    Cake catered by Main Event

    Everything from the drinks to the hors d'oeuvres to the cake to the main entrees was delicious and beautifully presented! But what makes Main Event Caterers the standout option is the people they employ. Our Event Designer Melissa was more than a pleasure to work with. Our interactions were the highlight of my wedding planning process. She was both incredibly helpful and offered experienced insights while also being an overall brilliantly fun human to work with! And Melissa's generosity was true of every single person we encountered throughout the tastings and especially on the big day. The entire staff really care about making you feel like a guest at your own wedding. Everything was seamless and should we ever plan another event in the DMV requiring catering, we won't hesitate to reach out to Main Event again!

    We had MEC for our wedding in Arlington and they had superb service. The food was great and everything from the sales (Elyse/Max) to planning (Melissa) to execution (Diana) went very well. Our wedding coordinator even said MEC are one of the better catering companies she has worked with, and their experience & professionalism showed. To be clear, there are probably cheaper catering options out there but I think MEC's value was worth the price tag. Thanks again for a great event!

    I recently used Farm to Feast to cater my daughter's Sweet 16. From start to finish, everyone at…read moreFarm to Feast was wonderful. Everything was handled through their online request for a quote and email. Responses were usually received within 24 hours. I never felt like I needed to pick up the phone and reassure myself that they were taking care of my request. The online quote form is very detailed and when I stated that the theme for my daughter's party was Lord of the Rings, they ran with it. The creativity shown in the menu was amazing. It made my daughter extremely happy from the start. Hannah definitely worked to keep the menu within our budget, offering suggestions on where we could tighten things. The week of the event, they were back in touch to finalize details and on the day of the event, Chloe showed up with the food at the designated time and was very professional and polite but also very approachable. She did an excellent job setting up and explaining all the dishes. Finally, the food! Absolutely amazing! The hits were the leaf-wrapped elven lembdas bread and Balin's spiced beef (brisket). The brisket was so tender it melted in your mouth. While those two were the standouts, the rest of the food certainly held its own and disappeared quickly. I would definitely use Farm to Feast for any future catering needs.

    I used Farm to Feast for a funeral reception recently and was disappointed in the quality of food…read more The mini cheesesteaks were not recognizable as such, yes they were mini, had expected at least 4". The ham and biscuits were pasty with deli ham; ropa vieja empanadas were unimpressive and doughy, chicken skewers were bland- looked poached, mini crab cakes were not memorable. The staff was responsive, available and worked easily with my contact so I had guessed it would be fine. I was moved by the name and had expected freshness, goodness and quality. I wanted my husband's reception to be beautiful with delicious food but instead, I was embarrassed with what was served. Don't be fooled by the pictures on the site, buyer beware.

    If I could give 10 stars, I would…read more I'm circling back with the highest praise for B. Lin Catering, who catered my daughter's Sweet 16 birthday celebration--and absolutely stole the show. I honestly can't decide who loved the food more: the teenage girls with their surprisingly sophisticated palates... or my husband. The birthday girl felt like an absolute princess. She had the best sleepover, and the food was the clear highlight. Multiple girls independently said the same thing: "This is way better and much more flavorful than Chipotle." And listen--teenagers do not agree on anything, so that says a lot. The flavor is truly indescribable. The chipotle chicken was unbelievably tender, and the chimichurri skirt steak literally melted in your mouth--the kind of good where people pause mid-bite just to look at each other. Every single item was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly prepared with care and pride. It should honestly be a crime to make meat, chips, guac, and corn salsa taste that incredible. The service was just as impressive. The delivery driver was right on time (early, actually!), friendly, and professional, and even offered subtle but incredibly helpful tips on the best way to set everything up--those thoughtful touches matter when you're hosting a house full of teenagers. B. Lin Catering brought flavor, ease, and joy to a milestone moment for our family. I will absolutely be ordering again and recommending them to everyone I know in DC. Run--don't walk--to book them

I had to skip the burrito and fajita bars but the portions were massive and everything looked good.

The food is farm to table and always arrive in neatly packaged containers every Sunday evening so we have dinners stocked to enjoy the following week. I have had meal services with others before and this is by far the most skilled cooking of farm to table meals. I think it's a good value. One recent review I read was really not fair about "scam". That's just not true but I understand the frustration that led to a misunderstanding. I know the owner/chef was busy and working to try improve their marketing, ordering app, and communications. It's a small business so you just have to contact her directly if there is an issue and she will take care of it. I did that every time and I was patient because I want this good cooking to last to feed my family. Seems like great people. I've spoken to her and met the staff who deliver food to my house. We look forward to ordering each week!

I made a mistake of signing up for 4 weeks of meal delivery, and now I am out of hundreds of dollars. The first delivery was 2 days late and required multiple attempts to contact the merchant to get the ordered meals. Week 2 meals were delivered but be aware, if you happen to be in the shower when they show up with your delivery, they won't leave your meals on your secure porch and will just drive away with your order. Week 3- NO DELIVERY, NO CALL, NO EMAIL. Again, I had too contact the merchant to try to figure out where was my food. Days later got a response that they had an issue with their refrigerator and simply neglected to let me know!!! With over a thousand dollars already tied up with this merchant, I had to scramble to purchase food for my family elsewhere. Due to the "NO CALL NO SHOW" for the week 3 delivery, I politely asked the chef to immediately refund me for the remaining 2 weeks worth of food that wasn't delivered. I explained that because they failed to honor their contract, I had to make other arrangements for the meals. The merchant NEVER REFUNDED me for the remaining 2 WEEKS worth of food that they NEVER DELIVEREDA. I ended up having to contact my credit card company, and guess what? The merchant is lying to my credit card company, claiming they delivered all 4 weeks worth of meals! I am reaching out to the Office of the Attorney General and filing a fraud complaint next. Stay as far away from this thief as you can!

The cocktails were great, my favorite was 'Peace and co' and 'Spill the Tea', I don't like spirit forward too much but these were sweet and light. My favorite appetizers were the baked shrimp with Focaccia. ( Tip is to dip the bread into the sauce of the baked shrimp). Best entree's were the Bolognese and wagyu burger, even tho it was roughly $30, for a burger. The best part was dessert, we had gotten the tiramisu and it was so delicious! The almond top was a perfect combination and crunch. Overall, the place is dimly lit, perfect for a date night or something special.

We were so happy with the wide range of options offered for appetizers, salads, entrees, sides and desserts -- and they even offer specialty cocktails! For reference, we had a 70 person seated dinner with cocktail hour before and a dessert bar at the end. The food was delicious and unique, and the place settings were gorgeous. I wouldn't change a thing. If you are a couple getting married in the DC area and want fresh, seasonal, creative food that does not feel like your standard wedding menu and won't crush your budget, I would definitely recommend Little Heirloom.
