After seeing so much hype about this place on Facebook, my husband and I had to try this place out…read more We had the Tsunami pasta, which is pink cream sauce with ham, shrimp, lobster, and crab. It was pretty good! The shrimp were huge, and the lobster was plentiful. Seriously, no corners were cut. And the regular portion (which serves 2-3) was enough for left overs! I would absolutely recommend this place if you don't want to cook dinner one night, or need a quick pickup. There are no tables to sit at, but the entrance is warm and welcoming. You can tell the staff is passionate about what they do. This is a real gem added to the Bon Air area. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! Update - After trying to get in touch with this business for a week with VMs left and no return call, not answering phone calls during business hours, I finally was able to get an answer from them on Facebook. I understand that they did not want to provide part of a holiday meal for my event (they wanted me to buy the entire package), but leaving me hanging was really unprofessional.

They are also perfect for taking a complete meal to friends or neighbors when there is a new baby, illness or other life event. They are extremely responsive (I generally contact through FB messenger) and can fulfill "day of" requests. They have also been very accommodating to our family's special dietary needs (e.g., gluten allergy). Everything there is delicious but the Shrimp and Grits and Stroganoff are our family's favorites. I keep an eye out on their FB page for Daily/Weekly specials and Holiday menus! I am so happy to have these folks in our neighborhood. They are warm people who care deeply about what they do, support their community and offer an outstanding product/service that our family values!

We had looked at at least 15 different caterers before landing on Sophisticated Soiree's - we are foodies but the sky wasn't the limit financially so we had a pretty exhaustive search before finding Andrea and her team. Andrea is great to work with, a talented chef and and created delicious, beautiful and unique food for far less than vendors in our immediate area. Andrea came to multiple meetings at our site to discuss menu's and was willing to constantly tweak the menu until it was just right. Our guests were delighted with the food and the servers noted that every plate came back clean- a rarity in the catering world. Speaking of service- it was also impeccable, smooth and well organized. A benefit of working with Andrea is she has strong contacts PartyRentalsVA and we had a real team working with us and the rentals team (Patrick) worked hand in hand with us and Andrea to ensure our vision was complete. The wedding was truly stunning. I would absolutely use Sophisticated Soiree's again.

Everyone we spoke to (venues, coordinators, etc.) recommended Groovin, and as soon as we reached out we understood why - from the very beginning they were incredibly responsive, and happy to answer our many (many) questions. Kaylyn made the planning process easy, helping us to develop a staffing plan to help with the set-up of our venue (The Workshop by T&D, which was also great). Groovin staff came the day before to set up ceremony chairs and then immediately after the ceremony efficiently moved all the chairs to the other side of the venue for dinner. They helped us coordinate rentals with Party Perfect and had all the right answers (and questions) during our on-site venue walkthrough. As for the food itself, everything was delicious! People always tell you that you won't eat at your own wedding, but the food was so good that we sat and ate our entire plates. Guests raved and two friends told us that they even came up with targeted strategies to chase down their favorite hors d'oeuvre when they came out. We especially recommend the pork belly hors d'oeuvre and the szechuan salmon entree. From start to finish, Groovin' was efficient and professional, and we would highly recommend them for any event.

All of the caterers in the area have delicious food and Groovin' provided nothing less than exceptional, but it was their customer service that sets them head and shoulders above the rest.

The table was set beautifully, and dishes were presented exactly as they would be on Wedding Day. We were impressed from the jump, and our love of Groovin only grew once we tried the delicious foods! Throughout the process, Michelle was responsive to my MANY emails and questions, and on wedding day, all of our guests were impressed with the professionalism, kindness, outstanding service, and DELICIOUS food!

From the attentive staff out front and in the gorgeous lobby that makes you think Vegas to the amazing ball room host to amazing weddings it's a simply great facility. Though only here for a few short hours for cocktail hour and a wedding reception I fully designed my own condo on their huge 80 in touch screen in the lobby fully giving you the lay of the land in your new beautiful high rise condo. The lighting is great with huge chandeliers, the carpet is elegant, but rugged, the upper balcony and staircase is detailed nicely, great ventilation and a large stage for performances of all kinds. Did I mention all the marble in the lobby or the bar as well. I've been to dozens of weddings, but this my first here in Richmond, but for an indoor reception and the happiness of the newlyweds along with the cocktail hour, food and drink I have to say this place is a treat and a beauty and something any prospective couple should look at if getting married in RVA.

Land of Saffron is fabulous! They are a Richmond-based food pop up and caterer that serves…read moreauthentic Spanish paella. They offer two styles: traditional with chicken, shrimp, and mussels, or vegan with white truffle oil. Both of course have the usual Spanish rice and vegetables. A heaping portion served in paper bowls costs about $12 and you can add the truffle oil to the non-vegan paella for $1. I first sampled their offerings at the Broad Appetit food festival, and was amazed watching them cook for the masses. I've never seen such a large paella pan in my life! Even with thousands of potential customers milling about, their attention to detail was striking. The seafood and chicken was beautifully and symmetrically laid out in the pan where it cooked, and the staff made sure each scoop had identical servings of protein. Most importantly, the flavor is phenomenal. They have the recipe down to a science, so even in enormous batches both the rice and meat is perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The combination of the tangy rice, succulent proteins, and acid from the peppers makes it very well balanced so no one component overwhelms the others. I also absolutely love the vegan version, which has such a great earthy, luxurious flavor with the white truffle oil. It's umptious, comforting food that leaves you stuffed and satisfied. They do not currently have their own website or Facebook page, but you can find them on Instagram, the AllEvents Richmond website, and on Facebook Events where they're pop ups are announced. They frequent Final Gravity Brewing and/or Ardent Craft Ales every other month or so. The pop up aspect does mean that you can't satisfy your craving whenever it calls, but it makes it feel a bit exclusive. It also feels a bit like a community, because you start to recognize other loyal fans and friends of the owners. I absolutely recommend it to paella lovers and novices alike!
