A Family Affair Catering provided exceptional service for my friend's 75th birthday celebration,…read morewhich I hosted for 105 guests. The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavorful options that truly pleased the crowd. The presentation and overall setup were beautiful and added an elegant touch to the event. Chef Darryl was professional, organized, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. The pricing was very reasonable, and he even offered a wonderful tasting prior to signing the contract, which gave us great confidence in our decision. I highly recommend A Family Affair Catering for any special occasion.

To consider this a legitimate "business" is laughable, just like their food. Arrived over an hour…read morelate to an event and instead of being apologetic, had an attitude. Dinner was for 25 + people and there was barely enough food for 12. Not that this mattered, as EVERYTHING was inedible and there were no plates, cutlery or napkins provided. I take that back, the store brought $2.00 (price still on) cornbread and $16.00 cake were the ONLY items edible. The Mac and Cheese was dry and bland. I will give them credit for it being both overcooked and undercooked all in the same batch. I'm still trying to make sense of that! The only adjective that even remotely describes this Mac and Cheese is "disrespectful". Like, seriously, the disrespect was 10/10. The chicken was undercooked and bland. How do you make jerk chicken bland and soggy? I'm actually curious. The "blackened" salmon was overcooked yet not blackened, creating another "make it make sense" moment. I immediately spat out the greens. They were undercooked, not under-seasoned but literally "not seasoned". Wait, I take that back too, if you count the dirt and grit as seasoning. They should be ashamed of themselves for ripping people off. Pictures don't lie. The fact that they were sent pictures and still stood behind their product tells you all you need to know. Please, please, PLEASE do not let these people ruin your event and more importantly your special moments and memories. There are so many other respectable and legitimate Black-owned catering companies i.e. Ohhs and Ahhs, Henry's, Hitching Post.

I cannot say enough positive things about the St. Germain team! Carrie was attentive, patient, and…read moreso helpful throughout the planning process. She responded to my questions quickly and was always willing to adjust our invoices or provide recommendations. They are also the most affordable company I've found in the DC area. On site, the catering team went above and beyond to ensure our events went seamlessly. I have never had guests compliment the staff and the menu as much as they did with St. Germain! As the event coordinator, I appreciated that Ceecho, Donal, and Johnny checked in with me throughout the event, quickly adjusted to the schedule changes, and were efficient and helpful throughout the set up and tear down process. I highly recommend Saint Germain for our next catered function in DC! We will be a repeat customer for sure!

I cannot express how much I love and recommend Saint Germain Catering. I was in a bind because my…read morecaterer fell through at the last minute. Saint Germain came through like a superhero! Their menu is expansive and can accommodate all types of dietary restrictions--we had dairy free, vegan, pollotarian, and gluten free folks, and they all enjoyed the food. Set up and tear down were efficient, and the staff was so friendly, polite, and professional! And the food! I over ordered, so the whole library staff got to eat, too. Everyone raved about the buffets (we did a "cookout" style, a "fajita bar" style, and we had breakfast for three days). Everything was cooked well and seasoned well! The fresh fruit was delicious! Can I recommend them any more than I have? If I'm ever in the DC/DMV area again for an event, I will definitely give them a call.

I recently used Farm to Feast to cater my daughter's Sweet 16. From start to finish, everyone at…read moreFarm to Feast was wonderful. Everything was handled through their online request for a quote and email. Responses were usually received within 24 hours. I never felt like I needed to pick up the phone and reassure myself that they were taking care of my request. The online quote form is very detailed and when I stated that the theme for my daughter's party was Lord of the Rings, they ran with it. The creativity shown in the menu was amazing. It made my daughter extremely happy from the start. Hannah definitely worked to keep the menu within our budget, offering suggestions on where we could tighten things. The week of the event, they were back in touch to finalize details and on the day of the event, Chloe showed up with the food at the designated time and was very professional and polite but also very approachable. She did an excellent job setting up and explaining all the dishes. Finally, the food! Absolutely amazing! The hits were the leaf-wrapped elven lembdas bread and Balin's spiced beef (brisket). The brisket was so tender it melted in your mouth. While those two were the standouts, the rest of the food certainly held its own and disappeared quickly. I would definitely use Farm to Feast for any future catering needs.

The ham and biscuits were pasty with deli ham; ropa vieja empanadas were unimpressive and doughy, chicken skewers were bland- looked poached, mini crab cakes were not memorable. The staff was responsive, available and worked easily with my contact so I had guessed it would be fine. I was moved by the name and had expected freshness, goodness and quality. I wanted my husband's reception to be beautiful with delicious food but instead, I was embarrassed with what was served. Don't be fooled by the pictures on the site, buyer beware.

