Beth was amazing to work with; she made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable, she was open to our breakfast for dinner menu and was very communicative! The food was everything we hoped for the day of the wedding from the hors d'oeuvres to the main course, everything was delicious and perfect. The staff were amazing as well, the servers were on top of our needs, very polite and well dressed! Our event manager Julie was the sweetest and greatest human on the planet; she made me feel like my wedding day was under control. If I could have had a group hug with the whole staff at the end of the night, I honestly would have. I recommend them for anyone who wants quality food and service for any event!!

From start to finish, Monique was an absolute dream to work with -- organized, responsive, and so easy to communicate with. She made coordination leading up to the event feel effortless, and her professionalism gave us complete confidence that everything would run smoothly (which it did!). On the wedding day, Monique arrived promptly and came fully prepared. Her mobile charcuterie display was stunning -- beautifully styled, fresh, and filled with delicious ingredients. She went above and beyond to ensure everything stayed perfectly chilled throughout cocktail hour, which was such a thoughtful touch given the warm weather. Guests were obsessed with the charcuterie boats -- they were not only adorable but gone by the end of cocktail hour! We also loved the personal, creative details Monique brought to the setup. She added her own florals and charming décor touches that made the table even more special. Plus, she came equipped with covers and small tabletop fans to keep everything fresh and bug-free -- her attention to detail was unmatched. As wedding planners, we work with many vendors, and Monique truly stood out. She was proactive, professional, and brought such positive energy to the day. We can't recommend Garnish & Graze enough and are so excited to work with Monique again in the future! -- Jenna & Amalia The Butterfly Effect Weddings

This space is handi-accessible which was a big factor for venue selection. The staff was so friendly and attentive and the space was able to accommodate a DJ with the dance floor and a space for cocktail hour with an ice cream bar, yum! The cocktail hour consisted of seemingly endless appetizers/hor dourves and the bartender was awesome during the open bar including signature drinks for the brides and their cat, Rory (yes, named after Gilmore Girls). The main course was buffet style with coffee and cake afterwards. We had to leave earlier, but I was also told my friends had a fry bar as well! Certainly a nice place for a Sunday wedding on Cinco De Mayo!

We had our wedding at Hawks Landing on 10/31/24. After…read moretouring and speaking with them we were given a few catering companies that they work with as "part" of planning your wedding with them as a venue. We decided with based on what we were seeing that Spice Catering was the better of the options, visually. I will not be personally naming names in this review. However, we had a horrible experience with almost every person we spoke to from Spice.Miscommunications, not responding to emails, telling us one thing over the phone and another thing via contract. The food was good, better than ok but definitely not the type of food where you get to "act" a certain way because it 's just "THAT" good where people could possibly forgive crappy, unprofessional attitudes for. We were told because we were having a week day wedding that there would be an adjusted price, that never happened; apparently we were some how given an "old" catering menu which already reflected a decreased price; and should have used our telepathy to know that. We were asked to make a spread sheet of every guest and what meal they were receiving, plus how many children we had 11 and under etc as this would also change the out the door price. My sister and I ended up doing more work for this catering company than any other vendor we had AND we actually paid the catering company for an ADDITIONAL person who was handling this- we had plated dinner instead of buffet style which apparently for 76 people put spice over the edge. And we were charged initially TWICE for the same guests. 3 days before the wedding they tried to tell us that all of the kids at our event would be eating chicken tenders and not the meals they had picked MONTHS ago when sending back their RSVP'S. This was never discussed as an option at all. What we were told was; that children would get a smaller plated portion of whatever they chose at a discounted rate. Spice was all about the money and all about being as rude as they possibly could and I am truly disappointed in their lack of professionalism, turn around time and their immediate need to blame other people. There was 0 accountability and to be honest I was petrified day of, as food is one of the most important things at a wedding. I do not want any other bride to feel that way, so hopefully after this review Spice gets their act together or other brides go with another catering option.

I've never had anything catered from here, but based on my…read morelunch experiences, I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that whatever you get catered would be very good, too. Cusano Catering does your traditional Italian favorites, and at lunch they have a variety of sandwiches and salads to choose from, plus a few specials. The specials are written on a whiteboard, and samples of each dish are also neatly and adorably displayed in a glass case on the counter. (The baked chicken special yesterday looked really good.) I've only gotten lunch to go, but there's a cute counter to sit at and a few small tables in the dining area. There appears to be a lot of regulars at lunchtime, which makes sense because the staff is very warm and welcoming, and it feels like the food is made and served with love. In terms of sandwiches, everything I've had has been very good. The eggplant parm and meatball subs are quality, and cold cuts are sliced fresh when you order. I'm a big fan of the Italian combo. The salads at the counter all look great, and one day I might treat myself to a dessert (they have a number of baked goods and also different flavors of gelato). I got a fruit salad yesterday to go with my sub, and it was very fresh and delicious. This place is cash only, and parking is a little tight - just a few spaces in back. I work within a reasonable walking distance, so when it's nice out, and I have cash on me, I'm willing to make the walk over.

Everything for everyone --from vegans to meat lovers. Great sliced roast beef (there was a carver) and pastas. They outdid themselves with their desert display -- so many tempting items. The best? Their lemon cake. Service was efficient and professional as well. Tables were cleared regularly and I liked that they asked before just grabbing your empty plate. They also have a stage and dance floor in the main room. Plus a bar area. And screen for projected images or a power point. Would recommend them for an event if you need a venue in the area.
