Luau Event

We had a Luau event and can say how wonderful they were to work with.
The servicing & bar staff was amazing.
The food and Bat items we picked on their Luau menu was delicious and everything they said they would do they did.
Plan on using them again for our event in the future

Amazing Food

Carlos and Doug did an amazing job at setting up and serving. They both worked so hard and were so friendly with the guests. My, person of contact, Eric was not as friendly or helpful. He made me feel that I did not spend enough money for him to even take the time to introduce himself to us. we almost went to another caterer because of him. Glad we didn't, the food was over the top. I cannot say enough about how Carlos and Robert took care of everything and everyone!!
