Services
We like to exceed expectations. We'll deliver the event you want, with a thoughtful, responsive approach from beginning to end, and a commitment to impeccable service. After graduating college and working a series of uninspiring jobs, Lisbet Halverson found herself faced with the realization that her road to happiness was headed to the kitchen.
Big or small, traditional or modern, formal or casual-whatever the size, style, or occasion, it's worth celebrating. Let's make the most of your event, together. A Ravishing Radish event promises great food, an artful presentation, and professional service. Whether you're doing an executive dinner or throwing an engagement party, we'll plan a custom menu just for you with a fresh, modern style that guests will love.
We realize not everyone dreams about pink-hued river salt and pear varietals. But we do. Let us set the scene. We're inclined toward the artisanal, the cider-brined, the thick-cut, and fresh deep greens. We're partial to vanilla cream and simple pastry. And we don't stop there-we marry each element together to create a menu that's spectacular from hors d'oeuvre to dessert.
Chef JoAnna Cruz and our culinary team will customize a menu especially for your taste, style, and budget. At our seasonal Ravishing Radish tasting parties, we welcome you to sample some of our most popular menu offerings. It's a nice way to see us in action, meet our team, try our cuisine, ask questions, and meet some of our favorite vendors, too.

What a great experience! We did pandemic style curbside pickup tasting menu and knew we'd found "the one!" Everyone we talked with during planning was great and super helpful, they worked with us to get the menu we wanted, and everything went perfectly on our big day! Didn't have my phone with me, so no pictures, but so good! Yummy short rib, salmon, chicken skewers, roasted vegetables....
We even had some people say they didn't know it was possible to hav egood wedding food until ours! yay!

Ravishing Radish did an incredible job of catering our wedding - we were blown away by the entire experience of working with them. I can not speak highly enough about their service, culinary creativity, and of course the truly delicious food. As a plant-based couple, we wanted a fully vegan wedding menu but that since most of our guests wouldn't be vegan, we needed something that everyone would be happy to eat. We also have a number of favorite menu items from our own home cooking that we really wanted to have represented somehow in the menu. Oh, and throw in we had one severe peanut allergy

We had a great experience working with Ravishing Radish! All of the planners- Jana and Vickie were helpful, organized, and professional. Signature cocktails during happy hour were enjoyed by all our guests and we all loved the appetizers and family style dinner. Would definitely recommend Ravishing Radish for any of your events.

I love this place for their outstanding customer service, great food and wonderful staff. Please, do not listen or waste your time reading Ahmad G.'s review. There was not a single person in that place being rude and racist towards him. No one in that place knows how to be racist. Ban Ahmad G. from your establishment.

We had a very frustrating and disappointing experience with Ravishing Radish.
We really enjoyed our takeout tasting with them, but communication and organization was just a mess. Trying to coordinate with RR Catering was the most stressful part of our wedding planning, and I spoke several times to the owner Lisbet, expressing my concerns. It would sometimes take 2 weeks to get a response on a question. Invoices were incorrect, questions would not be answered, and we overall got the sense that they were just scattered and too busy to deal with us. I asked if they were just really busy right now

Ravishing Radish Catering has been used for some of the events I've attended as part of Woodland Park Zoo's Network for Nature member. The food and drinks are always the talk of the town, er, the event whenever Ravishing Radish Catering has catered.
The variety of food is always solid, as there's enough for people to choose from, no matter their dietary restrictions. At one event, they served different flatbreads, fresh fruit, artisan cheeses, nuts, etc. It's finder food, which is easy to eat, especially when attending an event and walking around to mingle. Plus, the staff

I went to a tasting down in Seattle last night to see if we wanted to pursue Ravishing Radish as our Catering Vendor for our October Wedding up in Snohomish.
When I walked in every host was friendly and greeted me warmly. The space they chose to host their tasting was large and spacious, minimally yet tastefully decorated.
The staff were absolutely impressive. They were kind yet subtle. You barely noticed them shifting in and out to clear dishes or serve additional food.
I was also impressed with just how organized and attention to detail they were. Barely any plates were left behind from

RR was great! We received SO many compliments on the food - especially the mashed potatoes and the braised short ribs. We love to support female owned & operated businesses. The service on the night of the event was perfect; the staff was friendly but also discreet. We would absolutely hire them again for a special event!

I would love to be able to give this amazing team more than 5 stars!
As a local Wedding Planning company, we work with so many different catering companies, and Ravishing Radish is a fave hands down!!!
Not only is everyone here super friendly, professional, sweet and fun, but their food AND level of service is unmatched. I know that our clients, AND all of their guests will be well taken care of from start to finish! I have seen first hand in so many instances, how they go above and beyond their own tasks on the wedding day to help others out, solve any problems, etc.

