Chef Christina and her team were absolutely amazing! They delivered a spectacularly catered meal for our team of 20 during our annual retreat. Their responsiveness and communication was very proactive. They were punctual and such a delight! We will definitely look to contract them again in the future. I wish I got more photos but we were too excited to eat!
