He created a beautifully curated menu featuring a Belgian endive salad with apple, almonds, blue cheese, honey, and mint, a flavorful curried butternut squash soup with coconut milk, pepitas, and chives, a perfectly cooked rosemary and thyme roasted chicken with honey-dijon Brussels sprouts and sweet potato mash, and the most comforting baked apple crumble with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Every dish was absolutely delicious and plated with stunning presentation. Chef Charlie even provided printed menus for each of us, adding such a thoughtful touch. Beyond the food, he was warm, conversational, and engaging--clearly putting intention and heart into every detail. We would definitely use his services again and recommend him without hesitation. A perfect anniversary dinner!

Chef Ronnie came to our house with his assistant Lisa (I think - sorry!) and they were both just awesome. Ronnie is super down-to-earth and totally friendly. My friends and I were super obnoxious and loud and asking ridiculous questions and he seemed to have fun right along with us. Also, and maybe this should have come first, but his food was also absolutely amazing. He worked with my husband for almost two months coming up with a menu that I would love...and I did. Wow. The first course of a salad was amazing and it just got better from there to the pesto pasta, the shrimp dish, the steak and then two desserts! We were absolutely stuffed. He also left the kitchen cleaner than before he got there! I would highly recommend him. Definitely 5 stars!

To start, he created the most amazing charcuterie board with bacon-wrapped dates, fresh fruit, and a wonderful selection of meats and cheeses. We also enjoyed a delicious caprese salad with buttered toasted baguettes, followed by flavorful chicken masala served with rice, roasted veggies, and naan bread. For dessert, he made my favorite: yellow cake with chocolate frosting, made even more spectacular with fresh whipped cream and berries. Beyond the food, Daniel is so personable and fun--he created a warm, relaxed, and entertaining atmosphere throughout the evening. He even cleaned the kitchen afterwards, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I will never forget this experience, and I can't recommend Chef Daniel enough if you want to make your event truly special!

Our entire experience with LLK goes down as one of our favorites throughout the wedding planning…read moreprocess. Hospitality is not for the weak, and it is oftentimes a difficult endeavor, but LLK went above and beyond, from conception to execution. Given that they are the catering company for our wedding venue (Castle Green), we were initially apprehensive given wedding food's reputation, but thankfully our concerns were quickly put to rest once we started working with Kevin and Kari (the dynamic duo!) on developing our custom menu. They are so skilled and creative in working with an array of flavors and cultures. The entire team-Kevin, Kari, Brooke, and staff- was passionate about making our day special and committed to collaborating on a custom menu that we adored and felt good about sharing with our loved ones. We couldn't have asked for a kinder, more open-hearted group to work with. Our friends and family (some of them are notoriously picky eaters) were so impressed by the food--"wedding food" doesn't always have the best connotation, but the food served at our reception absolutely knocked it out of the park. Everything is customizable to your heart's content and they do an incredible job at guiding you through it all. Choosing linens, glassware, etc. was also a breeze. Commitment to getting it right and honoring our vision and my Chinese heritage. It was a small detail that was deeply meaningful and completely unexpected. From sourcing a specific brand of ingredient down to using Calrose rice as a nod to my husband's family roots in rice farming, LLK's menu was a fun nod to our respective family backgrounds. We had mentioned enjoying orange chicken but beyond incorporating a bit of Americanized Chinese food, I didn't anticipate that any other cultural food would work. LLK took it to the next step and proposed a tasty soy marinated/five spiced deviled egg with pork sung on top (a crowd pleaser and my favorite appetizer from cocktail hour; also a childhood staple for me growing up). The charcuterie table was phenomenal and all plating was elegant, fitting to the occasion. Our tasting with Kevin was an event all on its own! We had such a fun evening of genuine conversation and enjoying Following the tasting, LLK's team checked in with us regarding our tasting notes. We were impressed by how well Kevin and the team were able to recalibrate the final flavors accordingly to deliver exactly what our taste buds hoped for based on our initial tasting notes. Communication with them was always easy despite their busy schedules. We can't recommend them enough and hope to visit them at their restaurant pop ups!!

