Worked with Taste for my Aug 2023 wedding. It was such a flawless experience. Chris was the coordinator who worked with my now husband and I. I warned him ahead of time that there would be many voices from our family offering their opinions left and right; well Chris handled all that like a pro! He didn't forget what the wedding couple wanted. He didn't let our family members steamroll over him. Come wedding day, I was hiding in a room somewhere w my husband away from the crowd and Chris secretly fed us signature cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. During reception, he had plates assembled for us so that we wouldn't go hungry. At the end of the night, his team packed us food to go!! Chris and his designer shoes were a godsend. The Chef too was absolutely amazing and gracious with the multiple changes our family made to the menu. Groom and I wanted an elevated Asian fusion menu that went beyond stereotypical panda express type of affair. We not only wanted to incorporate Chinese, Vietnamese, Burmese cuisines, we also threw in vegan, vegetarian, and rare spices that had to be procured from certain vendors. This, for a party of almost 300 people. Yes, we were THAT annoying. But Chris and Chef never gave up on us. We had 2 tastings including dessert/cake. I was so impressed with the tasting experience I thought, "what could top this??" Then on actual wedding day, to see all the incredible food assembled so beautifully for our guests, I was blown away. Food is one of those things people remember weddings by. It can make or break your guest experience. Give too little food and your guest will end up ordering take out to your venue to embarrass you (yes, I know of a wedding where that actually happened). Give older Asian family members mediocre food and they'll never let you live it down. I had countless guests come to me excitedly talking about how incredible the cocktail hour and reception dinner was. Nobody went hungry. Late night bites were also a hit! And can I just say, I have one of the most beautiful wedding cakes I've ever seen. Will be recommending this thoughtful company to everyone I know! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Taste catering to cater our wedding at the Flood Mansion in San Francisco in September 2022. They were such an excellent team! Christopher and Alessandro were rockstars. They were responsive, professional, and super fun! They knew the ins and outs of our venue and provided useful recommendations of floor plans and set up. Most importantly, our event went off without a hitch. The food was delicious, the wine was flowing, and our guests had the best time. I had guests send me texts during dinner raving about how great their entrees were! 10/10 would recommend Taste! read more

My company just had their summer party and I got connected with Taste Catering through our venue. Do yourself a favor and hire them for your events! I have been planning events for years and I have worked with so many talented caterers, but Taste practically did my job for me. They were a one stop shop for food, entertainment, and decorations. They got all my rentals and flowers. They hired a band for my event. When i added two more hours to the party and two more bars they easily accommodated. Christopher, who I worked with is amazing, responsive, and worked with the parameters of my budget. I could not have pulled off this event without them. Their staff was professional and had everything setup and ready to go so quickly. The food was great and beautifully setup. I hope to work with them for many events in the future and I would recommend them to anyone! read more

My catering experience with Taste was excellent. I organized our company summer offsite at the SFMOMA and as is the case with most large venues, they have a list of preferred caterers. I used Yelp to decide, which of the suggested caterers I should be picking and when I saw that a friend of mine had given Taste 5 stars, I was already heavily swaying in their direction. Nevertheless, I reached out to a couple of the suggested caterers and Taste just had the better pitch. They had a much fresher approach...refreshing indeed! The planning for the party was flawless: I told them what I wanted and they gave me good feedback, always keeping the space for the event in mind. I am a person who likes to chat over the phone and discuss things in person - instead of sending copious amounts of emails back and forth and the Taste team was happy to comply with my preference and followed up with a summary email afterwards. The day of event was smooth "as a baby butt": we fed all of the 2000 guests and everyone loved the event. I was especially intrigued with the little beer garden that we created on the 5th floor of the SFMOMA...I felt as if I was back in Germany! A big shoutout for Shannon, Christopher, Quan and the rest of the Taste team...you truly deserve five stars! read more

