This review is based on food we had catered to our office for lunch. By all accounts, the owners…read moreare wonderful, worked well with our staff, and most of the veggies in the food they grow themselves. Which is wonderful to know. We had veggie and chicken tikka masala, as well as a cashew quinoa salad. All FANTASTIC, fresh, delicious, and clearly healthy. The veggie tikka had quinoa, and both dishes were full of delicious fresh veggies, including brussels sprouts, green beans, cauliflower, carrots, squash, and more. The chicken was tender and delicious, and the sauce flavorful, but not overpowering the food at all. The vegan brownies I initially resisted trying (because . . . vegan brownies?). But actually they were very good, extremely moist, and tasty. I wish there was a restaurant. But in the meantime, I sure hope we get them catered in again. OFTEN.

I think I need a unique option for a group of friends... or my office party. Or I really want to be a part of a really cool dinner evening in the middle of herb and vegetable gardens... it's pretty cool when we walk through the gardens and pick what we eat. Really. I've done quite a few events at the SicolaGardenHouse... both as guest of other events as well as hosting my own. And they have it all. I'm always looking for conversation points and unique options when it comes to dining... whether I'm considering a special evening for family, for networking, for friends, for colleagues, or for a date. I call Sarah up, she asks me what I'm looking to do... she remembers what I've done in the past, and then she helps me make the perfect event. The food is absolutely amazing... better than I've had at most 5-star restaurants. I've traveled the world and nearly the entire country. I've yet to find a dining destination as cool as the Sicola Garden House. You don't have to have all the answers (Sarah will help you), you just have to call. And the Sicola's remind me I can bring my favorite bottle of wine :) Excited for my next event!

We hired Alexander and his team to cater a networking event for about 40 guests, and they did a…read morefantastic job. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and exactly what we were looking for. We had a combination of charcuterie boards and cocktail-style appetizers, and everything was both delicious and easy for guests to enjoy while mingling. What impressed me most was how reliable and professional the team was. They arrived on time, handled everything smoothly, and made the entire catering process completely stress-free. I received several compliments from attendees on both the food and the presentation. I would absolutely work with Alexander again and highly recommend him for corporate events, networking receptions, and private gatherings.

Given that I…read moredid not have any history of working with local caterers, I was totally reliant on Yelp reviews to find one that would (hopefully) meet high expectations. After reading dozens of reviews, I visited their website and engaged 2 Dine 4 to provide an estimate for their delicious Mediterranean menu. The estimate was quite reasonable and most importantly, they delivered the service and quality that we had hoped for! The event was last night and today, I have received a number of rave reviews from the attendees. The food and service were truly exceptional! Thank you Ashley for helping me with the planning and to the team on site who made me look so good! 2 Dine 4 is highly recommended!

When it came to picking a catering company, it came down to how authentic, healthy, creative, and mouth-watering the menu was, and 2Dine4 blew us out of the water. Throughout the entire night, all of our guest couldn't stop talking about how incredible the food was. All I heard was, "Have you had that Tres Leches?!" As well as their food, their service was fantastic. Everyone was very polite, put together, organized, and thrilled to be serving such wonderful food. The waiter that served my husband and I even told us thank you for having such a great menu! And Gina, the event coordinator and main contact for 2Dine4, is wonderful. She is very sweet, patient, quick, and extremely helpful. I would recommend 2Dine4 in a heart beat. If you love food, and want to work with other people that love food, 2Dine4 is your caterer.

We were passing through quaint downtown Elgin on Independence Day weekend and decided to stop for a…read morebit. There are two places here that are definitely worth mentioning. First is the Owl Wine Bar & Home Goods. This store was simply adorable! It is tastefully decorated and stocked with an amazing inventory including hand stitched pillows. Reasonably priced too. I ordered a wine based daiquiri to sip on while shopping. Ended up buying some sage/palo santo incense for prayer time. I could've done some damage to the pocketbook here, but held off this time. At the wine bar, we met a local and asked for brunch recommendations. He pointed towards the Firewild restaurant just down the street. It wasn't much of walk to get there. Once inside, talk about an adorable eating establishment! The interior gives off a mix an industrial and farmhouse vibe. Most of the food is locally sourced. You order at the counter from a simple menu and find a seat. The tables are tastefully decorated with small, real flower center pieces. While waiting for the main course, we decided to whet our appetites with a scrumptious pecan, chocolate chip cookie. Next was the main dish. Y'all, the food was amazing! The cheeseburgers were thick and juicy with quality toppings inside. Not that white iceberg lettuce crap. One bite was all it took to send my tastebuds dancing. It was complimented by an order of homemade potato wedges. For veggies, we chose a beet salad. It was an excellent choice as it was divinely layered with candied pecans. For an extra bonus, you can pop some tags shopping at the Lion's Club thrift store. Purchases there benefit the community via scholarships and helping needy families. Small town, good shopping & great food - I am here for it!

The friends I went with had been there several times before and spoke highly of the experience. The appetizers consisted of oysters, Brie crostini's, and prosciutto wrapped butternut squash! I enjoyed the nicely spiced seafood gumbo, gulf fish, and a few bites of the sweet King cake. I was able to bring some leftovers home too so I could enjoy it again! The owner was there and I think he got the baby in the cake. :-) You can order additional drinks while there and we were recommended a very nice red wine that went well with the meal. I'm so glad I got a check to check it out and look forward to trying it again hopefully this year!

Supper Friends at Swoop House is an Austin institution when it comes to pop up dinners. We have…read morebeen going for many years, maybe ~9 years since our first dinner here! And we keep on coming back. It is fun, delicious and the ambiance inside the house and the gardens is optimized for enjoyment! Supper Friends offers a themed meal (usually dinners, sometimes brunch). It is normally a 5 course prefix menu that is carefully thought out. I'm particularly fond of their passed appetizers - they usually have 3 different types of delicious bites - that you can nibble on as you wait for guests to arrive and dinner to get served. There's an option to pair your meal with wines. The staff there is amazing from the wait staff, the sommelier, the chef, owner (including his family) - all very attentive and friendly! We would like to see more dinners offered. Our last dinner there was a couple of months ago and we've been waiting for the next event since! We can't wait to go back!

I decided to have some chocolate truffles and also some brazilian candies. I first filled a form and sent it to info@chocolatekreations.com and less then 24 hours I got an email back from Rosana asking me if I wanted to try some truffles samples, which was great ! The price was very reasonable for 100 units. I loved all the flavors, I picked 3 different flavors and all my guests loved it! I highly recommend chocolate kreations if you're gonna have a wedding reception, baby shower, bridal shower, birthday parties or just to enjoy this amazing chocolate truffle. you won't regret it!

The food was catered to my school for an event, and I enjoyed my meal. The downside was that the portion given wasn't very filling, but maybe I eat a lot and may be more filling for others?

The chicken (in all meals) is always overcooked and dry, yet somehow any breading on it is a wet mushy glob. That's disappointing considering chicken is the main protein in probably 70% of the meals. Breakfast sandwiches are okay but has very little egg. The breakfast casserole (had it 3 times now) is overcooked and somehow dry despite cottage cheese (why?) being a main ingredient. As for sides and dessert, you can guarantee that it will be fruit cups and the same 3 cookies every meal. If you like dried up chicken, quinoa, weird pasta shapes (cavatappi and orzo) and clumpy, broken emulsion mac and cheese, then Alonti has got you covered!
