Ann and her crew at House Calls Catering came recommended to us for our 25th Anniversary party…read more My husband & I hosted it ourselves at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Wakefield & the function manager there said we'd be happy with them & he was so very right. Ann was easy to work with, delivered on everything she promised. The food was hot & delicious in a plentiful buffet for our over 100 guests. She was like an old friend by the time I met her the night of the function as we'd been talking via phone the weeks leading up to the event. It was affordable too. Her website shows the variety of menu options and there is something for everyone & every budget. At the end of the meal, she packaged it all up in the kitchen of the hall and we were able to share the leftovers with guests at the end of the night. We were very pleased with House Calls & would use them again.

We chose the the short rib and chicken with apple sage chutney as well as adding the burrata bar and the pizza late night snack. The same restaurant group also owns The Bancroft, The Double Bull Tavern, and Gibbet Hill and we love we can go back and have what we ate at our wedding again. We also did the open bar and were able to have two signature drinks and had wine service at dinner which was perfect.

I'm SO glad that we couldn't pick someone else, though, because their food and drinks were AMAZING! We went with short rib, cod, and vegetarian dishes, and people were raving about the food all night. The passed apps were a HUGE hit, and so were the drinks (especially the signature gin drink!). The team at Fireside took such good care of us and our guests on our wedding day, and even leading up to it as well - their tasting events are so fun and delicious to boot! We had a blast working with them, and I'd recommend any venue with Fireside Catering to anyone getting married.

Our department has ordered from Rita's for the last year…read more Their menu is massive - all sorts of things you can ever need and more. So many sandwiches to choose from. So many salads. Great entrees. Their pastries are beautiful ! Sandwiches come in a box and are labeled , so there is no confusion. They have always been reliable. Fiona and her team are lovely to work with. The deliveries have always been a great experience. Only thing I will note is they often come EARLY so maybe be prepared for that ? I don't use that against them since they come to Boston from Everette. They have lots of deliveries so they have to be precise when it comes to timing and I know that can be difficult. Better early than late :) Their food is worth the price. Happy to work with Rita's and will continue to feed my hungry department with their yummy food.

We booked Ryan to cook dinner for my mom's 70th birthday. It was the first time we've ever done…read moreanything like this. Naturally, because it was something new, we were a bit anxious about the experience. We weren't sure of all the moving pieces or how easy/difficult the process would be. When Ryan left on Saturday evening, our kitchen sparkling, it was like he had never even been there, except we were stuffed with incredibly delicious food. From my first contact with Ryan to the when he left my mom's house, it was all so easy. The menu was easy to decide on (Ryan has a huge selection of dishes he can put together). Ryan was easy going and guided us through each step. Ryan brings everything he needs, pots, pans, silverware, china, and food. He got to work right away, and when it came time to sit down, we were treated to an incredible feast. Every course (we had 5 courses) was delicious and elegant. We were served by Ryan's assistant. It was really like we were in a restaurant. I was eating with my back to the kitchen, and it was hard to even know he was there. He was efficient and didn't distract from our dinner (he was also willing to chat when we pulled him into the conversation.) If you are at all anxious about the process of having a chef cook dinner in your house, you shouldn't be if you pick Ryan. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Here's what we ate (If we could do it again, we'd eliminate one of the first three course... we. were. stuffed.): Hard Cider Pumpkin Bisque (a table favorite. Fall in a bowl) Wedge Salad (the dressing was dynamite) Scallops and risotto (Another hit. This is where we were feeling rather full). Filet OR herb encrusted chicken (maybe the best filet I've had in a long while. Just cooked perfectly.) Tangerine Creme Brulee (blow torch demo included!). If you're thinking about doing something romantic for a significant other or planning a larger dinner (we had 9 people), you should hire Ryan. You won't regret it and you'll impress everyone.

Chef Ryan is amazing - and his food is simply outstanding! Our children surprised us with a…read morecombination Anniversary and Birthday dinner last night, and the menu was superb. The braised short rib grilled cheese appetizers were nothing short of amazing and could have been a meal in themselves ... but we continued with fantastic corn chowder with crab, arugula salad with melon and pine nuts, and stuffed cod that melted in our mouths. Add in lava cakes ... and you have a meal that is totally over the top. But the best part of the night was Chef Ryan and his assistant Leslie - who cooked, served and cleaned up. As they left you would never have known anyone was in the kitchen !!! Simply amazing. If you want the luxury of have your own professional chef for an evening - call Chef Ryan - he's the best !

I used Sensation Foods Catering for a baby shower I planned back in July. Their name lives up to…read morethe hype, they are sensational! I worked with Logan, who was the most patient person on the planet as I changed the menu 3 times! Each time he was helpful and quickly sent out a new invoice. He worked within my budget and made great suggestions for food to fit our brunch theme. On the day of the event, the food arrive promptly and was setup very quickly. The delivery man (who's name unfortunately slips me) was super friends and helpful. The food itself was hot and delicious. There was no left overs, the guest loved it and many asked where we got it from. Clean up was easy as everything is disposable. Would definitely use them again for my next event and I recommend you do as well!

I am a pescatarian and was worried that the only thing available for me would be pasta and (hopefully) wine. What a surprise I had in store! There were plenty of veggie items that were as filling as any meat dish...without being carb heavy. I also want to mention that the chef and assistant were top marks! They were very knowledgeable about their offerings and additional services and their business in general. They also knew equally as much about their food ingredients; nutritional value, etc. That really impressed me and made me look forward to our upcoming Cinco De Maya event even more!

From our first meeting with Donald, it was clear Harvest was going to be our wedding caterer…read more Getting married is stressful, and having Donald on-board went a long way to keeping us sane. We had a below average budget, and he did a great job of putting a menu together that looked beautiful, tasted delicious and was within our limits. Donald has a bunch of tricks up his sleeve that made planning easy too, like event layout tools to quickly show us where we could place tables. He's also about the nicest guy you'll ever met! The food was terrific, his staff friendly and professional. Top notch company. Highly recommended.

I was told upon explaining the situation that no refunds were to occur under no circumstances. I understand, and I did sign a contract, but you'd think Donald would be slightly more accommodating? Anything can happen with wedding planning, grandma could kick the bucket etc, so Is "Donald from Harvest Catering" going to be there for you if something bad/ unexpected happens???? Sue Lynch from Sue Lynch photography treated me the same. ALL of my other vendors were apologetic and sincerely sorry when expressing their condolences and sending refunds! Be cautious as anything can happen, especially nowadays with covid !

She cooked far too much food for us but I'd been told that is what you get normally, for the price I couldn't complain.

The boiled & baked spuds were great, the garlic mash.... hmmm, and then the roast... we were delighted and stuffed. We'll be using Terrie again later this year.