My review of Taste Catering is a bit overdue. I was highly impressed with the various hors d'oeuvres/appetizers that were provided at a relative's wedding reception. The service was extraordinary and superb, and the employees were top-of-the-line professionals. They were very approachable, answered questions and even allowed me to take photos of what they were presenting. I'm a sushi addict and did they have plenty to offer. I also enjoyed to my heart's delight the filet mignon lettuce wraps, chicken on a crispy ridge chip, miniature pork banh mi sandwich, and the salmon/crab sushi roll. Even the desserts were wonderful...heavenly and delicate were the crepes a l'orange caviar and decadent chocolate ganache (with an essence of Grand Marnier). Bubbly pink champagne served in champagne flutes and wines served in their respective glasses. Water with lemon twist served in water goblets. Overall, I was oohing and aahing at their presentation and I am quite sure all the wedding guests were also doing the same thing...the oohs and the aahs...of a catering business who does things with class and a touch of elegance. C'est tres magnifique! Many thanks to Hayley Seed and the employees of Taste Catering for making this occasion so memorable. This wedding reception was the best that I have ever attended. Y'all did not bomb, but you sure were the "bomb". How I wish I could have given your business a double five star for being "simply the best, better than all the rest", as Ms. Tina Turner would sing. read more

Taste catered our picnic-style welcome party in late September in the Presidio. Overall, the food was really tasty (we did a tex-mex style taco buffet as an homage to my childhood spent in Texas) and they were responsive during the planning process. The only miss was the queso. I had specially requested this appetizer be on the menu and provided a few recipes for reference (given that queso is not common in SF) - but unfortunately it didn't turn out well. It wasn't served in a container that could keep it hot so it turned into a gelatinous clump. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because the weather was frigid, but I was bummed they weren't better prepared to keep the food warm. No issues with the rest of the meal or drinks, so overall I recommend Taste. read more

I recently worked with Taste on getting a gift bag (cheese, crackers and wine) delivery for several guests for a virtual event. An was amazing to work with and was so helpful during the entire planning process. We ordered custom packaging and had it shipped over to Taste; they packaged everything beautifully and delivery was great! Would highly recommend Taste to do hospitality bags for your next event! read more

Fantastic catering with unique and curated dishes. We attended a wedding at the Legion of Honor and the buffet was perfectly paired and well crafted with courses ranging from duck bao, braised short ribs with mushrooms, halibut, and several salads to crispy and flavorful breadsticks. It's a good catering option for an event venue as they are able to curate the menu to suite all dietary preferences. read more

Caution! This catering company was recommended to me by a colleague so I was excited to "taste" their food. I was sadly disappointed! I ordered a hot buffet lunch of the skewers. The salad was wilted, the rice was rice, the shrimp smelled funky, their was very little shrimp or chicken, and both the shrimp and chicken was overcooked and rubbery. And it was expensive! I won't ever order from them again and I do not recommend them read more

BLOWN AWAY. The quality of food that Taste is able to do at scale is unbelievable. I'm definitely a food snob, and the menus they created for our 2-day summit were gourmet, inventive, and beautifully presented (for 150 people!) Christopher is a total pro, on top of managing all the catering & event details so you don't have to worry about a thing. Their pricing is also very reasonable considering the quality of the food and professionalism of their crew. I would recommend Taste for any important event you need food for! Weddings, work events, social gatherings... Taste takes it to the next level. read more

We planned our first event since COVID - outdoors for a group of women in SF. I was a little worried about food since most catering is shareable plates. TASTE had some great options - skewers and mini-sandwiches. I was just happy to have something that worked in these times. I was also a little worried people woudn't want to eat too much since it was just a happy hour. The food exceeded my expectations. Not only were the sandwiches REALLY tasty (tuscan steak, chicken to name a few) but I literally had no food left at the end of the night which meant people loved it and I didn't have to feel guilty about having extra. I would highly recommend TASTE Catering. read more

