We can't thank Corbin and the team for all they did to make the food and service so memorable!

Wow. What a pleasure it was to work with 111 Maine and eat their food at our wedding!…read more A month later and guests are still telling us how great the food was. Not only was the food fabulous, but we were so incredibly impressed with the team - from the owner Jennifer to her staff onsite the day of.....they blew us away. They really thought of everything and the cocktail hour, dinner and bar service were just perfect. At one point during the cocktail hour, one of the servers came up to ask me what I wanted to sample and brought me a plate of appetizers - knowing how hard it is for the bride and groom to actually eat on their own wedding day. It was moments like that one that make 111 Maine stand out as one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding.

We hired 2gether private chefs for our wedding of 86 people on 7/6/19…read more I really cannot say enough positive things about Amy, Eva, Jen and the rest of the 2gether team. Set aside the amazing food - their service and professionalism is top notch. They made the entire process seamless, from curating the menu to building out the timeline of events to even helping coordinate decorations. Instead of providing us a standard menu, they sat down with us and worked on the menu top to bottom based on "food memories" and our favorite flavors. It was so special to have an event loaded with delicious food that was either based on a memory (empanadas!) or one of our favorite dishes. It's been a week since our wedding and our friends & family are still raving about how good everything was. It goes without saying if I were to ever need chef services for any event big or small, 2gether would hands down be my first phone call. I cannot wait to work with them again!!

Was excited to find the Farm To Coast food truck recently because I had heard they had a vegan tofu…read morebánh mì (which is my favorite sandwich these days). I ordered two and, while my partner in crime absolutely LOVED his, I wasn't really a fan. The sandwich comes on a baguette and is filled with a slab of coconut curry marinated tofu, pickled veg (like carrots and radishes), spicy vegan mayo, and cilantro. Unfortunately, my bread was pretty burned - as such, that black toast char was the dominating flavor (and smell). It was also the dominating ingredient as the slab of tofu was much smaller than I was expecting. In the end, I tossed the bread and ate just the tofu and veggies (which, again, I wish there had been more of, and much less of the stems of cilantro). Loved the variety of spices that came from the individual components of the jalapenos, the curry, and the spread though! While I was disappointed in the sandwich I got (especially at $11 when compared to sandwiches of similar prices from other food trucks), I still think they're great. The person taking my order was super friendly, the person making the food was engaging, and their passion to use as much fresh, local ingredients as possible is impressive and appreciated. Also the presentation of their food is stunning, and proves that restaurant quality food can come out of a mobile kitchen. While they might not be my first choice, I definitely appreciate what they're creating and the flavor profiles they're exploring!

Wow! Literally no complaints or constructive criticism for this food truck. The food was cooked…read morequickly, the customer service was friendly, and portion sizes were generous. I got a Pork Belly Bahn Mi and a fry. When I dropped $17 for lunch I THOUGHT that was a lot until they handed me two large boats full of food that I couldn't finish! The sandwich was fresh and juicy. The fries were perfectly crisp and seasoned. I was able to share the fries with 2 other coworkers! It's not often that I walk away from a food truck thinking portion sizes align with both the quality and the pricing, but this one nails it. The menu isn't large, but that's because they choose to perfect what they are slinging, putting quality over quantity. Definitely give this place a try... and split the fries!

My wife and I hired Coastal Critters to cater our wedding party this weekend in Bar Harbor, ME…read more From the beginning, James was friendly and easy to work with. He was very responsive, always emailing back within 24 hours or less. On the day of the event, the crew was fantastic. Very pleasant and easy to get along with, and extremely helpful. We ordered the basic buffet service and they went above and beyond, offering to bus tables in the back of the house where we had separate beverages and appetizers, and even making a 40 min round trip to get a new tap when our keg wouldn't work. The food was absolutely delicious! We had the lobster bake and land lover's grill. Everyone who attended loved it and many went back for seconds. I don't plan on getting married twice but if I do Coastal Critters is catering again! ;)

