I've been here twice now for lunch and Judy has created such a lovely, welcoming space with tons of healthy, delicious options. This area is booming with offices and young professionals, and the serious lack of healthy options has been really lacking until Edge came along. I've had their grain bowl and cobb salad so far, and they're both healthy, balanced meals that are delicious and substantial. The grain bowl may sound a little boring but there's an abundance of textures - really loved the crunch of the Armenian flatbread and crispy chickpeas on top. They also serve Parallel 49 coffee and lots of baked goods if you're looking for a quick pick me up. If you work in the area and are looking for a great lunch option, please support a great local business and pay them a visit!

I'm somewhat on the fence about this business. Ideally I'd have ranked them 3 and a half stars, but…read moreI'm rounding up. I've been to many events catered by Lazy Gourmet and, for the most part, the meals have been quite good. Not outstandingly great, not bad, but better than average. Very good, I'd say. If I can generalize, on average their main dishes have usually been tasty, their side dishes are hit-or-miss (some are good while others, bland), and their desserts tend to be disappointing. In general, their serving size tends to be small. If you're a guy with a big appetite, you'd need at least two servings of everything. This past Thanskgiving, I ordered three classic dinner holiday meals for me and my close two friends. The price was on a par with all the restaurants that were offering holiday meals to-go - perhaps a bit lower, even. Picking up the meals was a breeze; they have a nearby warehouse where you can park for free in the alley behind where there is a door to enter to get your meal. (I picked up my meals the day before Thanksgiving and I paid to park at a meter on the street, as did other patrons. When we got to the front door, there was a posted sign to go to the rear door to pick up one's order. There I saw that there was free parking. This is all awesome, but it sure would've been good to have known this in advance! Their pick-up order info should advise customers of the free parking in the back, and that we'd have to go to the rear door. SO many of us had to carry our large orders from the back alley to our cars parked in the front by meters). Anyhow, let's talk food, right? It's all about the food! Our turkey meals were, for the most part, very good. The turkey itself was delicious: perfectly cooked and moist and we all loved it. The potatoes were great. The gravy, great. The salad, quite good but not outstanding. Their cranberry-pear sauce was a bit tart but still, quite good. I was too full for the other sides (vegetable, bread rolls) but my friends said they were okay. (Both friends definitely could have eaten more. The portions were small. For me, it was a perfect amount but for regular or big eaters, definitely skimpy portion size). What was VERY disappointing was the desserts. The menu said dessert would consist of: "Dessert Platter: lemon tarts, gingersnaps, ruby chocolate discs, chocolate cupcakes with pumpkin spice latte frosting". Sounds delectable, no? Well, when I opened the dessert box upon returning home from getting the order, I was SO shocked by what I saw: an assortment of nice but tiny, TINY desserts. How tiny, you ask? The "ruby chocolate discs" were each a red chocolate disc the size of a Toonie (perhaps a tad larger - but not by much). The "cupcakes" and lemon tarts were smaller than half an average-sized petite four. No exaggeration, they were the diameter of quarters. The gingersnaps were hardened round cookies (we all said they reminded us of Dad's cookies from the box. You know, the hard cookies you have to dip in tea to soften, lest you risk breaking your teeth). And worse, as tiny as these deserts are, we didn't even get one each of them! They just throw in an assortment so each person gets three. So there were only two "cupcakes" and two "tarts" (the tastiest of the desserts offered), and we also got three red chocolate discs (bland) and two cookies (hard like rocks). I really thought they erred in not giving us three of each item and I immediately emailed and called the place to say they forgot to package the correct desserts for my order. A lady called back right away to advise me that the order was correct, they provide an assortment of desserts and each diner gets three. (I WISH their online ordering menu was clearer about what was offered re: size of desserts and amounts offered, to eliminate confusion). All I can say is, these dessert items were SO small, and only half were tasty, I was so relieved I had a cheesecake in my freezer to serve (I had it saved for another dinner, but used it for Thanksgiving. The LG desserts I got was definitely NOT sufficient or appropriate!). So it's rather a mixed review for this caterer. Would I use them again? Yes, for sure, but now I know to ask specifics about the order, and to have extra foods on hand to augment the ordered meal.

