A: Four days notice for new catering orders is appreciated; although, we can sometimes accommodate orders with less notice, depending on a few factors. While 4 days notice is appreciated, please note that orders are taken on a first come, first served basis and are dependent upon availability.
It is very common that certain dates and times often book up days, weeks, and in rare cases, even months in advance, so we recommend that you reach out to confirm availability once you have some initial details available for your event i.e.A: We are available Monday-Friday 9:00am- 4:00pm to take orders over the phone or in person.

As the result of an avalanche of cable tv cooking competition shows today, celebrity chefs and their fine-dining restaurants often receive much of the media buzz. You'd think from watching one of these shows that restaurant staff enjoy endless variety and acclaim.
The truth is that often the work day of a typical restaurant staff member is one of narrowly defined and highly repetitive food preparation tasks, such as cleaning and prepping vegetables.Menus are often altered just a few times per year, so the kitchen staff is making the same entrees over and over.

We had our Christmas Party catered by Relish in mid-December.
I have to compliment them on the service received. From the first conversation with Sarah to the meal was delightful!!
The food was lovely not overcooked and the variety was perfect, seasoning was spot on!
We have had many people cater luncheons for us in the past they are lacking the quality of the food and warmth of the staff provided by Relish Catering. Relish will be the go to for all future needs!!
Be proud of what you've built, you really provide a quality product!!

Amazing first experience with Relish Catering! Sarah was super responsive and helpful from the minute I contacted her about booking our catering. We did the Chicago Combo Buffet for my sons first birthday party. Set up was quick, timely, and explained well. We got so many compliments on the food! Especially the garlic Parmesan potatoes!!! Had tons left over. We are so happy we chose Relish Catering and will definitely use them again!

I attended a bridal shower that served individual salads. We had a choice o 4 different ones, I chose chipoltle chicken....It was good sized, I brought half home. Having it for lunch today and it is still crisp and fresh. Only downfall is there was just a small cup of dressing . For the size of the salads maybe consider using the larger cups for dressing .

We used Relish to cater our 30-person wedding at the recommendation of our wedding coordinator. Though we initially thought we wanted traditional wedding food, after reviewing their menu of options we went with a pancake buffet. It was a huge hit! And for good reason, the pancakes, bacon, sausage, and potatoes were all delicious. They were also able to accommodate a variety of food allergies and requirements. Everything was easy, delicious, and fairly priced. I would definitely recommend them!

From the moment I contacted Crystal she was engaging, professional and friendly. The menu options were great and it covered all items we requested. On the day of the event, David and Stephan arrived on time and took care of everything. These two gentlemen paid attention to details and made our guests feel welcome and taken care of at all times. I am so happy with all the services rendered. The food was delicious, the presentation was spectacular and the china was modern and well designed. David and Stephan were friendly, professional and so engaging with all of our guests, they created an environment

Last night we ordered the individual dinner with candied walnut salad, roasted potatoes and sirloin. It came packed in an easy prepare box with instructions. The beef was very tender, the potatoes were done perfectly and the salad so fresh. Such a treat!. Thanks Relish for making us a happy customer once again. We love you guys from start to finish!

Just last week we hired Relish for a retirement party for one of the founder's of the winery. From first contact to the final set up everything went smooth and was effortless. The pricing was great and the food was beautiful. We wanted to do lots of veggie-centric options and the crew at Relish did a fabulous job.
