    Yesterday, I attended a one day developmental course downtown inside One Financial Plaza, better known as the "Gold Building". The e-mails I received with pre-work and FAQs mentioned that "there was a nice cafeteria downstairs". That description really didn't do justice to what I found when I stepped off of that down escalator, because the Take Five Cookery was exceptional. You can visit a grill station (that serves breakfast in the morning), a salad bar (that has fruit and yogurt in the morning), and a sandwich area open for lunch. The variety is great- hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches, hot entrees for under ten bucks, soups, burgers, etc. Tons of choices. I had a breakfast sandwich and a coffee for a little over six bucks. The sandwich was called the "Hot & Spicy", with egg, chorizo sausage, monterrey pepper jack cheese and a spicy chipotle sauce. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiched I've had in a long time. For lunch, I had a salad bar and a medium Minestrone soup, and both were excellent. They are open to the public M-F, between the hours of 7 and 2.

    Solid breakfast place. I've worked downtown for almost 2 years and it still surprises me how many people don't know about Take Five! I come here for breakfast a couple of times a month and usually get a BEC on a hard roll. Everything is cooked fresh and to your liking. You can add toppings as well. In addition to breakfast sandwiches and omelettes, they've got a fruit bar, yogurt, cereal, and some other options for you. The chefs always have smiles on their faces and the people at the checkout ask your name and how your day is going. I've only been for a lunch a couple of times but have had the same experience. It's good, reliable food for a decent price, and you don't have to fight crowds to get through!

    This is a decent place in downtown to have a breakfast. You walk into the gold building lobby there is an escalator on the left side going down to the ground floor. This place is there in the ground floor. In such a large popular building this place is very easy to miss. In there they have a bagel section, a fruit, granola, yogurt etc section, a coffee section, an omelet station and a deli counter. I went with the omelette station. I took the three omelet one. Because I don't want to pick and choose, just asked him to put everything. It was alright. There were many flavors of coffee available. For a change I mixed hazelnut and coconut flavor coffees. As usual added some milk. There were cinnamon and nutmeg available. That was something new for me. So just added a little from both. My coffee was very flavorful and different.

    I stopped in on a cold day and got some excellent home made soup. It was Smoked Chicken Noodle. I'll need to stop by more often!

    The food is really good but expensive. Not worth spending $14 for a sandwich and drink for lunch.

They were helpful, responsive, and everything was clear and upfront. There were no surprise charges, or "gotchas". In fact they did several things beyond the scope of the contract without additional charges. More importantly, on the wedding day everything went perfectly. They gave us great advice on the set up of the tables, chairs, bar etc. They listened carefully to everything that was asked of them, made a couple of outstanding suggestions and dealt with the problems caused by strong gusts of wind at an outdoor venue with calm assurance. All of the food was incredible. The hor's d'ourves were fantastic, especially the brie and artichoke tarts, mini lobster rolls and tuna tacos. The mac and cheese in mini ramekins were also a huge hit. The dinners were equally delicious. I had the half chicken, which was served with a delicious polenta. It was absolutely amazing. Perfectly cooked, moist with a crispy skin. Other sides were served family style and were all fantastic. The dessert was also superb. Each guest received a trio of mini desserts, each of which was delightful. We had several guests with food restrictions (vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free). The servers made sure the restrictions were observed, and they made it a point to bring appropriate appetizers to those guests, which was a very nice touch. All of the guests raved about the food. The service was also first class. There were so many servers handling the passed hor's d'ourves that every guest had multiple chances to try each of the offerings. Service of the dinner was equally impressive. The venue is outdoors, and it is a bit of a hike from the kitchen tent to the dining area. Despite that, the guests were served quickly, and the food came to the table still hot. Finally, their prices are quite reasonable, especially given the outstanding quality of the food and service. A very good value.

Working with SKBT and Karen has been a joy from start to finish.

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.
