    a skillet of food
    Stephanie T.

    Having the unlikely Spaniard as our caterer for our wedding in Port Gamble was one of the best decisions we made! Rarely is food a highlight of a wedding, but the Unlikely Spaniard is still talked about months later. Many raved about it and the only disappointment of it was there were no leftovers! We highly recommend Preston and his team at the Unlikely Spaniard as the paella is gourmet and their presentation is first class. We look forward to having another event someday and asking the Unlikely Spaniard to cater for us again!

    Paella, wonderful!
    Liz S.

    We were so fortunate to find the Unlikely Spaniard! We asked about having a small party catered, and were able to arrange for a drop off, which included set up of a lovely meal, including a wonderful array of cheeses, salami and other cured meats, and delicious bruschetta to start, a nice salad and the highlight-a spectacular paella. A truly memorable meal to celebrate a special birthday, in a special place. And very easy to arrange! The whole evening was perfect!

    Preston made our wedding amazing and unforgettable! We received a lot of compliments on every single thing he prepared. He helped us transition our guests from appetizers to dinner and dessert and everyone was very impressed. Would highly recommend

    The Unlikely Spaniard catering is an experience. It is very special how they cook the food live at the event, outside where guests can witness the entire process...which, may I say, is quite intriguing because the paella pans are huge (depending on the amount of guests). They catered our wedding of under 100 people. It was a very "homey" feel, having the food cooked within sight, where the guests can pass by while mingling and drinking...it's a great conversation piece. More importantly, the paella tasted really amazing! It was hot, fresh and truly flavorful. We particularly ordered the Paella Valenciana, Fideua de Gandia, and the Vegetarian Paella--all excellent and also made for a beautiful, colorful spread. And we also had their appetizers, which were a sophisticated spread of meats, breads, cheeses and more...a yummy start to the meal. Lastly, Preston was a dream to communicate with during the planning process, and great to meet in person. I am very grateful to have found The Unlikely Spaniard. I felt it was a unique, delicious and memorable part of our wedding.

    For the last four years, I've been hoping for a chance to have Ambrosia cater one of our family…read morecelebrations. When we started planning our son's baptism, I actually scheduled the reception around their availability because I knew it would be worth the wait. From the beginning, Ronda was so kind, genuine, and wonderful to work with. She made us feel like she truly cared about making our family's day special. Our reception was at Courter Country Farm, and even the venue had nothing but wonderful things to say about Ambrosia. After experiencing it ourselves, I completely understand why. The food was incredible. Every single thing was exactly what we had envisioned, and guests kept coming up to tell us how amazing everything tasted. The prime rib was hands down the best I've ever had. That's saying something because I make prime rib every Christmas and consider myself pretty picky (especially my husband)! Somehow Ronda managed to make it even better, and her horseradish sauce had the perfect spicy kick that we absolutely loved. What stood out most, though, wasn't just the food, it was how much heart went into everything. You could tell this wasn't just another catering job. It felt like she genuinely wanted our family and friends to have a beautiful experience, and she delivered exactly that. Our son's baptism is a day we'll remember for the rest of our lives, and Ambrosia played a huge part in making it so memorable. We felt incredibly blessed to celebrate with so many people we love while serving food that everyone is still talking about. If you're fortunate enough to find an opening on Ambrosia's calendar, don't hesitate. I completely understand why they're booked so far in advance, and after waiting four years myself, I can honestly say they exceeded every expectation. I'll be sharing photos soon, but I couldn't wait to write this review. Thank you, Ronda, for helping make one of the most meaningful days in our family's life even more special.

We got a yummy salad with homemade ranch, crab dip with heart shaped baguettes, tri tip steak which I wish was a little more medium rare then well but that's just me , mashed potato's, green beans with bacon and some delicious Carmel apple crisp ! Everything was so perfect ! We ate the entire thing. Saved the wine since we like a little bit sweeter wines but are excited to try this one . Everything was adorable with the heart shaped crisps and bread. We are so great-full that we found this wonderful place. The customer service was outstanding and definitely went above and beyond . I drove from port orchard to poulsbo during the snow to get here which was worth it ! Thank you for amazing service !

From start to finish, my experience with this catering company was nothing short of excellent. Firstly, the communication and planning process with Mitchell was seamless. He helped me taper down my breakfast menu items to fit the number of attendees. I tend to order too much (it is better to have too much than not enough and run out), but he assured me the quantities he suggested for my group size were just the right amount of food. On the event day, the catering team arrived well in advance, set up everything beautifully, and was ready for our starting time right on the dot! The presentation of the food was elegant, showcasing their attention to detail. Communication along the way (the many emails I sent to ask questions) was promptly answered. The food was outstanding, and the catering staff were a delight to work with. Enrique was on time and professional and set it up just the way I requested. His attention to detail, from ensuring dietary restrictions were accommodated to the food place cards identifying each item. I highly recommend THE CATERING COMPANY! They are my number one go-to cater when I need a breakfast or a lunch set up. I like the convenience of checking their calendar online to see if the dates I want are available. They will exceed your expectations and leave your guests raving about the delicious food. Seed IP Law Group loves your catering company!

I had the 1/2 beef brisket sandwich and it was the real deal. The pitmaster said he'd had it in the smoker for 18 hours. You could taste every delicious hour. Chopped brisket with a nice smoky flavor served on a small bun. They had squeeze bottles of their housemade BBQ sauce. I chose the Tasty Texas (I think that's the name) which a lady said was their spiciest. It wasn't spicy at all to me but it was thick, rich, and oh so good. Secondly, I'm very frustrated with them because I can't walk into a restaurant to eat more of their Q. I have to wait for special events and look to see if they'll be there. Just so happens I tried the brisket sandwich of another well-known BBQ guy yesterday at another local festival. I was very disappointed because it didn't taste like real BBQ. I'm a home smoker and I know how to make great BBQ brisket and pork ribs. So trust me when I say again that All Fired Up is the real deal. Be sure to check them out if they're at a booth someplace. Next time out I'm trying their baby back ribs. If you're planning a catered event and want top quality BBQ definitely give them a call.

For my event, which was a casual evening gathering, they provided a wonderful spread of pork belly sliders, black truffle mac n cheese, and a full charcuterie board, among many other items, that looked as beautiful as it tasted. What set them apart from other caterers was their attention to detail - they came early to set up the food stations and made sure everything was constantly refilled and beautifully presented throughout the event. Heirloom delivered incredible food with 5-star service. Their coordination, communication and professionalism exceeded my expectations at a very reasonable price point.

I honestly don't know how I would have done this without them! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars.

The sour cream makes it creamy, which I didn't hate. Meat was tender and flavorful. The biggest surprise, though, was the four tortilla -- it was perfect! Tender but held it together. Super thin, as it should be. The whole package was tasty and big enough. It came with corn tortilla chips on the side, which I didn't expect -- they were surprisingly good! Seemed freshly fried. Impressive! With the chips, it's a crazy amount of food. You definitely wont be hungry after.
