Hi, Christopher -
I just wanted to write a quick note of thanks for your incredible catering recently..
We had 11 pax plus one 2 year old in a 13 pax Gulfstream -
First, let me say that the packaging was the very best packaging I've ever received from Hawaii - ever. Yes, I always order catering with the same email template asking for packaging for each food item. This is the FIRST TIME my requests were honored for every single food item right down to the salad dressings in small LEAKPROOF bottles! BRAVO!
Now, the food - because of the quick nature of our departure (arrived Maui on Friday and departed Sunday afternoon) and because of our severe tree seed and nut allergies onboard, I thought I would order from your menu so you didn't have to reinvent the wheel so to speak and I would be confident there would be no allergens nor cross contaminations. . .the great thing is your menu is very creative with lots of choices. I loved that!
My passengers enjoyed literally EVERYTHING - and let me add, that the principal's personal chef was onboard and he couldn't get enough of your catering!! I asked him a couple of times, how does this measure up? He didn't hesitate: This is fantastic! It's really good, Dusti!
Wow! High praise indeed!
The parents of the 2 year old tried some of your dishes and proclaimed the baby could have anything on the menu (not just the plain chicken breasts we provided just for the baby) - and he did eat just about everything!
In short, I won't be using any other caterer when we come to Maui - your sister company, Air Gourmet, on the West Coast, and Rudy's on the East Coast are already my favorite caterers! I've had many issues with Hawaii catering providers, some issues were huge, other issues small and annoying (seriously, why can't this caterer just give me what I asked for?) - Cloud 9 Catering was the very best experience I've had, certainly out of Hawaii....and definitely, through my career, one of the top experiences. . .
I can't thank you enough - I will be posting this to my Facebook page for my other aviation colleagues to see and also Yelp, which I rely on almost daily for guidance on the best services.
We will see you next time! (And the next and the next!)
My best regards, Dusti Taylor read more
