We used Guy's (the French proprietor) catering services for our wedding back in October 2009 and it was such a blessing dealing with someone who: a.) knows his food (i.e.,his cheese gougeres were devoured within half an hour of our reception and the cheese platter with the brie wheel lasted us through the night) b.) works within your event budget and delivers exceptional bang for your buck c.) delivers results in the the most professional and efficient way. No surprises that stress you out on the day of your event, just beautifully done catering, which believe me, contributed to one less thing I had to worry about on our wedding day (not having hired an events planner and all). Would recommend to anyone.

Little Piggy Catering provided an amazing Hawaiian themed BBQ for about 200 people at a work event…read moreI planned this past summer. Christabel was incredibly accommodating and professional during the booking process. We wanted to the event to have a Hawaiian theme, but on a nonprofit budget, we couldn't afford a Pig Roast. Christabel created a menu that fit our budget and our theme. It was full of delicious creative takes on summer BBQ favourites, like a Yam and Potato Salad and Naturally Raised Porchetta Carvey served with Orange Cilantro Mojo. She also was ready with great alternatives for people with dietary restrictions. The onsite staff were friendly, punctual, and super accommodating. We were running a bit late in the program and they were flexible and kept the food piping hot. Thank-you Little Piggy for helping to make our event so memorable. People always laugh louder and smile bigger when their stomachs are happy!

I confirmed 2 days before the party that everything was set and organized for the 630 pm hot drop off of food. They never showed up, never called, nor answered emails. I still still have not received a call or email nor and explanation or apology. We finally had to get take out at 8 pm. When my husband went to their physical location this morning after 10 am it was unlocked but there was nobody there. The place was a mess with cooked and uncooked food everywhere. Finally a very unkempt person arrived. My husband calmly asked for a full refund. The owners "excuse " was he had a bad day on Saturday and he forgot he had to prepare the dinner for Sunday. From their recent Google reviews I see I am not alone.

But that's also what makes it a bit of a hidden gem. There's a courtyard and a pond right inside the restaurant. The vibe feels like a lodge nestled in a scenic spot. The servers were nice and attentive. The menu was pretty varied too, going beyond basic burgers and sandwiches to include tacos, poke bowls, etc. Overall it was a pleasant experience, but the food fell short compared to specialty spots. It wasn't bad, just not quite good enough to call delicious either. That said, the plating was very appetizing. A nice spot to eat surrounded by quiet, green forest scenery. Just don't go in expecting specialty-restaurant-level flavor.

I've been to the University Club a few times now for school functions and I absolutely love the…read morelocation. It's nestled into the trees outside of the University's ring road and sat a little bit lower on the hill, so it truly makes it feel like a destination in and of itself. When you look out the windows at the fountain in the middle of the pond, or out at the trees surrounding the building on all sides, it adds a certain degree of mysticism and fantasy to the location. The appetizers that this location provides for functions are absolutely splendid. I believe the caterers are university employees as the quality has kept up every time that I've been. Last time around, the food that stood out the most to me was the prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears, which I had on a fun plate full of other delicious, relatively upscale tasters. This visit, I also had the time to go and get an $8 flight with some wonderful beers in it. I had the Hoyne Dark Matter, a Blue Buck, Category 12 Critical Point, and a Fat Tug IPA. I hadn't tried the Critical Point before this and I thought it was incredible. Altogether, I thought that my combination for the flight was a great balance of lights and darks, from hoppy beers to heavy beers. Later that night, after food, I also enjoyed a glass of Peller Estates' Merlot, which I always enjoy. The inside of the Club has a lovely wood cabin feel, which fits the aesthetic of the environment perfectly. They still manage to dress this venue up, however, by using a mix of crisp tablecloths and exposed wood, complete with a gorgeous zen garden in the middle of the building, with windows looking out towards it. For this reason, the Club is shaped like a ring, with windows looking inside towards the garden, as well as outside towards the trees. Lovely building design, complete with a breathtaking environment and great decoration. I'm looking forward to getting some awesome photos of the University Club next time I'm there on a beautiful blue day so that I can back up my initial description because, after all, a photo IS worth 1000 words. ;)
