“What can I say, your food is fantastic, the service impeccable and it was a pleasure working with Chef John as we developed a “Crazy” menu – at least 30 items for a crowd of 75 people from dinner to late night. The two bartenders were awesome. I can’t thank you enough except to say, I’ll tell everyone I know and I look forward to our next party at my house.”

“We had a 10 year anniversary dinner for our original staff with 30 people and instead of taking them out to dinner, Chef John and Chef Debbie catered our event at our home. It was a wonderful intimate dinner with appetizers, a main entrée and dessert.. They cooked, served and did all the clean up. Our staff are still talking about the wonderful food and relaxing atmosphere they had. Much better than at a restaurant.”
