I was taking a mental health day from work last week and just had to get outside and enjoy the…read morespring air. I researched local eateries that had outdoor seating and made my way down to Zuzu's. Though most of the tables were roped off to the side, I noticed a couple open ones in the front, so I proceeded. The small shop is quaint and cute, but the menu is ample. The sandwich selections sounded scrumptions and I had a hard time picking just one. I finally settled on the French Chicken that includes grilled chicken, goat cheese, asparagus, tomato, greens and herb mayo. You get your choice of panini, sandwich bread or a wrap. Not many places offer flavored wraps and I am happy to report that Zuzu's does (white, wheat or spinach). I got the spinach. I asked the worker if the patio was open and she directed me to the same two patio tables I had seen when I first approached. She seemed a little stressed or preoccupied, but no matter, I was content to enjoy the day. I waited at my table for the sandwich to arrive and got to do some people watching along main street in the crisp air. My sandwich arrived in less than 10 minutes and I dived right in. Delicious! I love how it was laid out, every layer provided an even bite. I'm a sucker for anything with goat cheese on it, so it was already a win, but I hadn't seen the asparagus listed on the menu, so I was a little taken aback. But I have to say that it provided a perfect little crunch. The chicken was tender and the herb aioli was uplifting. I read a previous review about the Zuzu's pickles, and I have to agree. I actually make my own pickles at home and would prefer a more fresh sliced pickle on the side than the one that was provided. Overall, my first time at Zuzu's was a 4 star experience, and I look forward to enjoying many more delectable menu items!

This past weekend I got some catering from Zuzu's Cafe for a family event. Dawn and I communicated…read moreby email for the ordering, followed by a quick phone call to confirm. The day of, I picked up the food cold and heated it myself according to Dawn's instructions, and every item we ordered was fantastic. Literally every single person at the party remarked on how great it all was. I highly recommend Zuzu's for any catering needs, and thank Dawn for helping me pull together a successful family event. She couldn't have been nicer or easier to work with (even when I was inadvertently slightly a jerk during pickup because of a previous and completely unrelated interaction I had had earlier that day). We're very likely to order again.

If you're craving real BBQ, this place delivers! I ordered a platter that came with ribs, brisket,…read morepulled pork, mac & cheese, and cornbread, and every bite was worth it. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender with a smoky glaze that had just the right balance of sweet and savory. The brisket was juicy and flavorful with a nice smoke ring, and the pulled pork was perfectly shredded and packed with flavor -- it didn't even need extra sauce (though their BBQ sauce on the side is delicious). The sides were just as good as the meat. The mac & cheese was creamy, cheesy, and comforting, and the cornbread muffins were soft, slightly sweet, and a great balance to the smoky meats. Portions were very generous, the food was still hot when it arrived, and everything tasted freshly made. Overall, this was one of the best BBQ meals I've had in a long time, and I'll definitely be ordering again! Highly recommend if you're a BBQ lover.

The roll is semi statle (dried out) and the meat was dry too. Fries- a handful were thrown in. A small condiment cup of slaw was very good. No napkins or utelsils either. Not impressed.

From the start Jessica from Vinwood was the most responsive of any caterer we contacted. She was very professional and easy to work with. As the wedding date approached we also worked with Gary who was great to work with and was a wonderful day of the wedding manager. He took the worry out of anything before it became a concern. They were both awesome to work with. The entire staff at the wedding were great. The chefs, waiters and waitresses as well as the bus boys and clean up crew to the bartenders were all professional, friendly and extremely helpful. The food, what can I say about the food...The kids wanted a bbq and Vinwood offers various buffet themed events. We went with the Western BBQ which included salad, bread, steak tips, ribs, sausage, chicken, corn and potato salad. All were excellent and our guests were raving about the food. There was something for everyone which was great. Prices for the buffet were very reasonable and lower than some that we looked into. All in all we expected great food with professional service and Vinwood delivered. We are very glad we went with them, they made the wedding very special.

Not only was the food delicious but they do the little things that matter a lot.

They got my had hot food on the table for my guests in fifteen minutes. They were friendly, helpful and effective from the tasting to the very end of the wedding day, when the staff went above and beyond to help politely usher guests out of the venue so we could make our curfew on time. Lori and her team are pros. They knew what we wanted and they executed. They even provided a private dinner for my husband and I so that we could have what we heard was impossible: actually enjoy our wedding meal and spend some quality 1:1 time together on our special day. At the tasting, Lori brought out a meal we hadn't even ordered: their melt-in-your-mouth short rib. My dad and my husband tried it and after one bite, they knew we had to have it on the menu. Most of our guests got it, and it was a smash hit. I had their incredible baked haddock with mashed potatoes and green beans almandine -- out of this world. The signature salad was perfect. Our vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free guests were delighted by their Mediterranean pasta dishes and food allergy guests were accommodated and well fed, as well, from apps to dessert. The bar served up our signature drinks with precision and flair, working in our embossed cocktail napkins and monogramed stirrers. We are so grateful and the rave reviews from our guests are a testament to professionalism, talent and care of Creative Catering. We'll look back on our wedding as a day of love, great memories and outstanding food and service. Look no further for your catering needs in the north shore -- they're the best!

Please use this wonderful company for your catered event!…read more We started planning a September wedding in March and just about everyone else I called laughed me off the phone, telling me I was way to late to book them. Taste of Summer and Xyomie, their sales manager, on the other hand, were helpful and excited to work with us right from the beginning. First, Xyomie helped us find a menu that fit the budget and feel of our wedding. We chose a grilling menu that included chicken, steak, and shrimp as well as a few sides and appetizers. Xyomie promptly answered every email from me over about six months, including one the week before the wedding asking to add more to the menu. She also explained with a lot of detail how the day would go and gave us all the info we needed to be ready for the event. Our wedding was on the Cape so the company had to travel for the event and they were prompt and ready to work upon their arrival. The food was delicious and we have gotten so many compliments from our guests. One friend told us that we won the prize for best food out of all the college weddings. A chef grilled right at the buffet table so all of the meat was served right after cooking. The caterers even packed up leftovers for us that we're still eating three days later. When I walked up to the buffet, the lead caterer introduced himself and it turned out to be Dave himself, the owner of the company. We were so grateful to have the owner overseeing our event. The staff was also great with clean up and kept the food and alcohol - related parts of the event running smoothly and on time. Our only recommendation would be to get actual silverware if you are serving the steak. We used disposables and it was a little hard to cut the steak with the plastic knives, but that's not the fault of the caterers. You will absolutely be happy with the service, prices, and food from Taste of Summer!

A selection of coffee and tea with pastry was available for us early arrivals. Several round tables were set up between the buffet and the bar. The buffet luncheon included fresh fruit salad, iceberg salad with a vinegarette dressing on the side, stuffed shells, steak tips in gravy, a chicken dish, rolls and butter. Very nice plates and flat ware. Food was very good. The event room included a full bar and the host family provided an open bar for their guests. Desserts were placed near the coffee urns and included cookies, brownies, cannolli and other sweet treats. There was quite the selection. Some guests are wheelchair users and this space had a wheelchair ramp into the event room. Ladies and men's restrooms are right off the dining area. Both had handicapped stalls. Ladies had a diaper station. Based on food quality and offerings and staff, I find Anthony's to be an excellent event space.

Not only were the stuffed shelves, extremely overcooked, and the vegetables were extremely bland. At least the fish and the salad was really good.. The main problem is the service.

It could use some updates but other than that, it's just OK, but the staff is what makes it not a place I would recommend.
