I ordered the holiday feast for an office lunch party of 50 plus ~10 custom lunch boxes and everything turned out fantastic. They worked with our budget and packed everything efficiently and easy to serve.

  Let me tell you a story:

Yesterday, I hosted a potluck at my company. Various employees signed up to bring enough items to feed 45 people. Well, not all... read more of them were able to. Various reasons interfered with their schedules and we just didn't have enough food to serve everyone.

Last minute. What do I do? I phone Gourmet Island Bistro almost in a panic and tell them my dihlemma. They suggested their garden salad and pasta salads to compliment the food I already had on hand.

Me? I was trying to make sure everyone had enough food and salad was right on the money. I placed my order site unseen. (You can do that when you are calling an establishment that has aways come through for you). I had never had their large pasta and side salads before.

Oh My God! Lets just say that I filled up on that delectable pasta salad. Now I've had pasta salads before and to be honest, I'm not a fan. But this salad was waaay over the top delicious. The olives were the star of the show. Plump and flavorful cuts of olives with the rest of the seasonings and pasta cooked to the perfect consistency. When I say perfect consistency, I'm talking firm but soft not firm, hard and undercooked.

The garden salad was another salad that was over the top. Various types of plump cherry tomatoes or red, yellow and purple with fresh slices of cucumber and onions and romaine lettuce. I didn't eat any because I was hooked on the pasta salad. But it sure was pretty and my team loved it.

As good as the salads were, it was the fact that they did not pull the whole 24 hour notice for a large specialty salad thing I hear so often from retaurants that cater. The fact that they knew I had a need and were there to help. I didn't ask for salad, they heard my problem and fixed it with salad.

Now that's service. Thanks Guys.
