Leticia and Seby were excellent and very attentive to everything. Leticia was especially helpful and even stayed a bit later offering to help us take down tables and other things, which wasn't necessary because we had a crew of our own people there ready to do it.. She was outstanding. I really appreciated everything she did and also offering to help us after hours. I also appreciated the Event Coordinator's excpertise and help (Emily Delauter) in many areas, as I have never planned a big event before! She was extremely responsive and helpful. I would definitely use Twinleaf Caterers again should the occasion arise.

This review is long overdue…read more The food was so satisfying!!! I celebrated my birthday dinner at Sundara, and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming, making it a great choice for a special occasion or a nice evening out. The food was absolutely delicious and tasted authentically prepared. Every dish we tried was flavorful, well seasoned, and beautifully presented. The mango and strawberry lassis were especially memorable--refreshing, creamy, and the perfect complement to the meal. A special thank you to Pradeesh, who was an amazing host and waiter throughout the evening. He was attentive, personable, and helped make the experience feel even more enjoyable and celebratory. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience with excellent food, warm hospitality, and a lovely ambiance. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it for anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine in the area. We will definitely be frequenting this establishment often!

We had a large crowd and a limited budget. Betsy was fantastic and worked within our budget to construct a menu that worked for us. She also had a lot of good foods to choose from. Additionally, we made a few suggestions that were not on the menu and she gladly obliged! The food was GREAT and our guests enjoyed everything! Because our budget was limited, we were only able to order so much so cut it close with the number of people we had. Fewer people ended up coming than planned, so we ended up having the perfect amount. The wings and meatballs were great! Betsy set everything up for us and displayed everything very well. The holiday punch she made for us was also quite the hit! Thanks VERY much, Betsy! We will definitely work with you again if the occasion arises!

DO NOT RECOMMEND! Attended a funeral repast that Betsy Hebron-Marks's company, A Touch of Class,…read moreprovided the food service. The company was recommended by the funeral home that we used for the funeral service. Horrible customer service; just her and a young man working the event. Event booked for 40 persons, only about 20 persons showed up. So, there was quite a bit of food left over. Before the family could get seconds or make a decision about what to do with the extra food, the employees at the funeral home lined up in front of family members, some of them, without even an expression of condolence. It appeared to be a regular arrangement with the Hebron Marks, as she mentioned to several employees, she did not make their special food this time. When the family mentioned this to her and some food service issues, she got upset and said no one had EVER had a problem with those arrangements. Maybe we wouldn't have either if it had been more discrete. It became a big thing. She got angry and removed the fruit platter she had provided as a complimentary item, returned it to the kitchen. When asked her about it she said, "It is mine"! Total lack of professionalism! You would think that the owner would be more mindful of the reason for the event and try to exercise more decorum and tact. Being rude to grieving family members, is not cool. As a side note, the food started out being very tasty but by the time the event was over, given the really bad vibes by the company, the food left a bad taste in my mouth. The family members all agreed! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

Chef Shelley is the best! Last week was my family's second experience with her and it was as good,…read moreif not better than the first time. We decided to throw mom a dinner party at home and we knew Shelley would be perfect. Mom's a vegetarian so we planned out an adventurous and delicious 6-course tasting menu without any animals being harmed haha. Chef started us off with an amuse bouche of collard harissa spring rolls -- absolutely spectacular! That was followed by a healthy and flavorful microgreens and heirloom tomatoes salad, a mind-blowing BBQ Jack Fruit pizza, a hearty and flavorful lentil tagine, "crab" cakes made with Jack Fruit (so creative and scrumptious!), a super rich medley of mushrooms over sweet potato grits, and a dessert of saffron(!) ice cream in a cardamom waffle cone. Our party was so impressed and nobody enjoyed it more than mom. Needless to say, we were all STUFFED! And for a bunch of meat eaters going all-vegetarian, it was an eye opener into how satisfying vegetarian food can be. Shelley did a masterful job of blending and experimenting with flavors and profiles from Africa to the Deep South, from Persia to Paris, and everywhere in between. We can't wait for our next special occasion with her!

