Lauren was very attentive to our needs especially since we had guests who arrived late. The food was delicious and we did have a few picky eaters - she made sure they had options. The veg dishes were as nice as the meat dishes. Everyone enjoyed the food a lot! The crocodile green Thai curry was the best.

Very reliable. In time. Good ideas. Good taste. Ideas , flexible