One of the best decisions I made planning my wedding was choosing Taste Catering. They were an absolute dream vendor to work with, and handled so much more than just the food element - aside from the catering, they also handled all florals and lighting. My venue (a fine arts museum) had strict policies in place for all vendors to adhere to, and Taste managed everything with absolute aplomb. Shannon, Chris, Billy, and Quan were on top of everything at every step of the process. They handled all preparation and day-of execution with total professionalism the entire way through. As for the food itself at the event, everything hit on all cylinders, and the service staff was on point all night. During and after the wedding, I received all kinds of compliments from my guests for the hors d'oeuvres and entrees. Bar service during cocktail hour and the reception was also impeccable. 10/10, I HIGHLY recommend working with Taste for any wedding or private event! read more

Five star company! -Website is easy to navigate -Customer service while ordering was hassle-free -Kept contact through e-mail throughout process -Very friendly service upon delivery/set up -EXTREMELY YUMMY FOOD! I seriously cannot rave enough about this place. The food was phenomenal!! Empanadas were my fave and so were the Fried Chicken sliders. Thank you so much for making my event even more special! read more

Overall, we were pretty disappointed with the service we received from Taste, especially given their extremely high price tag. We had many guests complain to us after the wedding that the bartenders didn't know common drinks and were super slow. They were even slow for making the signature drink, which they could have prepared in advance. This was after they told us they normally charge extra for a signature drink that they could make with the ingredients they were already planning to bring. I don't normally write negative reviews, but I thought others should know that you are not getting what you pay for with them. read more

We used Taste Catering for our wedding at the Log Cabin in the Presidio. The food was delicious, the flowers were gorgeous, and the service was impeccable. Taste did all the set-up and design/flowers for our ceremony and reception. Plus the food, drinks, and cake for our cocktail hour and reception. Our guests gave RAVE reviews as well. Christopher and Cheri were responsive and so helpful throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. They were always quick to respond, ready to provide feedback and support, and so knowledgable. They also worked hard to stick within our budget. They thought of all the big items but also small details like bringing us a plate of hors d'oeuvres and giving us our pates of dinner first to make sure we ate! We cannot recommend them enough! read more

Christopher was awesome!!! We used Taste Catering for our wedding at the SF Asian Art Museum and everything went better than we could have imagined it- the lighting, the flowers, the tables, it was all amazing. Our guests wouldn't stop raving to us about how great the food was. At every table we went to during the night, the first thing out of there mouth was a compliment about how delicious the food was. We had no idea what we were doing when we started planning our wedding, and Christopher really helped shape every piece of it. We felt comfortable the entire time with him & the rest of the team walking us through everything, and loved the way everything turned out. Would definitely recommend! read more

Top notch professionals! I head the Marketing Dept at Huawei. We used Taste for our cocktail party after a trade show with 250 guests. I took a survey of the entire event with our team and Taste got five stars across the board. The event was held at the Terra Gallery in San Francisco. Transportation: Taste arranged for rotating shuttles to pick-up our attendees from the oscone. They had excellent signage and a coordinator on-site to the shuttles. Decorations Buffet tables, linens, registration table, badges, red carpet runner, logo branding about the event, coffee tables and stage. The lighting and branding were great. Menu The food was great. We had appetizers, ceviche bar, U.MA.MI Burger and fry bar. We had 16 service staff that we're professional and did a great job. Entertainment We used the DJ for background music. She did a great job as we were a business crowd and not a dancing group. In summary, we were all pleased with the event and Taste was easy to work with and made our night successful. read more

Taste really sets the standard for caterers! Their staff is wonderful - creative, innovative and fresh. If you're looking to cater a VIP event, wedding or even a small party, you will not be disappointed. With the talent this staff has, your event will be beyond your wildest expectations. Robert Fung, one of Taste's uber creative staff, recently won a gold medal at DIFFA's Dining by Design event in November! With table and flower arrangements that will transform the ordinary to the extraordinary, and food that will please the most distinguished palate, you won't go wrong with hiring these geniuses!! read more

