Clearly no understanding of what gluten is or how easy it would be to have food be to accommodate another diet. Also no curiosity or follow up to see if they could help. The shortness of her reply was also irritating- no apology or regret or explanation. Just basically to "get lost." Having celiac disease is tough. I guess they made my lunch choice easy. Well, thanks for nothing.

I had never been to Waterford, and my sister had been to this restaurant before and had fond memories. We were chastised a bit by the waitress, apparently we sat at a table that wasn't convenient, although there were only two tables occupied. I ordered the salad with grilled chicken and apples, with the poppyseed dressing, and my sister ordered the Big Salad. Wow, that salads could not have been prettier! The chef took such pride in the presentation and flavor of the food!! I would have given this place a five star review if the waitress had shown us more hospitality. There was ample parking in the lot on site and it was convenient to walk to from the Peeples Island Bridge.

It is his favorite dish and has ordered it many, many times. It is consistently excellent. He ordered it tonight. It is a generous portion and the veal is so tender it melts in your mouth. Tonight I ordered the meat lasagna. It too is a generous portion(I brought half home with me). The lasagna has layers of noodles, meat, ricotta and mozzarella in their legendary sauce. I truly appreciate that they always supply their meals with lots of sauce. Each meal was accompanied by a hearty salad and freshly made Italian bread. Our server was friendly and attentive. We love the old school charm of the dining room: dark wood and Dino and Sinatra for background music. We always look forward to dining at Testo's.

Mike hit all my concerns with A+ responses. Not only were the meals great for the group of 40+, Mike was flexible with last minute changes, catering was delivered in a timely manner, and I could count on his professional customer service for the venue without me even attending. 5 Stars for Michael's Express Catering - my go-to caterer for service, creativity and quality in food items, and Mike's enthusiastic personality to work with.

We found Chef Deanna through Instagram and were intrigued. I sent her a quick note, and next thing…read moreyou know, we're on a phone call for over an hour that felt like 10 minutes. We asked Deanna to cater our 115 person, mountain top wedding with as much fire-prepared food as possible. Think Francis Mallmann (google him if you arent familiar). No running water. No electricity. She was game. She was more than game. She came ready to rumble and was cooking on the fire pit from morning until late night. Deanna is warm, talented, energetic, charming, and generous. She made amazing, locally sourced, fresh food our guests are still raving about. She has real relationships with farmers and producers in the area - her local connections are priceless. Her whole team never broke their professionalism and wowed us with their service and hospitality. She helped our moms serve apple pies instead of wedding cake. She sprinkled flowers all over the buffet tables. She shared with us all her beautiful old plates. She surprised us with a late night round of sloppy joes. She let us borrow all the props and baskets and water jugs for our whole wedding weekend, even for events that she wasn't specifically there for. I could go on and on. Book with Deanna, she is a true unicorn of the catering world.

We postponed two times, and Chef Deanna was incredibly accommodating throughout it all. In fact -- she supported our decision to postpone (even the second time!) when so many people questioned why we were doing it. Postponing twice was absolutely the right decision, and we had our dream wedding on 4/9/22 of this year. Chef Deanna worked with us to create a menu that was rustic and aligned with our tastes/personalities. We did a barbecue buffet for the main course -- with macaroni and cheese, multiple types of meat, cornbread, etc. -- and a more classic cocktail hour with charcuterie/cheese etc. Everything was delicious. My only regret is that I didn't go up for seconds! In ADDITION to that, Chef Deanna provided her gorgeous vintage plates that were a perfect fit with our venue. This really helped make our planning easier, and added to the beauty of the tables on the day. Everything went seamlessly -- We could not have been happier with Chef Deanna's catering!

I wish I had taken more photos but the dips were out of this world - roasted carrot purée one in particular, and the beet dip was amazing too. Then Zach (Zack?) made these lamb skewers and halloumi skewers. The lamb was honestly like the lamb at Miznon it was so good. The cheese on the board, in addition to the Halloumi skewers, was also unreal. He made us something else special too but I can recall. All you have to know is it was gluten free, low carb, and bomb. Definitely looking into Oak & Honey catering that I myself hold in the future. Awesome experience. Shoutout !!!
