“Our office recently had a Retirement Party and De Angelo's was our caterer for the event. Everything went like clock work, and the food was great. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food. Steve was really helpful in arranging for rental of chairs, tables, etc. I was so pleased how well everything went. Thanks to the De Angelo's crew!“
“I honestly cannot say enough good things about Divine Catering! They catered my wedding on 8/20/2022 and did a fantastic job. The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully set up. The catering staff were on-time, friendly, and very professional.The team behind Divine Catering made sure that I was taken care of during the whole process of setting up wedding catering. Katherine answered all of my questions in a timely and informative manner, addressing the rough reviews of the past with honesty and complete details of changes that had been made since. Lisa was extremely attentive to our booking and even went to look at my venue before the event to get an idea of what would be needed the day of. She made me feel heard and taken care of during our phone conversations and our tastings. I only got to meet the chef, Alisa, once in passing but she was kind and helped to answer questions regarding various appetizers and vegan entrees.Catering can be difficult to navigate for weddings, but Divine Catering really took the time to ensure our event was everything we wanted and within our budget. I will be recommending them to all my family and friends!“
“I loved the atmosphere they created. They even went as far as to decorate the bathrooms with the same aesthetic. The mood setting was lovely, from the overhead lights to the mini tableside lamps, to the comfortable booths and chairs, the leather-bound menus, as well as the waiters kindness and amicableness. The 3 plates we ordered to share were perfect and quite delightful! Compliments to the prep cooks and chefs! I wouldn't change anything.The Mezza Platter Sampler was a perfect appetizer, my personal favorite was the Baba Gannouj. I loved the creamyness and slight tang that it had. But they were all a great try! We had it along with the Queen's Karak (hot saffron milk tea) and it was a perfect tummy warmer along with the freshness of the platter. It was quite aromatic and earthy and creamy all at the same time. Make sure to continuously stir, as it's hot and the spices fall to the bottom, making a delightful tongue punch to end the cup with.The "friday special" Lamb Shank Mandi was an absolutely delicious main entrée, with it's smoked lamb shank, aromatic rice, spiced and spicy dipping sauce and their vegestable stew. All the flavors mixed so perfectly together and filled us up quite nicely.We ended our lovely night in this cozy, beautiful atmosphere with a Date Cake & Ice Cream dessert. The nuts on top were a perfect flavor and crunch alongside the creamy, vanilla carmel ice cream, and the date cake underneath was a perfect pair to the rest of the dessert. Be careful ordering one; you'll get addicted and want more. I did, but unfortunately I was too full of the rest of the yummylicious Saudi Arabian food to get another. (Don't take the stick out of the ice cream, just eat around it carefully. It keeps the ice cream on top of the cake perfectly; no details forgotten.)Vegetarian options: There is one vegetarian appetizer that I saw and one vegan main entrée that I saw. The flavors and aromatics are to die for, so try it once, and if it's not the best, at least you tried it.Dietary restrictions: Dietary Restrictions? Bring your eating pants; everything is worth it and delicious.Parking: Free street parking after a certain point of time in the night; might have to walk a couple of blocks.Paid street parking during the day. If you can order and consume everything in under 2 hours, might be your best choice financially as the lots and garages are pretty pricey. Otherwise you can always move your vehicle and pay for another 2 hours on a different street.Paid lots and garages are scattered about along the streets. Current pricing is $6.00 first hour and $14.00 all day to my knowledge. Could change as years progress.Kid-friendliness: Well-behaved kids at this establishment... Not meant for the rowdy bunch. If you know, you know.Wheelchair accessibility: Completely wheelchair accessible; all on the first floor.“
“If you've never had Kenyan food, you need it in your life. If you don't normally like vegan food, you should give it a try... it had no right being as amazing as it was.Vegetarian options: It's all vegan. It's all incredible.“
“I recently tried Meal Boy, and it's a hidden gem! The Bánh Mì stole the show with three kinds of meats; grilled chicken, roasted pork belly, and combo. - flavorful and perfectly balanced. The staff was exceptionally friendly, making the whole experience even better. Can't wait to go back for more tasty bites!“
“Brian and the crew at MDBBQ delivered outstanding food for our daughter's wedding, in a blizzard in the gorge! Everyone raved about the food, and we had enough leftovers to help feed our guests who got stuck at the hotel for 2 days! Hire them! You won't regret it! We had the smoked chicken, pulled pork, beans, green salad, mac n' cheese, and deviled eggs for 110 guests. PHENOMENAL!!“