Working with Jennifer Tye and the team at dcTaste was seamless. JT read my mind - from the smallest of details to the menu to the ceremony and reception set up - she captured exactly what I wanted. She was much much more than just my caterer. She coordinated with other vendors, helped secure items that fit with our vintage, farm table feel, and pulled together a table setting that was spectacular. The dcTaste team turned the blank canvass of Eastern Market's North Hall into something that would blow the minds of Pinterest followers! Oh....and then there was the food...the fabulous food! More on that in a minute... We had shopped around for other caterers (all uninspiring) before finding dcTaste through a friend. I was so impressed with JT from the get-go - before we ever talked menu - her pricing was incredibly reasonable compared to other caterers in the area and her approach to helping us with event planning perfectly fit my Type A personality.Beyond her incredible talent as a chef, she was mindful of costs and helped advise me on what was worth the splurge and what was an unnecessary expense. JT and I met in person several times to talk through themes/layout/menus, etc. She was very prompt in responding to my many questions by phone and email as well. Every time we spoke, I felt like I was her number one priority and that she was truly invested in making my wedding as fabulous as possible. Through dcTaste, we also had a day-of coordinator who was fully briefed on the theme and vision for the day and worked to ensure I had nothing to worry about. Elizabeth was so thoughtful - she understood that the details matter. She went above and beyond surprising us with added décor that fit perfectly with our theme. She even turned the ladies bathroom at Eastern Market (used by the masses on an average weekend) into a spa quality ladies lounge! I got so many compliments from wedding guests about the ladies room!! The staff at our event were the friendliest and most responsive team I've ever encountered. They seemed happy to be part of our event and greeted our guests with such hospitality. At the end of the night, they took everything down, helped my family load things up and made sure everything was cleaned up as required. Working with dcTaste took the stress out of wedding planning - they ensured that our day was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. Back to the food - best fall menu ever! For cocktail hour, we had passed appetizers that included BBQ pulled pork in tiny mason jars with coleslaw and baked beans on top - so creative and delicious. We also passed mini grilled cheese sandwiches with a tomato soup shooter, bruschetta, and goat cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon. For dinner we started with butternut squash soup with a dab of pumpkin butter followed by 13-hour braised short ribs with mélange of fall vegetables and the best cauliflower puree one has ever eaten. For dessert we wanted a pie table - blueberry, sour cherry, pecan, apple and (our favorite) key lime. We also had red velvet wedding cake but the pies were the big hit! Remarks we heard from our wedding guests specific to the menu: "This meal is amazing; I would order it again if this was a restaurant." "Best food I've ever had at a wedding." "BBQ in a mason jar appetizer was so creative and sooo tasty." "Grilled cheese and tomato soup shooter - perfect for a fall night." "Short ribs were just like my mom's - so good." "The pies!! We should have started with the pies!!" "The key lime pie was so good I wanted to plant my face in it." For any event, with great confidence I strongly recommend Jennifer Tye and dcTaste. I can't wait to work with them again!

They were so good that I must have eaten 6 or 7 of them over the course of two days-- and get this, I don't even like pancakes! But these were soooooo good and tasted light years better than any pancake I've ever tasted in life. Oh, and the scrambled egg dish (with fresh mushrooms, tomatoes, etc.) was deeeeeeeeelish! And this is coming from someone who doesn't generally eat eggs, but rather only egg whites. I had almost decided to pass on the dish on the sheer principle of things, but I'm so glad I gave it a try. I ended up having seconds. And thirds... Add to all this the perfectly crisped bacon and fresh fruit platter -- and this was a perfect breakfast! Everything was fresh, healthy, and well-seasoned -- and it somehow managed to be both a light and hearty breakfast that didn't leave you in a food coma for the rest of the morning. In sum, I am highly impressed with Unique Soul Cuisine and wish I had come across this caterer a week ago when I was booking caterers for a family reunion event that I'm hosting this summer. Will definitely keep this place in mind for any future catering needs though!

I placed my order for the "famous" Reuben sandwich and then looked around. Most shocking were the multiple display cases just past the grill filled to the brim with chocolate. Is this a deli or a chocolatier? As if that wasn't enough, I immediately wondered how the dainty sweets weren't melting because it was easily 80 degrees inside. I couldn't take off my scarf and gloves fast enough but it was too late--I was already sweating. I took my $12 sandwich to go and was glad to have it when I arrived home. From others' photos, I knew not to have too-high expectations. While the sandwich was lacking the typical NY-style deli quantity of protein, the flavor was still pretty good.
