Food Selection

Do you use all fresh food and produce?
Yes, we support farm efforts and only purchase meat, produce, and grains that have been prepared in accordance with current standards. None of our food is from a can. It is all-homemade and is prepared no more than 12 hours before your event.

Food tasting
Can we taste the food ahead of time?
Yes, we encourage all clients to taste the items they are interested in having on the their menu.

Taxes and gratuities
Are taxes and gratuities included?
No, taxes and gratuity for wait staff are not included in the quote for your event. We are happy to add taxes in. However, there is always the chance that more or less wait staff will be needed once the day of your event arrives. Generally, we have one server to every 40 guests, but again, that may vary given the event.

Leftovers
What do you do with any leftovers?
If no requests are made by the client, we donate all food leftovers (nonperishables) to Community Shelters. We are also happy to prepare a "leftover basket" for the bride and groom at a wedding or anyone else sponsoring an event that would like to take food home with them. Please be sure to mention that you would like a basket prior to your event.

Tableware and linens
Are tableware and linens included?
With most menus, tableware and linens are not included, and there is an additional cost for glasses, linens, candles, etc. We can provide you with a price list once we know more about your event and what type of tableware is appropriate.

Budget Concerns
I am on a tight budget, can you work with me?
Yes, we are happy to work closely with clients so that they can stick to their budget. Please let us know your budget up front, so we can be sure to adhere to this amount. As a rule of thumb, the food you serve determines the final cost more than a sit-down dinner versus a buffet. We have menus to fit any budget. Just let us know your budget and we will be sure to meet it.
