I got a recommendation for this catering service from my Aunt. I was a little leery at first, given…read morethe design of the caterer's website, but my Aunt knows her food, so I decided to trust her opinion. I'm glad that I did
I ordered the a la carte (buffet style) catering option from Simply Black and White for my wedding's rehearsal dinner. My folks are pretty easy going, so if the food wasn't the best it wouldn't have been a problem, but I'm sure I wouldn't have heard the end of it from her side of the family if the food was bad. Luckily, the food was great and Chef Ralph came in and set up everything on time and very quickly. This is what we ordered:
Entree
Spicy BBQ Beef Brisket (Awesome, I want more)
Smoked Italian Sausage, Peppers, and Onions (Great, a classic)
Calypso Shrimp Linguine (Awesome)
Aruba Grilled Beef and Chicken Kabobs (Damn, I was very surprised at how well this was cooked, tender, juicy, and flavorful)
Sides:
Mediterranean Pasta Salad (Good)
Potato Salad (Pretty basic, but still good)
Bacon Baked Beans (I love baked beans, but they are baked beans so there's not much to say lol)
I thought that the pricing was very reasonable, and we got a lot of great food for our dinner. We had planned on about 40 guests, but I think closer to 50 showed up. We had more than enough food, and plenty of left overs which were all devoured the next day (a testament to how good the food was I think).
Chef Ralph offers quite a few different catering services from drop off buffet style to full service personal chef. I can only testify that the buffet style food was amazing and a reasonable price.
Although the food and price were amazing, the experience wasn't completely perfect. I did have trouble navigating the website, and email, my preferred mode of communication, was a little slow. Given that these small nitpicks have nothing to do with the end product, the service and food, I can wholeheartedly recommend Simply Black and White Catering. My mouth is watering thinking about the BBQ Brisket right now.
According to their website, Simply Black and White Catering serves all of Southeastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod, and Eastern Rhode Island.
