To date , June 10 I have not heard back either with a phone call or email. This is the absolutely the worst experience I have ever had with any catering business. How awful and unprofessional!!!!

Wedding attendees are still raving about the food. The most frequent comments are that "it was absolutely the best wedding food" they have ever had, as well as, "it came hot". The service staff was polite and efficient. The day got away from us, so they adjusted to meet our needs. I never remember what I ate at most weddings. These guests will remember for years. Also, we had several guests with severe allergies and some with gluten issues. All of our needs were met and never questioned. Their menu is designed for GF/DF. But we also needed several plated dinners due to our more extremely allergic guests. We felt that our concerns were heard and taken seriously. Thank you!!! We also used the bar tending staff. They were excellent as well. We had three signature drinks and beer, wine and champagne. There was minimal waiting for drinks, even during the cocktail hour. I highly recommend this company for any event.

Communication was easy, with quick responses and flexibility in accommodating our special requests. They made everything feel effortless on our end, handling every detail with minimal direction and total professionalism. The dinner service was fantastic, and they went above and beyond to ensure everything went exactly as we hoped, following our timeline perfectly. A big thank you to the Upstairs Downstairs team for helping to make our day extra special. We look forward to recommending them to future couples getting married in the Madison area.

C&J's has been open in this location for a little over a month, but they've been catering for…read moresometime now. We finally got around to checking them out, and bottom line is they're legit good. Not only do they offer stand 'cue, but also fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and other southern comfort food specialties. Their hours may vary, and they may be closed some nights for catered events. Check their Facebook page for updates, which are frequent. https://www.facebook.com/cjbbqcatering Chatted with the pitmaster, and his origin was from New Orleans, and up the Mississippi through Chicago, if that gives you a sense for his style. I had the pulled pork, which was perfectly done, and the wife had the chicken, which was also excellent, and also totally moist. The smoked mac was a pleasant surprise. They're located in The Market, which unfortunately has gone to seed somewhat, but all the best BBQ joints are hole-in-the-wall family joints anyway, so don't let that fool you. I really hope this place succeeds, they deserve our support. I'll be returning.

I recently used Twisted Radish Catering for my wedding reception at the Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin…read moreVisitor Center in Spring Green WI and they were absolutely fantastic! COMMUNICATION: I live out of state and thought it might be difficult to work remotely with a caterer, but Nicki made the whole experience easy and fun. I really felt like she took the time to make sure I was happy with everything and was always available to chat on the phone or quick to respond to my emails. GRAZING BOARDS + APPETIZERS: I was drawn to Twisted Radish by the photos on their website of their elaborate grazing boards (because appetizers are always one of my favorite parts of a wedding..), and it was so fun creating a delicious spread with Nicki's help. The end result was even better than I expected, she went out of her way to make sure everything was displayed beautifully and it all tasted amazing. DINNER: We did a plated dinner with three different main course options - Wedding Day Salmon, Herbed Tri Tip and Apple Cider Chicken. Each plate came with heirloom carrots with rosemary and orange, garlic broccoli with chili flakes, roasted fingerling potatoes, poached pear salad and sourdough dinner rolls. She even surprised us with butter boards for the rolls! Every dish tasted amazing, even better than I imagined. COFFEE AND DESSERT: Nicki set up a incredible coffee station complete with almond and oat milks in vintage carafes. I have a lot of coffee snobs in the family, and they all approved of the coffee. She also make us two homemade ice cream flavors (vanilla bean and blackberry) that were fantastic. STAFF: Everyone from Twisted Radish was so kind and extremely professional. You can tell they love what they do. I would 100% recommend Twisted Radish for any future events needing delicious and beautiful food. I feel extremely lucky they were available because I feel like we got the very best of the best!
