Customer Review

See what our clients say about our catering services and food.

Grassroots surpassed every expectation—including those of six discerning adults, two toddlers, and one notoriously hard-to-please tween.

Chef Brendan took the time to understand our culinary preferences and budget, then crafted a beautiful Italian-themed birthday dinner that hit every mark. The meal featured from-scratch lasagna, a vibrant caprese appetizer, freshly baked focaccia, and a crisp side salad. Everything was absolutely delicious.

We were especially impressed with the generous portions—so much so that two members of our party actually argued over who got to claim the leftover lasagna for breakfast!

Highly recommend Grassroots without hesitation. We’ll absolutely be booking them again for our next event in a few months.
