Whitney helped turn a day of grief into a celebration…read more Whitney provided superb service during a really stressful time for me and my family. My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago, and I was tasked with planning and organizing the repass after the memorial at my parents' home. In lieu of cooking for possibly hundreds of people, I called a close friend who is an event planner, and Champagne Taste was highly recommended. I called Whitney on a Sunday morning, and she was not only available but we had a great conversation. She offered an amazing menu which was a Korean and Soul Food fusion, based on my families' blended cultures. She is extremely experienced, and talked me through the service offerings, food offerings, set-up, day of service, and take down and had everything ready to go only 3 days after my initial call. Her staff arrived the day of extremely early to set-up. They were so polite, professional, helpful and a joy to work with on such a tough day. She even threw in a few food items that just the kids would enjoy. We had more than 150 guests, and her staff made sure the food and drinks were flowing, the buffet area was clean, and trash was at bay. They moved around my home and yard like professionals. The food was amazing! The chicken wings, bean salad, and mac and cheese were especially delicious... needless to say we had no leftovers! Whitney and her staff turned such a sad day into a celebration, and I cannot wait for another event...(not funeral) to use Whitney again!

As for our meals. I had creamy white cheese Mac&Cheese and the Grill Chicken sandwich with bacon and parmesan. Both were very good and filling. They wifey had a Chicken Salad Sandwich. She really liked it. Now walking past the desert case, I spotted chocolate chip bread pudding thing. I was very very good. Rich tasting but very good. As for service. There was a line maybe 10 folks ahead of us. It went fairly fast. The ladies did real well moving meals out. Id say we waited maybe 15 minutes for our meals and maybe 10 minutes in line. Again I think they moved us fairly well. We'd eat here again and hope you give it a shot as well.

We are so thankful to the team at Groovin Gourmets for doing a wonderful job with our wedding…read morecatering (and venue setup!). Everyone we spoke to (venues, coordinators, etc.) recommended Groovin, and as soon as we reached out we understood why - from the very beginning they were incredibly responsive, and happy to answer our many (many) questions. Kaylyn made the planning process easy, helping us to develop a staffing plan to help with the set-up of our venue (The Workshop by T&D, which was also great). Groovin staff came the day before to set up ceremony chairs and then immediately after the ceremony efficiently moved all the chairs to the other side of the venue for dinner. They helped us coordinate rentals with Party Perfect and had all the right answers (and questions) during our on-site venue walkthrough. As for the food itself, everything was delicious! People always tell you that you won't eat at your own wedding, but the food was so good that we sat and ate our entire plates. Guests raved and two friends told us that they even came up with targeted strategies to chase down their favorite hors d'oeuvre when they came out. We especially recommend the pork belly hors d'oeuvre and the szechuan salmon entree. From start to finish, Groovin' was efficient and professional, and we would highly recommend them for any event.

All of the caterers in the area have delicious food and Groovin' provided nothing less than exceptional, but it was their customer service that sets them head and shoulders above the rest. During our tasting, we enjoyed complimentary champagne upon arrival after we parked in our reserved and personalized parking space out front. The table was set beautifully, and dishes were presented exactly as they would be on Wedding Day. We were impressed from the jump, and our love of Groovin only grew once we tried the delicious foods! Throughout the process, Michelle was responsive to my MANY emails and questions, and on wedding day, all of our guests were impressed with the professionalism, kindness, outstanding service, and DELICIOUS food! My friends continue to rave about the hot honey chicken biscuits!

We appreciated his flexibility in adjusting our contract a few months after we'd signed (so like 10 months out) and also a month out when we had a few guests with dietary restrictions! Also, as for the value, I got quotes from several of the BBQ caterers and in the area and Rob's pricing was the most competitive! On the day of, he made hot dogs and candied bacon for everyone helping us set up and getting ready -- it was key for those of us who hadn't really planned a proper lunch! The candied bacon was to die for. People loved that he was cooking on site! Everyone raved about the food and several people went back for seconds, but we still had a ton of leftovers. The staff also left the place spotless -- going around and picking up trash until midnight! Rob also took the time to figure out where to dump the trash and took most of it over himself, even though our venue didn't require it. It made it a lot easier for us to clean up the next day. He truly cares about doing a good job and making your big day run smooth!

The grits were really good and the onions rings were fried and battered really well. The sausage however was mediocre. The waitress was very apologetic and even threw in free dessert to make up for the slow service. Thankfully I wasn't in a rush so it was a nice gesture. I would come back and actually get a grit meal based on the side of grits that I had which were phenomenal. Overall I was happy with experience and would come back again.

We had a great selection of food, Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, Ribs, Baked Beans, Tater Tots with cheese and bacon, and a very nice cold pasta and veggie salad.

I can't wait to take another trip to Ashland and visit Jake's!

I met Joe DeFazio at his stand at the South of the James market, and boy can he talk a good game…read more He's from the north-east, moved to Richmond in the early 80s, and has been cooking italian food down here ever since. I think he used to have an actual restaurant, but now he just focuses on catering- corporate events, weddings, etc. He was at the market making sandwiches (which looked awesome, he was sneaking me pieces of proscuitto and arugula while he was making the sandwiches, and it was delicious!) and he had a few risotto balls and scotch bonnets ... I had never had a scotch bonnet so I tried it- turns out its a giant ball of sausage with a whole egg inside it! The sausage was really flavorful (homemade from what I could tell), though the egg was hardboiled inside and I like'um soft-boiled (although I am sure they are supposed to be hard-boiled) since they are sitting inside a sausage ball... but overall very tasty. So, would I talk to Mr. DeFazio if I had an event I needed catered? Yup. Will I visit his stand next time I am at the farmers market? Oh absolutely. I'll be the small woman ordering half a dozen sandwiches to bring home...
