I could not have asked for a better caterer! The food was truly superior--people kept coming up to…read moretell me how much they enjoyed it--and Alena's service was top notch. In minutes, she transformed a fairly hideous hotel room unto a dinner service dream. Her hors d'ouvres and the dinner were tasty and pretty, and she had a bit extra of everything. The floral arrangements she brought were lovely and fresh. She made several important suggestions that improved our event. She helped us set up a bar and a memorial table, and provided an excellent sound system, with background music and mics for us to tell stories. She was responsive, prompt and helpful. Her billing was clear and fair. She was the only caterer who responded to us (I was planning the event from another state, so it was tricky.) We plan to hire her again for my dad's 90th birthday party!

Had some time for lunch before I film my wedding today, and L Jays Diner has been at the top of my…read morelist since I saw they were coming to downtown Charles town. I'm a HUGE lover of soul food/fried . Overall, a really great experience, the food was great but the family feel and nice staff stood out to me. It's definitely one of those places you can visit and they will get to know you I got the 4 piece wing that came with two sides. The chicken was super light and airy, but had tons of flavor. I hate when fried chicken is bland, and this definitely was not. The chicken and breading both had a really great taste the greens were perfect. She uses turkey meat to enhance the flavor, and I couldn't stop eating them. the Mac and cheese almost took me out. I love love love baked Mac and cheese, and this one was perfect. Almost a sponge like texture but still creamy and cheesy! Def tops my list of Mac and cheeses I've had. finished it off with some cornbread. Dry cornbread is the worst, or when it's too flaky. This was the perfect medium between moist, but also held its shape. Everything is made from scratch, so depending on when you arrive it could take a little to get your food. I personally didn't mind since I got the taste the chicken right out of the fryer I'll def be coming back as they serve breakfast all day, and the chicken and waffles are calling my name if you're looking for soul food or a diner experience, def add this one to the top of your list.

Shepherd University has many dining options throughout the campus the issue is that the staff…read morethroughout isn't well trained, they seem very confused on how to use the meal plans and what needs to be used when purchasing. Shepherd Dining Services also only allows one to only use 2 meal swipes per meal period which is morning til 11AM then 11AM-4PM then dinner at 4PM-11PM. I have the most expensive meal plan the Deluxe 300 which gives me 300 meals per semester which is $6.50 a meal. The problem is that I can only use 2 per meal period which does not leave me much at all when I have class to juggle, meetings, exams scheduled, and tutoring etc.. on top of everything it does not leave much time to grab something to eat and if I already used 2 say at 11AM for a coffee and a salad. I cannot eat again until 4PM in the evening. I paid for 300 meals per semester I would like to use them when necessary and when I am hungry. I would be greatly appreciated if the staff knew how to use them and if you just let us use them when we want to as well. Thank you.

Roasted Chicken canapes in a wonton cup = YUM The pad thai…read morewas.... eh... dry. How can you make pad thai dry? And really, how realistic is an ice cream cone sitting out at a catered event? They were dripping all over the table. That being said, I went back multiple times for the roasted chicken canapes. They scored on one out of the three items. I'd be curious to see what else they have to offer though based on just that one.

Let us start with the positives: Offered and executed same…read moreday delivery. I am giving a 1 star because even though I knew there had to be a variation in flowers and arrangement the arrangement that was delivered was very disappointing. I didn't do 1800 florists because they usually end up like this and called directly from the businesses website! I looked at arrangements on their facebook and they looked rather nice. This looks like something I could get at the grocery store if even that good. I called the owner to express my concern. He got on the phone and actually said " what do you want me to do, I personally delivered it myself and it was fine!" If you compare the two pictures the one I got was definitely not a $75.00 arrangement! I should have just called rooster vane like I normally do i stead of using this business. I just wanted the owner to make it right, wasn't about getting my money back. I hope in the future this does not happen to anyone else. It is disappointing when you are sending it to someone to brighten their day and the person designing it could have cared less.

I was surprised, though, when there was an additional $15 charge placed on my credit card, which the florist and I did not discuss. I called and left a message with the shop, describing that I wished to speak to someone about this anomalous charge on my card. Jamie, the shop owner, got back to me within what seems to be minutes after hearing my message. He was understanding and apologetic, and offered me a complete refund on my order as a remedy. That kind of compassionate customer service is simply unavailable from other businesses. In the future, I will be purchasing my floral arrangements from Mountainside Florist.
