Food was delivered timely. We didn't need coffee, water, or paper products since the venue provided these. The only thing that was a bit off putting was that the sausage wasn't cooked all the way through. I suspect because they figured it would sit in chafing dishes longer and cook in them. We had enough left over to provide a nice breakfast option for the church the next morning for their community breakfast. Would use them again.

Just recently my friends wedding was catered by Creations Catering and Events in Sanford, and I…read moreattended the initial tasting, as I am a bridesmaid, have attended many weddings, and am a decent cook, and expect a lot for the money. We worked mostly with Monica, but met the chef as well. I could start chronologically, but let's just cut to the chase. From the tasting, the personal service, the variety of choices, and almost most importantly, the price, we got it all!!! Almost $20 pp cheaper than a wedding recently involved with at a fancy downtown Orl.Historical Bed and Breakfast, and CCE was soooo much more delicious! Monica came with several attendants/servers/set-up on time, had all of her linens, supplies, everything she needed. Her people were sweet, and we had a cash bar with a very nice bar tender, who also served free tea and lemonade. The food was perfect. Fancy salad with cheese, fruit, special greens, very flavorful and seasoned vegetables and loaded mashed potatoes, rolls, Tender Beef Burgundy, Chicken Piccata-I think-it was a few months ago-... We had desserts in addition to the wedding cake (read review for Patricia Ames "Cake Designers-Wedding Cake Creations" in Sanford , who was recommended by this caterer and is the best ANYWHERE). Busing of tables was discrete and prompt (former waitress talking here), cleanup was thorough, and there were no areas that we could have asked to be better.

The bartenders were great and service was all in all very smooth. However, i watched one of the managers, Fiona i believe is her name, talk so rudely to one of the bartenders.

I was honestly disgusted and advise this company to look into who is treating their own people with the respect that they deserve.

There was small bar set up in the rear of the dining areas and the staff server a beautiful selection of hors d'oeuvre prior to dinner service (Mushroom Pastries, Skewered Pork-belly and Roasted Brussels Sprouts) which were all delicious and plentiful. Dinner service was nothing less than elegant, the table was set up to accommodate everyone comfortably and decorated to fit the occasion. The dinner was served buffet style and everything was served at the correct temperature with a great presentation and included Roasted Tri-Tip, Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Breast, Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes, a fresh Spring Salad with Homemade Dressings, Rolls and of course a beautiful cake. I highly recommend this beautiful venue, they can accommodate small gatherings to I'm sure quite large ones, I love it's downtown with so much close by if you want to continue your celebration after the event. They also have a small open-air courtyard street side for those wanting to get some fresh air it seems they have all the bases covered here...

Storytime: a husband wanted to open a BBQ joint. His wife wanted to open a gourmet donut shop…read more So, they did what all great visionaries do: they combined the two and created Smoke & Donuts here in Orlando. Friends, this place is proof that compromise can be beautiful. Sweet meets spicy meets (meats?) savory. Every bite felt like someone dared a pitmaster and a pastry chef to create the ultimate brunch, and somehow they pulled it off. The only drawback? Ventilation. It's stuffy inside. Plan on smelling like a smoky glazed donut the rest of the day. PS. If anyone wants to bring this concept to KC, I'd like to be considered an early investor. Or at the very least, a highly enthusiastic taste tester. Holy hell. Brunch of champions.

The restaurant is cute and vibey. Reminds me of Austin, Tx a lot since there were many places like…read morethis one. It brought me back a great memory and the ambiance in general was nice. Parking wasn't an issue either. As I walked in, I was greeted by who seemed to be the owner and a young woman. Very nice, lovely staff. Everyone was so sweet. My only issue was that they didn't have a good portion of their menu ready and it's mostly because they didn't have the gravy for their dishes. The ones we wanted came with gravy and the staff let us know they were behind on making it. So we pivoted and tried their prime rib smash burger but unfortunately that felt a little disappointing. For the price that it was, you'd think that you'd get a decently portioned burger or some sides with it but it was super tiny. And the bun felt like grocery bread, the type you can get for a home bbq. It was still delicious but rather disappointing at the same time. We ended up having to order a third dish just to feel satisfied and at least it was very good. The bowls are worth it, maybe not the burger but the bowls for sure! I also snagged up a donut and truthfully that is one of the best donuts I've ever had. Another downside to this spot and why I didn't give it a 4 star is because how slow the service was. We watched a whole family get up and leave because it was taking so long, I actually felt bad for the staff and owner. The place has great tasting food, just needs a little shaping up. Maybe someone who can run the kitchen as a head chef. Overall, I still recommend the place but just know that you'll be waiting a while and some things may not be available.
