I didn't deal with them personally, my colleague did, but she said the whole process was smooth and friendly and professional.
We ordered for about 30 people 2 choices of mains for a work Christmas Party, I'm fairly certain my colleague was in contact with them over a month before our event.
Price approx 25-35$ per person for: 1x bouchees, a salad, a main with side, a dessert and bread and butter (very decent pricing for the quality).
Food options were weird as hell imo, Tofu General Tao or Rhubarb Apple Chicken. I reluctantly and skeptically chose the Rhubarb Apple Chicken, (cuz I generally avoid the vegetarian option like a disease), but the execution was actually delicious! I was terrified it would be like some nasty swanson microwave meal but it was actually very pleasing to the tastebuds! The chicken was tender and not overcooked, the rhubarb apple sauce was more like a gravy than an applesauce (like I was dreading) and the monte carlo potato it came with was very good and not dry. The mushroom bouchée was delicious, perfect texture and flavour. The salad tasty, but much like a fancy coleslaw. The bread fresh, moist and soft, not tough or chewy. I didn't try the dessert but it looked good, maybe some kinda chocolate cake/brownie. Portions were decent for the price and quality (not too little not too much).
The one thing I didn't like was that my colleague who set it up felt the need to stay by the serving table all night to explain the dishes and what main went with what side. I didn't ask her why she did that because I needed her help to know which dishes I was supposed to take, so I'm assuming the others did too. It would have been better if they had some sort of system with labels +/or custom containers, maybe, so that it would be more self explanatory or even a catering staff that actually does that part? Maybe that's an option at a higher price? I duno, I feel like my colleague didn't get to just relax and enjoy our Christmas Party and that made me sad. Only reason for 4 stars.
I would surprisingly be willing to order catering from Zeste again. For how much I was seriously dreading it and already fathoming a negative review in my mind before trying it, that should really be telling you a lot. Go ahead and have these guys cater for you, I'm pretty sure you'll be impressed too. read more
