Funky's catered our company holiday party this year. The end product of the food was beautiful (see my photos), and mostly delicious. The process of working with them was sometimes slow, and we had to call or email a couple of times to get our proposal or invoice updated as we made changes or updated head counts. But they always got back to us eventually.
They have a very extensive list of menu options which they were a little hesitant to give to us to choose from, but their initial suggestions were a little off base for what we wanted. We always do a bunch of appetizers so people can mingle while they eat, but definitely try to get more than enough food so that people don't leave hungry. Once we got the list of appetizers from them, there were some clear winners, like the flank steak crostini and vegetarian tacos. We ended up doubling our original proposal list!
At the event, everything was prepared on site, which I really appreciated. Last years' caterers (a different company) prepared everything at their facility and simply brought it over shrink wrapped. The Funky's staff prepared as they went and replenished plates when needed, which I liked a lot. The whole team was very friendly during the event and the bartender Ken was specifically awesome, creating two "signature drinks" for the night with just a few suggestions of what we like.The food was mostly delicious (the meatballs and smoked salmon pinwheels were the least favorite of our group). However, the portions were quite small, even for appetizers, I thought, mostly one-bite things.
I would recommend working with them as long as you as an event planner know what you're looking for and how to keep the process moving, because overall I really liked Funky's food and their team. read more