It was a dream to work with someone so creative and flexible for our wedding. A lot of caterers…read morewanted to know our budget first, but we knew what we wanted and had no idea what it would cost. Laura allowed us to tell her about our dream spread for our wedding and then she priced it out based on the things we really wanted. She was wonderful about making suggestions and adjustments and could even accommodate my vegan cousin who is also gluten free and deathly allergic to nuts and soy (yes, I know). We loved how mobile Laura was and that she was able to work at our site, but keep in mind that if you want her to work in more unusual locations that she will have to rent equipment to do her fine work with her staff. The process was incredibly creative and satisfying. She hosted a beautiful tasting in our own home for five (although I think only four are included). Laura's food was absolutely divine. We had our rehearsal dinner catered by her (as a drop-off): Pulled pork, cold bbq chicken, amaaaazing potato salad, corn pudding, cookie platter (you know-- exactly the kinds of foods you want to eat the night before you squeeze into your finery). Our wedding buffet included 5 delightful passed hors d'oeuvres, an epic charcuterie and cheese spread, a family style salad and bread course, and then a buffet of grilled bistro steaks and salmon, roasted vegetables and fresh summer salads. We were in heaven! Laura outsources wedding cakes, but she did make some amazing peach and apple hand pies as an alternative to wedding cake! Her bartender made a haymakers punch (switchel-- awesomely refreshing) and raspberry leaf iced tea and they were happy to serve the alcohol that we had purchased. We were incredibly happy with the wonderful service on the day of the wedding. The team she assembled to serve on the wedding day was incredibly friendly and professional. Five stars all around! *A quick suggestion to guests working with your caterer on a larger event is to dump e-mail contents/conversation tidbits into a Google Doc that you can share with Laura. There was a lot of back and forth on the phone and e-mail that got confusing at times. Do yourself a favor and keep it all in one sacred location! *Laura only took checks for our payments which was fine for us, but we would have appreciated being able to PayPal our payments as floating thousands of dollars in checks to the many vendors (none of whom took credit cards or PayPal) was rather nerve racking at times.

y husband and I were absolutely stunned and amazed at the incredible service and professionalism of…read morethe Churchill staff, and the quality of the food that they provided for our daughter's wedding. Those words don't mean that we were surprised - we knew it would be really good. However, our wildest expectations were exceeded time and time again throughout the night. The food was absolutely out of this world. Everyone is still talking about the hors d'oeuvres and the dinner was so delicious. Their staff could not have been more accommodating, more service oriented, or professional. From the uniforms, to the clear rain ponchos, to their genuine smiles, they presented the best possible brand for Churchill's and created the perfect atmosphere for our daughter's wedding. We were so grateful for the presence of the owner at our event; it was another sign that he wanted the event to be flawless, and two of their management staff, although guests at the wedding, were certainly watching and checking all aspects as well. Churchill's staff went significantly out of their way to take care of our family and friends in the wedding party- even making special trips to the event barn with drinks and appetizers during post-ceremony picture taking. It was as though they all knew how difficult and sad it was that the event could not proceed outside as planned (because of the weather) - and set out to create warmth, happiness, and joy to totally dispel the mood that the cold, dreary rain had created. We could not have been more impressed with how helpful their staff was as well. Given that we had to pivot to having the wedding in the barn instead of outside, their staff was right there saying "don't worry, we'll take care of resetting the barn for dancing and getting chairs back to the dining tent." I had been trying to arrange for some guests to help with all of that, and there it was - already taken care of. Churchill's took an incredible burden off all of us with their generous offers and execution of help, and it didn't stop there. The staff was a significant part of helping to "take down the dining area in the tent," and their staff was also there helping to dismantle the event and cocktail barns after the dancing stopped. We had expected to do all of that ourselves the morning after the wedding, and when we went to the barns and the tent and found them totally clean and all the rental items in the catering tent, we were floored. In addition to the "day of" support, I cannot say enough about the incredible support we got throughout this process (not having done a big event like this before with a caterer). The head chef provided an amazing menu for us to consider and an absolutely delicious tasting event, and the Event Operations Manager and Craig (the owner) were a fountain of support with answers to questions, and suggestions for us to consider. That's the kind of proactive service that makes a real difference in an event. There is no other caterer I would use at this point - they are at the top of a list of one now. Everyone who attended the wedding has remarked on how good everything from Churchill's was, and I have been talking to everyone I know this past two weeks, singing their praises. We knew the day would be special, and while the rain dampened our spirits and caused the décor and the plans to not be all we had hoped, the Churchill team totally made this wedding something beyond our wildest dreams. They are all really special people, and we were so grateful they were part of this important day in our family and grateful for all they did to make this day so wonderful.

My niece and her fiancé hired Red Claw for her wedding reception, and the dinner was shockingly…read morebad. Over-cooked corn on the cob, tough "steaks," flavorless potatoes, and scrawny lobsters. Red Claw provided absolutely no utensils for opening the lobsters - no seafood crackers, no crab mallets, no seafood scissors, and no crab knives. They expected us to open up the lobsters with a wooden knife and fork... Red Claw served so-called steaks and soggy corn, yet there were no salt-and-pepper shakers or any other condiments made available. The food was so inedible that guests left the reception early so they could get something to eat at nearby restaurants. Red Claw should change their name to Amateur Hour Lobster Bakes.
