Usually we have Sardi's, which is perfectly fine, but tonight's choice was most def an upgrade. The salmon patties, rice pilaf, and dinner rolls were all DELISH. I wasn't a fan of the kale but that's not a deal breaker ... I still declare #TwoThumbsUp and would absolutely order the rice, salmon patties and dinner rolls for a future event of my own. The flavor of the rice and salmon; the garlic butter spread on the rolls; the unified shape of the salmon patties; the fluffiness of the rice ... all noteworthy. The salmon may have need a bit more binder because they were a little soggy and broke apart too easily during serving buttt that could have just been a hazard of sitting in the serving pan too long. Again, not a deal breaker, just an observation. Unfortunately, my camera didn't eat first this time but please trust me when I say even her presentation was on point. Not sure how many people my school ordered for but there was enough to serve huge portions to all who were there (and, of course, there was a significant amount of attendees who didn't even RSVP). Will definitely personally promote her for a couple of upcoming events. If YOU book Chef April/Reign's Kitchen please tell her you saw it on Yelp and come back to update us!

There are so many layers to uncover with Chef April. First off, let me discuss the masterpiece…read morebehind this service. Knowing that she's a local Washingtonian instantly made me want to support her even more. Chef April is incredibly kind and genuinely passionate about her craft, and rightfully so. Now, let's dive into her food. We hosted a brunch where Chef April prepared shrimp and grits, potatoes, eggs, and waffles. The waffles were like funnel cake; it was absolutely delicious and savory. We didn't even need syrup; they were perfect on their own. But the shrimp and grits... they were incredible! I can't stress enough how amazing they were. I will definitely be booking her again. Don't just walk, run and book her. I'll gladly recommend her to anyone who asks because I believe in quality and taste, and she delivers on both.

The food was truly amazing and the presentation at the party was professional. Both the food and service did not feel like your average "catering". It truly was very high quality food and service. The entire process was a breeze and the menu created for us was unique and special. Chef Monèt was willing and ready to accommodate all of our special requests. I would absolutely want to work with Seven Sunshines again and would trust Chef Monèt to create amazing menus and serve even more amazing food.

I relied on Sette's Kitchen to cater my promotion party in 2023, and it was amazing in every way!…read more The food was astonishingly beautiful and delicious! I highly recommend that each order contain spicy meatballs and banana pudding. Those were my favorites. I could rave on and on about the food, but what "Sette's" Jessica and her team apart is the care and passion, which shines through in customer service and logistics as well. I found myself scrambling to get to my own event early to help set up and prepare, but I was greeted by a beautiful display of food that was already set up. Their thoughtfulness and attention to detail will allow you to truly relax and enjoy your event. It's been a year, and I still think about the food! I'm always looking for other events to have them cater.

The food was incredibly delicious! I really enjoyed the fried fish fillets and cornbread muffin.read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND! Attended a funeral repast that Betsy Hebron-Marks's company, A Touch of Class,…read moreprovided the food service. The company was recommended by the funeral home that we used for the funeral service. Horrible customer service; just her and a young man working the event. Event booked for 40 persons, only about 20 persons showed up. So, there was quite a bit of food left over. Before the family could get seconds or make a decision about what to do with the extra food, the employees at the funeral home lined up in front of family members, some of them, without even an expression of condolence. It appeared to be a regular arrangement with the Hebron Marks, as she mentioned to several employees, she did not make their special food this time. When the family mentioned this to her and some food service issues, she got upset and said no one had EVER had a problem with those arrangements. Maybe we wouldn't have either if it had been more discrete. It became a big thing. She got angry and removed the fruit platter she had provided as a complimentary item, returned it to the kitchen. When asked her about it she said, "It is mine"! Total lack of professionalism! You would think that the owner would be more mindful of the reason for the event and try to exercise more decorum and tact. Being rude to grieving family members, is not cool. As a side note, the food started out being very tasty but by the time the event was over, given the really bad vibes by the company, the food left a bad taste in my mouth. The family members all agreed! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

Great food, great servers, and a great atmosphere; an epicurean delight.read more

I asked him to help me cater a BBQ for 50+ people. 1.) He provided me with an initial tasting. 2.) He offered to roll the costs of tables, chairs, and chaffing dishes into his fee, which was very convenient for me! He even offered to come the day before to help setup. 3.) I asked for a second tasting to fine tune the menu Items I was having for the BBQ he stated that he would cook the chicken on site the day of... I explained to him that BBQing chicken on the grill takes SKILL and that I prefer the chicken be baked, or parboiled and then placed on the grill. He assured me that wasn't necessary. Here's what I asked for, and what I got: I ASKED FOR: I told him that I did NOT want chicken or any meat in my pasta salad and wanted it to be a veggie pasta salad. I also requested that the HUGE pieces of cheese that he put in the pasta salad either be left out or cut smaller or replaced with a less dry cheese WHAT I GOT A "Veggie Pasta Salad" with chicken and HUGE pieces of cheese...after my vegetarian friends found meat in the pasta. I ASKED FOR: General Tso Wings and Medium Spicy Jerk Wings WHAT I GOT: Wings that looked the exactly the same and were under cooked and had to be put back on the grill and into the oven the next day. (RAW WINGS ON THE GRILL MEANS UNDER COOKED INSIDE AND OVERCOOKED OUTSIDE. I ASKED FOR: Nice hamburgers...I SPECIFICALLY SAID I did not want the cheap thin hamburgers WHAT I GOT: A big pile of cheap thin flying disk hamburgers that were dry. The deviled eggs were completely doused in paprika and were not served to the guests and remained in the fridge until someone asked about them...the same for the fruit salad that looks like it prepared days in advance and not fresh. After the food was setup we were spinning around digging through the dishwasher looking for serving utensils because the caterer that I paid 4 figures to did not bring serving utensils. THE MAIN ISSUE HERE I am a small business owner myself...I called Mr. Chase and asked to meet with him to talk about how the event went. I texted him not less than SIX TIMES and each time he would give me a date and then either not respond or came up with a reason not to meet. I am assuming this is because he is aware that the event did not go to plan. He has avoided speaking with me (see photos) and THAT is the sign of bad business practices. I even had a church that wished to hire him and still never responded. A business like this survives off of word of mouth and referrals. I was hoping that general feedback and a conversation would provide some encouragement and opportunity for growth. This is apparently something that Mr. Chase is not interested in. My suggestion: PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
