We hired Savage Chef to provide catering for a funeral luncheon, including setup, service, and…read morecleanup. Unfortunately, the experience did not come close to meeting expectations, especially given the nature of the event and the nearly $5,000 fee they quoted. To be fair, in the end, they knocked off several hundred dollars because of the disaster their inability to handle the job caused. The gesture was inadequate, considering our family did most of the actual work that day. The caterer arrived late, and only part of the staff showed up. The sandwiches had not been prepared in advance, the soup was not ready on time--nor was there enough, and twelve of the deceased's family members had to step in to help prepare food while more than 200 guests waited. Our family not only made the sandwiches, they also brought them out to the waiting guests. It made an already sad day become an embarrassing mess. The bakery bread we were promised was not used; instead, grocery store bread was served. Ty said the baker couldn't accommodate the volume of bread - we had this catering agreement in place for over 1 1/2 months. We were never told of this prior to the event. Beverages were also not stocked properly, and we had to repeatedly ask for refills. Some family members had to carry in cases of water from the caterer's car in the twenty-below weather. We chose Savage Chef based on positive reviews and the presentation of his food, but neither the service nor the execution nor the quality lived up to the advertising. Given the circumstances and cost, this was a very disappointing and upsetting experience. I cannot in good conscience recommend them to anyone.

They helped us plan the perfect menu of small bites, while taking in our feedback about our guests. Delivery, setup and takedown was perfectly on time and Nicole was a pleasure to talk with and work with! The food from Chowgirls is phenomenal! The whole agency was raving and asking where it was from - we even had a couple of people want to use them for their upcoming celebrations! Some highlights for me included: * The hot chocolate tarte was rich and delicious - and it truly was a hot chocolate flavor! * The apple manchego sandwiches were the perfect blend of fall flavors, and everyone was shocked it wasn't a dry sandwich with all the toppings! It was a crowd favorite. * the steak skewers were perfectly cooked and tender, even served cold! * The mezze platter was delicious and filling, with some unique flavors Overall, I would recommend Chowgirls to anyone and would definitely use them again!

Choosing Lisa's catering was one if the best decisions I made for my wedding! We started off…read moreworking with Jamie who was so kind and helpful through the entire process. She answered our Many many questions and really worked with us to help us find what we really wanted as far as meal choices and linen details went. All of our guests raved about the wild rice stuffed chicken. I would highly recommend it. The plated meals were served promptly which was impressive compared to previous weddings we have been to. In initially meetings with Jamie we discussed switching out the punch for lemonade. I didn't realize that it was not on the agreement which was no fault of hers just a tiny detail that got missed by us. We had a lemonade stand set up for the lemonade and everything. When we realized the mix up and brought it up to the caterers they wanted to help us out so badly. We were blown away when they ran out to purchase some. I would highly recommend Lisa's. They are wonderful!!! It is an easy choice to go with Lisa's. You will not regret it.

My husband and I split one of the woodfire pizzas and my parents landed on pasta. We were super pleased! The pizza was fantastic, especially the sauce! The only reason I couldn't land on five stars was service. Service, in our experience, is the one thing that sets restaurants apart in this area and it wasn't anything to write home about. Our waitress did the bare minimum and was not overly friendly. I was pleased to see the dining room mostly full for a Saturday evening, but would highly encourage a reset on service. We will absolutely give this establishment a second chance, though!
