Wow! Two weeks later and I'm still thinking about this meal a couple of times a day, and co-workers have stopped me in the hall to talk about it, as well. I highly recommend this caterer.
I ordered a catered breakfast for 100 through a 3rd party. Unfortunately, the middleman was not passing along our messages to each other, so when the food arrived, we were missing an item that I felt was critical. In these situations, I'm accustomed to receiving a shrug, a sorry, and a small discount. Instead, I received a first-class resolution, with staff standing by and communicating the steps real-time. I was really blown away by the level of service, the professionalism, and the phenomenal attitudes of the staff while dealing with the unexpected hiccup (which was not their error). That alone would lead me to order from them again, but...
Holy smokes! The food was incredible, and such a nice change from what is typically available for a breakfast delivery (which is what prompted me to order from Emjaye Inspired to begin with). While we had ordered most items in disposable aluminum trays for a simple work breakfast ahead of an activity, they set it up for me (unexpected!) in such a way that it looked so much more inviting than it would have otherwise been. Additionally, fruit, bread, and pastry platters were presented BEAUTIFULLY. It was so much more than I was expecting. Lots of thumbs up and, "That was on point!" from those present.
Melissa contacted me to follow up on the difficulty encountered at delivery (again, a 3rd party snafu), but her staff had handled it so beautifully I didn't feel any further resolution was needed. It was very professional, courteous, and so appreciated.
Definitely use this caterer and DO order through them directly (as I've learned). These are actual, professional caterers, btw. Though our needs were simple, I can tell by the way they carried themselves, communicated (not just with me, but with each other), and worked that they expertly manage higher-end jobs. I will be giving unsolicited recommendations to everyone I know in need of catering.
* I'd like to give a special shout out to the breakfast sausage, the likes of which I have never before encountered! I would leave the life I know to hunker down in isolation as a hermit if I knew I would wake up to this sausage every morning (and based on feedback I think there are others that would do the same!). Turkish eggs were incredible (note that some people really just want scrambled eggs), crepes were amazing, and someone on that team really knows how to pick a good melon. read more
