Wedding tasting leftovers packed up neat and nicely for us in a to-go bag. They even included eating utensils and napkins.
Daniel B.

My first review for Bold Catering & Design was for their catering service at our company holiday party in 2011. At that time, they were known as Bold American Events. We've had good results with Bold at our company parties and have used them multiple times over the years. We've never a bad experience with them (at least, in my opinion). Now, I'm getting married. My fiancee and I hired a wedding planner. After booking our venue, the Atlanta History Center and Swan House, and letting our planner know our tastes and vision for the wedding, her first recommended caterer to us was Bold. I wasn't surprised. I've enjoyed Bold's food and am also a fan of their restaurant group, Fifth Group Restaurants (Alma Cocina, Ecco, La Tavola Trattoria, Lure, South City Kitchen, The Original El Taco). Bold is also an approved caterer at the History Center as well as many other popular Atlanta wedding venues. Our wedding planner worked with Michelle Segura at Bold and set up a private tasting appointment for us. This was my first wedding tasting and I was impressed. The experience was essentially a private, seated chef's tasting. It was like going on a nice date. There were elegant table settings and a personal server. As each course came out, the chef who prepared the course explained the dish(es) to us. Presumably, relatively big catering companies like Bold can afford to do these intimate private tastings, with chefs and servers on-hand, at no charge because the company is selling catering orders on the magnitude of tens of thousands of dollars to each couple. The tasting took place at the King Plow Arts Center where Bold's offices are based. Bold has two free marked parking spots in the surface lot outside. Otherwise, I think you have to pay for parking. Our tasting table was candle-lit, which added to the upscale ambiance. The room was bright enough so we could get a good look at and take decent pictures of the food. Our server, Raheen Brown, was (I believe Michelle called him) a "VIP" server; one that my fiancee and I could choose to be our personal server at our wedding. He would be assigned to serve only us. That's pretty cool. Raheen was exceptional, pretty much the perfect server. He was extremely polite and attentive and he neatly packed up our leftovers to take home and enjoy. He was great. Before the tasting, our wedding planner emailed us a preliminary proposal that Michelle put together. She also emailed us sample photos from Bold. We chose a few each of passed hors d'oeuvres, stations (we decided to go with dinner stations instead of a seated dinner), and desserts. Reviewing the proposal and choosing what we wanted to taste was actually more challenging and time-consuming than I thought it'd be. Obviously, food means a lot to me (just look at my Yelp account) and I want to have good food at my wedding. Bold has quite the catering menu with many, many options. It took my fiancee and I a couple sittings to pore over the menu and decide what we wanted to sample at our tasting. Not only did we want food that was delicious, interesting, and unique - we're both adventurous eaters/foodies and so are many of our guests - we also wanted to accommodate all of our guests' tastes, allergies, and dietary restrictions. It can be tough to balance. Plus, Bold had so many wonderful-sounding options that it was already tough enough to narrow down our choices. Here's what we ended up going with: Passed Hors d'Oeuvres * Carolina-style BBQ pulled pork tacos with creamy coleslaw * Vegetarian empanadas with shiitake mushroom, eggplant, zucchini, peppers, onion, coconut curry * Vietnamese rice paper rolls with ground chicken, scallion, radish sprouts, soy tamarind sauce Stations * Chef-attended sweet potato gnocchi station - duck confit, Brussels sprouts leaves, white balsamic cherry gastrique * Carving station - pepper-crusted beef tenderloin, horseradish cream, spicy mustard, Yukon gold mashed potatoes * Gemelli pasta station, chef attended - wild mushroom, onion, peppers, marinara and Cajun tasso ham, Parmesan cream sauce Desserts * Banana pudding, Chantilly cream, Nilla wafer * French macarons - raspberry cheesecake, PB&J * Homemade praline chocolate truffles * Cardamom panna cotta, fried cinnamon sugar wonton sail In general, my fiancee and I liked the food. Nothing was bad, but some items were better than others. Along with the chefs explaining each course as they came out, Michelle walked us through each item as we tasted them together with her and our wedding planner. Michelle had an iPad to show us pictures of our alternatives. That was really helpful. It was also useful to see the ways in which different foods could be presented. In the end, Michelle and our planner really helped us change and shape a potential menu for our wedding guests, one that my fiancee and I are both happy with. I'll write a review update after our wedding if we decide to go with Bold. They're already a strong contender out of the gate.

Huge thanks to the entire BOLD Catering & Design teams for making the 10th Anniversary Of EMORY Johns Creek Hospital Spectacular in every way! In 2007, BOLD helped to set the bar high for excellence when the hospital opened with a legendary black tie event! Fast forward 10 years later with a return performance under the stars making heads turn and gaining rave reviews again! The design by Steve Bales was elegant and breathtaking! The BOLD sponsored butler wall was the show stopper making for the photo opportunity of the evening! The guests clamored to have their photos taken in front of it. The butler wall made a lasting first impression and elevated the event to the highest level! Lead by James, the Catering team provided stellar service with attention being paid to every minute detail. Chef Allie's culinary skills resulted in a meal which received guests' highest praise! The petite desserts on market shelves were also a big hit! The evening was (and will be) the talk of Johns Creek - just what we hoped for the 10th Anniversary Gala!

