"Phenomenal." This is the most recent adjective used by one of our wedding guests to describe Adafina's food at our wedding. But let me begin at the beginning: Deciding on the food for our wedding was probably our biggest challenge during planning. My husband is quite the foodie (in that he appreciates really GOOD food), & I was aiming to find sustainable food with a splash of cool, & hopefully stay within our budget. We tasted the hippest food trucks, the winery regulars, the best BBQ in all the land, but nothing was quite right. Until, by a stroke of luck, we found Adafina. Tara was super-easy (& fun) to communicate with, & when we met with her other half, Chef Les, & tasted his food, we were sold! They use simple, local, delicious ingredients in a thoughtful & creative way, & catered their menu ideas to our specific requests. Plus, they were willing to work within our budget. We both instantly knew they were the *ones*.
On our wedding day, everything was perfect; delicious ratatouille appetizer, the most incredible salads (with tomatoes from their garden!), & a braised chickpea & saffron dish with the best slow-roasted lamb shoulder (in the world!). I don't even eat lamb & I was licking my plate. There was an ohmygoodnesscanyoubelievehowgoodthisfoodis whisper during dinner. Their staff was very professional, took great direction, & was lovely with our guests. My husband & I couldn't have been happier.
Since our big day, we've received a natural flurry of reminiscence, always punctuated with "that was the best wedding food I've ever had." I've heard it over & over, so I figured Yelp would be the best place to brag about it. We are already talking about using Adafina again for our 5 year anniversary party; that is, if Adafina isn't so famous it's impossible to book them....
Thank you, Tara & Les & the Adafina Staff! read more
