Chef Sunshine Catering provided very lovely food for our wedding this past September (my mom still…read moresays the majority of the apps/dishes were too salty, agree to disagree). Unfortunately, my mom and I CAN agree that the food is now the only positive component of our interaction. This company has been so unprofessional and dismissive of my family's reasonable concerns regarding our wedding post event and it is all very upsetting, especially following such a joyous event. The gist is that we had a few basic points of feedback that we wanted addressed, which included the salads not being individually plated and pre-set (the salad type was specifically chosen given options delineated by the caterer for this purpose), running out of potable water (of which we paid for), and a variety of guest service concerns including the bartender informing guests that they were "running out of wine" when we had cases of wine available to be brought out. Our contact responded to our concerns very unprofessionally and over-reactively (IMHO) in her first email. Then, when my mom took the time to provide further detail and support of the issues at hand, and express her own frustrations as a key financial stakeholder in the wedding, that email was met with a very terse response that didn't even address any of the items that had been thoughtfully (and factually) laid out. All our contact said was that they "take all clients concerns seriously" and then "wished us all the best" and then, that was that. Short and not so sweet. Never an apology or ownership, just defensiveness, blame, and then a couple thank you for the feedback. We paid this company thousands of dollars for our once in a lifetime event and not having concerns addressed appropriately and professionally is just a complete let down, on multiple levels. I understand that there are not a ton of options out on the peninsula. What I am confused about is the lack of adherence to even a base line of customer service, let alone this "superior service" that they boast. To make matters even more disappointing, to date we have not been contacted by Chef Sunshine herself (not to mention neither she or Chef Patrick checked in on us once at our Tasting which is fairly standard practice). I have over 10 years of experience working in the hospitality industry and I was so excited to work with a caterer whose reviews boasted kindness, price flexibility, and creativity--in the end, given our final interactions with this company, success in all of these areas (and more) fell very short of expectations.

My now husband and I hired Sunshine's to cater our wedding for about eighty people out in Port…read moreGamble, and they were fabulous! I can't even begin to describe how many compliments we received on the food. Between an amazing cheese platter featuring all local cheeses (I'm still receiving inquiries about which cheese they used!) to a beautifully plated, delicious buffet with a menu customized just for us, there are no words to describe how tasty everything was! Their service was also beyond reproach. Since our venue typically uses a list of set caterers they require any outside caterers to tour the premises so they have a clear proposal for how they use the space. Sunshine, her husband, and their chef all drove nearly 80 miles and took a ferry to spend the afternoon touring the space. We were also able to sit down with Sunshine and plan out a menu that worked perfectly with our theme and worked well within our budget. Their prices were extremely reasonable and well worth every cent! During our wedding they went out of their way to make sure my husband and I got to try everything, packaged up all the leftovers for us, and even helped clean up! Without a doubt, hiring Sunshine's was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. I couldn't be happier with the results and encourage anyone thinking of hiring them to do so without a doubt!

Thanks again for everything!

Tried their BBQ for the first time today. They were at the Taste Of Port Orchard. First, I'll say…read morethis is the best BBQ I've had anywhere. I had the 1/2 beef brisket sandwich and it was the real deal. The pitmaster said he'd had it in the smoker for 18 hours. You could taste every delicious hour. Chopped brisket with a nice smoky flavor served on a small bun. They had squeeze bottles of their housemade BBQ sauce. I chose the Tasty Texas (I think that's the name) which a lady said was their spiciest. It wasn't spicy at all to me but it was thick, rich, and oh so good. Secondly, I'm very frustrated with them because I can't walk into a restaurant to eat more of their Q. I have to wait for special events and look to see if they'll be there. Just so happens I tried the brisket sandwich of another well-known BBQ guy yesterday at another local festival. I was very disappointed because it didn't taste like real BBQ. I'm a home smoker and I know how to make great BBQ brisket and pork ribs. So trust me when I say again that All Fired Up is the real deal. Be sure to check them out if they're at a booth someplace. Next time out I'm trying their baby back ribs. If you're planning a catered event and want top quality BBQ definitely give them a call.

