With their excellent food, comforting decor and friendly service, Alex and Tara have allowed me to entertain with higher quality and lower stress than I could imagine. I work with them twice a month, and they have noticeably improved my quality of life. WILD PLUM was the talk of the event! Our clients, staff, reps are still talking about it today.
We agree that food is the most important presence at an event and have taken pride in selecting caterers over the last decade and you've put them all to shame. We can see and taste the quality & care in all of it. We absolutely love Wild Plum! It's all in the details, and they don't miss one. With an assortment of unique combinations and traditional fare, your senses will be indulged.

We hired Wild Plum Events to cater our wedding and I highly recommend them! First, Tara was very helpful when making decisions for our menu, she gave me great advice and definitely helped me throughout the process. She made points that I wouldn't have thought of or considered. The food was amazing! Seriously. We received compliments all night long and had several guests ask for their information. Wild Plum Events also accommodated special diets. They provided us with some vegan meals (one was mine), and it was hands down the best vegan food I've had in Boise. The food is so good, that I plan to

One of the best meals I've ever had! We went here for out anniversary and were a bit skeptical at first because we've had a bad experience with a small 4 course restaurant before. We were recommended to come here by my fiances parents so we figured we would try it. Totally glad we did. The food was extremely well priced for the quality and it was delicious. I will definitely be returning and recommending for everyone who asks.

WOW.
The service and food was exceptional. I will definitely be back. I still can't get over the flavors in the carrot coconut ginger soup. The bahn mi was a delicious flavor experience (although I don't know that I would consider it a bahn mi). Just thinking about the sandwich makes me want to go back even though I just ate here for lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed the staff, and am excited to try the rest of the menu! I will be back!

Chef Alex Cardoza and Tara Morgan, owners of a catering business called Wild Plum Events, opened Luncheonette on the Boise Bench last summer. Located at 1621 North Orchard St., open Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 3 PM, Luncheonette offers a small menu of cold and hot items that includes Vegan options. Currently, there is no dine-in, but you can order online, do pick up or delivery. There is plenty of free parking behind the building and they will bring your order out to your car.

So great. Always enjoy their food, but have to give a shoutout to their greenhouse dinner. Had family visiting after having been apart for over a year. Wanted to have a great meal, but at a place being cautious during the pandemic. It exceeded all expectations with a delicious, generous family style meal. Kudos to everyone there. You're doing a great job and we'll be recommending your craft to everyone.

This is the best place in town. Their food is excellent, beautifully prepared. I discovered them when they had started putting together local favorites baskets, and more recently went to a greenhouse dinner which was everything we’d hoped for. The ambiance was amazing, the multi course meal hit every note.

This husband and wife team have created a new Boise mainstay. Chef Alex Cardoza and creative director Tara Morgan pivoted quickly when Covid hit, providing home deliveries and local-goods baskets that got many of us through the early days of the pandemic. In addition to catering and events, they have set up a weekday luncheonette serving mainstay seasonal comfort foods with Alex’s twists. If it is a housemade meat, eat it. Our new favorite lunch spot for socially distant foods.

We hosted my sister's law school graduation party at the Wild Plum Events location. We had 34 people (max is 35) everyone fit perfectly with space to mingle and enjoy the welcoming environment. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Never once did I think oh I need to ask for this, they had already refilled my glass or brought another plate of brisket before I needed to request it. We had such a wonderful time and the food could not have been better. I would recommend anyone needing catering service or a spot to host a party chose Wild Plum Events.

Amazing Civeche Pop Up event! Rock fish and scallops with cherries was delish and so was the guacamole but my favorite was the shrimp with jalapeno peppers. Cool, fresh, heavenly seafood, cold Mexican beers, and a wading pool for kids or just to dip your feet in. This was such fun event, perfect for dinner bites on a hot summer day. I hope Wild Plum hosts more of these events this summer.

Wow, They are awesome! My husband and I came in for their tasting event because you never know when you will need catering. They let us try all of their main courses, side dishes, and even prepared a delicious dulce de leche panna cotta (mouth-watering right now just thinking about it). But truly, everything they served was very very good. It has been a week since we visited, and I can say the most memorable dishes were their vegetarian ones! My favorite was the cauliflower mac n' cheese, and a close second was the fresh snap peas, asparagus, and turnips. So simple, but because the veggies

Had a catered birthday dinner last night at the Wild Plum site, 1621 N Orchard St, Food was better than any restaurant food I've had recently, and the price was right! Many appetizers including miniature fingerling potatoes filled with sour cream and topped with bacon: miniature baked potatoes. And saffron eggs topped with rose petals. The service was way over the top! Appetizers just kept coming. My wine glass was never empty. Restaurants should take lessons from these attentive servers! And so friendly!
The main courses were delicious! Perfectly cooked steelhead - lightly charred

Wild Plum Events and Eats catered our wedding at Telaya Wine Co. Alex and Tara were so awesome to work with, they were always quick to respond when we had questions and even had suggestions for us that worked out great! We had an antipasti platter during our cocktail hour before the ceremony that was a big hit with guests and was beautifully displayed. For dinner there was a buffet of beef bourguignon, baked steelhead, creamy polenta, braised carrots and a chopped salad with summer vegetables. We loved all the food and our guests kept raving about it for days! To top it all off, they made us a
