We all fawn over the gorgeous crudite platters. It's a feast for your eyes for sure. Beyond the amazing food, the service is top notch. Great communication from Kristen, and super thoughtful after-service follow through. We order a lot of lunches at my office, and Plates and Bowls is a frequent request. Love the song title names of their lunch spreads, too.

For my son's High School Graduation Dinner, I was looking for a dining option that would…read moreincorporate seamlessly in the busy day. Knowing everyone would be tired and hungry after the graduation ceremony, I wanted to have the dinner follow immediately after the ceremony without having the formality and structure of restaurant dining nor the extra work of picking up food from a restaurant. I found Party in a Box on-line and was impressed by the breadth and sophication of the menu items with a price point that was very competitive with the other options I was evaluating. Chef Dawn responded to my initial inquiry the same day. She answered my basic questions and provided a quote by the following morning. She suggested further refinements to the menu to ensure we satisfied all my guests' varied tastes. Food was delivered and setup in my back yard before we arrived home from the ceremony. Warm dishes were kept on chafing plates and the other items were covered to stay cool. The presentation was beautiful (orchid flowers garnished some of the platters). And the food was devine! Everyone raved about it as they ate seconds and thirds. The best part was we had leftovers for the following day. Nothing went to waste! Party in a Box elevated my small graduation dinner into a memorable and beautiful event. The quality, the value, and service was world class and I look forward to using Chef Dawn's Party in a Box for my next special event.

She promptly returned my emails, answered my calls, and gave me great guidance when I asked her about set up, food amount, etc. I ended up doing a full-service themed buffet, and I'm so glad I did. The Fork in the Road crew took care of everything! (Shout out to Natasha, Andrew, and Lana!) They set up a gorgeous display and food just kept magically appearing. They gauged the crowd to see when they should start and stop tray passed hors d'ourvres, when they should start buffet service, and when to clean up. They cleaned everything up like they had never even been there, and packed up all the extra food and put it in my fridge. This crew knew what they were doing and took care of everything! I wish I had pictures to share but I was so busy mingling and not worrying about catering that I completely forgot! I am definitely using them the next time I need a caterer.
