PARDINI'S CATERING REVIEWS

I was here for a luncheon/reception. In my opinion, it’s a great place to hold a class reunion, a wedding reception, or any other type of event along those lines. The food was excellent! The wait staff was polite and professional. They have a lovely lounge that looks like it might be a fun place to hang out on a Friday or a Saturday night. I’m not sure if they have a “happy hour,“ or not, but I think I may give it a try with friends soon.

Had a very good experience at an after funeral reception with a large attendance that filled the hall. Buffett style meal was excellent and the dessert options were excellent too. Staff was attentive at picking up plates after empty and did a very good job.

We had our company party here. It was great! The staff was moving constantly. The food was amazing. The space was big enough to accommodate our large party. Would definitely recommend.

THE PAINTED TABLE REVIEWS

We have worked with Vanessa from the Painted Table for about 2.5 years now. Every event has been executed perfectly thanks to Vanessa's professionalism and communication. I truly appreciate how hard the team works to ensure the events are executed to my standards. I never have to stress or worry because I know Vanessa always understands my vision and the food and decor will be spot on. We always receive the highest compliment on food quality and presentation. I am happy to be supporting this local business who strives to provide the best customer service time after time.

Vanessa was super helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process, especially on a deadline. She realized my vision better than I could've. The food -- tri-tip, couscous with eggplant, and summer salad -- was excellent and so was the service day-of, from wait staff to bartender. So glad we went with The Painted Table.

Choosing The Painted Table to cater my wedding was such a blessing! Augie was very responsive and fun to work with. I truly felt as though The Painted Table didn't just want to cater my wedding, but provide a full service experience. Every single one of my wedding guests LOVED the food!!! I highly recommend The Painted Table, and will continue to do business with them for future events.

NOR-BQ REVIEWS

We had a gathering of 53 friends and family on March 1st, 2025. William and Vidal were very nice and did whatever they could to make our event go smoothly. William kept in contact with us from day one to make things run smoothly. Always available to answer questions and work with us on any last-minute changes. I would 100% Recommend NORBQ to anyone. By the way, the food was amazing. All of our guests raved about the great flavor and how fast and fresh the Teppanyaki was. Thank you so much William for all that you and Vidal did to make our gathering go smoothly.

This past Sunday Nor-BQ came out for my bonus dad's 60th Birthday!! There are absolutely no regrets. William set up everything fast, very friendly and outgoing. The steak and chicken was very flavorful and cooked just how we like it! We had more than enough food (Party of 16) & William let us taste the sauces that he had before hand! WARNING: He has some HOT STUFF! He also shaped veggies/meats in "60!" On the grill for my dad! I'll definitely recommend and contact them in the future! Thank you.

Nor-BQ did an awesome job at my son’s birthday party! We needed the entire meal to be gluten free because he has celiac, and they were super accommodating. I provided a few safe sauces from home, and they worked with us to make sure everything was safe and delicious. The food was great and the kids had a blast—such a fun experience.
