We worked with Avalon for our wedding ceremony (70 guests) in December of 2012, and we couldn't…read morehave been happier. They were one of the less expensive caterers in our search, but you certainly couldn't tell from the experience we had! Cathy was pleasant, flexible and patient as we went through the process of figuring out what we wanted, and we appreciated that she tried to incorporate local and seasonal ingredients into her menus. Both the passed hors d'oeuvres and the buffet service went smoothly, and our guests raved that it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had. Some of the favorites were the beef short ribs, the "shrimp and grits" hors d'oeuvres, and the rice middlins risotto, which was so creamy that bets were being placed on whether or not the grits had made another appearance. We did provide our own desserts and alcohol, which helped with the bill considerably, but everything else was provided. The service was excellent, the timing was perfect, and they had no problem working with our venue, which was on the slightly unusual side (Paris on Ponce). We highly suggest going with Avalon for your next event!

I recently had the displeasure of dealing with Kendra and, I must say it was one of the worst…read moreexperiences I've ever had. The level of professionalism left much to be desired. From the moment I reached out for assistance, it was clear that they had no regard for customer service. Two days after signing a contract and paying a deposit she, was very difficult in trying to make an edit. I probably heard "no refunds", and I never asked for a refund. I was just thinking I could downscale the party but she insisted because she cared more about the money. I never asked for a refund but, instead of a party for 25 people, I was thinking it could be a party of 12 but, the lack of flexibility was lacking. She also did not believe my sister should change her wedding and did not mind adding her judgment which was just unprofessional. The entire process was a complete waste of my time. Her energy was something I did not want in my home so I had to let her keep my $700 deposit and just hire someone else but, I want to warn others. I wanted to give someone a chance and, I got screwed. To make matters worse, everytime I would text she needed to call and then would not listen to suggestions that I wanted I originally wanted a plated meal and, she talked about how she would have to get staff and, that was no problem however I stated she would not need to get staff since I wanted to change to a buffet and she said she was going to get the staff anyway the fact is that she insisted in me paying the original amount and now she got money and did very little and would not try to accommodate me is just so unacceptable and a bad experience when it did not need to be. Overall, my experience with this company was a lesson. Her lack of professionalism, inflexibility, time-wasting tactics, and failure to listen to customers make them a business I would strongly discourage anyone from dealing with. There are plenty of other companies out there that value their customers and provide far superior service.

First the positives: the guests for our party were sent a survey, and they gave rave reviews for…read moreDeSilva's food. There was a lot of love for the burger sliders, chicken tenders, and shrimp. The servers were so helpful, friendly, and joyful during and before event. There were even three chefs, one of them a head chef, actually in attendance making food at the party. After the party, I found out that DeSilva even made a lot of custom orders for the party guests. Positive critique from the party attendees was that some of the food was cut too large to eat in one bite and they were not served with silverware such as the salmon shooters. The negatives: the owner missed her appointment to view our space, then showed up late to the reschedule appointment, and showed up at the start of the party. The owner's response was that she was bringing the hot food and wanted to show up as close to the party start as possible to keep the hot food hot. Showing up at the start of the party did not give us time to inform her of a few changes we made. We had purchased additional food to serve as sides to their passed hors d' oeuvres because there was lot of concern from our HQ the closer we got to the party about alcohol consumption, and concern from our employees about being full. We were going to put this out ourselves but the chefs from the caterer insisted that they would put the food out for us. I don't want to really go into it, but they put our food out so late and in such a small quantity that I feel like it was a power move by the chef to make sure their food received a spotlight. We should have served our sides ourselves as planned because our people love that type of stuff. There was a lot of waste. Part of our event package was pre-packaged to-go boxes for our guests which were to include cupcakes and macaroons. We received 150 cupcakes which received mixed reviews, some extremely good and some not, but no macaroons. We do appreciate the owner attempting to make it right by bringing fresh macaroons for our holiday lunch (arrived after the lunch) but we only received 47 boxes with two macaroons in each. Our headcount for the party was 150 people, the owner's response when asked if there were 150 macaroons was "I didn't know how many people you have". Also, one box of 2 was missing, and one box only had 1 macaroon in it. I don't think the desserts were worth $3k. The most aggravating issue was that we were charged $500 for cleanup and breakdown and the catering company did not clean up. They brought a grease fryer to cook the food and did not clean up the greasy floors that were caused by using the appliance, 10 over-full trash bags were left leaking all over the floor, the food that was dropped during preparation wasn't attempted to be picked up. They somehow used up all of our cleaning supplies without actually cleaning. The owner's response was that she was told (by someone who was not their point of contact) not to worry about cleaning and that we have a cleaning crew that would come clean the following day. They had been using this person as a point of contact instead of calling me because they "saw I was having a good time". I did not get to join the party until after 8pm, even then I was available to all of our vendors the entire time. She also said that she didn't know if there was a mop. Any of us could have provided this. The catering team was gone within an hour of the party ending. Leaving without telling me even though they did see me to ask me if I liked their cupcake. My team had to come in and clean the filthy nightmare that they left the next day. So in the end, would I recommend DeSilva's Kitchen? Yes, but with caution. The food and service was great, and your guests will enjoy them. However, you may be incredibly frustrated behind-the-scenes.
