We hired Savage Chef to provide catering for a funeral luncheon, including setup, service, and…read morecleanup. Unfortunately, the experience did not come close to meeting expectations, especially given the nature of the event and the nearly $5,000 fee they quoted. To be fair, in the end, they knocked off several hundred dollars because of the disaster their inability to handle the job caused. The gesture was inadequate, considering our family did most of the actual work that day. The caterer arrived late, and only part of the staff showed up. The sandwiches had not been prepared in advance, the soup was not ready on time--nor was there enough, and twelve of the deceased's family members had to step in to help prepare food while more than 200 guests waited. Our family not only made the sandwiches, they also brought them out to the waiting guests. It made an already sad day become an embarrassing mess. The bakery bread we were promised was not used; instead, grocery store bread was served. Ty said the baker couldn't accommodate the volume of bread - we had this catering agreement in place for over 1 1/2 months. We were never told of this prior to the event. Beverages were also not stocked properly, and we had to repeatedly ask for refills. Some family members had to carry in cases of water from the caterer's car in the twenty-below weather. We chose Savage Chef based on positive reviews and the presentation of his food, but neither the service nor the execution nor the quality lived up to the advertising. Given the circumstances and cost, this was a very disappointing and upsetting experience. I cannot in good conscience recommend them to anyone.

They helped us plan the perfect menu of small bites, while taking in our feedback about our guests. Delivery, setup and takedown was perfectly on time and Nicole was a pleasure to talk with and work with! The food from Chowgirls is phenomenal! The whole agency was raving and asking where it was from - we even had a couple of people want to use them for their upcoming celebrations! Some highlights for me included: * The hot chocolate tarte was rich and delicious - and it truly was a hot chocolate flavor! * The apple manchego sandwiches were the perfect blend of fall flavors, and everyone was shocked it wasn't a dry sandwich with all the toppings! It was a crowd favorite. * the steak skewers were perfectly cooked and tender, even served cold! * The mezze platter was delicious and filling, with some unique flavors Overall, I would recommend Chowgirls to anyone and would definitely use them again!

This event was geared towards upper management and I needed something nicer, thanks to Minneapolis Catering Company I got it. Because this is a catering company I'm going to depart from the Good/Bad/Ugly format and instead look at the key factors that would make me use them again. Menu Selection: They have a decent menu with a number of different levels to choose from. My selections were: Beef Burgundy - You could taste the wine and the richness of the sauce was tempered by the basmati rice. Salmon with Hollandaise - This got more than a few compliments. The fis was moist and the sauce was lemony without being overpowering. Chicken with a lemon butter sauce - This was ok, I wish it had a little more body to the sauce, but I may have just been craving chicken picatta. It was moist and that's what counts. Mixed veggies - Not overcooked, seasoned lightly Basmati Rice - Simple, made a great foil for the rich sauces Potatoes - OH MY GOD - I think they were poached in angel tears and then sprinkled with crack. They were outstanding. Seriously, get the potatoes! Service: They were prompt, efficient and had everything ready 10 minutes ahead of schedule. This gave me breathing room and nothing felt rushed. Price: They worked within my budget and I was happy with the results. The Short of it: If you need a nice lunch catered in the Bloomington area, call them. I was happy I did.

That was 9 years ago and "Annie's" is still going strong. Since that time I have personally used her services on several occasions and given her name out multiple times.