Putting on the Ritz Catering staffs a hardworking conscientious staff of chefs, servers, and…read morebartenders. Bobby Mitchell, the owner is nonstop busy, it seems. Nevertheless, he is responsive by phone or email within a short turnaround time. My initial contact with Bobby led to a wonderful sit down dinner reception for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding on May 8, 2026. We sampled various items on his appetizer and entree menu a few months before the wedding. In the process, we received meaningful suggestions to fit our palates and budget. My daughter wanted family-style service, and we found their servers to be attentive, swift, and accommodating throughout the evening. I was not able to sample the appetizers at the reception. However, my guests were quick to say they particularly enjoyed the shrimp and grits, lamb chop lollipops, and chicken bites. The bartenders worked efficiently to serve the bride and groom's signature drinks and other desired cocktails. The suggestion of how much liquor to procure for the event turned out to be way more than we needed. We were able to return the unopened bottles, however. We had less than stellar experiences with other caterers we considered. One in particular charged $150 per person in our group of four for us to sample their food. That tasting and the food were hardly worth the $600 price tag! Putting on the Ritz put us at ease during the week leading up to the wedding, largely because Bobby Mitchell knew the layout of venue, met with us to discuss setting up the cocktail hour and dining room, and other other helpful advice. This professional approach made for a pretty seamless event without any serious glitches. I highly recommend their food, service, and reliability.

Buyer beware! We worked really hard with this business to book them for our wedding because we…read morereally enjoyed the food and thought they were very reasonable and wanted to create a good working relationship. When we had to change our wedding date due to COVID-19, even though they said they were working reasonably with us and all their customers, they refused to give us our deposit back- citing bad business and that our $2500 deposit was to cover their expenses in putting together a venue and doing 1 site visit. We asked them if we could use the deposit towards our rehearsal dinner so we didn't lose our money- which they happily agreed and said they could do that date- then after a week they got back and said they could no longer do it (obviously because they booked other business). We eventually negotiated to them having us return $1,000 of our deposit back and them keeping the rest. Don't believe everything you hear with these guys- they give their word that with COVID that they want to be flexible but when it came down to the money they chose their business over the customers, citing the need to keep their ballrooms and warehouse rent up (we only contracted with them for catering services at a separate site) They definitely lost repeat customers in us and we're writing this review so that other couples trying to figure out their wedding during these times don't make the same mistake we did.

From the very moment I contacted them I knew with the prompt response I would be pleased and they did not disappoint.

Where to begin? First, thanks to Yelp for allowing me to narrow my decision down! Yelpers have…read moreyet to let me down and THIS is why I automatically use Yelp all the time! To start, I reached out to Chef Bernard based on the Yelp reviews to see if he could prepare a romantic dinner for my husband and I on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2015. He was available and agreed to serve us. From the start, he was very professional and communicated well. He sent me sample menus with options galore. If there was something on the menu that I wanted mixed up a little, he had no objections. My husband is a very 'simple' eater so I wanted to know if the Chef could also prepare something 'simple' like Potato Au Gratin. Whew....he did and it was sooooooo good! He arrived at our home in what I call his mobile kitchen (because he had everything in it that one could imagine), introduced himself to us and got down to business. We had a few small plate items, entree and dessert. He talked to us while he prepared the meals and it simply felt like he was a friend. It did not feel weird or awkward having him in our kitchen at all. It was great! He gave us tips on cooking at he prepared meals and spoke to us more about who he was (in and out of the kitchen). Some of the items we enjoyed were: 1. Pork chimichangas 2. Cajun eggrolls 3. Peking duck rolls 4. Filet (cooked to order) 5. Potato au gratin 6. Broccoli w/cheese 7. Cheese blintzes wi/ a strawberry wine sauce 8. Crab cakes Everything was perfect! He served us well and we could not have asked for a better experience. We are looking forward to more dinner parties with him in our home. If you are looking for a chef to help you make a memorable event, Chef Bernard is your answer. He also prepares weekly meals for you or your family. My husband really enjoyed the food and he is still raving about it. We tried items we typically would never try in a restaurant. We loved it and we are true fans!

The food is farm to table and always arrive in neatly packaged containers every Sunday evening so we have dinners stocked to enjoy the following week. I have had meal services with others before and this is by far the most skilled cooking of farm to table meals. I think it's a good value. One recent review I read was really not fair about "scam". That's just not true but I understand the frustration that led to a misunderstanding. I know the owner/chef was busy and working to try improve their marketing, ordering app, and communications. It's a small business so you just have to contact her directly if there is an issue and she will take care of it. I did that every time and I was patient because I want this good cooking to last to feed my family. Seems like great people. I've spoken to her and met the staff who deliver food to my house. We look forward to ordering each week!

He even tasked someone to keep an eye on me and the groom, to make sure we were always well taken care of with a glass of wine, water, and snacks! (special shout out to the shrimp and grits appetizer) People were raving about the food afterwards, some even saying it was the best wedding dinner they've ever tasted. The food all came out on schedule and deliciously prepared. Overall, the day was so perfect, and Kevin's Catering was responsible for so much of that! I highly recommend working with him :)
