The food arrived before time. It was hot, smelled great and the delivery person was polite and did a great job at setting up. The food was exceptional, some of the best macaroni and cheese I've had since I've moved to the DMV area. Everything was seasoned just right. All my guest were asking who did the food, typical I would have some food left over, however this time the pans were bone try. I didn't only have a successful event; I've found my cater for future functions. Thanks for your help, I'm looking forward to doing business in the near future.

**Review for Well Dunn Catering**…read more Well Dunn Catering delivered an absolutely extraordinary experience for the 125 Years of Forestry reception. They transformed what is normally a standard office space into a dreamy, elegant setting that felt straight out of a premier ballroom. Every detail--from the décor to the lighting--radiated sophistication and creativity. The staff was exceptionally professional, friendly, and attentive at every turn. Their seamless coordination made the evening feel effortless. The chef's menu was nothing short of Michelin star-worthy--each bite offered a delicious blend of seafood and savory meats that left guests raving. The tea-smoked duck, in particular, was a standout favorite and gave the event an almost otherworldly touch. A special thank you goes to Sara H., the event planner of the century. Her attention to detail, genuine warmth, and thoughtful touches elevated the entire experience. She has a rare talent for making every interaction feel personal and every event feel magical. Thank you, Well Dunn, for doing exactly what your name promises--an event that was *well done* in every possible way!

The guests kept commenting on how amazing and imaginative the food was from the cocktail hour, to the main course, to dessert, and to the boxes of little pizzas to take away after the party. One guest mentioned that she felt that there were layers of surprises in the presentations, for example we had a gelato affragato cart for dessert along with the cake! Ramona was a dream to work with as well as her whole team. She was very easy to work with during the menu tasting and made excellent suggestions as to what would make the party feel special and reflective of our request to have amazing food. The service was very professional but really friendly. I highly, highly recommend Well Done Catering for any event!

Everything was delicious, beautifully prepared, and the entire experience was professional and seamless. I have never been much of a fish eater--I love shellfish, but what I jokingly call "swimmy fish" has never been my thing. Well, the cod they served completely changed my mind! It was absolutely delicious and one of my favorite things on the menu. Our officers and guests raved about the food throughout the evening. In fact, the officers enjoyed it so much that they were already asking if we could order our Thanksgiving meal from the same caterer! When you're organizing a large event, having a caterer you can rely on makes an enormous difference. The food was wonderful, the service was excellent, and they helped make our awards dinner a special evening. Highly recommend!

I just retired from banking after 49 years and am very proud of my customer service history. This by far was the WORST customer service experience I have ever encountered in my life.

Destroying cakes and emotional seclusion…read more I had the honor of meeting DC's up-and-coming pastry genius "Shameless Chef" at a wedding that was being catered by her 'cake bites.' Not ever hearing of the delectable devils that I could not stop ogling, I approached the smiling women to get the dibs on the dips. What I encountered was not only a bold taste but a bold business model that can be tasted in each bite. She bakes a cakes, destroy them, and in the process reinvents not only the food but the person making it. Ending up in the DMV post master's degree in Social Work, this baker feels the process of making these balls with love is a form of therapy for those struggling with personal demons and unhealthy dependencies. Listening to her story in awe, she shared her goal of hiring those who not only need a job but who need to be healed. Genius! So yes, there is a cliche that emotions can be tasted in food, but I think this Shameless Chef has proven it fact. I tried: Chocolate^3: the cure to the chocoholic. Pumpkin: pure fall desire. Red Velvet: sinfully good in a sinless size. Carrot Pecan: a smooth and sweet adaptation of a forgotten fibber treat AND the best carrot cake I've ever had. Though what stole the show as well as the actual wedding cake at the wedding was her simple "Vanilla" cake ball. My 2015 favorite dessert of the district. Yes Pixar fans, this is that moment in "Ratatouille" (2007) when Anton Ego food critic tastes one bite of Ratatouille and is transported back in time and left motionless. How can destruction taste so good? I have no idea. Though this perfect bite of pure sweet vanilla is what I have been thinking about even while eating a professional pasty chef's wedding cake.

From the appetizers at the cocktail hour, to the dinner plates themselves, I was extremely impressed by how delicious the food was. From the care they put in before the wedding, to the wedding itself, I could not have been happier with the Eat & Smile team and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great caterer.

Everything was super fresh, locally sourced, and perfectly prepared. All of the staff members were also incredibly kind and professional, from the setup to the dinner service to the cleanup. I would absolutely recommend Eat & Smile to anyone.

They took care of renting the tables and chairs and setting them up in a way that realized this vision. They seemed to share in our excitement and to be genuinely looking forward to executing it as much as we were! The food itself was outstanding. They offered an innovative menu but also responded to our special requests with no problem. As others have pointed out, the service was attentive without being intrusive, and the clean up job was amazing - just like they had never been there. We had great feedback from our guests and overall were very happy. We had never had a catered event before, but now I am wondering what the next one will be. :)

If you are looking for a chef who is passionate about his work and loves providing unforgettable food experiences I would recommend "Eron's Epicure".