It took me a long time to decide if I wanted to leave a 1 star review because my policy is, if you…read moredon't have anything nice to say, don't say it and chance hurting someone's business, however after mulling this over for 8 weeks, I've decided that people should be aware. We had a premiere party at Castle Green in December where your only choice for catering by contract with the building is Little Lily's Kitchen. Kari and Booke were very nice, but their prices were insane for what we needed. In any case, we moved forward with an 8K invoice for a "finger-food" order for 250. When we found only 70 had RSVPd, we obviously had to honor our non-refundable contract for the 8K, which we did in good faith and ahead of schedule. But since we were at 1/3 capacity, I asked for an additional choice of finger food, which they did. The problem came in the fact that we paid for 6 servers and received 3. The food didn't begin circulating (by a very sweet wait staff) until 45 minutes after guests arrived and then it was very intermittent with many never receiving food. For 8K I expected non-stop food for our 70 guests, instead what I got (and didn't find out till later) was a lot of hungry people. On top of that, we had 16 guests report stomach issues the next morning - the commonality being goat cheese. When I addressed this to Brooke and Kari, I was not looking for a refund - after all, maybe it was a stomach virus that circulated within 24 hours, but I was dismayed by the fact that they didn't respond at all- zero, zip, nothing, not even a thank you for our business. It was the BIGGEST ripoff I've ever experienced with a caterer. For anyone having an event at Castle Green that doesn't involve a very large payout for the owners, buyer beware.

She made my…read morerecovery as painless as it could be, and I credit her nutritious food with helping me heal faster. Before the surgery, I sent her my doctor-provided list of foods I could and couldn't eat along with my personal preferences. She immediately created a rough template for 3 meals a day, plus snacks. Each morning, she brought my food for the day, and at night after I had finished it all, we would talk or text so that I could give her any feedback. She would adjust the next day's meals, and we did the same process each day for about 10 days. Her food was delicious, made with quality ingredients and packed well. But just as important, she was so easy to work with and, frankly, so accommodating to my smallest feedback. She was also always so quick to respond. Literally, I could text her, see the Read notification, then see her typing within seconds. This happened most of the time. I don't think I ever had to wait more than 10 minutes to get a response. Amazing! Truly, the only thing I looked forward to each day was her food - it was that good! When I was in pain and depressed, that little happiness each day made all the difference to me. There were some dark days during those 10 days of recovery, but I'll always remember her and her food with fondness.

Communication was clear via phone and email and in the course of a couple of hours, she had given me customized menu options within my budget as well as vegan restrictions -- all while i multitasked at work! On the day of the event, her staff arrived promptly at the discussed time and had the food prepared and set up nicely. Everything was beyond expectations and i was complimented all night at how good the food was.

A criteria we had when searching for a caterer was having a family style option so that our guests had a chance to eat multiple items/dishes. We knew we didn't want each person to just get one plate of food with a single protein choice; we wanted a feast! After finding Taste of Pace through some online research, we scheduled a tasting, which completely blew us away! Pace had us come to a loft where she cooked all of the dishes as we sat, ate, drank, listened to lovely Italian dinner music, and chatted with Brooke to go over the menu options. We instantly booked with them after. They also helped with the open bars we had at the wedding, so the food, the alcohol, the staff were seamless and amazing. We keep getting comments on how delicious the cocktail hour appetizers and dinner platters were. For cocktail hour, we had a charcuterie station, hamachi crudo, risotto cakes, and hangar steak. For dinner, we had an heirloom lettuce salad, braised short ribs, salmon, fingerling potatoes, and seasonal veggies w/ burrata. I was definitely not one of those brides that don't get to eat a bite of their food at their wedding. Oh, I sat and ate my ENTIRE plate of food! My favorite thing about Taste of Pace is that they are a zero waste catering company and they use every part of their ingredients. It's so amazing!
