We recently held my son’s rehearsal dinner at Iz the Place. Everything was PERFECTION. I had received several recommendations from friends and had asked for a general estimate to get a feel for the cost. I was very pleased with the estimate and I booked them immediately without ever having even been in the venue. I had seen pictures online and from friends and knew it was the place.Melissa was my point of contact, and she was wonderful. She was on top of everything and helped with this nervous Mother of the Groom at every turn with a smile on her face. I met with her a month before the rehearsal dinner and she was very helpful with suggestions and I even made upgrades to the menu since the estimate was under what we had budgeted. Melissa is a very warm and caring person and is very knowledgeable about events, menus, etc. She went out of her way to accommodate us so that we could decorate earlier when we had conflicts with other events we had to attend that day.Everyone raved about the food and how lovely everything was. The two wait-staff were fantastic. They were everywhere at all times. I realized we didn't have a gift table and they got that set up in the middle of putting down salad plates before I could even turn around. The bartender was taking care of the bar and any questions that I had as well. The rehearsal ended earlier than expected and people arrived 30 minutes early. But the staff didn't blink an eye. The bar was opened early and everyone just socialized until everything was ready.The food was fantastic. Every bite I put into my mouth was delicious. The passed appetizers were a huge hit. We had fried mac-n-cheese bites, loaded potato bites, and phyllo dough wrapped sausages. Several people commented they could have just eaten the mac-n-cheese bites and been perfectly happy with just that. Our dinner was a buffet with grilled chicken, beef tenderloin, fettuccine alfredo, mixed vegetables, garden salad, and rolls. The seasoning on the grilled chicken was fantastic. The beef tenderloin was flavorful and juicy. Everyone enjoyed the fettuccine alfredo and the mixed vegetables as well. As soon as the pans were empty, they were quickly refilled. And the dessert bites set at each table were fought over!! We had strawberry cake/icing, cheesecake bites, and chocolate mousse bombs. It could not have been any better and I would not have changed a single thing.I highly recommend Iz the Place. The venue was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the staff was top notch. The price was reasonable in my opinion considering what all was included and based on other estimates I’ve seen from other venues. You won’t regret using them.

Excellent food. Whether dropping in for a sandwich or using them to cater an event in my home, I've always been very happy with the quality and professionalism.

Kay and her staff catered a wedding at Red Gates at Kelly Creek. The food and service were fabulous. I highly recommend Iz for any gathering or wedding.

We stopped for lunch during work one day and I was so happy with the food! I had a grilled pimento cheese sandwich and it was amazing. With fresh fruit on the side, the cost was less than $10.If I wasn't diabetic, I'd have dessert - that's the real attraction!! Almond cake or one of their chocolate selections - it all looks amazing! I'll be back!

My favorite chicken salad!

I read reviews, researched vendors required by the venue, and met with the owner of Everything Iz Catering, which ultimately led to our decision to use them for my daughter's wedding. I was embarrassed and disappointed with the food prepared for our guests. The grilled chicken was refrigerator cold and the hamburger sliders and sweet potato fries were also cold. The only thing warm was the macaroni and cheese and corn fritters. The fruit and cheese tray was pretty, but not good. There was a kitchen at the venue, but never used to warm the food. They put dessert plates out for the buffet meal. When I asked about the plates, they said that's all they had. When it was time to slice the wedding cake, I had to look for one of the servers, and she said they thought we were supposed to have someone do that, and I told her we were told they would slice the cake for us. She put on some gloves and sliced the cake after I insisted. We paid for three staff members even though we only had two there. The plates left for serving the cake were the luncheon plates, which should've been used for the buffet lunch! Then, one of our guests informed us that the hot chocolate was burning. No one ate the food. They did enjoy the hot chocolate bar before it started burning, but the food was tossed in the garbage. I had the venue employee toss the leftovers they packed up into the garbage as well. It was the worse catering food and service experience I've ever experienced...and a costly one! I emailed the owner after I was unable to speak to her by phone. She never replied to my email.

We have been ordering lunch for years, but the last 4 times the person on the phone is extremely rude. Once we placed our order on pick up the guy at the register was terribly rude also. They were out of half the menu and couldn’t even have the decency to put crackers in the bag for the salad. We on average have 4 to 6 to go orders at a time. But we will no longer be coming back.

I've been coming to Iz for years and love their chicken salad plate. Today the fruit was pushing being bad (a few blue berries were) and the pumpkin bread was dry. I still recommend them but quality control could be better this visit.

I love this place! It has the most wonderful breads,banana nut,pumpkin,zucchini, that are moist and melt in your mouth. They have lunch plates that include a choice of half a sandwich,salad,a slice of specialty bread. They dont forget your sweet tooth offering lemon bars and cookies. They make their own pimento cheese, chicken or tuna. You can alsoborder dinner to take home and they are wonderful!! The staff are friendly,fast and always has a smile on their face. Ive never used their event space but they will be the first I turn to if I have an event to plan! Drop by Iz , pick up some wonderful eats and enjoy!!
