"Louise Gonna break my heart, gotta make a start…read more Gotta get it together with Louise " (The Hollies) Opened in 1993, Cafe Louise has sure made a name for themselves on many fronts. They are a big time catering company for social events and weddings in the private world and fundraising galas and parties in the corporate world. They have a retail store in Glastonbury with refrigerated cases full of "Grab and Go" beef, pork, chicken and seafood entrees, plus appetizers, quiches, soups, salads, vegetables, sides and desserts. We chose three packaged trays to take home and try - Cauliflower Mac and Cheese ($12.95), a package of twelve chicken cornucopia appetizers ($36), and a package of 20 mini potato pancakes ($20). Everything was delicious. I'd say my favorite for taste were the chicken cornucopias. They were cute little chicken and cheese quesadillas shaped like miniature ice cream cones! I'm sure they are a big hit at catered events. I'd also say my favorite for value was the cauliflower mac and cheese. It was a huge portion we made into 6 servings and for $12.95 seemed very fair.

We made a special trip to Tree House brewing and unfortunately he thought it was ok to take one. We didn't say anything but the entire management staff for our store watched him do it. We will most likely use them in the future, but probably make sure they don't have staff members taking things.

I definitely recommend Emily's for your next event.

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.

Extremely friendly service by the owner and they make a mean burger and fries. It was huge and way better than anything you can get at the nearby McDonald's and Wendy's. I've also tried the Asian Beef wrap which was delicious as well as the breakfast sandwiches on hard rolls. I don't think you can go wrong here, and I'm happy to find somewhere I can get a fresh breakfast or lunch that tastes great and isn't fast food. I'm looking forward to trying way more items from the menu.

And the staff was equally excellent, including Brittney's communication and support throughout the process. Everything was so easy! Couldn't have imagined a better experience and would highly recommend them.

Working with SKBT and Karen has been a joy from start to finish. From the moment we walked into our tasting to create our delicious menu, to last minute changes, to executing perfect food the day of, I want to relive this experience again and again. 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.
