We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Chef Sullivan Phillips and his wife, April, who…read morecatered a private executive dinner during our company's leadership offsite. From the moment they arrived, Sullivan and April brought such warmth, hospitality, and genuine enthusiasm to the evening. They created the most beautiful grazing table, followed by an incredible dinner featuring rosemary lemon chicken, fresh cornbread, a delicious arugula, feta and apple salad, perfectly prepared asparagus, and creamy mashed potatoes. We finished the evening with a wonderful peach cobbler and vegan cookies! Sullivan was also incredibly thoughtful and accommodating of our guests' dietary preferences, ensuring that our vegan attendees had delicious options to enjoy. What truly sets Sullivan and April apart, beyond the fantastic food, is their warm and inviting personalities. You can immediately tell they have a genuine passion for what they do and take great pride in creating a memorable experience for their guests. They were gracious, flexible, and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Our executive team thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and the food received rave reviews all around! We couldn't have asked for a better experience and look forward to working with them again. Highly recommend!

I called Sullivan and April on Sunday for a catering on Wednesday to feed 20(ish) people. I knew…read morethere were food restrictions but wasn't sure the exact needs of the party. Sullivan and April whipped up a menu, some how knowing exactly what to feed everyone. When I had to add more headcount the day of, April and Sullivan simply said "we got you". No issue, no negative response, just a simple and easy - "we got you". April and Sullivan showed up, got right to work, and were friendly and welcoming while they were cooking this meal. They were efficient, clean and made the entire experience wonderful - even with a less than desirable kitchen set up (let's just say it was rustic). The food came out on time and was so delicious - we had many requests to rehire this team for our next event! And when we schedule them next time, I'm requesting two pies and triple the cornbread; it was that good!!

She was very responsive and professional and I was happy with her menu choices. We decided on finger type foods to make it easier for the guests at my Mom's service and Allison and her team delivered a gorgeous array of delicious foods. Her and her team were on time for the event and extremely professional. She really came through on one of the. most important days of my life and we were very happy with the food and service she provided throughout. Highly recommend!

Stop reading and call Simply Catered. Over the last month my family attended 2 other catered…read moreevents and Simply Catered was hands down the BEST! We had crab cakes with a roasted pepper aioli and coconut shrimp with an orange sauce for passed appetizers. I'm still craving them this morning. Our meal included Caesar Salad, filet and lobster tail. My fillet (2 1/2 inches thick) was cooked to medium rare perfection and my lobster tail was probably the most perfectly cooked lobster I have ever had. Lastly, Alison helped me with all the details. To say she has "attention to detail" is an understatement! Guys, if you want to plan a catered event for family and friends and give your significant other a breather, trust me when I say Alison will make sure your event is a success. I will continue to use Simply Catered for future events.

Call them as soon as you know you're having a party because my guess is that they get booked, they're that good! Orchata, carrots/onions, jalapeño peppers, plentiful sides. We will definitely use their services again sooner than later.

Aloha Catering has some great reviews, which is what initially drew us to them. Unfortunately, our…read moreexperience with Richard was challenging--as others have also mentioned. We submitted a catering quote request, and to our surprise, Richard called to discuss it. Unfortunately, the call was not the kind of interaction you'd hope for when trying to plan an event. It left us wondering--why is Richard the one calling back customers instead of Minh? I'm writing this in the hopes that Minh will reach out to me directly with a contact number so we can move forward and work with Aloha Catering. Otherwise, we'll need to start exploring other catering options. I will update this review once I hear back from Minh.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Obvious Choice Catering and the owner, Donna!…read more Donna catered a large corporate event for us with approximately 300 guests, and then turned around the very next day and catered another corporate event for about 50 people. She and her team were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Donna was professional, organized, accommodating, and such a pleasure to work with. She handled every detail beautifully and made both events feel effortless. And the food was phenomenal! We received so many compliments, with people saying it was some of the best catered food they had ever tasted. But it wasn't just delicious -- the presentation was truly a work of art. Every detail was thoughtful, beautiful, and impressive. It takes a special level of talent and professionalism to flawlessly execute an event for 300 people and then do it all over again the very next day. Donna exceeded our expectations in every way. The name really does say it all -- Obvious Choice Catering is the obvious choice! We would absolutely use Donna and her team again and recommend them without hesitation.

From the moment Frankie and I spoke, the entire process was easy and stress-free. They were great to work with, the setup and breakdown were seamless, and we had more than enough food to feed 120+ guests, with plenty left over. Having Rafael's handle the catering allowed me and my party helpers to focus on everything else instead of worrying about the food. I don't know when I'll be hosting another party this big, but when I do, Rafael's will be my first call. Thank you Rafael's Catering for helping make her day so special!

The ordering process is simple, the team is efficient, portions are LARGE and they make it easy to modify items, pricing quotes, etc. Delivery and pick up has always ran smooth and the team will assist in packing up all leftovers because there definitely will be plenty. They have delivered to a hall as well as our home, they've set up in our backyard and inside our dining space. They stay communicative with delivery and pick up times, updates and ETAs of arrival. I'd have to say that by now, we have ordered every item on their menu - including the lechon, and we've gotten great feedback from family & friends. Rafael's has set the bar pretty high for quality of food and service. I recommend them to anyone that is planning to host a party and does not want the hassle of cooking, setting up, etc.
