So Mark W., the "owner" decided after 3 yrs he would defend his company and reply to my original review lol. 3 yrs later! And he doesn't even know what company I worked for but he's sure that they didn't cater it lol. You guys are ridiculous.

I ordered two salads for an event and the delivery person was punctual and friendly. The salads were delicious but enormous! I hate wasting food and if I had known they were so large I would've only ordered one--the Mediterranean.

Had an office party last night and was truly embarrassed by the food and the presentation. We paid an outrageous amount of money, for what looked like some frozen crap they reheated and threw on a plastic platter. The crab cakes were the smallest little balls I've ever seen, the bread for the bruschetta was so hard people were complaining they were going to chip a tooth, paid 10x's the amount for the prawns that they seriously bought at Costco. Panicked when we saw the food and had someone run down the street to get bags of chips and dip and cheese to try and offset the fact the there was not enough food and it looked like crap. You guys seriously need to reevaluate your business plan because you won't last long in this business if you keep producing the crap you served us last night.

I wish I had checked their ratings of 3 stars before ordering the $250 taste. Of all 5 items only 1 item was cooked good but bland taste. For the price I expected a better tasting food then non Chef cooking. FYI seek references from friends.
