Back in late August, my cousin hosted an outdoor graduation party for both her children..one had…read morejust gotten his bachelor's degree and the other her master's degree. She hired Sensational Paella to cater the event and it was an inspired and terrific choice. First of all having paella was a welcome and unique departure from what might have been the more usual outdoor barbecue food. Nothing wrong with that; we love good barbecue. But having paella was not only delicious but super entertaining and fun as the guests got to watch the two chefs cooking. Secondly, this paella is delicious and Sensational Paella has a number of types certain to please most. My cousin chose 3 types of paella to be served: seafood, vegetarian and Paella Campesino which was a country style meat paella. I tasted each of them and they were all delicious. My favorite perhaps was the seafood paella. The food was just beautiful to behold...the colors and textures made everything look like works of art. As the saying goes, we eat first with our eyes before we even taste the food and the food visuals here were spectacular. The chefs work with these enormous and traditional paella pans. I'm a fan of kitchen wares and of course now I want my own (smaller) version. It seems authenticity is important to this company which I appreciate. The chefs were friendly and accommodating particularly with a crowd of people wandering about the garden eager to watch them cook. It was almost a magical experience. The party was a great success for many reasons but certainly the food, its presentation and the culinary showmanship of the Sensational Paella staff were big parts of making an already special day even more special, interesting, interactive and fun. After going to an event like this, one can't help but to start plotting for one's own paella party. The wheels in my head are turning.

The 3 paellas they made; Seafood Paella, Paella Campesina (Country Style Meat Paella), and Vegetarian Paella, were an absolute hit in every way. Not only did they taste amazing but they looked beautiful and many of our guests spent time watching the chefs at work (their stand was like a show!). If we are host another big event, we will be calling Sensational Paella.

David Kardos, owner of Natural Selections, did an amazing job providing catering for my sister's…read morebaby shower this past Saturday. We enjoyed homemade blueberry and cheese scones; spinach and cheddar tartlets; pear, caramelized onion, and gorgonzola crostinis; and various other sandwiches and tasty, gormet snacks. Everything tasted amazing and went along perfectly with our garden tea party theme! David arrived hours before the event, prepped and prepared each dish and carefully laid out things out with beautiful presentation. Guests complimented the food throughout the entire party. We were left with a nice amount of leftovers that we intend to use at a family gathering today! Prices were very reasonable for the quality and care that David puts into each dish. Highly recommended.

Two Chefs catered my daughter's bridal shower in my home this past weekend and it was beyond…read moreperfect. It was luncheon food starting with assorted cheeses, fresh fruit, three different types of quiche, three different gourmet sandwiches, a delicious tropical pasta salad, and a spinach strawberry salad. They provided yummy cookies and brownies for dessert. I received many compliments for the food. They provided two servers to set up and clean up and they did a wonderful job. They were very pleasant, attentive, efficient and unobtrusive. We also had a cake that we bought separately and the staff was more than willing to cut it for us. Jamie was very pleasant to work with and was very patient with all of my questions, requests, and changes. I am looking forward to hosting another event so I can use them again!

I spent a long time trying to decide on a caterer since food (and cost) were very important to me…read morefor my wedding. Alison, the event manager, not only acts as your caterer but she really does handle the event coordinator role too, and she is very familiar with it, so ladies, you can sit back and relax. Rentals, decorations, food - they handle it ALL so don't bother hiring an event coordinator - trust me, with these guys you don't need one. Budget: The people at Two Chefs really do work with your budget. In fact, they work harder than the typical caterer to be within your budget, whatever it may be. Alison understood me from the get-go and knew straight away what things could be done to lessen the numbers while still being completely honest with me. Actually, I think they ended up making it UNDER-my budget. Tasting: I ended up doing a tasting with Walter (one of the three head chefs) and he was phenomenal, staying with us to joke around and answer any questions we had. When we gave him our opinions on the food (the original chicken we had was a little dry and we weren't fond of the foccacia for a wedding setting), he didn't get upset. Instead, he pondered for a while and recommended a ton of other chicken dishes. That's what I call being a great chef. You don't take things personally, instead you aim to help your client as best you can. The meats at the tasting were all tender and juicy, the salad was extremely fresh (we had a choice of 3!) and the mashed potatoes were silky smooth and left you wanting more. Issues?: There was a slight problem with the linen numbers the day before the wedding and I started to get a panicky, but Steve (another head chef) stepped in and said that he'd take care of it. He even called me a second time to reassure me and tell me not to be worried about a thing. Again, amazing. Day of: Kathy (event coordinator) was a comforting presence at my side at all times to make sure I had everything I needed and to remind me of when I needed to do things. Steve (one of the 3 head chefs) was always there bringing me food so that I would be able to eat. Thank you Steve! What people said?: It was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. One friend said that normally the beef is either way undercooked or really dried out, but this was perfectly cooked beef and he had several helpings. And they were extremely efficient at clearing away plates, the place was spotless! More importantly, you're not a number to them - you become someone they want to get to know personally and to make happy - which is something you really can't pay for. Forget the big expensive caterers who end up costing you a fortune for food and service, Two Chefs works the service cost in so that you can see the final number and they work extra hard to make your wedding (or any event) perfect.

