Scott responded within a few hours and was available to talk it through, suggest ideas and accommodate any and all guidelines we provided. He was quick in his responses and quote and even late night questions all while we had less than 2 days to plan and execute! On the day of the team was early and set up a beautiful spread. They were very friendly, kind, professional and caring. The food was delicious! They walked around to make sure everyone had everything they needed and even provided full service on putting together the perfect bagel bite with all the toppings. They packed up all the leftovers and cleaned up so we didn't have to do a thing! We could not have asked for a better experience! They provided a fully kosher spread and knew how to work within a kosher kitchen. Truly appreciate having the process be so easy and smooth on such a hard day.

Highly recommended!Shoutout to Chef Ray Swanson of Chef 805 Catering for an absolutely incredible…read moreexperience. My wife and I attended a friend's birthday party where Chef Ray handled the catering, and the food was truly outstanding. Having spent 22 years in the food service industry myself, I'm not easily impressed--but the presentation, flavors, and overall execution were exceptional. Every item was fantastic. The bruschetta with goat cream cheese was fresh and perfectly balanced. The seared ahi tuna bites were beautifully prepared, and the shrimp spring rolls with ginger peanut sauce were bursting with flavor. Even the flatbread pizza with Caesar salad was spot-on. One great dish after another--we were honestly stuffed by the end of the night. What stood out most was the attention to detail and restaurant-quality presentation, something you rarely see at private catered events. Chef Ray clearly takes pride in his craft, and it shows in every bite. We're already looking forward to the next event he caters at our friend's house--and we'll definitely be using Chef 805 Catering for one of our own parties in the future. -- Anil

The food was delicious, the serving staff kept on top of making sure all stations were stocked with food and that different courses were served on time.

She had the dietary requests perfect, flowed through the kitchen as it was her own, and brought her Server, who was extremely accommodating and professional as well. He topped off her 5 Star courses with 5 star Service. We all truly enjoyed this EXPERIENCE and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for an intimate event or even a large event. I'm confident she will not disappoint. We will be calling on her again for our next event and I'm sure she'll have many other referrals from our guests who attended. Thank you Lisa for exceeding my expectations.

My daughter chose them to cater her wedding next July, and after this experience, we could not be more confident in her choice. The setup was casual and very cool.

They had one of their mobile wood fired pizza ovens fired up using olive wood, which was great to see in action. The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. You can tell right away that pizza is truly their craft. The food was excellent, and the pizzas were next level. Perfectly cooked, incredible flavor, and clearly made by people who really know how to do it. For a tasting, we had a great time. We brought our own drinks, some beer and wine, ate our fill, and even went home with full bellies and leftovers. It felt relaxed, fun, and well organized. If this tasting is any indication, they are going to do an amazing job next summer. This is what they do, and they do it exceptionally well.