A M A Z I N G ! ! ! From start to finish..... absolute heaven and worth every penny (no joke) I had to host a holiday party for my company. We're still rather small but big enough that going to a restaurant for just dinner didn't seem like a good option. Anyway, I was referred over to Taste from Lunar Design and OMFG I'm blown away. Curtis was my event manager and he was more than patient and knew exactly what I was looking for. He asked all the right questions and followed up with me to make sure things were set up properly. He sent over the menu and when I compared it to the other caterers menus, we HAD to go with Taste. They were in 2 hours before the event, stayed out of the way when needed and were there RIGHT when you needed something. They were on point for everything. I didn't have to lift a finger (even for non catering related stuff). They followed up and gave warnings for the courses (so I could prep the guests to be ready for them) and really paid attention to the flow of the event. Everything was flawless. Presentation was beautiful and the level of professionalism was incredible. This was the my first holiday party for my company and Taste, you guys made me look GOOD. Thank you, thank you, thank you... If you want fine dining for a private setting with super attentive servers and bartenders, a full event manager and catering manager, these guys are top notch. I've had catering done before but never like this. These guys have pretty much ruined it for anyone else.. (for me anyway) Also, their apple tart (something or another) TO DIE FOR. I will be dreaming of that dessert for days..... read more

We initially started planning our wedding in 2019, and selected Taste Catering from our venue's short-list of available caterers. We were blown away by the quality of the food at our tasting, and so impressed with everyone we worked with, especially Christopher. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, our March 2020 wedding did not happen as planned, but Christopher and Taste were so supportive and accommodating, and held on to our entire contract for us until we were finally able to reschedule our wedding in 2022. The new event was 100% worth the wait. The food and service were impeccable, and everyone from the team was a delight to work with. You could not possibly make a better choice for your event than to work with Taste. read more

Taste Catering was one of the vendors at a recent party I attended. I can not speak to their prices or what it is like to work with them. I CAN tell you that the food was delicious!! The chicken sandwich with specialty chips = yummy! Macaroons and salty, chocolate caramels = DIVINE! So, so, so delicious. If they had a permanent restaurant, I'd totally eat there. read more

five-star pricing for a four-star experience. I'm being honest. I paid for the event and chose Taste for a 5-star experience and paid a 20% premium for the opportunity. read more

I attended a wedding in Napa 5/15/15 that was catered by Taste Catering. The food was amazing. I would highly recommend them for any future event. Each course was more delicious than the last, it was the best meal I have ever eaten. I intended on taking a photo of each course but only managed two pictures because I was so wrapped up in the moment. read more

After interviewing a number of high-end caterers in SF, I chose Taste to cater my wedding at the Asian Art Museum. I'm a big foodie and it is my ultimate wedding fear that the food at my wedding will suck like so many banquets, bland rubber chicken or dry fishy fish anyone?? It isn't easy to cook for 150 people, especially at a venue with super strict load-in/load-out timing. Taste won me over with a tasting that rivals any good restaurant in SF. I asked for Asian/Latin fusion and they customized a truly creative menu, including gems such as Koji beef tacos and ahi tuna in crisp seaweed cups as appetizer. The closer was the dessert buffet, truly amazing, including miniature eight treasure rice cake for my Chinese heritage and white chocolate tequila pops for his. Outstanding personalization with execution to rival any fine dining establishments in this food centric city. After interviewing a number of SF florists, I went with Billy at Taste for his understanding of our modern but classic vision and his creative interpretation of my ideas, talk about value addition! Christopher and Hayley at Taste are a joy to have on my wedding team and the final result truly blew me away, above and beyond my expectation in every way. I received an over-whelming amount of compliments on the food and decor from wedding guests gushing about everything for weeks after the wedding. I literally cannot imagine a catering company doing any better than Taste. Certainly, they were not cheap, but very competitive in its class. I recommend Taste 110% and cannot thank them enough for delivering perfect food, service and floral design. Weddings are stressful events, you want a professional team that knows how to deliver under crazy circumstances. Don't hesitate, you are in good hands with Taste! read more

