Food for All Seasons

User Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

I had such a bizarre and unprofessional experience with Food For All Seasons that it is worth writing about. My initial contact with Antoinette was cordial to say the least---she came across as very professional and passionate about her business and love of organic foods. I found her knowledgeable and her menu suggestions for our small wedding (52 guests) were right on the money. We wanted to have a hour of appetizers and drinks followed by a three course dinner for everyone. After a week of conversations on the phone and a volley of emails, we decided on a menu and proceeded to move forward with the contract. She told me she would email me the final menu and contract on a Friday. By the following Wednesday, after still not receiving it, I gave her a call to remind her. She didn't answer that Wednesday, and I called her several times over the course of the next week to inquire about the status of our menu/contract. I left messages every time. The fact that she never returned my call was so bizarre, especially considering that this was a nice dinner---we were shelling out well over $55 per guest. After that week, I searched for another caterer while still being open to working with Food For All Seasons just in case she had a family emergency or something. To this day, I have never received a follow-up---and this dialogue occurred sometime in January--six months ago. Not only is is stressful to plan a dinner out of state (my wife and I live in Los Angeles), but that type of behavior is so unprofessional and rude it still baffles me enough to feel compelled to write this review. Perhaps, like many other catering companies in the area, they went out of business. My wife and I chose Katherine's catering instead and were completely blown away by the personal service, attention to detail, the professional staff and amazing food they provided on our wedding day. For those in attendance, it was the wedding meal of a lifetime---TRULY. It was so great to look around and see nothing but completely clean plates at every table. We received so many compliments about the dinner from our guests, which made us so happy knowing that everybody was satisfied. I cannot thank Katherine's enough for the amazing dinner they provided us and our guests!!!

Antoinette Benjamin and the Food For All Seasons staff catered our wedding in our backyard. Antoinette listened to what we wanted and the meal was superb. We had ordered extra just to have some leftovers. Food For All Seasons made a wedding day complete. Thank you Antoinette.

Antoinette Benjamin, proprietor of Food For All Seasons, puts together incredibly delicious menus. Her dishes are creative, have well-balanced flavors (hint: this means that you can't figure out how to duplicate a yummy recipe) and are stunningly presented. She has a great Valentine's dinner available for carry out and also teaches fun classes at her kitchen. You will not ever be disappointed if you use this very high quality but very affordable company.
