I have just had the great pleasure of using A Thyme For All Seasons for our company holiday luncheon last week and Oh My Goodness - they surpassed all of my picky expectations! I always want everything perfect and they did that and then some.
First of all ... their food was beyond amazing - we wanted a holiday lunch that was outside the box per say - something that was still "holiday-like" but not the standard turkey and ham... We were served the most delicious pork tenderloin with an out of this world Merlot sauce as well as an apple walnut chicken that was so tender, juicy and delicious. Other items included a delicious sweet potato roasted hash, the best green beans almondine I have ever had (it went beyond the normal green beans and slivered almonds - it was fresh green beans cooked & seasoned perfectly and they included roasted/carmelized onions & garlic - mmmmmm!). We also had delicious shrimp crab cakes with a garlic aioli sauce, a fresh holiday salad and an orzo salad with cranberries and walnuts. At each table they placed a delicious appetizer tray with cheese, crackers, antipasti and homemade chips and salsa - a very nice touch.
I could go on all day about the desserts! We had mini cake pops that were almost too pretty to eat (key word is almost!), mini pumpkin pies, peppermint bark and coconut macaroons. These were all homemade and super-delicious!
They decorated the room beautifully and to have real plates / napkins / silverware was a very nice touch.
What I appreciated the most was the service - speaking with the chef on site personally the day of the event and at the interview shows how much he cares about his clients and his food. He was extremely friendly and professional and his entire staff was exactly the same way - friendly perfection from my first initial phone call to the cleanup afterward. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
If you want a catering company that serves excellent food, provides topnotch service and doesn't take you to the cleaners - please trust me and just call A Thyme For All Seasons - and don't go through calling and researching eight different companies first like I did - you will not be disappointed! I am looking forward to trying their restaurant in the near future to try their other delicious creations!