Taste took care of basically everything for our 150-person garden wedding. Christopher was everything we needed in a point-person: responsive, helpful, upbeat, and organized. He was extremely sensitive to the particular needs of our family, and from our first interaction, it seemed as though he could make anything and everything work. This level of courtesy and professionalism is what one would hope for and expect from any high-end catering service, and yet the other company we were considering utterly failed to deliver this. What really made the team extraordinary, though, was the tremendous day-of staff. The whole catering crew did a tremendous job making sure everyone was fed, that the place looked spotless, and best of all everyone appeared to be HAPPY. I was amazed when I saw the photos that every single staff member in the background was smiling! Thank you Christopher and Taste, you all have an excellent team and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone and everyone! read more

Oh, Taste! You've ruined me for all other caterers. You set an impossible standard. Seriously, I'm not really ruined. There are lots of other caterers I like. But Taste consistently delivers excellent food, lovely presentation and elegant service. I recommended them to my mother-in-law who hosts lots of little events for friends and family (my bridal shower!). And she's been using them for every party since. And though my personal party budgets don't allow me to hire Taste, at least I get invited to my MIL's to enjoy all the deliciousness! read more

Taste Catering did a phenomenal job for my wedding! In addition to catering, they also provided services for our floral, lighting and event planning. Our wedding was at the California Academy of Sciences and they really blew us away. From the get go they were super responsive and it was really clear that they wanted us to enjoy the day. What I loved about their process is they really wanted to get to know me and husband and the types of flavors and foods we loved. After that, we had an initial tasting with them and they really surprised us! We walked into a room with a table that looked exactly how we envisioned our venue decor to look like. The food was delicious and the mini dessert bar we requested was fantastic. What I really appreciate about them is that we had a few extra special requests and they were able to pull it off! It was surprising, but I appreciated the fact that they nailed it and made it quite clear that they were going to be our caterer. They made planning super easy. There was constant communication via email and it was always nice to get an update. Their presentations were extraordinarily professional and you can tell they really get you know as a couple so they can enhance your experience by adding little touches here and there. There was a small hiccup during the planning process because the vendor did not have enough of the original table cloths that we chose, but it was easily solved and in fact their idea of having two different types of table cloths made the sea of tables pop and it ended up looking even better. The day of the event went so well. If there were issues, my husband and I didn't really notice it all. Catering: The food was so amazing. Everyone kept telling us it was delicious and filling. There were no plates that had leftover food. Floral: My wedding bouquet was gorgeous. It was exactly what I asked for. I wasn't planning on saving it, but I ended up getting it freeze dried because I loved it that much! The bridesmaids bouquets were gorgeous, simple and I liked how they weren't super heavy. My mother and mother in law really loved their corsages. They were beautiful and it made them stand out. The arrangements on our dinner tables were picture perfect. The design was exactly how we envisioned it. Lighting: The lighting helped bring everything together. When I look at the pictures, the lighting made a big difference. It helped my pictures pop and added depth to them. Planning: While Taste didn't do our day of planning, they recommended someone to us. I can say with certainty that they really went above and beyond because they usually don't provide this service. However, I am grateful to them that they helped us with this because it went so smoothly. In general, they're amazing and worth every single penny. They helped us make the most important of our lives one of the best. I highly recommend! Shannon, Quan, Christopher, Billie (and team) you are the best. Thank you so much! read more

