We were referred to the Spot Gourmet to cater our wedding last weekend and they did not disappoint. We decided on a Cal-Spanish theme and the food was absolutely delicious. They began the cocktail hour with passed appetizers of herbed pork and beef meatballs in a chimichurri sauce, cumin spiced french fries served in a paper cone with a roasted tomato aioli, and shrimp fritters.I was apprehensive about how the fries would turn out, but, like the pros that they are, it was fried on "the spot" so it was completely fresh! Seriously, everyone at the cocktail hour was talking about the food. They then passed around small cups of crab bisque just before dinner that was velvety and rich. Can I say scrumptious?
The dinner menu achieved an even higher note of praise:
Mixed baby greens and endive salad with caramalized pears, manchego cheese, candied pecans in a walnut vinaigrette, Pesto crusted salmon with a lemon creme sauce, slow roasted tri-tip with a pomegranate rioja sauce, paella, scalloped potatoes and sauteed baby vegetables.
Everything was AMAZING! I cannot even describe the moments of bliss that we had eating (and yes, we sat down and ate!). The food is well seasoned, which translates into BIG flavor. This is food with soul. Several people came up to us throughout the evening to tell us that it was the best food at any wedding they ever had! And we've all been to weddings with bland chicken and uninspired beef to know that you should spend your money where it counts, and that is the Spot Gourmet....and some top shelf booze!
On top of it all, they were so professional and kind. Their catering manager, Leroy, was a gem. He timed everything and guaged the evening perfectly so that everything ran smoothly. The bartenders and servers were also equally professional and did an excellent job.
Now, I have to think of a reason just to get them back so I can have more of their delicious food!
Pros: professional staff, amazing food
