Price was not unreasonable, but was not a fan of $2 charge per "premium topping" like peppers. It appears this is turning from a strictly Italian Deli to something more than that under the new management. Not necessarily a bad thing, but there are so many signs and pictures of food in there, it was a bit overwhelming. I much prefer a smaller menu, but I am sure there are some that appreciate the variety. I'd certainly go back, but is it my favorite deli in the area? Not quite my favorite, but don't take that to mean it was bad.

We are all still talking about the lovely dinner they whipped up. My husband who does not like vegetables, LOVED THE VEGETABLES!! I don't really like meat, but I LOVED THE CHICKEN over beautiful fresh squash. We couldn't get enough and went home very full and satisfied.

Working with SKBT and Karen has been a joy from start to finish. From the moment we walked into our tasting to create our delicious menu, to last minute changes, to executing perfect food the day of, I want to relive this experience again and again. My guests raved about the menu, and some favorites included fun takes on cocktail meatballs, shrimp and grits, and chilled tomato soup shooters. The food was beautiful and displayed like it was in a magazine. Karen and her team were also in charge of staffing my event. This meant not only did they feed my guests, but bussed the tables, cleaned up trash, set up my pie display (Karen took it upon herself to clean out her stock of cake stands and create the most beautiful tables ever) and EVEN mop my bathroom trailer when it sprung a leak. As guests started to leave, SKBT cleaned every table and organized my decor. Best of all, Karen and her team were friendly and attentive the entire night. My bridal party had their own tray of appetizers waiting for them immediately following the ceremony, and all night the staff checked in on my husband and I (as well as my parents) to see how they could help. I eagerly look forward to having another event so I can hire this team again.

Inside was gorgeous as well. The set up was stunning and I loved the lounge while we waited to enter the main room. I'm not sure if they provided the decor but it was top tier. The food was delicious(even though I didn't take a lot of photos). The drinks were amazing. I wish I got the name of the bartender in the hall area, she was so spot on with every drink I ordered. The customer service was top tier. The servers were very kind and attentive to all our needs. The stressed to know about allergies and preferences, which was impressive. I've gone to conferences where allergies were treated carelessly and people got sick. So I really appreciated them constantly checking in. The tables were cleared immediately after you were done. The servers were very accommodating when asked for additional things as well. Looks of gorgeous areas to take photos. The area we were in was wheelchair and disabled accessible which was great.