If I could give Ravishing Radish more than 5 stars, I would. Our first experience with RR was as a wedding guest right after we got engaged.
As soon as we tasted the food, I grabbed one of the waiters (sorry, dude) to ask him where he worked, and we booked them the very next weekend. Right from the beginning, they were sooo easy to work with. They were patient with my type A personality and worked around all our dietary needs, even whipping up dino chicken nuggets for all the little ones at our wedding. We worked with Jesse, who was amazing and took all of the stress out of planning. I&apos

I hired Ravishing Radish to cater my wedding this past August at Thornewood Castle. I have severe Celiac Disease (no gluten), as well as allergies to dairy, eggs, corn, soy, seasame, quinoa, and coffee, so I was having a really hard time finding a caterer who could make delicious food that I could eat, and that my guests would enjoy. Ravishing Radish did a spectacular job of creating tray passed hors d'oeuvres and an amazing dinner spread that was all GF, dairy free, egg free, and all my allergies free. We had pork skewers, balsamic vinegar fruit skewers, a walnut and stone fruit salad, fingerling

Ravishing Radish (RR) catered our September wedding and while we were excited to work with them they didn't knock it out of the park for us. Good food and service is important to us which is why we were willing to commit a significant portion of our wedding budget to them. However, for the price we paid we had a very mixed experience. Here are some of the things we experienced:
Bar Service: Our wedding was at a venue that allowed us to provide our own alcohol so we contracted RR for the bar tending service. We made it very clear that we did not want alcohol served pre-ceremony. We had a

RR catered our wedding and we can't be happier with how the entire experience went. We worked with Lindsay in the months before the event, she was super easy to communicate with and handled our last minute changes with grace.
The day of the event RR showed up and quickly got to work putting the food together. We were amazed at how great the food smelled before the ceremony even started!
We decided on a variety of small plates and apps and everything was great. Rave reviews for the meat skewers and mushroom risotto cakes among all the great food.

We loved Ravishing Radish! They catered our wedding in September. I can't say enough good things about Annalee, she was so wonderful and accommodating. We had some last minute guest additions with dietary restrictions (sigh. thanks fam.), and Annalee worked with the chef to make last minute adjustments--which she did not need to do. She was responsive, professional, and thought of every little detail that we failed to think of.
Our guests really loved all the food the day of the wedding. The braised beef short ribs were tender, a true feat when serving 150 people. The mac and cheese was

One of our top priorities for our wedding was delicious food. We wanted a stand out cocktail hour and a family style dinner and Ravishing Radish knocked it out of the park. All of our guests kept coming up to us to tell us how amazing the food was throughout the whole night. A few of our favorite items: grilled cheese & tomato soup shooters, fried chicken & waffle canape, potstickers and the short ribs entree.
I should also mention my husband and I were tough customers - we were planning from out of town, we were extremely particular with the menu, the flow of the entire night and especially

Ravishing Radish did a knock out job for my son's 85 person wedding rehearsal dinner at 415 Westlake. We were able to attend a group tasting 4 months before our event and hand pick our menu items from their very extensive offerings. Each of the representatives I work with was very professional, prompt, and clear in our communication which was done primarily by email. Their linens were beautiful and service ware was beautiful as well. Their team was very prompt with delivery and set up as we were working with an 8 hour time frame. The serving staff present for the actual event was efficient

I got married in June 2016 and my husband and I went with Ravishing Radish for our catering needs. Similar to the other reviews, Vickie was the initial contact, and once we signed with them, Hilary took over and was the catering coordinator. We had one meeting prior to the wedding to discuss details and preferences. When we had a question or a revision to our menu, Hilary was very prompt in her response time. Day of the wedding, the staff was very professional, and the food was EXCELLENT!!! We got so many compliments on the tastiness of the food. Our menu included braised oregon country short ribs

I was able to try their catering for a friend's wedding--it was really good! We had the below:
Salad: Nice and light
Salmon: Out of everything, this was what I liked least. Maybe it had too American of a flavor? It was a bit dry.
Beef: This was outstanding, so tasty, moist, and delicious!
Carrots: Perfectly paired
Bread pudding: I'm not supposed to eat gluten buuut I love bread pudding and even moreso when it's savory. I think it had onion chunks in it but it just added to the texture and did not overpower the flavor of the bread. How did they do that!?? I loved this even more than
