    We've used them for many of our college events and there's a reason for it! They can be trusted and are extremely professional and reliable. They recently catered our president's college campus holiday event and they always made sure everything was replenished constantly so there was never a moment someone would approach an empty station. The food was flavorful, delicious and warm! Konstanten and Sarine were great to work with!!

    A vegetarian dish

    I attended a parent function at a school where they selected Cynthia Brooks as their catering provider. My wife opted for the chicken entree and I chose the vegetarian option so we could experience more of the variety this service had to offer. Our first course was a delicious salad with tossed greens, various crushed nuts, and a few crumbles of bleu cheese. All the ingredients tasted fresh and the greens were crisp. A variety of warm dinner rolls were also offered, and I was pleased that they had a variety of different breads to choose from. I was not expecting much from the vegetarian dish but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The presentation was beautiful where the dish was coated in a delicious marinara sauce. The entree itself was a tower of ingredients, consisting of a polenta (cornmeal) foundation, followed by a large portobello mushroom. Upper layers consisted of various mild peppers, eggplant, squashes, and onions. I tasted some small samples from my wife's chicken entree. The chicken was moist which is a big plus given that chicken breast is usually dry from catering services. The mashed potato was also good and not overly creamy. Overall I'm pleased with what Cynthia Brooks had to offer. I would have enjoyed my vegetarian dish a little more if there was a way to incorporate a little more protein into it (e.g. quinoa, beans, etc) so that it would be a little more filling.

    Had an amazing experience working with Konstanten & Loni, both were very nice and professional, they answered all my questions and made sure my event catering was perfect, I highly recommend them for any events.

    wish I had a pic with the lids open!

    Fabulous!!!! Working with Loni at CB Catering was a pure joy! Easy, creative, flexible, well priced and wonderful! Our party was fabulous, the staff was incredible, the presentation was gorgeous, and most importantly.... the food was amazing! And set up and clean up were fantastic too! The stuffed chicken breasts were delish! Totally recommend CB Catering!

    I selected Taste of Pace for my husband's 40th surprise birthday party due to some great reviews on…read moreYelp. I threw a hail mary and booked without having tried the food myself before and prayed that the experience would be wonderful. To say i was satisfied with them would be an understatement. Though i booked them last minute (literally 2 days before the event), Brooke was more than accommodating and helped decrease the stress! Communication was clear via phone and email and in the course of a couple of hours, she had given me customized menu options within my budget as well as vegan restrictions -- all while i multitasked at work! On the day of the event, her staff arrived promptly at the discussed time and had the food prepared and set up nicely. Everything was beyond expectations and i was complimented all night at how good the food was. Bonus: they are a zero waste company and also used biodegradable eco-friendly utensils! a company after my own heart. I will definitely book them for future events and recommend them to anyone looking for amazing food and great service with a sustainable mindset!

A criteria we had when searching for a caterer was having a family style option so that our guests had a chance to eat multiple items/dishes. We knew we didn't want each person to just get one plate of food with a single protein choice; we wanted a feast! After finding Taste of Pace through some online research, we scheduled a tasting, which completely blew us away! Pace had us come to a loft where she cooked all of the dishes as we sat, ate, drank, listened to lovely Italian dinner music, and chatted with Brooke to go over the menu options. We instantly booked with them after. They also helped with the open bars we had at the wedding, so the food, the alcohol, the staff were seamless and amazing. We keep getting comments on how delicious the cocktail hour appetizers and dinner platters were. For cocktail hour, we had a charcuterie station, hamachi crudo, risotto cakes, and hangar steak. For dinner, we had an heirloom lettuce salad, braised short ribs, salmon, fingerling potatoes, and seasonal veggies w/ burrata. I was definitely not one of those brides that don't get to eat a bite of their food at their wedding. Oh, I sat and ate my ENTIRE plate of food! My favorite thing about Taste of Pace is that they are a zero waste catering company and they use every part of their ingredients. It's so amazing!

    Our entire experience with LLK goes down as one of our favorites throughout the wedding planning…read moreprocess. Hospitality is not for the weak, and it is oftentimes a difficult endeavor, but LLK went above and beyond, from conception to execution. Given that they are the catering company for our wedding venue (Castle Green), we were initially apprehensive given wedding food's reputation, but thankfully our concerns were quickly put to rest once we started working with Kevin and Kari (the dynamic duo!) on developing our custom menu. They are so skilled and creative in working with an array of flavors and cultures. The entire team-Kevin, Kari, Brooke, and staff- was passionate about making our day special and committed to collaborating on a custom menu that we adored and felt good about sharing with our loved ones. We couldn't have asked for a kinder, more open-hearted group to work with. Our friends and family (some of them are notoriously picky eaters) were so impressed by the food--"wedding food" doesn't always have the best connotation, but the food served at our reception absolutely knocked it out of the park. Everything is customizable to your heart's content and they do an incredible job at guiding you through it all. Choosing linens, glassware, etc. was also a breeze. Commitment to getting it right and honoring our vision and my Chinese heritage. It was a small detail that was deeply meaningful and completely unexpected. From sourcing a specific brand of ingredient down to using Calrose rice as a nod to my husband's family roots in rice farming, LLK's menu was a fun nod to our respective family backgrounds. We had mentioned enjoying orange chicken but beyond incorporating a bit of Americanized Chinese food, I didn't anticipate that any other cultural food would work. LLK took it to the next step and proposed a tasty soy marinated/five spiced deviled egg with pork sung on top (a crowd pleaser and my favorite appetizer from cocktail hour; also a childhood staple for me growing up). The charcuterie table was phenomenal and all plating was elegant, fitting to the occasion. Our tasting with Kevin was an event all on its own! We had such a fun evening of genuine conversation and enjoying Following the tasting, LLK's team checked in with us regarding our tasting notes. We were impressed by how well Kevin and the team were able to recalibrate the final flavors accordingly to deliver exactly what our taste buds hoped for based on our initial tasting notes. Communication with them was always easy despite their busy schedules. We can't recommend them enough and hope to visit them at their restaurant pop ups!!

    It took me a long time to decide if I wanted to leave a 1 star review because my policy is, if you…read moredon't have anything nice to say, don't say it and chance hurting someone's business, however after mulling this over for 8 weeks, I've decided that people should be aware. We had a premiere party at Castle Green in December where your only choice for catering by contract with the building is Little Lily's Kitchen. Kari and Booke were very nice, but their prices were insane for what we needed. In any case, we moved forward with an 8K invoice for a "finger-food" order for 250. When we found only 70 had RSVPd, we obviously had to honor our non-refundable contract for the 8K, which we did in good faith and ahead of schedule. But since we were at 1/3 capacity, I asked for an additional choice of finger food, which they did. The problem came in the fact that we paid for 6 servers and received 3. The food didn't begin circulating (by a very sweet wait staff) until 45 minutes after guests arrived and then it was very intermittent with many never receiving food. For 8K I expected non-stop food for our 70 guests, instead what I got (and didn't find out till later) was a lot of hungry people. On top of that, we had 16 guests report stomach issues the next morning - the commonality being goat cheese. When I addressed this to Brooke and Kari, I was not looking for a refund - after all, maybe it was a stomach virus that circulated within 24 hours, but I was dismayed by the fact that they didn't respond at all- zero, zip, nothing, not even a thank you for our business. It was the BIGGEST ripoff I've ever experienced with a caterer. For anyone having an event at Castle Green that doesn't involve a very large payout for the owners, buyer beware.
