René catered two amazing events for us this past weekend: a beautifully appointed and intimate family dinner on Friday night, and a truly glorious luncheon for 180 people on Saturday.

Our pictures do not do the flavors justice nor the amount of enjoyment we all had having Rene Leon privately cater our party. We had several appetizers and entrees from fish, chicken, pork, several vegetable sides and salads! From start to finish including clean up we highly recommend

Rene handled all our catering needs for our kids' B'nei Mitzvah at Bet Torah. He did our Friday night dinner for 25+ people, congregational kiddish for over 150 people and a seated luncheon for 100 guests. From menu planning, to accommodating last minute changes to our seating and serving arrangements, he was a pleasure to deal with. All of the food was delicious. And the service provided by his staff was impeccable. I highly recommend him for your catering needs!
