I had to order 75 lunches for an all-day conference and decided to go with Best Box Lunches. I had…read moreeaten one of their box lunches in the past, and it really was the best. I ordered a week out and sent my order via email. Within an hour or so, I received a confirmation. It was scheduled. As Friday approached, I reached out to make sure we were still on. Almost immediately, I received confirmation that we were good. Friday arrived along with a family crisis. It was hard for me to stay focused. Right before the first break at 10 something, I was freaking out that lunch hadn't arrived. That I had set it up at the wrong time. So I immediately emailed Best Box Lunches and asked if they could bring the lunches sooner. Keep in mind that I had ordered 75 lunches, so I was really asking a lot. I immediately received a response stating that they would try. That's all I needed to hear. We weren't creating a cure for cancer. If the lunch was late, it would be fine. My family crisis got more intense, but I wasn't freaking out about lunch now. It's amazing what a simple, QUICK email reply can do for a person. When the lunches arrived, they were perfect. They looked like you hadn't been rushed and that you had all day to make them. The bottom line is that I TOTALLY recommend them and will continue to use Best Box Lunches whenever I can. They made me look good.

I contracted with Pure Catering STL to feed a group of 125 people. The staff that came to set up…read morewere prompt and very professional. There was a second set of staff that came to serve. The food was DELICIOUS. My group enjoyed fried chicken, sweet potatoes, greens, peach cobbler and drinks. Everything was going great until one of the serving staff asked if she could make herself a plate. She stated that she wouldn't normally do that but noticed there was extra food and she didn't feel like going home to cook. Additionally, one of my guest asked for a beverage. The same serving staff told my guest there was not any beverages left. However, as the staff were loading their items into the car, they were seen loading cases of soda. I was very disappointed with the way they treated my guest and the taking of the food beverages. I thought I had found my go to cater but, due to the actions of the staff member, I won't be using, Pure Catering STL, again!

It was a beautiful table set with a very eclectic mix of dinnerware. Really cute. The tasting consisted of two appetizers, two salads, two entrees and two sides.

The chef who prepared the food brought it out and explained it all to us. Very impressive. The menu has a large variety of choices. If you are planning a wedding, the space includes a chapel, bride and groom dressing areas and a lounge upstairs. It is a very cool space. The people were super nice and explained everything to us. What a nice evening. Nestled in the cute Holly Hills neighborhood. I highly recommend!

I say this because the restaurant doesn't have the largest sign in front, and it's only open on Sundays from 9am-2pm. But when you finally visit, well, your taste buds will thank you. I've heard of Seed Sprout Spoon here and there but had never thought of visiting. My spouse and I were craving brunch one day (actually, we crave brunch everyday), so I started doing what I normally do, scroll through Yelp. Seed Sprout Spoon came up, and I looked more into it and realized it was only open on Sundays from 9am-2pm. Wait... it is Sunday and it's before 2pm! We can make it! We arrived around noon and the restaurant was quite busy. We ended up sharing a table a few other people, but that didn't bother me. I ordered the Egg in a Hole B.L.T., and my spouse had the quiche. It took quite awhile for our food to come, probably because it was really busy, but when it did, it was well worth the wait! The Egg in a Hole B.L.T. didn't just come with a fried egg. There's a egg IN THE BREAD! On both pieces! That's next level right there. I loved the brioche bread from Companion, with thick tomato slices, Patchwork bacon, and herb mayo. This sandwich was a work of art! If you love brunch, this is a definitely a place you HAVE to checkout! We'll be back to check out the other items!

We had our wedding in the Missouri Botanical Gardens in September through Catering St. Louis (the…read moreonly way you can reserve an area in the botanical gardens). We regret this decision. The wedding itself was beautiful but the entire planning process and getting Catering St Louis to actually work with us was a NIGHTMARE. First of all, it's a full non-refundable deposit that you must supply to hold your spot. This is also rain or shine, no refunds. We knew this and accepted this, but then (after we paid) they sent the full package with other restrictions we were not expected. No signs, no glasses or anything breakable. The seats that day will be set up for the largest group of the day, so if you have a small guest list compared to the other weddings occurring that day, too bad. You have to pay an additional $300 for a golf cart if you want help transporting people to the wedding site (NOTE: this only applies to the wedding party! They don't want you to use it for all your guests). Additionally, if this golf cart breaks down, too bad, they only have one, there goes your money. For a $3000 non-refundable deposit, you think they would provide reserved parking for at least the Bride and Groom. NOPE. When we met with Catering St. Louis representative, she assured us since it was a wedding earlier in the day, that we would find parking, but nothing was reserved. When I arrived with my parents in my dress, there was NO parking. My dad had to drop us off, park somewhere a mile away, and then RUN to the ceremony site. This was absurd. We talked with the folks at the botanical gardens themselves after this, and they said they would have supplied us with reserved parking if Catering St. Louis would have talked to them. ALSO, the people with Catering St. Louis refused to meet and work with us/answer questions until a month before the wedding!!! It was incredibly frustrating not knowing what was going on and what else we had to do. The only support we actually got from them was the ONE meeting with the Catering St. Louis representative less than a month before the wedding (which wasn't even in the botanical gardens, they met us in a cafe), and during the rehearsal. We got an hour for our rehearsal time and that process was smooth, but nothing was set up, and there was no way to hook our music up and to coordinate that. During the day of, the rehearsal coordinator gave us our ques to walk and then left. We would NOT recommend having your wedding at the Botanical Gardens through Catering St. Louis. We are SO glad we didn't use them for our reception.

She pointed to a menu that was taped to the counter, instead of answering a simple question of how the meals are bundled.....ala carte, as a plate, etc. Apparently, all orders are placed at the bar, whether eating at the restaurant or getting take-out. No single menus were available. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich. She asked about choice of side that apparently comes with the sandwich. When I asked what sides were available, she exhaled and pointed back towards the menu. She stood there and watched while I tried to find the list. Couldn't find it on the menu. She finally said "beans." I asked about the kind of beans. Her answer, "they come in a can." She got exceeding miffed when I tried to get clarity about the beans. She offered, "I have green beans too." Finally I asked if the other beans were pinto beans and she gave me a blank stare. Then I asked, "are they like pork and beans that come in a can"? She confirmed that the beans were pork 'n beans. A simple task of ordering a sandwich with a side of pork n' beans was incredibly difficult. When I got home with the sandwich, it was filled with chunks of blacked fat...fat that is on the roast for flavor but is usually mostly removed when pulling the pork. Just chunks of fat....no meat attached. it was mostly inedible. Gave it to the opossum that lives under my back deck....he thought he had died and gone to heaven.
