Holiday Catering: spent $531 on catering for a family of 11 for Christmas because I was unable to cook this year. The pick-up process in the Springlake/Wall store was excellent, the food was hit or miss. Well worth the cost, both on taste and value, were the Shrimp Trio Platter, Vegan en Croute entree, Garlic Fingerlings, and the Chimichurri sauce. Not worth the Cost were the Antipast Platter (not as robust as pictured) it looked like someone made a tray from someone else's leftovers, The Grilled Veggie Platter, nothing was grilled enough so if you are serving this platter cold or room temp, you have unpleasant hard red onion that all gets tossed, Vegan "meat"balls, Green Bean casserole was terrible and got tossed out, almost in it's entirety, Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Mac and Cheese were meh, Asparagus reheated terribly and the Brown Sugar Citrus Spiral Ham, while delicious, had more than one central bone, it was IMPOSSIBLE to carve so we literally had a tray of Ham "schards" to serve. It will make great soup, but was embarrassing to serve. That was the biggest disappointment. I have never seen that in my 5 years of serving a spiral ham for Christmas. I will say the Turkey I ordered for Thanksgiving from the Marlboro, NJ store was the best turkey I have ever eaten, so I was hopeful for Christmas catering. I am a professionally trained chef so consider that when reading this review. But, I do maintain that the service in store and time that was saved were still probably worth it, the food was just largely underwhelming.
