We called Olivia after speaking with many caterers about about approach, cuisine and budget, and we were honestly getting a bit defeated. My first conversation with Olivia was so incredibly refreshing in that I told her we are trying to decide between tacos or barbeque and she responded with a very effortless, "why choose?". This immediately put me at ease as we started to brainstorm together. All other caterers were now subpar. She crafted a beautiful menu for us that included mini (single-bite) sized tacos as part of the hors d'oeuvres and an upscale barbeque with hometown roots for the entree. Our guests have not stopped RAVING about our food (strong accolades for the BBQ still rolling in from our Texas and Tennessee-native guests, so you know it was great!). We received a truly personalized experience with Olivia. She even stepped in to work with us directly when we had questions and get saleswoman was unavailable! From the first conversation through the tasting and our wedding, Olivia was one of our top vendors. Her saleswoman, Christina, was excellent at offering advice and ideas as well as suggestions from other events they'd catered (either at 501 or otherwise). On staff, Olivia also has a food design team member who created the most instagram-worthy displays! Definitely an added bonus. Would 10/10 use and recommend Olivia!

Great things are big reasons to celebrate! Birthdays, a 200th review and becoming an Elite All…read moreStar!! So, in honor of all these accomplishments, I'm dedicating my 200th review to Chef Lance, who helped make my birthday on Jan 27th perfect, very special and exactly what I had hoped for on many levels! From my first conversation with Chef Lance, I knew I found a wonderful Chef, and person! He replied to my initial contact within an hour of messenging him. Through our many emails and texts, together we created a menu that well exceeded 5 stars!! My birthday dinner was prepared in my home for my family, 6 people total! Dinner was called for at 7:30 and Chef Lance arrived at my home around 4:00 to set up and begin preparations. He was so cordial, knowledgeable and his stories of becoming a chef and all his experiences through the years fascinated me! Now for the good stuff, my menu.... Coconut Shrimp appetizer, Penne alla Vodka, Salad, Chicken Francaise and Honey Glazed Carrots. The entire night felt like we were eating in a very cozy restaurant! Chef Lance plated every dish and we enjoyed it all tremendously! Everything was just delicious! I have to point out certain things that stood out to me: the chicken was purchased from a butcher, jumbo shrimp were used and so incredibly fresh and succulent! The coconut was toasted beforehand and the homemade dipping sauce was nothing like anything I have ever had before. It was fruit based with an Asian twist, just fantastic! Because Penne alla Vodka is a favorite in my family, an extra batch was made so everyone could take some home to enjoy again! After dinner, my kitchen was completely cleaned and all dishes, pots, etc were washed. My daughters BF bought a cheescake for dessert so at that point it was time for Chef Lance to leave. From start to finish, he was in my home for almost 5 hours! I can't rave enough what an experience having a chef prepare an intimate dinner was like! If you are looking for someone who will exceed every expectation you may have, Chef Lance is who you should contact. There's no doubt I will be seeing him in my home again! Chef Lance, thank you for a birthday dinner experience I will never forget!!

A Truly Exceptional Catering Experience - Reimagined Nutrition…read more Ali Senatore of Reimagined Nutrition is nothing short of extraordinary. Building her business from the ground up, she brings not only talent and creativity, but heart and dedication to everything she does. I recently hired Ali to cater a small family gathering, and from the very first conversation, I knew I was in expert hands. She asked all the right questions--about the type of event, dietary needs, allergies, and overall feel I wanted to create. Her attention to detail is remarkable. Ali provided an extensive, thoughtfully curated menu and offered wonderful suggestions that reflected both her culinary expertise and her deep understanding of health-conscious eating. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and allergies, and she seamlessly designs menus that accommodate everyone--without ever sacrificing flavor or beauty. The menu she created for us was vibrant, seasonal, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was carefully considered--from the colorful crudité cups with a silky green goddess dressing, to the fresh spring herbed couscous, and the perfectly spiced lamb kofte kebabs with a refreshing dairy-free tzatziki. Even the fruit platter was a stunning display--abundant, fresh, and artfully arranged. What impressed me most was how present and supportive Ali was throughout the entire process. She truly partners with you, guiding you every step of the way to ensure your event is exactly what you envision--and more. Despite being fully booked when I first contacted her, Ali graciously made room for my event. That level of commitment speaks volumes. If you are looking for catering that is not only healthy and beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor and care, I wholeheartedly recommend Ali Senatore and Reimagined Nutrition. She transforms food into an experience.

There were about 50 people at the event which was at our house and backyard. The entire process from planning the menu (healthy and plant-based) to coordinating all of the supplies and personnel needed, to the look and taste of the food was totally on point! The guests raved about the food and many couldn't believe there were no animal products used in any of the recipes. Highlights included the stuffed shells, zucchini blossoms, black bean sliders and the absolutely fabulous turmeric ginger lemonade, among many other wonderful dishes. Some of our guests had special dietary needs such as being gluten free or certain food allergies and Ali was easily able to accommodate them so that there were lots of choices. Having that Registered Dietitian background is a huge advantage in being able to handle specific dietary and medical needs and what sets Ali apart from traditional caterers. We were thrilled with Ali and her team at Reimagined Nutrition and look forward to planning our next event together! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
