We hired A La Carte Catering for our teacher recognition event and everything was amazing! Everyone is still talking about the food. We had plenty of leftovers and the corn dip and desserts were the most talked about!

Wonderful sandwiches served on a variety of breads. Delicious quiche (spinach and green chili), a real crowd pleaser! Lovely fruit and cheese platter with a nice assortment. Didn't order it this time, but the cookie platter looked incredible!

I ordered fruit kabobs for a party. They were bright and colorful and delicious. The fruit variety was perfect and the fruit tasted great. Owner was responsive and kind, even when I forgot to pay as promised! Will definitely use A la carte again.
