She responded to my questions quickly and was always willing to adjust our invoices or provide recommendations. They are also the most affordable company I've found in the DC area. On site, the catering team went above and beyond to ensure our events went seamlessly. I have never had guests compliment the staff and the menu as much as they did with St. Germain! As the event coordinator, I appreciated that Ceecho, Donal, and Johnny checked in with me throughout the event, quickly adjusted to the schedule changes, and were efficient and helpful throughout the set up and tear down process. I highly recommend Saint Germain for our next catered function in DC! We will be a repeat customer for sure!

Their menu is expansive and can accommodate all types of dietary restrictions--we had dairy free, vegan, pollotarian, and gluten free folks, and they all enjoyed the food. Set up and tear down were efficient, and the staff was so friendly, polite, and professional! And the food! I over ordered, so the whole library staff got to eat, too. Everyone raved about the buffets (we did a "cookout" style, a "fajita bar" style, and we had breakfast for three days). Everything was cooked well and seasoned well! The fresh fruit was delicious! Can I recommend them any more than I have? If I'm ever in the DC/DMV area again for an event, I will definitely give them a call.

She was outstanding. I really appreciated everything she did and also offering to help us after hours. I also appreciated the Event Coordinator's excpertise and help (Emily Delauter) in many areas, as I have never planned a big event before! She was extremely responsive and helpful.

The crab cakes were so delicious along with the sauce. It had barely any filler with large lumps of crabmeat. This was my favorite. The pork chops were perfectly cooked and were so tasty and tender! That was a favorite for a couple. The salad was so yummy with a lot of great flavors that came together beautifully. Our salmon was the entree which had a beautiful glaze and a nice crisp on the edges. Our apple crisp dessert was a perfect ending to our delectable meal. Honestly, it was perfect and nothing I would change. She was also such a pleasure and cleaned up EVERYTHING! You can't go wrong with her! I have had other private chefs and she has been the best so far!

Considering this place is a catering place, you would think they would be more attentive in terms of the the items they have available for sale, use fresh ingredients, and store the food properly.

They are our favorite restaurants in Northern Virginia. The menu varies a little from one restaurant to the next, but every restaurant has a relatively broad menu from salads to sandwiches to chicken and seafood and steak entrees. All are prepared fresh and to your liking. If you ever have a meal that isn't perfect, let your server know and they will fix it. Some of the favorite meals we consistently order are chop house salad, Caesar salad, crab cakes, blackened prime rib, chicken and salmon. The prices are getting a little higher, but the value is still very good for the quality and quantity of food provided. Sweetwater Tavern is a little bit noisier and more upbeat than some of the other GAR restaurants. Most have outdoor dining options.
