Food (quality, flavor, presentation)
Even though it was monkey-brains-insane on the wedding day, we did opt to do the private meal upstairs in the bridal suite. THANK GOD we decided to do this. It was the perfect time for us to take a breath and actually eat, instead of starve while being pulled in all directions downstairs with the guests. The quality of food was good. I thought the appetizers were much better than the entrees, personally. I loved the spanakopita. It was on-point--crispy and fluffy on the outside, warm and cheesy-spinach goodness on the inside. The texture and flavor were awesome. I was also very pleased with the spicy Thai beef on endive. The meat was not chewy and the flavors went well together. The jalapeno cheese was meh. The salmon was a bit dry and bland, but nothing terrible. The salad was wonderful. So much so, in fact, that I heard the guests ran out of the salad pretty early on. I don t think all my guests got to enjoy the beautiful summer salad mixed greens. I also hear we ran out of the bourbon peppercorn flank steak, again disappointing. I don t know if that means it was just too delicious or the portion was just too small. I tried it and thought it was good, but a bit too tough.
We did thoroughly appreciate the to-go baskets that were packed. We devoured it all that same night after midnight...after I was changed and comfortable, haha.
