I hired Hey Chef to help with the stress of entertaining up to 36 guests over the Thanksgiving…read moreweek. They were scheduled to serve lunch for 21 and dinner for 36 on Wednesday 11/26, as well as 32 for dinner on Friday 11/28. Wednesday lunch was tasty, however the brioche slider buns per the menu were actually regular Safeway rolls, not brioche. 12 for $6.49! The dessert fell short of anything remotely high level. The brownies on skewers with fruit were dry and fell off the skewers. Wednesday dinner was a disaster. I ordered food for 36 people. We only had 32 including 6 kids, so we should have had plenty. We ran out of asparagas 2/3 of the way thru the line. the platter had enough for 12-15 people. The shrimp - one of the two main courses - ran out as well. I will try to attach a picture of the shrimp before anyone touched it! The photo (pre-serving) looks like there couldn't have been more than 40-50 shrimp. The chef told me he purchased 4-5/person. That would have been 180 shrimp! That was an out and out lie. I ate nothing, as we ran out of food. The owner did tell me afterwards that she looked at the grocery receipt, and he hadn't purchased enough. The dessert was not cake as planned. It appeared to be more of the same brownies, and they were not great. Friday dinner was okay. It was a taco bar. The chef put too much rice in the pot, and it boiled over onto our hardwood floor, rice and all. Then lots of wet garbage was put into the trash compactor, breaking it. The food was tasty and there was enough, but there was nothing high-end about it. Since the event, the owner admitted to me that they had never used the chef before. This was a huge mistake to send out an unknown for 3 large, very expensive meals. There was nothing "gourmet" about his preparation or presentation. Also, the owner admitted to me that the chef knew he was going to be short on dinner on Wednesday. He had a 3 hour break between the two services when he could have purchased more food. We believe that we were grossly overcharged for the chef's time. We were charged over 24 hours for his time alone on Wednesday. The food was supposed to be prepared in our home, but most of it was not. I was not presented with the grocery receipts, so I imagine those could have been inflated. With 21 for lunch, and 32 for both of the dinners, I paid $150/person/meal - over $13,000. And when you consider that one of the meals was a taco bar, the price was outrageous. I hired Hey Chef to ease my stress through the week-long holiday with a lot of guests. Instead, I was embarrassed by the shortcomings and more stressed. I expected the owner to handle these issues more professionally and issue a decent partial refund. I was offered a $300 credit towards a future booking! I am disappointed in Hey Chef for not taking responsibility for failing to come close to our expectations. I would certainly not use their services again, nor would I recommend them.

First off, Stew was super responsive and helpful in crafting the bar menu and coming up with our signature cocktails. Speaking of which, I had numerous friends come up to me throughout the night and specifically comment on how delicious the cocktails were.

If you have a chance to work with them, do it!

I can not in good faith recommend Mountain Magic Catering. I was very disappointed with how Peter,…read morethe owner, handled a change to our event. Due to serious family health circumstances, we had to downsize our wedding to a smaller family gathering of about 1/2 the size of our wedding. We did not cancel our event, in fact it was still held on the same date, at the same time, and at the same location. Unfortunately, Peter would not accommodate our smaller event or refund any portion of our $700 deposit. We were told there was a 75 person minimum, even though this was never discussed verbally or by email before we paid our deposit and there was nothing in writing of this requirement anywhere in our catering paperwork. This was especially surprising because their website referenced smaller gatherings and family reunions. I felt there should have been some willingness to work with us under the circumstances and especially since we didn't even cancel. The only thing mentioned was our deposit would be nonrefundable if cancelled. Other vendors involved with our event were willing to make adjustments, which made this experience particularly disappointing. If you plan to use this caterer, I strongly recommend getting everything in writing, including minimum guest requirements, deposit policies, and exactly what happens if your event needs to be changed. Based on my experience, Peter was very difficult to work with when our circumstances changed and showed little flexibility. Unfortunately, I felt the way our situation was handled was unfair and unprofessional.
