Maitre’ D Catering

So AFTER we paid our first deposit he was less responsive. It isn’t that he never responded but that he took much longer to respond. It got so bad at one point I called the venue to make sure he wasn’t jerking me around.
The food was good. For what I paid we enjoyed the food. In my opinion it is perfectly acceptable food for a party you are throwing for tons of people. Nobody went out of their way to compliment us on how good the food was BUT when we asked if it was ok people said yes. My mom referred to the beef as «scrumptious». I think the beef was the best.
I got him down to like $ 17.50/person but could be less than 100 people. No cake, no hors d’oeuvres, plastic table cloths and utensils, etc. You can get extras though got a little more.
The biggest complaint I would say is that I went over the schedule with him the night before (and emailed it to him a week earlier) and he wasn’t even at the event. So on the schedule me and my husband were to be served after the toast (it was buffet though). They were nowhere to be found. We just went up and got it ourselves… A little annoying but not a big deal. One woman said «we were gonna serve you». I wanted to explain we didn’t have all day but I let it go. Also in regards to the schedule, they didn’t have the bar open in time so guests got frustrated waiting in LINE while they opened! That pissed me off but owell.
I would say if you can deal with having to wait awhile for his responses and can deal with decent food his prices are great and he is real sweet about working within your budget (within reason).
I would just advise to request the person who will actually be there also be present when you go over the schedule.
All in all if you are looking for a decent meal on a super tight budget this may work out for you!
