Throughout the planning process, Lionel was always quick in responding to questions and helpful in guiding me to a rental company for a beautiful dinner table set up of fine china, crystal glasses and sterling silverware. His menu options were perfect for my husband who can be a very picky eater. My husband and I are big foodies and have been to most of the top restaurants in Houston, Lionel's cooking was as good if not better than the best in town. Every course was absolutely delicious! The mussels were perfectly cooked, the caprese salad couldn't have been any better and everyone's filets were cooked spot on. He made a carrot purée that we have been talking about for days! On top of the amazing food, Lionel himself was as personable and friendly as he could be in addition to being extremely knowledgeable about the food he was serving. Each course came with an explanation of the ingredients and where they were from. I hope to have Lionel back in my home again soon and will be recommending him to everyone I know in the Houston area. I've only had one other private dining party and Lionel's food was wayyyy better than that. Thank you, Lionel!

3.5 stars, rounded down for cost to value ratio…read more I consulted with Keifs Catering initially off of Thumbtack. The staff were quite responsive, and I was trying to set up a special night with my partner for our anniversary. I had heard from a few friends setting up a dinner with a private chef could be a pretty special experience, albeit pricey. The Yelp reviews and Google reviews, alongside Keifs Catering's incredibly vegan and vegetarian friendly menu options, had me enthusiastic. Along the way, I asked for input on menu options, as well as asked about the number of options I was setting for the menu; my partner and I have small stomachs, and I was worried about too many leftovers. I was reassured that any leftovers could be eaten over the following few days. As my partner is the foodie, I was making these decisions myself and I trusted the staff I was consulting with. The coordination was seamless, as was the online payment system. The staff arrived on time (2 individuals). The table was set partially by staff (partially by me to ensure it was truly special ambiance) and looked quite nice. The staff were incredibly friendly throughout the night. I had assumed the items were all assembled from scratch, but was surprised that when I asked about the vegan taco appetizer ingredients, another staff member had to be contacted to find out their composition. From the taco appetizer (3.5/5), I was immediately certain I had ordered too much food. We warned the staff and asked they pack away food as we knew it was going to be too much. Unfortunately, the spare taco shells were presumably thrown away instead of preserved and the vegan taco crumble we had to eat on its own over the following few days. The garlic fries were delicious (5/5), and for some reason, in a similar manner, the leftover vegan chipotle was thrown away instead of preserved and packed for later consumption. The watermelon mint salad could have tasted more fresh and crisp, but was fairly good (3/5). The entrees were amazing, though unfortunately due to the immense amount of food ordered, was only partially enjoyable. The tofu satay skewers I could have eaten for days (and I did, 5/5), and the vibrant coconut green curry was quite tasty and worked well with the skewers (4/5). The gorgonzola mac and cheese could have been its own appetizer and was quite tasty (4.5/5) but again, I wish I had received better advice from the staff when I set the menu. I have a bit of a sweet tooth l, so was particularly excited about the desserts, though both of these (creme brulee was a little soft, and I'd have loved more crumble in the cobbler) left a little bit to be desired (3/5). This was a really special first experience with a service like this, and I am so glad we tried it out, though I wish I had received a little bit better guidance from staff throughout, and wished the items had all been packed for leftover eating as expected. The price point for all of this was fair, but for these issues that would generally be minor, I really would expect no issues whatsoever for the price point. I think this would be an amazing option for catering for a larger group!

I had a little trouble deciphering how the menu worked online, but after a quick phone call I was all set. After a simple booking process, the hardest thing for me was to let go and trust. I'd communicated my vision for a valentines themed dinner party and the need to cater for a seafood allergy. The team showed up right on time.

I loved the food and munched on it like a starving kitten. Pandemic hits and it severely limits my ability to go to places, but I still had the old flyer. I called the order in ahead and ordered a shrimp poboy for myself, a fish one for my husband and a chicken pasta for my mother. First things first, as its technically a catering company and due to restrictions with dine in service in Fort Bend County, I don't know if the inside will ever be meant for dining service. It seems it's meant mostly for pick up, but on the other hand restaurants are operating differently with the pandemic, so I can't say for sure. Now the food. Portions are huge. Our poboys were large enough that we split them to taste the other person's meal. I felt they were some of the best poboys, I've had. Probably the only better ones are the ones from New Orleans and that's high praise as it's New Orleans influenced dining. If you want to know, I think the fried fish poboy slightly edged out the shrimp poboy. I felt the taste of the shrimp at times got lost, whereas the fish poboy and all of the other components were balanced. However, it's such a slight difference in terms of taste, that you're not losing out if you're eating the shrimp poboy. But if you are eating with someone and they don't mind sharing, I do recommend swapping half your poboy. For my mother's meal, as a picky old lady, she was content, and that's rare. It was a lot of food, it came with vegetables and corn bread. She ate it and didn't complain. To me that's high praise. The only real "knock" as that while the bread pudding is good, I know you can get better bread pudding elsewhere. Also, as it seems to be a start up business, drink options are also limited. However, I think with time there will be more drink options/ As for the bread pudding, people are either going to agree with me or not. It's still good, but I don't think that's the highlight of this caterer/restaurant. The main dishes are what makes this place unique and I'd come here for those dishes or consider this place for events like weddings and bigger parties. The food is good enough to make everyone happy and if it's for a wedding or birthday party it's not like you'll need their dessert as wedding/birthday cakes tend to be ordered at bakeries. Definitely try it, and send me a note if you agree.

To be transparent, I have known the owner for many many years and is a dear friend of mine. My review is not to bolster or help a friend out, I decided to write this review after reflecting on my unique experience with them to highlight the professionalism and service quality Buttered Up Catering offers. I can imagine that many people approach friend clients with a more relaxed service level. This is NOT the case here.They are so kind, responsive, and helpful in the planning process. When they arrived with food, it was utmost professionalism. There was no cut corners, no playful friend conversation, no catching up. And that speaks volumes to the business approach and investment they put into this service. This is a truly dedicated business with good people working to make it happen. And needless to say, the food is amazing. I was barely able to snap pics before guests helped themselves! If you are looking for meals or catering just reach out, you will not regret it.
