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!

I cannot express how much I love and recommend Saint Germain Catering. I was in a bind because my…read morecaterer fell through at the last minute. Saint Germain came through like a superhero! Their menu is expansive and can accommodate all types of dietary restrictions--we had dairy free, vegan, pollotarian, and gluten free folks, and they all enjoyed the food. Set up and tear down were efficient, and the staff was so friendly, polite, and professional! And the food! I over ordered, so the whole library staff got to eat, too. Everyone raved about the buffets (we did a "cookout" style, a "fajita bar" style, and we had breakfast for three days). Everything was cooked well and seasoned well! The fresh fruit was delicious! Can I recommend them any more than I have? If I'm ever in the DC/DMV area again for an event, I will definitely give them a call.

I highly recommend Fresh Connections. Jim Lyons

Leticia and Seby were excellent and very attentive to everything. Leticia was especially helpful and even stayed a bit later offering to help us take down tables and other things, which wasn't necessary because we had a crew of our own people there ready to do it.. 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.

We used Silver Spoon to cater breakfast and dinner for our graduation party and informed them…read moremultiple times about the nut allergies in our house. Despite being reassured they would take them seriously, and their food would be safe to eat, dinner was delivered with a salad that had crushed walnuts on top and orzo pasta that had pine nuts pesto (which we were only told about after contacting to complain about the walnuts). This could have been a fatal mistake on their part and we were lucky our nut-allergic son did not eat the food. Upon finding the allergens we promptly threw the food away and questioned the safety of the other dishes. This celebratory event could have turned tragic in a heartbeat and I don't believe Silver Spoon understands the severity of the situation. We never received an explanation as to how something so dangerous could have happened, especially in today's day of food allergy awareness. We are truly disappointed because I know businesses can properly handle food allergies; this is not one of them.

Thank you to Audrey and her talented team for a great event. We hosted my dad's retirement party…read moreOctober 4 and chose Audrey for several reasons. She was extremely responsive, was creative in coming up with a menu that would work for a large group and was able to accommodate several of my guests' dietary restrictions (GF/DF). Doing any party can be complicated, but during COVID is especially complicated and Audrey's team accommodated the restrictions very well with masks and gloves and served the food for the guests. The food was fantastic, the guests were very complimentary of the menu, the quality of the food and the servers was top notch. I didn't have to worry about a thing - they came in, set up, served and left the kitchen better than they found it!

Everything was flavorful, well timed, and beautifully presented. What really stood out was working with Lisa Sheppard and her team.

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. Honestly one of the most unprofessional, ill informed customer client interactions. I felt like there were a lot of things not aligning for what I'd expect a professional caterer to know. 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.
