She suggested several menus that included a wide variety of hot and cold Hors D’oeuvres. She was organized and attentive to my needs. The food was delicious and freshly made – it was so good that there was very little left over and everyone commented on how much they enjoyed it. The staff was courteous, professional and a delight to have in my home.
