Chef & I Catering

The Chef & I catered the Veteran's Appreciation Lunch that my husband and I attended today. The food provided by The Chef & I was excellent. The meat was moist, the potatoes and green beans were cooked to perfection, and the salad and desserts were very fresh. I would definitely recommend The Chef and I to cater your next event so that you can experience the high quality food that they provide.

Not successful at accommodation allergens. They told a gluten sensitive person at our wedding that all of the pasta was gluten-free when it wasn't, which could have literally killed two celiacs at the wedding. Their vegan supplied dish was not a sufficient meal and the guest had to basically bend over backward to finally have it brought to her. For their most expensive station style event with all of the upgrades we expected better attention to detail and white glove service, not for people at a pasta bar to be trained how to cook directly in front of the bride. Bare minimum is not causing serious allergen reactions to by guests, and even after meeting with them in person, multiple calls, and filling out all their forms, they were unable to accomplish what I told them was my top priority. And even after extensive apologies from the venue the caterer has not bothered to reach out. If you choose to use Chef & I, I would recommend waiting to give their automated 20% which for us was almost 2k (which is unclear whether goes to the proprietor or the actual minimum wage employees) until after you experience their service. At no point was interacting with this caterer easy, they felt incompetent and rushed through our tasting like we were on a factory line worrying about who was next or who was before us. It didn't have the attention to detail and care that every other vendor associated with Lingrow Farm did. They were very happy to say no or argue about every accommodation we asked for, even though we paid for nearly every upgrade we could. They can cook, but their customer service made me wish we had chosen National Public House instead. The wedding vendors we interacted with at every stage from our photographer, to the venue, to wedding dress shops all made you feel cared for and special even though they see hundreds of clients a season. The Chef and I made us feel like we were a burden to ask simple things that I think should easily be baseline for any business serving people food. Let alone any other requests they rejected, like making signs to indicate allergens on their stations, serving five of our guests the non-alcoholic cider we'd supplied, or supplying the one vegan guest with a meal that had plant-based protein. Their mantra was "No sorry we don't do that". I'd expect that from a McDonalds, not a luxury catering business being paid multiple tens of thousands of dollars.

Delicious food and friendly staff!

Delicious food. Great Staff. Beautiful linens. Everything was wonderful. They worked with us to fit our budget as well. The wedding turned out wonderful! Thank you Chef and I catering!

Amazing food and great staff. They were hired for my wedding and my guests are still raving about the food stations. They were very professional and helped guide me through the details thoroughly. Thank you for a delicious day!!!

Food was outstanding for our wedding! Staff was so nice and professional. Everyone enjoyed their dinners and we were excited to have some left overs! Thank you again for everything.

They catered my moms funeral lunch. And honestly it was absolutely amazing. From start to finish. The food everyone loved my mom would of loved it also. I highly recommend I wish I knew about them years ago.

we used them for a funeral luncheon. The food was outstanding!

Our wedding was in October and was amazing. The Chef and I helped make it happen. People are still talking about how fantastic the food was. They were very reasonable and you definitely get a lot of food for what you’re paying for. We loved how wonderful the staff was and how easy they were to work with. Nikki was very good at getting back in touch with me whenever I asked her a question about anything. The tasting room was so clean and beautiful that we knew right then that they were the right people for us. During our wedding the staff was wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious. From appetizers to the main entrees, everything was amazing! The only thing I wish was different was that they had two buffet lines instead of one. Especially, for the amount of people we had. It would’ve made dinner go a lot quicker. But if you’re looking for an amazing wedding caterer, you need to hire The Chef & I!! You will not be disappointed!

The Chef & I catered our wedding and it was one of the most complimented parts of our whole day! The food was equally as good as it was during the tasting, not to mention it was actually HOT when served to our guests. Everyone loved the stuffed chicken and the rolled sirloin that we chose, and they also raved about the roasted red potatoes!We recommend them a million times over to cater your event!

A very easy company to work with. Taste-testing went off without a hitch, and more importantly, the food at our event was even better. We were particularly impressed by the green beans, which were fresh and crisp, not like the wilted vegetables you all but expect at most catered events. Additionally, the Chef and I staff were commendable for their friendliness and professionalism. All in all, we highly recommend Chef and I for a professional and tasty experience!

Great people great food

Great food.

Amazingly delicious!!!We used Chef and I catering for our sons graduation party at our home. The food was delicious, the ladies that came to set-up and serve did and absolutely outstanding job. The ease of a scheduling and picking the menu could not have been easier. Several guest send compliments to the chef on the food. Highly recommend. Outstanding service!

We used this caterer for our wedding and the food was AMAZING - so many of our guests commented on how good it was! They were easy to work with and very helpful. Apparently there were a couple of hiccups but we would have had no idea if it weren't for staff coming up to us at the end of the night. They were so apologetic and felt so bad - like I said, we had no clue! And the hiccups weren't even their fault! I would 100% use this caterer again and recommend to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator!