“Omg-Melinda and her crew know how to put on a spread! I ordered catering from her for our school staff and everything was healthy, fresh and delicious! We ordered the kale salad, pasta salad, creole quinoa, mac & cheese, Cajun chicken & tofu. Everything was on point. She is so classy she sent us with disposable warming trays, little printed out labels so people with dietary needs could know what was in the dishes and serving utensils. The staff was so impressed and it was really nice to be able to treat them to a really nice lunch! (I could've eaten the whole tub of that kale salad ) I will be recommending Miss'ipi Chefs to everyone I know and look forward to the next time we get to place an order with them!“
“We chose Premiere Catering to be apart of our special day and we are SO glad we did! Michael (the owner) was the main reason we moved forward as he was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely communicative (with fast and thoughtful responses), flexible (completely tailored the experience to our needs) and was purely just a wonderful human to work with. He loves what he does for a living and it definitely shows.As far as the Premiere team on our wedding day - the team and chef(s) did a wonderful job. The food was delicious and it definitely showed as our guests were raving about the options!A big THANK YOU to Michael & the Premiere team for helping make our special day as magical as it was.“
“Picked up a take and heat meal for dinner tonight and it was stunning! Just popped it all in the oven and waited. My husband said that it was the best pork chop he's had prepared anywhere in town! I had to stop myself from eating all the garlic mashed potatoes, and greenbeans myself! So good! Highly, highly recommend!“

“We have been searching for a restaurant that has food that tastes like home for 2.5 years after moving to Portland from Louisiana. Not only was the food absolutely fantastic, but the owner Andrea made us feel like family and was so friendly. We can’t wait to become regulars!“
“Wow, flavor explosion! I just had the dal with rice (lunch bowl) and the flavors were amazing. There’s some crunch with roasted chickpeas and sweetness with dried fruit in the rice. I love Indian food so I can’t wait to try other dishes and the food at the sister restaurant. The service was friendly and very quick!“
“We used SporkBytes to cater our wedding and had fantastic food and great service. We loved sharing food from our favorite restaurants with our guests. The catering staff was excellent and ensured that our wedding ran smoothly. Special thanks to our coordinator, Harrison, who was attentive to our menu changes, flawlessly coordinated our rentals, and worked with our day-of coordinator to match our timelines. We are so happy that we used SporkBytes! They exceeded our expectations and made our day truly special.“
“As the owner of Your Perfect Bridesmaid, a local wedding planning company, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Emily and the Devils Food team on a few weddings this year. Caterers are an essential partner in creating memorable experiences for our couples and their guests and no one does it better than Devils Food. Their service is the living definition of hospitality. Their food is the best I have had. And their service leading up to the wedding is collaborative, thorough, and timely. If you need a caterer, regardless of venue, the Devils Food team will move mountains to give you and your guests the absolute best experience.“
“Auriana, Sam, and the Vibrant Table Catering team at The Loft were excellent! The food was delicious and the VT Catering team was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. Even little questions were quickly answered with clear details. On our wedding day the servers and bartenders were very professional and did an excellent job. Would highly recommend them for your next event!“
“Bellyful catered our wedding in June. The food was excellent!! We didn't get to taste the charcuterie but we heard it was amazing! The only downfall is they didn't take the trash away and our venue wasn't going to take care of the trash so we had to take it.“
“First time here! The cheesecake croissant donut was divine!! The tall, light haired gentleman was friendly, engaging, and spoke highly of your product. He is a credit to your establishment! The young girl who helped me was new but did a great job.“
“Johanna is skilled, kind and a joy to be around and learn from. I took a cooking class from her recently and it was really helpful. I have a ton of food sensitivities and feeding myself can be very overwhelming. Johanna not only offered me a bunch of pracical tips, tricks and recipes, but she also inspired me back into a loving, joyful relationship with my how I feed and nourish my body.“
“Wow. I can't believe I haven't written this review yet. I'm absolutely overwhelmed with the giving and serving people here. Very generous. Very thoughtful. And I'm very appreciative of that. I was on the receiving side. Thank you Elks Lodge for a great Dining In and all you do for veterans on a regular basis.. you make it seem effortless, the things you do for others, but we know it takes special to give and give.And thank you VetRest..VetRest.

