In our case, she cooked in our home on Tuesday, making a beautifully plated hot meal for us all that evening, and filled our refrigerator with fresh food for the rest of the week. Most weeks Gina prepped: Fresh cut up fruit & veg for snacks 1 make ahead breakfast item (breakfast burritos, smoothie packs, etc.) 1 hot lunch I could re-heat for school lunches (like pasta dishes & Mexican beef & rice bowls) 2 additional complete dinners with sides 1 prepared marinade that I could use to marinate a protein later in the week, as well as veggie sides prepped and ready to grill or roast quickly 1 "treat" snack, dessert or quick bread Our family goes through a LOT of food with teenaged boys and athletes, and Gina made feeding them all healthy food throughout the week possible without completely overwhelming me. She adjusted well to allergies and other dietary restrictions (we are a gluten-free household and eat a LOT of protein), and was always open to suggestions and trying new things that worked well for us. Truly, I don't know what we would have done without her during that period. Her food is delicious, nutritious and was well loved by our family. Try her for yours...you really can't go wrong!

We always seem to order out more than anticipated just for ease and convenience, but are left feeling guilty due to the fact that take out is less than ideal for the healthy lifestyle we want to lead. Enter Chef Gina and her amazing company Quality Thyme. She takes the time to understand our nutrition needs, cuisines we love, and custom prepares meals for our family that fit all of those requirements. She is personable, punctual, extremely professional and the food she makes is amazing!! Every dish is full of good nutrients, fresh ingredients, and the whole family loves it. I would recommend her to everyone!

Oh and the food - everything was exceptional! Our guests raved about the garlic noodles (another must have) unique mini Bao Buns and the healthy assortment of skewers.

This review is long overdue!…read more Eric was a joy to work with. He was prompt with communication, and provided perfect recommendations for my private, birthday party dinner. His menu selections were top notch, and my husband and I were thrilled with the outcome. We did 3 appetizers before the 4 course meal began. We did the elote (street corn) appetizer, tuna tartare, and lamb chop. Of note, I don't eat lamb at all, but Eric's Lamb chop was AN AMAZING FLAVOR BOMB! I appreciated that him and his server showed up prepared with all of their supplies (and small plates for serving). For dinner, we had the heirloom tomato and burrata salad, followed by the char grilled octopus, then the Australian Wagyu steak with creme brûlée to finish. The menu was superb, Eric presented his gorgeous plates with detail and attention, and (of course) they cleaned up everything after! This was a PHENOMENAL experience, and we are already looking to book Eric again for my husband's birthday! Eric, you are an artist and amazing chef! Thank you for offering this wonderful experience and making my birthday memorable!

The had catered events there in the past so they knew what they were walking into.....No electricity, no running water and an outdoor venue where they had to bring their "Kitchen" to the parking lot. But what none of us could imagine was that it would rain and rain hard during the event. This did not seem to deter them. The food was HOT, and delicious. They plated 175 salads and then 175 dinners. Their servers were gracious, quick and so sweet. The servers were dripping wet as they had to carry plated meals through the rain to our tables in the tent. They did not complain and were joyful and helpful. One of the servers caught the attention of one of our family members who was blind. This server walked her into the tent when it started raining and gave special attention to her throughout the evening. I will recommend this catering company to everyone who is looking to cater a diner, a party or a wedding. They nailed every aspect of our event through unusual circumstances and i could not be more grateful!!!!! I do not think five stars is a high enough rating for this amazing catering company.

Present and accommodating staff, especially with our dynamic production schedule. Good variety of food menus. They were communicative with our production team on what they needed: two 8-foot tables and an EZ-up tent with walls attached to block the wind from cooling the burners. We'd recommend listing "includes dairy" as an allergy warning moving forward, since we had a couple minor instances with our crew's needs. 2 out of the 3 days, the staff helped us box lunches and leftovers to-go, which was incredibly helpful and appreciated. On the last day, they provided boxes, but our crew had to box it up. Overall, Saltwater Catering was easy to work with, and we'd use them again if we film in the area.

Whether the occasion calls for fine dining or casual BBQ, they can truly do it all -- and do it beautifully. The food is always amazing, the pricing is reasonable, and the team is a joy to work with. They listen carefully, adapt to your needs, and bring your ideas to life. You come to them with a clear vision or just a loose theme and they will work with you to make it special. I've hosted events both at home and at outside venues, and Saltwater has even helped me find a venue when my first choice wasn't available. Their professionalism and dedication are unmatched. At one party, when our ovens suddenly stopped working, the chef and his assistant literally ran back and forth to a neighbor's house to make sure our guests never noticed a thing -- talk about above and beyond! I've trusted them for long-planned events like weddings and for last-minute gatherings like a celebration of life, and they've handled every situation flawlessly. Lou and Nancy are true pros who care deeply about their clients and the quality of their work. I can't say enough good things about Saltwater Catering -- they make every event feel special.
