ENTREES
We love creating a main dish to compliment your style.
Entrees are often done as buffets, stations, or sit-down dinners. Sometimes a combination of plated first course or salad and dinner service on buffet is a good plan. Others prefer plattered or Family Style service with the menu arriving at each table on beautiful white Italian pottery.
​
We're experts at quickly serving large groups in an off premise environment. Choose individually plated preselected dinners, or consider a duet of entrees, perhaps coupling a beef with a chicken or seafood item on the same plate or in courses. The latter is a little easier on the hostess planning, and the guests love it.