We chose Taste catering for our wedding this past October. We had already been to a different catering company and it didn't seem like a good fit, so Christopher at Taste was wonderful enough to fit us in their schedule. When designing our menu they put together a wonderful afternoon to taste of all of the possibilities. We also had their design team put together all of the florals the design of the tables at the reception. They have a whole team to take care of everything you could possibly imagine. I was especially impressed with Cheri in the design department. She was able to make wonderful suggestions and come up with an outstanding design. She was also so warm and friendly through such a stressful process. During the wedding there were a few misses that we had requested. We had requested a certain number of tiers on the cake and it was off, also the set up of chairs during the ceremony were not placed correctly. I had also requested to have my own server throughout the evening and did not have that. However these were details that in the final draft of the contract we had missed ourselves. So my suggestion is to check a million times over if certain details are really important to you. We had such a wonderful experience working with great professionals. They have been around for a long time and definitely know how to coordinate a wedding. All of our guest said it was the best food that they had ever experienced at a wedding, and I know we would not have been able to do such a special day without them! Special thanks to Christopher from very picky clients!! read more

Working with Taste made our wedding day flawless. After the venue selection, our 2nd priority was to chose a caterer and I can't express how happy we were to have them as our caterer. Starting from the beginning proposal period, Shannon was helpful in keeping our budget in mind, yet still giving us a one-of-a-kind culinary menu. Then going into the planning period and our wonderful tasting experience. Shannon and team made the whole process easy since we didn't have a planner. We used Taste for their catering, desert bar, alcohol, and drapery services, although their capabilities go above and beyond that. Chris stepped in when Shannon was off on maternity leave and he helped execute all of our wishes leading up to the big day. I would get married at least 5 more times to experience the appetizers again. We had the crab bisque, pork sliders, poke, fish tacos, and filet mignon all in the perfect bite size. For dinner we had a buffet to keep it a little less formal, and to wrap it up Taste did our desert bar as well. Shannon and Chris made sure we had a plate of the apps ready after our photos and they also assigned a server to us all night who did not disappoint. I could be bias since it was my wedding, but feedback from our guests confirm that Taste was one of the best!! We were 100% satisfied with our experience with Taste and their professionalism to make our wedding day not only flawless, but stress free! I would recommend them to anyone having an event in San Francisco if you want the A Team. read more

Taste provided the catering for my wife's birthday this past Saturday at Thomas Fogary Winery. Every guest left with three impressions, my wife is wonderful, Thomas Fogarty is a pretty spectacular place to have a party and Taste is by far the BEST caterer I have ever used. The food was fantastic and the service over the top. These guys simply get it. Thank you Taste, we will work with you again. read more

We had Taste cater an 80-person party with full bar and passed hors d'oeuvres. Wayne helped us craft a menu and guided us in making the right decisions on number of staff, finger-friendliness of the food, etc. On the day of the event, Anthony and his crew showed up. They set up in the garage so as not to impede the flow of guests through the house, and put the bar out in the garden. They did an awesome job -- the food was great, the service superb, and everyone was friendly and very professional. For our next event, there's no question about shopping around for someone else. Taste is the best! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Taste. I hired them for a client event / cocktail party at Varnish gallery. There were there, set up, ready to go before I even arrived. Plus - they asked ME what else they could do to help set up - and happily agreed to help fold 150 t-shirts. Food was amazing, presentation and service was great. They asked me to identify the VIPs for the night and ensured they got impeccable service; touches like that really set them apart from other caterers. I would highly recommend.... read more

Caterers to the stars, and for good reason, their attention to detail is impeccable, and the quality of their food is far better than most of what passes for fine dining in the city. Quality does come at a price however. http://www.tastecatering.com/ read more

Kudos to Yigit Pura of Taste Catering for bringing the Top Chef Just Desserts crown to San Francisco. I have to admit, I have a bit of Yigit Fever. For our office holiday party we did a dessert pot-luck and the winner got an autographed headshot of Yigit. Taste was their agent were very gracious to fill my off-the-wall request, and cordial in doing so. read more

Delicious organic food, impeccable presentation, and original, well thought-out menus to suit even the most discerning palate... I could go on and on. Marisa was our coordinator and from our first consultation, through the multiple tastings, to our actual wedding day our whole experience with her was a joy. She handled everything with aplomb and a smile. Let Taste and Marisa handle your next event and you -- and your guests -- will not be disappointed. read more

Great healthy lunch options with a friendly staff.