A beautiful box with a 3 course meal came fully ready for us to roll up our sleeves. Each course had everything portioned out, instructions and everything we needed. The amazing Chef led us through each course, making sure that we were all following, and answering any questions along the way. He was charming to say the least! We set up our TV in the dining room so we felt like we were right there! Our box also came with cocktails which were outstanding. We absolutely loved our cooking class. We don't think we will be quitting our jobs anytime soon, but perhaps with a bit more practice we might get offered a job! ;P Highly recommended for birthdays, family events, or corporate! It was an absolute blast!

Unfortunately, the short ribs were too dry, and my second piece was too salty, but I enjoyed the mashed potatoes that accompanied the dish. The garlic fried rice on the sablefish was way too hard, and inedible. The sablefish itself was only okay, and didn't have it's traditional buttery texture. The potato fondant had too strong of a tarragon flavor and was quite disappointing. The tiramisu tasted like the mascarpone custard was scrambled, and I was unable to finish it. Their servers provided excellent service, it's just too bad that the food missed the mark. Also, it's worth noting that this company did not take food safety matters into consideration. We saw staff bringing up food in tubs and no warmers or hot plates were used to keep food outside of the "danger zone".

It seats up to 300 for banquets, with fantastic views of the Fraser river - it is located at the New Westminster Quay - River Market Mall. The dance floor is spacious & is just in front of the 'balcony' which transcends a feeling of dancing in the streets of Italy! The food is catered by Orlando's Catering & I just absolutely love the Risotto they make. It's so delicious! On my last occasion there I had a beef shank that was so soft & seemed to melt in my mouth! I've been very fortunate as well to have been there when the functions I attended had additional dessert provided by Tre Galli Gelato Cafe(located in the mall). Their gelato is mind blowing - try their salted caramel & lemon flavours! One must see this hall to understand it, as its really too beautiful for words. Being able to look out at the Fraser River day or night is pretty spectacular while attending any function here!

I was at an event recently and really enjoying the tasty yummy catered snacks, appetizers, and deserts when I discovered this company called Out to Lunch and loved the name and after further inquiry found also a very responsible company to its local community an the environment... By all means these guys are not Out to Lunch they have nailed it and stand tall over most all companies in its industry. I rarely give out five stars, cause I like to save them for real real special companies like these guys.

One day last month, tired of Quiznos and Joy Lunch Station, I decided I'd find out once and for all where they had hidden themselves. Persistence paid off; I almost felt like I was trespassing, what with all the fences and such, but I found them at the far end of Mayfield Place, ground floor of a low rise. And what a find it has turned out to be! As the name suggests, they serve Italian dishes -- pastas, paninis, and the like, all of which are very tasty and fresh. But more importantly, they have, hands down, the best tiramasu I've found in Metro Vancouver!! It actually comes in a bowl, like it's supposed to! And why is that? Because the cook is a genu-ine eye-talian! Prices are reasonable -- 10 bux for a filling lunch; the food is pleasant, and the atmosphere is nice (though I just take mine to go). If the owners ever read this review, I'd highly recommend you make your signage more clear -- it's confusing figuring out where to go once you turn onto Mayfield Place. With food as good as yours, you don't want to hide, do you? Or DO you? that way there'll be more tiramasu for Dave...

They also run a catering arm of the business, which my company has used and enjoyed. Everything here is better than good, but I highly recommend getting whatever their daily specials are. The soup of the day is always freshly made that morning, and is always unique and good. The chicken caesar salad is a good, filling size with dressing made from scratch. Lots of love goes into this food, and the staff are so pleasant to interact with.