They helped my dream come true! I recently hosted an incredible ladies event at The Peachtree Club…read moreand they were absolutely fabulous! On the business end, Natalie was very professional, flexible with the terms when my numbers proved much lower, and patient when I responded a bit slower to their requests. I'm the owner of a small coaching & special events business and perform many different tasks! Natalie was always pleasant in our dealings. With regard to the quality of service at the event itself, my patrons were absolutely amazed with Natalie, Zack and the rest of the team! (And so was I, delightedly so!) The lunch, dessert bar, bubbly bar, visual appearance and available (agreeable) waitstaff... It was not only delicious but the service flowed! I was able to concentrate on the presentation itself! The team made me look like a much larger, classy operation! My patrons were simply ecstatic! And so am I! This just may be an annual event! Thanks so much, Peachtree Club!

So, everyone knows I work for SCAD-Atlanta, but I'm also a huge fan of architecture, design,…read moresustainability and preservation. So, when I started working for SCAD and learned they were in the process of restoring and preserving the old Mansion Restaurant at Ponce & Piedmont, I was really excited. If you haven't had a chance to see the space since its transformation, please feel free to email me and I'd be happy to set up a free tour. lmoody@scad.edu. Truly the restoration of this historic landmark is a gift to our community. This Queen Anne Victorian house was built in 1883 by the Peters family--one of the founding families of our city. Know Peters street in Castleberry? Yep that's the same folks. They originally owned 400 acres from Briarcliff and Ponce all the way beyond where GA Tech now stands. In fact, the family donated the land that the campus was original built upon. They also donated the land for Morris Brown and the first baseball field for the Atlantans. The home is filled with beautiful detail. This is no cookie cutter McMansion. Every room is filled with unique features. The college will use the space for its Professional Writing program and will bring scholars, authors and journalists to speak and give workshops--many that will be open to the public. Visit the website often to see the free events coming up. In the Spring expect outdoor concerts in the lovely gardens. The home will be available for rentals for corporate meetings and the like.

I have noting to do with SCAD or Ivy Hall but have long admired the house on the hill. I never…read morewent to The Mansion to eat and I regret that. Once I saw the renovation in progress I decided that I need to know more. It took some time but eventually I decided I had to see the place. I have been doing some Friday outings as mini-tweet-ups and this seemed perfect. The folks at SCAD were very gracious and responsive and I easily set a tour for Fri Dec 11, 2009. The result was an outstanding experience and we were knocked out with the work that's been done. This tour can be seen in video on my site at http://www.pro1pr.com/ivy-hall-atl-mini-tweetup I highly recommend you see for yourself. Contact them and see when the next public event will be held and get going. If you're looking to become a designer then I'd say you are in business!

Beautiful views, but the service and the food left much to be desired…read more I ordered chicken skewers, 2 mocktails, artichoke dip, and yucca fries. The chicken skewers took forever to come out. You only get two of them, and they are served over a bed of mixed greens. They lacked seasoning and flavor. The artichoke dip was extremely oily and had a very strange texture--it was thick and spreadable. The pita bread tasted old and stale. asked for a fork and the waitress forgot. When she brought my fries, she realized that she never brought the fork, and still didn't bring it. I ordered yucca fries, but she brought regular fries. The mocktails were served in these foggy old cups. Even the customer next to me commented on her own cup and said it looked like someone had drank from it. They add 20% gratuity to ALL bills--I was by myself and it was still added. 5 Church is pretty good, but this place was not at all. I paid 65 dollars for my meal, which was absolutely not worth it, given the quality and service of my experience. Looks good for IG but I won't be coming back to this rooftop.

Virtue Rooftop is a whole mood on a Tuesday. I touched down for the "Jazz on the Rooftop" session,…read moreand the live saxophonist was definitely the highlight--sliding through covers and originals with the kind of ease that makes a date night feel effortless. The spot is huge with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, so you aren't cramped while trying to catch a vibe. The 1000 Masks cocktail was smooth and balanced, avoiding the sugar-trap I expected from the blueberry syrup. We started with the Yuca Parmesan Truffle Fries--solid crunch and the truffle wasn't aggressive--and the Togarashi Tempura Veggies, which were light and crispy. I went with the 5Church Lamb Burger Sliders for the main; the gorgonzola fondue and red onion marmalade combo was a heavy hitter, though the lemon-dressed arugula kept it grounded. The food was a solid, reliable choice--nothing that'll change your life, but definitely tasty enough to keep you satisfied while the music does its thing. If you want a laid-back, intentional atmosphere without the extra noise, this is the move.
