Catering

We have worked with the ESR catering team for years and have thrown some amazing parties together. Their staff are kindhearted, fun, and provide exceptional service to our guests. A typical event for us is a celebration at one of our construction sites, which can be raw and have limited amenities, and the ESR team always delivers a restaurant like experience with food that is the heart of the party.

Our small non-profit board wanted a private reception for about 25 guests, to honor our retiring director. We wanted a casual but upscale event with heavy hors d’oeuvres and open bar. After interviewing quite a few caterers, there were only a couple who stood out in creativity, quality and experience. We selected ESR Catering because they quickly understood the event we wanted to create. They had a selection of food and beverages that was diverse and flexible around our guests’ preferences and our budget, they had experienced catering staff to oversee and service the event, and they had an outstanding reputation for quality and class.

We were delighted with our event! Communication with Phia was great and we felt planning was made much easier by her experience in event management, with advice on everything from food selection to room arrangement. The catering team for event itself was amazing. I was impressed by their warmth, professionalism and their phenomenal attention to guests’ needs - always a step ahead in anticipating more food or drink, or any other assistance throughout the evening. The food was incredible, with the creativity and quality for which all ESR establishments are known. ESR also offered to provide some specialty cocktails which we could name, to the amusement and enjoyment of our guests. The wine menu selection was large enough to be interesting but not overwhelming, and we were able to get some very nice pairings for our food choices. The event went smoothly with the catering team seamlessly doing the set up, food prep, serving and clean up while we barely noticed. We were able to completely relax and enjoy the event as the ESR Catering team took care of everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.

Working with ESR and their teams on special events, private dining options and catered affairs is easy and straightforward. They are great partners in creating memorable experiences for our guests and focus on all the right things: beautiful tablescapes, delicious food and a comfortable guest experience. They are very quick to respond in the planning process, solving problems quickly and advising on all aspects of event planning.

Working with Ethan, Sam, Phia and the rest of the team was a dream. They are actively redefining what catered food can look/taste like (hint: it’s outstanding) and add thoughtful touches from beginning to end of the event planning journey. They thought of everything, even small details we didn’t notice we needed until after the event. I refuse to use anyone else at this point, they are that good. Cannot recommend them enough!!