Ann was easy to work with, delivered on everything she promised. The food was hot & delicious in a plentiful buffet for our over 100 guests. She was like an old friend by the time I met her the night of the function as we'd been talking via phone the weeks leading up to the event. It was affordable too. Her website shows the variety of menu options and there is something for everyone & every budget. At the end of the meal, she packaged it all up in the kitchen of the hall and we were able to share the leftovers with guests at the end of the night. We were very pleased with House Calls & would use them again.

We booked Ryan to cook dinner for my mom's 70th birthday. It was the first time we've ever done…read moreanything like this. Naturally, because it was something new, we were a bit anxious about the experience. We weren't sure of all the moving pieces or how easy/difficult the process would be. When Ryan left on Saturday evening, our kitchen sparkling, it was like he had never even been there, except we were stuffed with incredibly delicious food. From my first contact with Ryan to the when he left my mom's house, it was all so easy. The menu was easy to decide on (Ryan has a huge selection of dishes he can put together). Ryan was easy going and guided us through each step. Ryan brings everything he needs, pots, pans, silverware, china, and food. He got to work right away, and when it came time to sit down, we were treated to an incredible feast. Every course (we had 5 courses) was delicious and elegant. We were served by Ryan's assistant. It was really like we were in a restaurant. I was eating with my back to the kitchen, and it was hard to even know he was there. He was efficient and didn't distract from our dinner (he was also willing to chat when we pulled him into the conversation.) If you are at all anxious about the process of having a chef cook dinner in your house, you shouldn't be if you pick Ryan. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Here's what we ate (If we could do it again, we'd eliminate one of the first three course... we. were. stuffed.): Hard Cider Pumpkin Bisque (a table favorite. Fall in a bowl) Wedge Salad (the dressing was dynamite) Scallops and risotto (Another hit. This is where we were feeling rather full). Filet OR herb encrusted chicken (maybe the best filet I've had in a long while. Just cooked perfectly.) Tangerine Creme Brulee (blow torch demo included!). If you're thinking about doing something romantic for a significant other or planning a larger dinner (we had 9 people), you should hire Ryan. You won't regret it and you'll impress everyone.

The braised short rib grilled cheese appetizers were nothing short of amazing and could have been a meal in themselves ... but we continued with fantastic corn chowder with crab, arugula salad with melon and pine nuts, and stuffed cod that melted in our mouths. Add in lava cakes ... and you have a meal that is totally over the top. But the best part of the night was Chef Ryan and his assistant Leslie - who cooked, served and cleaned up. As they left you would never have known anyone was in the kitchen !!! Simply amazing. If you want the luxury of have your own professional chef for an evening - call Chef Ryan - he's the best !

We went with short rib, cod, and vegetarian dishes, and people were raving about the food all night. The passed apps were a HUGE hit, and so were the drinks (especially the signature gin drink!). The team at Fireside took such good care of us and our guests on our wedding day, and even leading up to it as well - their tasting events are so fun and delicious to boot! We had a blast working with them, and I'd recommend any venue with Fireside Catering to anyone getting married.
