Tim and the team at La Cuisine were exceptional! The food was outstanding and people couldn't say enough about it. We used them for our Wedding and rehearsal dinner and they just crushed it! Tim really took the time to listen to us when describing the food we like and what style we were going for and made the perfect menu recommendations. We wanted people to rave about the food at our wedding and that's exactly what happened. They are top notch and we couldn't speak more highly of them.

Started working with Tim as our wedding caterer and when we went in for our tasting, he honestly wowed us! We couldn't even finish we loved it all so much! We're so excited he'll be helping us, the food was amazing and the presentation absolutely wonderful!

We always have a great time when we bring a gang there from the Evergreen Woods retirement community to enjoy a birthday brunch. The soups are great, too. Lovely staff, decor, cool service. Only flaw: the tables seem too tall for the chairs, sometimes (us shorties are sensitive about that kinda stuff!).

What a fantastic evening we had at our 1920's Flapper Bash! Many of the guests commented and shared that it was one of the greatest parties they've been to, EVER. We have La Cuisine to thank for making it possible. Each and every person that came from La Cuisine was kind, eager to serve, classy, helpful, approachable and down to earth. Debbie was fantastic, as were all of the chefs, wait staff and Jess, the bartender.
What a crew! The food was absolutely delicious, and the CAKE. the cake was phenomenal. Truly everything was done with excellence. We plan on teaming up with you all at our next opportunity in the future!
