“I ordered the salmon panang and my spouse ordered the chicken Yakisoba kee mao with noodles. Salmon was perfect and delicious. Spouse enjoyed the chicken. They serve wines from eleven winery and we tried a bottle of the Ratio Blanco. It complemented the medium spice of our Thai dishes. This time of year the island is less busy. While we liked not waiting for a table, I can tell the locals are out enjoying the sunshine when they could enjoy some amazing Thai food. We will definitely come back.“
“We could not have been served better than by Miranda and Rhonda. Pre-planning and communication was easy. The food was delicious, plentiful, beautifully presented and garnered rave reviews from our guests. The service they provided was terrific, and perfect for our needs. They set up the buffet and came back later to collect their dishes, twice as our timing was off and we had not yet started on the dessert. They were so thoughtful about everything; bringing containers, so we could store the leftovers and guests could take food home. I highly recommend Ambrosia for your event catering.“

“I hired Laura to prepare meals for a knitting retreat near Mount Rainier. She easily created a menu that took into account a variety of dietary restrictions -- no small feat! She and Chef Athena came early on Monday to prepare all the meals and snacks through breakfast Thursday. They helped us with the service for dinner Monday and then left clearly labeled trays with instructions for any of the dishes that needed to be reheated. The food was all incredibly delicious! I especially loved the lemon lavender cake and the Chicken Marbella with olives and prunes. I would not hesitate to hire Honest To Goodness for a future event and wished I lived in Seattle and could take advantage of their regular services.“
“We hired Down to Earth Cuisine for our January micro wedding in Leavenworth. We did a buffet style dinner and every single dish was AMAZING. The owner is so personable and helpful. The first time we talked on the phone was 30+ minutes and he wanted to know about us, what kind of food we liked, where we were from etc. We had chefs Tom and Melissa the day of the wedding and they were so great. They were personable and their food was top notch. I didn’t get to eat the appetizers they had prepared for the rest of our guests because we were taking photos and they packaged some leftovers meticulously and set them aside for us! All our guests had nothing but great things to say about their interactions with them and their meal they prepared for us. This company was so great to work with. I definitely recommend hiring them for your event!“
“I was telling a friend about the incredible caterer we had for our wedding in Summer '22 and realized I'd never left a review. Better late than never. Essence of Thymes deserves this review and more. We'd originally had another caterer lined up and they ghosted us a few months out - never heard back. Worried we'd run out of "thyme" - sorry couldn't help myself! We called Essence and they were lovely, professional and straightforward right from the get go. We had a few family members from California sceptical about the BBQ spread, but that was what our budget allowed, in addition to appetizers. I literally still have friends and family tell us it wasn't just the best wedding food they'd ever had, but it was some of the best BBQ. Folks came up to me at the wedding numerous times to tell me: the food is good?! Simple, delicious, and yet elegant? There were thoughtful touches like garnish, and arrangements were beautiful. Didn't think I'd ever say that about buffet style BBQ. Also the appetizers. Bacon wrapped dates - pretty standard, but these were so good. Everyone loved them. We didn't realize how much it would mean to have our guests really loving the food, and feeling full - not hangry - it just made the vibe merry and fun. Don't underestimate having good food, and a lot of it!! They even saved me a plate seeing I was talking to guests and unable to try any - just so thoughtful. Such great service!!! We didn't expect they'd have such a robust crew, and serve the appetizers?! We'd thought they would place them out for guests to graze. Seriously just an incredible crew. So professional, kind, and efficient, they just did their thing and flowed. They packed up leftovers for us and stored them. If you're like us looking for really good delicious food, and lovely service look no further. Thank you so much Essence of the Thymes. Thank you ?“
“Kaspars provided the food for our family members funeral. The food was amazing, the servers were so very nice and helpful and set everything up and broke everything down at the venue and left us will all the leftovers. Highly recommend them!!“
“We used Crescent Moon for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding dinner, and they made everything so easy (and tasty!) for us. They were super flexible with us when designing our menus and their team was helpful, friendly and professional during the events. I see why they came so highly recommended to us!“
“Grabbed two sweet crêpes to go on a Sunday morning while out for a walk in Magnolia Village. We enjoyed them at the nearby picnic table. The strawberry crêpe was my favorite, tasted amazing! I'd recommended eating them soon after buying bc the warmer they are, the tastier they are.“
“Went today for a quick lunch. I had the Ruben and it was amazing. The meat was stacked so high I could barely get my mouth around it and was enough food for two. I only ate half and gave the other half to a friend. I wish I had taken a picture. The two ladies behind the counter were very helpful in ordering and pleasant to visit with. They do have a table you can eat in at but I recommend grab and go. Don't forget to get dessert.“
“Weddings at the Manor House is a mesh of classic PNW beauty and upscale garden style. The staff is very professional and organized, food is amazing! I am a local wedding planner and the Manor House is one of my favorite island wedding venues. Highly recommend !!“
