We first hired Evoke to provide canapés for our gender reveal in August. We were so happy with…read moretheir organization and delicious food that decided to host a 6 course tasting menu with family later that month. Sean and his team are professionals through and through. They were very accommodating for a variety of dietary restrictions including vegetarian, pescatarian and grain/dairy free. All meals were fantastic and prepared with great care using quality local ingredients. We recently arranged a dinner with friends and decided it was easier to hire Evoke once again to avoid the hassle of dining out with a larger group during covid. Sean came up with a delicious 3 course meal that again left a lasting impression on guests. The prices are reasonable and huge value for the portions and quality of food served, and in the comfort of your home, you can't go wrong.

I really wanted to use this caterer because I read great things but when I reached out, the…read morecontact that replied was so short and unwilling to work with me to help me craft something for my small wedding. They had restrictions I was willing to work within but was hoping for some flexibility. Regardless of flexibility or not it would have been nice to chat through ideas. When I voiced my frustration no one responded to me and that was the end of the interaction. Unfortunately I cannot speak to the food since their customer service was so terrible I had to go with another vendor. I honestly never leave reviews but i left this interaction feeling so terrible i wanted to provide my feedback and it was clear the person i was emailing with was not interested in receiving any.

She uses them all the time and had nothing but great things to say so I did. It was fabulous! Not only did everything come on time and beautifully presented but also it was definitely the best tasting office catering I have ever had. The only problem is now I want to try the whole menu which looks incredible! oh and try the Roasted Mushroom + Chicken Carbonara....outta this world!

Some of the pastries included birthday cake, cupcakes, tarts, brownies and etc. They also had coffee and tea served along with water. Service was great.

Yes food was laid out really nicely.

We were bullied by Simply Elegant in to cancelling our contract. We have our event booked at…read moreWaterfront Parks (original venue at Skyline which apparently closed according to Simply Elegant) for July 2021 and they told us around 20 days before our event that there was a scheduling conflict so we cannot have the venue anymore on the date that we're suppose to have our event. They offered us a refund of the venue cost if we move our date, or move us to Venue 308 or Brownstone but with no compensation for the trouble, or full refund to cancel our event. We don't understand how they can double book the venue and choose to kick us out instead. Either they accidentally double booked or a bigger client wanted our date so Simply Elegant chose to boot us out, which was a clear breach of contract. We wanted a refund before (even just 75% of our money back) but they won't let us which I understood because we signed a contract but we asked them anyway just in case they will allow it. But for them to spring the news to us that we will not get the Waterfront Park venue 20 days before our event was so shady. They told us that there was a conflict with the Shriners which was a lie because we checked the Shriners website and they do not have an event at that venue on our date. We were left scrambling and we felt cheated and bullied by this company. We would be okay with them moving us to a different venue if they would just refund us the venue cost but they did not budge. They didn't even try to meet us halfway, they did not want to negotiate. We were suppose to have a skyline view, then they moved us to Waterfront Park which would have given us a lake view (so comparable to our original venue), but now they wanted to move us to another venue with no view - so we felt they should at least compensate us. Changing our date was not an option given how late it is already for us to ask our other vendors and our guests if they can work with that. We chose to support them during the pandemic but as soon as everything opened up, they chose to screw us over. I am 6 months pregnant and the emotional distress they have put me through is unbelievable - especially for a company that is supposed to be a champion in hospitality and client service. We decided to deal directly with the venue that they were going to move us to as I couldn't imagine them still holding our event after how they treated us. As soon as I told them that we would opt for the full refund (after us trying to negotiate and them not making any counteroffers), they told me that they will mail me the cheque - knowing full well that we need the money right away so we can pay the new venue and new caterer. There was no sense of urgency on their end. When we paid them they were etransferred so they received our money instantly, and for the refund they wanted to just mail the cheque. We ended up picking up the cheque and that's how our relationship with them ended. They're probably just going to delete this review....

I'm giving Alpine a 1 star review because at least the food tasted good (even though it wasn't…read morewarm) and the linens were clean. Other than that I do not recommend hiring Rick and his team for your wedding. Our major issue is that an employee named Edith assured us that the catering team would be there an hour prior to dinner service and they were 50 minutes late. I spoke on the phone with her a week before the wedding to give her final numbers and confirm the timeline verbally. They never asked for a written timeline and never initiated any conversations after I sent the deposit. Red flags in retrospect. The catering team arrived at 5:50 even though dinner service was supposed to be at 6. Instead of coming in quietly they yelled at us from their car "WE'RE HERE" while my husband and I were waiting outside the reception hall with our bridal party to make our grand entrance. The caterers then rushed inside and began set up while the bridal party was walking in and guests were clapping. Normally I wouldn't mind but they ended up bumping into our photographer with a cart and ruining the pictures from that moment. The most upsetting part was how rude and disruptive the caterers were as our family was standing up to deliver heartfelt speeches that would only be heard once in a life time. The serving staff began pushing a noisy cart around and slamming down bread baskets and clanging forks on tables during our Maid of Honor's speech. They came up to the head table to ask us questions in the middle of another speech and I was heartbroken. Imagine waiting years for this moment with your family only to be interrupted and distracted by someone who's showed up late and doesn't care about anyone around them. The most humiliating moment was when my new husband had to get up in the middle of a toast to walk the server to the kitchen and ask her team to please wait 5 more minutes until we were done the speeches. I'd like to say dinner service was great after that but that is so far from the truth. We had to stall our guests another 10 minutes because the food still wasn't set up. When it was set up I was told by a few people that it wasn't warm yet because they had just put it in the food warmers and it didn't have time to heat up. The plated dinners that Edith and Rick promised for the head table were no where to be found so bride, groom and our bridal party served ourselves last after everyone else had eaten. I read some other negative reviews about Alpine staff clearing tables and taking full wine glasses away from guests so I had a conversation with Rick about that when we first paid the deposit. He assured me that he would tell the staff to leave the wine glasses and we could return them with the linens after the event. That wasn't communicated to his staff so we had 4 guests upset because their half full dinner plates were taken from them before they could finish. We also had other guests chasing down staff because their full wine glasses were being taken away. Imagine shelling out $45+ per plate of food and it being snatched up leaving your guests hungry and frustrated. It was pretty embarrassing. If you do decide to hire Alpine make sure you get things on paper and over communicate with them. Many of the things that Rick and Edith promised verbally were not followed through with at all. The gold charger plates that were promised never arrived and that left our table settings feeling bare. The cheesecake flavours they promised were wrong too. Now you're probably wondering why we didn't just tell Rick about all this.... Well, we did. We spoke with him face to face and he was very dismissive. Just repeating "I don't know why they were late, they left here at 4" and then becoming unresponsive when we listed the other repercussions of his team's lateness. Plus, the negative treatment we received on our wedding day. He just didn't care to hear it. We were eventually shuffled out of his office so he could deal with another client. Later, after we had called Edith to discuss why things went wrong, Rick emailed us and let us know he would remove the gratuity from our overall bill. Thanks, Rick, but that's pretty small peanuts compared to the lasting impact your company left on our wedding and the passive-aggressive email you sent us after the fact. I caution anyone considering Alpine Catering, if you want an event to go smoothly and you want to avoid disruptions during your most heartfelt moments, hire a different caterer.