Taste Catering is amazing. No "and, ifs or buts" about it. If you need a caterer to help make an event special, delicious, creatively personalized and unforgettable, look no further. Taste recently catered a retirement party for a dear friend. We wanted it to be perfect and Taste made the event surpass even our wildest hopes. They had champagne abd strawberry lemonade ready to be served at the walk outside the house, selected glamorous table clothes (perfect for the occasion), painting-worthy floral bouquets in luscious colors and elegant arrangements and the flow of the room they created involving the bar, cafe tables and buffet worked so naturally that mingling, munching and toasting were a breeze. Let's talk food - - it was delectable, refreshing and creative - yummy mini fish tacos with a zesty sauce, caviar brioche boxes, a brilliant spin on peas and carrots comfort food, corned beef sliders...the desserts were personalized and Taste even made cupcakes original and thrilling. Yes, thrilling cupcakes! Guests were oohing and ahhing! Logistically, working with Taste was a relief. Next time I want an event to be special, my first and hopefully only call will be to Taste. read more

Haley and the team at Taste catered our wedding and were absolutely amazing! Every aspect, every minute detail was absolutely perfect. The food was incredible, the floral arrangements, lighting, the day of event coordinator, Christopher was incredible. A true pro. The 5'2" Challah and especially the service were amazing! The entire process from planning, revising, site visits, blueprints, lighting, etc. was handled with ease and always with a smile and a "can do" attitude. You would be hard pressed to find a more professional, genuinely nice and attentive team than you will at Taste. read more

I was a bit worried about having to pick from only a few caterers that our venue allowed, but we were lucky because I'm not sure we would have found Taste otherwise. You generally don't go to a wedding for the food, but our guests said the food was great - best wedding food they had had. I also had about 10% of attendees who had dietary restrictions - including my very complex allergies. They handled it all with grace and one of our guests said they repeatedly checked on her to make sure the food was okay for her dietary issues. They also did our lighting, flowers and cake which made things much easier. And since this was a relatively new venue, they worked really closely with the venue. You could tell they were taking our event seriously which is exactly what you want in a caterer on your wedding day. read more

We attended an event this past weekend where the wait staff was totally lacking, along with the food. The staff spent most of their time talking to one another (or on their cells) and not serving the tables but let's start at the beginning. The 4 appetizers were very small, thumb-nail size bites, but that turned out to be a good thing, as they weren't very good. The tuna sashimi served in tiny mini glasses was warm and off in flavor and the Thai chopped beef tiny bite was also flavored poorly. The bar servers didn't bring many guests their requested drinks and the bartender declined 2 guests, who were simply requesting a beer, saying they were closing up. Even if they were told to close up, they could have served the 2 drinks. With the exception of one or two servers ( I wish I knew their names ) most of the servers and wait staff were more interested in their private conversations or checking their cell phones. It was particularly funny that one in particular, an older white-haired man, asked, as he was actively clearing the plates, if we were done. Those plates had no food on them. Everyone was hungry because portions were weight watcher's size. Bread baskets should be left on the tables, not served individually, one piece of bread at a time, wasting a server's time. The dessert buffet of exceptionally tiny, again thumb-nail size bites, was mediocre at best. Several of the desserts, served on the buffet, should've been cold but were either warm or room temp. They were lacking in flavor. Additionally there were only about 20 dessert plates, at the onset, not nearly enough. When I overheard a guest ask a server for a dessert plate, the server replied there were none, "use a napkin." A crescent-shaped cookie was awful, a coconut banana teeny bite was also terrible, all the tiny pie shells were pre made from a major food company, not home made. The dinner salad was OK but overdressed. The surf ( 2 shrimp) and turf ( 3 oz fillet serving ) were fine but nothing special. People finished it because they were hungry. The staff didn't seem to care how the food was served. There were no smiles or warmth, with two exceptions. I didn't see one person who appeared to be in charge. read more
