She expressed empathy and said she wanted to do this. Throughout the encounter, she continued to show respect for what the event was about. I always felt she was doing something extra for us which made it all seem special. The food was perfect. The presentation was perfect. All the staff was perfect. Thank you, Stephanie for that extra little something. That extra caring gesture. I would use Ginkgo Catering for any event.

We got married on the coast of Oregon and Lisea and Stephanie drove THREE HOURS to us to cook us two incredible private chef meals (lunch and dinner). We couldn't have been happier - the food was exquisite. From the initial consultation to the event day, everything was seamless. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and tailored perfectly to our preferences. Lisa and Stephanie were kind, easy-going, professional, attentive, and ensured we were well taken care of. I HIGHLY recommend Ginkgo Catering for any special event! Two unforgettable meals.

She was friendly, patient, obliging, and did more than 100% required. She is an asset to Sheild Catering. The crew who served at the event were also friendly, respectful, accommodating and adaptable, making things comfortable without interference, and provided all that was asked. The food, which was important in itself, was tasty and plentiful. Many of the guests complimented our choice and asked the name of the caterer, plus came up for a seconds. Our event was a success thanks to Sheild Catering. We highly recommend them to anyone searching for an excellent caterer.

I hired Brittany to cater a small wedding reception dinner for 6 people (my new husband, my mother,…read moremyself, and 3 friends) at a friend's home in Garden Home. From beginning to end, she was a pleasure to work with: her website was beautiful and clear, which gave an accurate idea of available food options, and then, in every correspondence, Brittany was quick to respond with availability, pricing, and other details. While we were at the courthouse, Brittany showed up with plenty of time to spare and started preparing things. By the time we returned home, there were salted marcona almonds waiting for us as a simple appetizer as her delicious filo tartlets finished up. The tartlets were tremendously satisfying: enjoyed as a finger food, served cupped in a wonderfully light and crisp filo exterior with a delicate and savory creamy interior, beautifully gilded with edible flowers. Brittany then plated and served us the remaining three courses at the dining table. First was a beautiful mixed greens salad with fresh ripe berries and a wonderfully creamy and mild goat cheese (which pleased even my mom, who's picky about non-cow cheese and dressings other than ranch). That was followed by tender and juicy lamb chops (ringed with a delicious mint and marcona almond pesto). We ended with a satisfying and light cheesecake tart shingled with ripe stone fruit. Brittany kept an attentive eye on us, helping keep our glasses full and ensuring good pacing between courses. She left the kitchen clean and organized and was a calm and friendly presence throughout the meal. I'm so glad I thought to look around for a home chef as an alternative to dining out after my wedding--it made for a much more memorable, intimate, and stress-free experience than going out. If you're looking for an intimate or classy in-home or catered food experience, I can't imagine a better choice than Brittany.

I recently attended a wedding catered by Abbott Catering, and the experience was extremely…read moredisappointing. The level of professionalism, service, and attention to detail was far below expectations. The dinner service was delayed by 1.5 hours, and when it finally arrived, the plating and presentation were amateurish. The food was cold, and several tables were not served at all. The menu items were inaccurately described; the braised short rib was actually a pot roast, and the miso, blackberry glazed cod was overcooked whitefish without the promised glaze. Additionally, the salad service was inadequate, with only one medium bowl for a table of 16. When I addressed these issues with the caterer, he was not present to resolve the problems and instead blamed external factors. The dessert service, which was supposed to include two frosted cheesecakes cut on site, lacked any frosting. The coffee service was minimal, with only two carafes and no creamer or sugar available. Furthermore, the appetizers, which were meant to be hand-passed, were simply placed on a table without napkins or plates. I strongly advise against using Abbott Catering for any event. They failed to deliver on half of the contract's promises, and the most disappointing aspect was the lack of service, quality, and accountability for the subpar product.

Even 1 star is generous. I recently attended a wedding that Andy "catered" - in quotes as he did…read morethe bare minimum to provide a lackluster & subpar service: A) Did not plan for remotely enough food to feed the wedding guests. The head table did not receive food. What food was served was served cold & not in alignment with what was listed on the menu. When asked later what happened, he admitted he used Al to prep for the wedding & ultimately failed to accommodate for the party size. B) Was absent from the wedding venue for a majority of the evening. Every time someone sought him out, he was apparently offsite to retrieve necessary items and would return empty-handed. C) Did not come appropriately staffed & required other vendors to step in & assist with service. Without their assistance, dinner service would not have occurred. Ultimately, I would not recommend Abbott Catering for a wedding or large-scale event.