“We love the talented team at Crave Catering. They offer such a variety of amazing food and have a wonderful staff to make your event better than you dreamed possible. Your attendees will be talking about the food and the service long after the party is over!“
“Grand Cru absolutely exceeded our expectations from their hospitality, service, and communication. My husband and I got married this past April at Pomarius Nursery in Downtown Portland, OR. They provided so many options for food and drink (including our favorite cider), which we loved to be able to pick what we felt like our guests would enjoy the most and what complemented us as a couple. Everyone at our food absolutely raved about the food, drinks, and appetizers. To our pleasant surprise, the chef at our venue was an old friend from my husbands home town - so that made it even more special that he was the one preparing our meal.“
“Our son's wedding planner recommended this caterer. The wedding was at the Griffin House in Hood River and the staff were amazing! They offer the option for the family to provide the wine and beer and they offered to take it up with them as long as we dropped it off the day before the wedding; there was a small fee, but what a huge relief! The food was amazing and we had plenty for everyone and they packaged the leftovers for the family. Do not hesitate to work with this great catering company!“
“Beautiful, immaculately clean event space with kind and passionate staff! I love getting to host events within this space, and the deli they've just opened next door is NOT TO BE MISSED.We tried several items from there, and every single one was SO good! Their attention to detail carries over into everything they do. Can't wait to be back!“
“Ashley with Pearl catering was amazing to work with. She was prompt with communication. Our wedding tasting was fantastic. Our wedding food was phenomenal and guests are still raving about the food. The champagne chicken and the potatoes au gratin were tasty. The staff and bartender were friendly and helpful. We would recommend Pearl to anyone, and highly recommend working with Ashley!“
“You literally will not find better food in the area. Comes from the heart, from the hands and soul of a true HUMAN BEING!! Thank gourd!! Can't wait to see this superstar get everything she has ever dreamed of. She deserves nothing but ease and care for the rest of her beautiful blessed life. Her sons are true angels which is to be expected from a woman who is heaven-sent! Tell them about it, Erica!!! <3“
“I can't tell you how many times I've eaten here - not a single bad meal. They've recently added carnitas as a meat option, but everything has been consistently great. Tasty toppings, friendly staff, enough choices. I'll continue to frequent this little spot with regularity.“

“Beautiful place. Great food. I didn’t eat all of my salad and asked for a “to go box”. Not only did they bring me a box, they brought me a made salad, with a side of dressing so I could have a fresh salad tomorrow “not soggy left overs.” Such a small act of kindness will leave a mark forever. My family and I will be back, many times.“
“We highly recommend Rockin' Kitchen! Elmer was professional throughout the entire process of booking and planning, and he had a wonderful staff with him on the day-of. Our guests could not stop raving about how great all of the food was! Rockin' Kitchen was affordable, delicious, and a delight to work with!“
“Your Kitchen Chef were so amazing to work with for our wedding! Everything was spot on: great communication, delicious food, and helpful and supportive staff throughout the process. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!“
“We were hosting a few familymembers and ordered food from Zanjabiel. The food and service was amazing. Everyone absolutely loved all the dishes. We are looking forward to ordering again and would highly, highly recommend catering from Zanjabiel-you won’t be disappointed. The food, service and communication was on point!“
