Philomenas Review…read more We used this catering company several times once we decided to use them for our wedding. We booked her one year in advance, and we used her for A New Year's Eve party, and for our wedding shower. These two events required only the food to be present, no service. At the original taste testing, the food was phenomenal as was at each event. Very flavorful and delicious, nothing was dry as it was quality food. The same can even be said about the food at our wedding for those that got it... We discussed our concerns with Amanda on several occasions that we had met. We did two separate taste testings to try a variety of foods, we drove there to pick up food several times, and we went there for tasting our signature drink. On top of that we had no less than 10 phone conversations and several emails discussing details of our wedding and the quality of service we expected. This is why the review has a poor rating. We get married one time in our lives, and the people from our wedding will remember how horrible the service was. We paid extra money for a "bartending service" who told our guests they were supposed to be there serving food. We asked Amanda if she had handled a wedding of this size before (300+ people) She assured us that they do 500 person events all the time. After my mother-in-law had to ask for salad at her table 6 times, and then ask for dressing another four times, we began to panic and realize Amanda over-promised and under delivered severely. In addition to this, the tables were supposed to be bussed and cleared, the plates were to be washed, none of this was done. The head table never got their glasses of water which remained upside down until we cleaned up the next day. We had less than 300 guests RSVP. We paid Philomena's for 310 guests worth of food. We had a total of 278 people attend our wedding, and she still ran out of food even though she insisted on several occasions that there would be more than enough food. She also said there will be several items left over and she would put out to go containers. Speaking of this, she said they would have plenty of time to kill while they were there and to give her things to do while she was there. She was entirely unprepared. When the bridal party walked in and they were still serving salad, we knew this was a disaster. When we spoke with Amanda the following day about the issues that we had, she tried to blame The fact they were unprepared because of the cookies in her area. She promised us that she would be putting out the cookies at the cookie table and never did! My family had to put them all out! We also gave her extra space at the venue as she was worried she wouldn't have enough. In addition to this disaster, I had to dismiss tables on my own wedding night, because Amanda did not bring enough help as clearly her bartenders we're supposed to be serving food, so then we were forced to shut down the bar so the guests could be served. There are several other details minor or large that I may be missing, but I am so upset and frustrated with how this turned out that people now remember our wedding as the wedding that was amazing except for the catering. If you want to use this company be sure to use them for only their food because that is all they are good for. Their services are sub par at best.

We ordered 100 servings of beef tips with gravy and mushrooms. The beef tips with gravy were very, very tender and extremely flavorful. They were my absolute favorite and our guests were raving about how tasty the dish was. We also ordered 100 servings of Parmesan crusted chicken. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to try to Parmesan crusted chicken but some of our guests stated that they enjoyed that as well. They delivered the food at our request and set it up in our catering dishes. They do offer full service as well and supplies. They were extremely professional and we would highly recommend them for your corporate, wedding or special event needs. They will not disappoint.

Chefs Monica and Nicole are such friendly, special people with incredible talent. Every Thursday, they open dinner service with a rotating, seasonal menu supporting local vendors. Tonight we got house salads, chicken-bacon-meatloaf sandwich with homemade fries, and parmesan crusted cod with asparagus and angel hair pasta. The sandwich was amazing and packed with flavor from the aioli and salsa. The fries have the perfect addition of cracked pepper. The cod was so yummy with the crispy crust. And the peanut butter pie (also homemade) was delicious. If you're looking for an intimate, woman owned, hidden gem then try Above and Beyond. You won't be dissatisfied or leave hungry! They cater too!

Above & Beyond Catering & Kitchen sells foods that contain locally produced ingredients and are…read moreinspired by the owners' Middle Eastern and Mediterranean backgrounds. Their cafe sells sandwiches (e.g., club and caprese), salads (e.g., Greek and antipasto), and sides (e.g., spinach artichoke and grape leaves). Their catering menu appears to be much larger and includes many appetizers, party trays, and party pans and cuisines such as Italian, taco, poke, and fine dining. So far, I have bought several foods from Above & Beyond. Here are my reviews for the foods: "Not Your Mom's Eggplant Parmesan" - 4 stars - This entree contained eggplant, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and marinara sauce. "Mac n Cheese" - 4 stars - This macaroni contained cheddar and parmesan cheeses and was topped with breadcrumbs. I expected more cheese, but I enjoyed the flavors. "Traditional Hummus" - 3.5 stars - This hummus contained chickpeas, tahini, garlic, paprika, lemon, and oil. It had a nicely creamy texture. "Stuffed Cabbage" - 3 stars - This stuffed cabbage contained less meat and more rice than what I like. "Pierogi Lasagna" - 5 stars - This entree consisted of lasagna noodles, potato, cheese, onion, butter, salt, and pepper. I really enjoyed this entree, and I would order it again in the future. "Beef Lasagna" - 4.5 stars - This lasagna contained noodles, ground beef, marinara, ricotta, and mozzarella. I liked the flavors. According to Above & Beyond's website, they also offer cooking classes for adults and children.

I'm not sure if this is a corporate policy, but with this being flu season, I would think a they would take every and any step to keep not only their entire staff but their customers safe from being exposed. I have been a corporate manager in the same industry in the past and this type of management enrages me. I have also heard that are told if they are having mental or hormonal issues they should deal with them on their day off. Im not sure corporately who manages the managers but they really need to do a better job at appreciating their employees and customers and the city that has made them a possibility.

Robin at Big Catering helped me select menu items, understand quantities and prices, and confirm all details. I asked for the food to be delivered and set up (we did not need servers during the reception). The delivery arrived exactly on time, and setup was perfect. The guests enjoyed the sight and aroma of the beautiful buffet. The delicious selections encouraged people to sit and chat, and then wander back to the buffet for another helping. We received many compliments about the wonderful food. Everything was packaged sturdily. Our family was able to take very tasty leftovers home and enjoy them. I highly recommend Big Burrito for catering, and Alta Via for menu selections.

Her food is high quality, and you can tell that there is a lot of time and effort that goes in to what she does. Unlike other local caterers who I think are guilty of using cheap products, like powdered or liquid eggs. I have been to a wedding where Patty catered, she did the entire wedding gluten free. How awesome is that? It was some of the best wedding food I ever had (truly) Patty Walker also caters my company's monthly safety meetings which range anywhere from 80-100 people first thing in the morning (she sets up at 5-5:30AM) and it always runs completely smooth. Everyone is always commenting on how great the food is, and asking where it came from! 5 stars for PW catering, thanks for always doing such a great job!

I got the fried whiting, yams, Mac, and peach cobbler. My babe got the 2 piece chicken, Mac and collard.

I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt that MAYBE they decided to just take orders after us but i don't know..... not cool Location is in a a catering hall. Lots of parking.
