She responded to my questions quickly and was always willing to adjust our invoices or provide recommendations. They are also the most affordable company I've found in the DC area. On site, the catering team went above and beyond to ensure our events went seamlessly. I have never had guests compliment the staff and the menu as much as they did with St. Germain! As the event coordinator, I appreciated that Ceecho, Donal, and Johnny checked in with me throughout the event, quickly adjusted to the schedule changes, and were efficient and helpful throughout the set up and tear down process. I highly recommend Saint Germain for our next catered function in DC! We will be a repeat customer for sure!

She was outstanding. I really appreciated everything she did and also offering to help us after hours. I also appreciated the Event Coordinator's excpertise and help (Emily Delauter) in many areas, as I have never planned a big event before! She was extremely responsive and helpful. I would definitely use Twinleaf Caterers again should the occasion arise.

When we were deciding on a caterer for our daughter's wedding on Oct. 7, 2023, in Purcellville, all of us were excited about having Ford's cater the big event. We were so happy we did! The food was delicious; everything from the hors d'oeuvres (deviled eggs, mini crabcakes, lobster rolls, etc.) to the Ceaser salad, to the main courses (filet mignon and cod). Ford's also handled a full, premium bar, with excellent choices of wines and beers and hard alcohol. Ana and Tony are a pleasure to work with. We knew that everything would be executed perfectly. Our guests raved about the food! We continue to be big fans of Ford's restaurants and can't wait to go back. I recommend them highly as a caterer.

I wanted a few slabs of cow for Christmas dinner but I was procrastinating in ordering and shopping. A few days before my Christmas dinner I walked in and was greeted and served by an amazing staff member. She educated me on how to cook, what to buy and even gave me a small discount. The cuts of meat purchased are all Prime cuts. On Christmas Day, we enjoyed our "cow" slabs as they melted in our mouths and no knives were needed. The Prime Standing Rib Roast was outstanding. The NY Strip Roast was perfect for the one person who enjoyed it. Finally the Lamb Chops were devoured by a few people even though it was purchased for one person. This shop has survived times of COVID when people were not in store shopping. The community rallied together to keep this gem alive. They now offer Pizza special notes, kids crafting and taco Tuesday's. They offer pre packaged fresh meats, wine bottles, drinks and other ready to make products. Visit them, it's a fun shop and the staff is great.

Our salmon was the entree which had a beautiful glaze and a nice crisp on the edges. Our apple crisp dessert was a perfect ending to our delectable meal. Honestly, it was perfect and nothing I would change. She was also such a pleasure and cleaned up EVERYTHING! You can't go wrong with her!

About my preferences, after I said our budget, etc. it was so strange. It's fine to have a bubbly personality but this was off putting.

She didn't even send a quote after our phone call. So while we wouldn't have gone with Zesty Gourmet anyway, the business doesn't seem to care much for clients anyway. I'm not going to remind a company that I want to pay thousands of dollars to them. Honestly just an entirely confusing, strange, and off putting experience end-to-end.