Todd, the general manager, contacted me right away with a reasonable quote for our event and was willing to come out to a rural residence. We requested a drop off party so they provided all the disposable chafing dishes, silverware, plates, drinks, etc. They were easy to work with to make the arrangements. Oh my goodness... the food was fantastic! It arrived piping hot and the BBQ spread was amazing! Everyone kept saying how much they loved the BBQ chicken and the sweet ribs! The potato salad and coleslaw were amazing, too. Pound cake, whipped cream and fresh strawberries rounded out the meal. Five stars for the excellent service and fantastic meal! Thank you Todd and Lora!

And of course, the food was delicious with asparagus wrapped phyllo spears, vegan charcuterie boards, roasted vegetables, sweet potato topped with goat cheese and honey drizzle. Perfection!

Nola's provided catering and bartending services for our holiday cocktail party with about 30…read morefriends at our home. I corresponded with Nola herself a couple of times in the weeks leading up to the event, and she was very accommodating and patient with me as I changed my mind a couple of times regarding the menu and level of service. It is not cheap to have an event catered, period, but we wanted to have it be an extra-special celebration where we could enjoy ourselves with our guests without the hassle of preparing, warming, plating and serving food and making individual cocktails for everyone. Nola's came through, big time! Nola herself and her bartender, Brandi, arrived a couple of hours early and got themselves set up. We barely had to do a thing once we discussed with them where the bar and food platters should go. We got to just go upstairs and take our time getting ready, and come down a few minutes before the party start time and have Brandi fix us a drink to have in hand as our guests arrived. So luxurious! The party was so fun, thanks in large part to Nola and Brandi and the fabulous food, drinks, and service. Our guests raved about all of the yummy platters - particularly the shrimp with aioli sauce, the mushroom flatbread bites, the smoked salmon toasts, and the charcuterie board with roasted and pickled vegetables. People got extra glowy and happy from Brandi's amazing cocktails, including incredible manhattans and French 75s. Nola and Brandi chatted with our guests and even joined in some of the dancing at the end of the evening! We got to get glamorous and visit with everyone fully after so many months of cancelled and postponed events and having to worry about getting together with too many people. It was, in a nutshell, a truly special and memorable event thanks to Nola's, and was completely worth it. We will definitely be using them again. Highly, highly recommend.

Just in time for a party of 13 adults. So I placed my order and some wonderful person named Dao provided a confirmation and total. Fast forward a couple weeks, my order was ready at the requested time, packed very carefully, and just as delicious as I'd imagined. No surprises or disappointments, but lots of happy and full dinner guests. Prices were pretty reasonable and exactly as listed online. This was my order: Grilled pork skewers (Thit Heo Lui) Papaya salad with shrimp (Goi Du Du Tom Thit) Steamed rice roll noodle (Banh Cuon Cha Lua) Egg rolls (Cha Gio Chay) Fresh rolls w/shrimp & pork (Goi Cuon) Each dish was tasty and the trays were very full. We had leftovers for DAYS! Definitely ordering again for future events.

We get the same breakfast from another catering company every other week, so thought we'd try a new place. My first experience was with the order - this is actually my 2nd time ordering, the last time was for some breakfast burritos. Both times I had problems ordering on the website and had to call. When I initially did my research, they came in similar priced if not a bit lower than the other company we regularly use. After placing my order, I noticed they charge a 20% "production fee" in addition to tax, gratuity, and then an additional 3.5% to pay by card, so it ended up being $100 more. Also, I figured for ordering a hot breakfast for 30 people they would put it in disposable chaffers to keep hot, but they didn't. A nitpicky complaint is the chopstick serving tools for the fruit didn't work well at all either. Overall, we weren't very happy.

I have been to 2 weddings in the past several weeks and both of them were catered by this outfit…read more The first wedding they arrived late and did not have enough appitizers for the guests, then ran out of food for dinner for nearly 1/3 of the guests. The second wedding they were to arrive at 3pm, by 4pm they had not arrived. Repeated phone calls went to voicemail. They finally returned a call after 5pm...2 hours late! Said they were at the wrong church (for 2 hours???? I think not) got directions even though they had supposedly done a wedding at the church before. They finally arrived 2 and a half hours past when they were supposed to arrive. To their credit, they did set up quickly and there was plenty of food for the guests. The food was good. I felt very badly for the bride and groom though, they did not need this added stress on their wedding day. If you want someone reliable and there on time, this is not the caterer for you.
