What was really so wonderful though is how thoughtful they were - they saved the top of cake for my fiance and me, and they sent us home with doggie bags. They worked with me for months to make sure all of my needs were met and they accommodated all of my changes. Really top notch!

When we began our search for a caterer, we found Shooby Doo Catering, tried one meal with them, and decided we didn't need to look anywhere else. Their food is a delicate fusion of Asian and American cuisine and they manage to blend beautiful flavors together without making their food overly salty or overwhelming. While all the food was amazing, I have to point out a few items that we ordered. They have a large menu but they were willing to customize the menu for us. Ahi Poke Taco | Shoyu sesame marinated sushi grade ahi tuna, Asian spicy slaw, crispy wonton shell, sriracha lime kewpie mayo, micro cilantro. This appetizer was AMAZING. I had it at their partner restaurant, Bar Dojo, and knew it would be a hit. Several guests consumed 3-4 of these before the meal came out. Seared Scallops | jumbo U-10 scallops, caramelized, served with a lemon burre blanc* These scallops were huge and perfectly seasoned. They were handled with class and the chefs made sure that none of them were overcooked and rubbery. Absolute perfection. Braised Pork Belly (GF, DF) | all-natural pork belly in honey lemon hoisin glaze, served with fresh scallions and pickled cucumber When we picked this dish, we didn't know what to expect. Surprisingly about a third of our guests chose this dish over braised beef and scallops and my brother, who tried all the plates, chose this as his favorite. The pork belly was as smooth as butter and well balanced with the scallions and pickled cucumber. You cannot go wrong with if you go with them. Ariana, who I communicated with, went above and beyond and made sure everything went smoothly leading up to the event. You will not be disappointed!

We had our annual event on October 8th at the Edmonds Waterfront Center with Shooby Doo catering as…read morethe food vendor. The Waterfront Center has them as an exclusive contract so we had no choice but to use this caterer. We signed up with them back in 2020 believing that we would have an in-person event in 2021 but the Delta virus made us have to do a virtual event. Shooby-doo refused to refund our significant down-payment, so we were stuck with them for a future opportunity. Which we utilized them, as I said, on October 8th 2022. The tasting that we did those years ago was absolutely wonderful. The food was quite delicious. And that team worked with us to make sure that we would have a really good selection of food items to meet all pallets, allergies, and so forth. Thus, the food is quite expensive. The major issue that we had with this company is that we are a non-profit organization and have to abide by state guidelines in regard to serving alcohol. It was almost impossible to work with Scooby-Doo on this issue because they had really bad information that they kept telling us was accurate. It was not good. It took weeks on end to finally get them to deal with the state directly and understand that we were correct and we would not do anything that would potentially jeopardize our nonprofit status. In the end it was resolved well but the frustration that we were put through is still something that has a scab on the wound. One expects for someone who is providing a service that particularly has to meet state guidelines would know what they are doing and what they are talking about. And not asking us to work in a gray area. And that's what we were told over and over again. "Just work in the gray area", but like I said it was finally resolved. One other minor thing that was aggravating but we dealt with quickly was them wanting us to get more alcohol than we needed. We got what we knew we needed and still had a few bottles left over. And the only other minor aggravation was they didn't know their full contract the evening of when everything was said and done. They thought we were supposed to be out of the building at 10:00 p.m. but we were actually scheduled to be out by midnight. Again it got resolved but it was something else to add to a more stressful moment in time. Now on to the good stuff: The night of the event was extraordinary. Their employees had everything set up in advance as it was supposed to be and the venue looked amazing. They were so friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. They literally catered to our every need asking questions along the way to make sure that we were satisfied before our guests even arrived. The staff members were amazing. The food was out of the ballpark extraordinary. People absolutely loved the food. We had a double-sided buffet in order to make things would go smooth and quickly. I'm glad we opted for that rather than having them serve the dishes. It worked well. I'm absolutely sure that we would never use Shooby Doo again for our agency events, because of the massive issues we had with them in the beginning. However, I do think they would be good for things that are not related to being a non-profit: Like weddings, birthdays, small corporation celebrations, and such. If you're considering Shooby Doo to cater your nonprofit organization, be careful, be warned, and make sure you check everything, especially the legality around alcohol service. Also, know and monitor the contract so that you know exactly what's in it. While the service was excellent the night of, and the food was extraordinary, the price tag on this event was far more than we anticipated. We recognize that food costs are up and inflation is a nightmare but this is a very expensive catering service. Scooby-Doo gets a five star on the food quality and the evening of service. They get a one star on the knowledge on working with nonprofits, or at least with our non-profit. They get a negative 5 for not allowing us to get our down-payment back when the Delta virus came and shut everything down for everyone. I feel they should have offered it back with perhaps a small penalty but they did not so we were forced to have to use them a couple years later. I thought that was absolutely ridiculous. I told them that I would give an honest review. And this review is that.

I will never again plan a wedding or big event without the right caterer. For me, Shannon from Fig…read moreTree Catering is the right caterer. I own a salon in Ballard, so I have the opportunity to work in different capacities with many weddings and special events. After a frustrating experience with a non-catered wedding, I decided to try Shannon (a word-of-mouth recommendation) for a 150-person wedding at the end of August. Her business is new this year, but her experience and skill have been well-earned at VERY prominent local restaurants. Faced with a picky bride who wanted organic, local, sustainably-harvested fare, and a very diverse crowd, Shannon kept her cool and guided our experience from beginning to end. She researched and constructed our flavor profile, we tasted and debated, and laughed, and ate well for months leading up to the event. There were so many unknowns and last minute wedding issues, but nobody ever questioned how the food would turn out. It was perfect, just like we expected, bountiful and fresh and appealing. Our guests were thrilled. Think catering is just about the food, though? I was under that impression for a while,but I realize a caterer is the one person at your wedding who has totally done this before. Seen it, done it, knows what to expect. Shannon helped us choose our linens and decide what types of dishes and glasses we needed to get. She handled our bartending; we bought our own liquor and wine, but she had licensed, experienced professionals set up and serve it. Several times, I was close to losing my cool about the to-do lists I made for myself. Shannon would just tell me - "Hey, that's not worth worrying about. I know how to handle it. I've got it." And she did. And a bonus was she employs hard-working local actors and dancers as staff, which sort of made me a patron of the arts, too. Her staff is always poised, professional, and fabulous! I was blown away, and I also realized, with all the money I spend on ingredients and tools for the few times I try and have a dinner party at my house, I could just have Shannon do it. She does things so efficiently, it's actually a better value and much less stressful to have her cook for 10 people than for me to run around stressing out, not spending time with my guests, and ending up with a dirty kitchen. Plus she cooked for one of my favorite restaurants for years and comes up with recipes I don't know how to pull off. So Shannon is now on my list of must-have's for bbq's, for the holidays, for birthdays, for Wednesdays..... I'm so lucky I found her!
