Full Service:
We offer a different approach to the traditional buffet. We believe that buffets should be a social, relaxed experience, not a rushed or regimented one. Instead of ushering guests through in a strict, one-table-at-a-time manner, we focus on creating an inviting, mingling atmosphere where people can enjoy the food and connect with each other at their own pace. We keep the buffet open for several hours, allowing guests to come back and sample different dishes as they chat and move around. We replenish the buffet in stages, ensuring there's always a fresh variety and the food stays appealing throughout the event. It's all about offering a laid-back vibe where guests feel comfortable and well-fed, with no pressure to hurry through the meal.
We understand that every event is unique, so we tailor our services to fit the vibe you're going for. We offer family-style service and plated, intimate dinner parties. We offer an elevated, customized dining experience that feels exclusive and special. Our more casual soups, stews, chilis, paellas and taco bars will leave even the largest groups feeling satisfied and well fed.
Partial Buffet Catering;
Are you looking to entertain, but have a smaller group or just don’t need full service? Consider having us drop off, design, and set up your fully compostable spread. Our base package starts at $25 per person. This includes (in light appetizer portions) artisan cheeses, charcuteries, meats, dips, house made pickles, olives, nuts, seasonal crudité + fruit, florals and greenery to compliment your theme or vision. You may select additional small bites from our menu below a la carte, priced per order.
Delivery and set up is $375 for up to 50 guests.. Every additional 40 guests requires an additional set up chef at a rate of $200 per chef. This includes artistic table design, greenery and florals. The end result is a spectacular buffet with easy cleanup. Set up generally takes approx. 90-120 minutes.
$1500.00 minimum.
