and their team in action. But when it was time for dinner, I walked into the banquet area to see the tables beautifully appointed with linens that perfectly matched our colors. When we hit a snafu of realizing the tables didn't have enough room to accommodate the "family style" serving platters we had requested, the team pulled an audible and seamlessly began serving each guest individually. Best of all, everyone RAVED about the food. Even my grandmother and father (legit cooks and constant food critics) said it was phenomenal food by any standard; they ate the leftovers the next two days. We're SO happy we went with Saint Germain. To be able to have a wedding dinner that exceeded everything we envisioned, was wonderful. But being able to offer delicious hors d'oeuvres, steak, chicken, potatoes, and vegetables within our budget (without all the nickle-and-dime fees of other caterers) truly made the experience spectacular. Hoping this helps out any brides and grooms-to-be! read more

Saint Germain caterered a morning orientation for the office I work as a receptionist in. Needless to say, it was a magical surprise to see the bevy of amazing baked goodness that the caterer brought through the door this morning! From bagels to crossaints, danishes and sticky buns, they had the indulgent side covered, natch. Thankfully, there were was also a great fruit bowl - just to even things out. Service was friendly and I received compliments all morning, as if I had labored over the oven myself! read more

Lunch is provided during our monthly staff meeting and today the food was from Saint Germain catering. I have to say that it was delicious! My first thought was that it was from Corner Bakery (which also has scrumptious food) before I took a look at the wrapper... We had Caesar salad, baked chips, sandwhichs, wraps, dessert and soda. I would give Saint Germain five stars, but I was disappointed not to find any tuna in our assortment of sandwiches and wraps. As someone with dietary restrictions, these variety trays usually provide a challenge... Tuna is a great solution and usually a staple choice. read more

I've used this small, personable company twice. I host a philanthropic wine tasting for approximately 16 people each year in May and two years ago, I decided to use St. Germain. I live in a typical 1950s Arlington Ranch House so there is not grandiose space nor is there a Foodie's kitchen. Since I do entertain quite a bit, I have my own plates, glasses and silverware so i have never inquired as to whether the company could provide me with those items. What I did ask them to provide: prepared appetizers paired with the wines that I was serving. Each year, the pairings were remarkably good and the food, plentiful. Prosciutto wrapped around melon paired with sauvginon blanc, beef tenderloin drizzled with homemade horseradish creme fraiche paired with malbec..... lovely pairings, delicious food. What I did not anticipate was the level of attentive service I would receive. I asked for a helper; I was provided a doorman, a waiter, a busboy and dishcleaner.... all the same person. Each year, this person was personable but not overly chatty, helpful but not intrusive, punctual and diligent. The helper served wine, refilled glasses, displayed dishes, passed around platters, picked up trash and washed dishes. St. Germain is a God Send. Amen. read more

Service is always outstanding. I've placed many catering orders with Saint Germain for my company and they are always early/on time. Their portions are huge, so I never have to worry about ordering enough food. And the food quality is always outstanding. Always a pleasure ordering from Saint Germain. No other catering company compares. read more

Service is excellent and their breakfast is delicious! We have only ordered breakfast from them, but it's enough for us to trust them in the future with any other type of order. read more

Thank you to the entire SGC team from the initial telephone order all the way to the plate. TYVM for the fast, friendly service and reasonable prices. SGC catered my mother's 81st bday party with food delivery the day before, as I requested. They included reheating instructions so I could serve the food at mother's leisure. Every detail mattered and they exceeded the standard. The party guests rated the food. On a scale of one to ten, it was a 25. OUTSTANDING. I was pleasantly surprised. The delivery van looked distinguished and professional. It was easy to recognize the food delivery van. The man who delivered was polite, friendly, and kind, and took time to explain how to refrigerate and re-heat the food. I did not feel rushed. SGC gave me the exact order I asked for and more because their delicious seasoning far exceeded my expectations. I HAVE ALREADY PLACED MY SECOND ORDER WITH THEM. I have a large family with picky eaters and I know I can depend on SGC to cater future family events because they loved the food, especially the savory sauces. Thank you, again, everyone on the SGC team. read more

An anniversary party was getting out of hand with many invitees inviting their friends to join in. All of the sudden I had to figure out a way to feed over 120 people who were expecting a multi-course dinner at my house. Called around and many of the local catering places were not interested to talk to me due to timing of the party as well as the size of the party, a few who did would have meant I would have had to get second mortgage on my house to be able to pay for it. Contacted Saint Germain Catering and they listened to me in detail as to what I was exactly trying to do and said they will try to get back to me with a proposal and sure enough in a few hours they came back with a great proposal for multi course dinner party, including the services and all needed dishes and silverware at a very reasonable price. To make the story short, they showed up 30min early, setup in the garage with an amazingly friendly and professional staff and more importantly a very fancy multi-course dinner that made everyone think I had planned this all along .... They are very personal and professional which is great. read more

Our firm uses Saint Germain Catering for our webinars, educational classes, depos etc. They are very accommodating and the variety of sandwiches and wraps are delicious.
