Best caterer in Portland handsdown. The food is amazing, fresh and tasty! I maybe a little biased because as I used to work for caib, but regardless, If you want a warm, humble and professional experience this is your next caterer. They really strive to ensure you have the best event and excellent food from the moment you meet them. Great company! I highly recommend them for any type of event!

I keep attending events where the planners have selected Catering At Its Best for their functions and it absolutely appalls me. There are so many better caterers in Portland. Sure their staff is friendly, and they are reliable (hence the second star) but the food is a.w.f.u.l. awful! I'll admit, I too used them a couple years ago, they came highly recommended (by the same people that keep using them). I ordered the 'must try' Eggs Benedict. Horrible. I broke two of their plastic knives trying to cut through the rock hard and stale English Muffin. Their coffee is run of the mill, which baffles me in this town. This past week their services were utilized for a lunch and they provided a Caesar Salad, which I swear the dressing was flavored mayonnaise. YUCK! We had a 'seafood' pasta, with overcooked spaghetti noodles, bay shrimp, some sort of mussel (I think) and a very watery, salty sauce. We also receive some odd (certainly not freshly baked) focaccia bread. Perhaps it was the person who ordered that was responsible, but no dessert either. Bottom line, I see they get good reviews for weddings, perhaps that's where they excel, but corporate meetings are not their strong suit, from what I can tell.

Catering at Its Best, led by their Events Manager, Angie Gross, did an absolutely flawless job providing the catering for my relatively small (about 90 guests) wedding reception at The Laurelhurst Club in Portland. By the time I arrived about 4 p.m., the crew was in full force, quietly and efficiently setting up 14 round tables for dining, the buffet service tables, an appetizer station, an outside bar area and a section for chilled lemonade and water. Everything was arranged beautifully with plenty of space for people to move around and get their food. The food was outstanding. I ordered a buffet with tri tip and salmon, grilled veggies, a pear salad, bread selection and cavatappi pasta. The appetizer table held 3 types of yummy canapes, 5-spice chicken wings, a selection of tropical fruits and crudites with tarragon dip. Most of my guests made a point of saying how good the food was. Everything was kept replenished and full. Nothing ever even came close to running out. What really impressed me was how the staff did their jobs without ever being intrusive. I didn't have to ask for a single thing. Even when they started breaking down, I doubt anyone even noticed! I would also like to point out that Angie stepped in, due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, to replace 2 other previous contacts at CAIB. I was very worried that things might fall through the cracks but they did not. Angie answered all my crazy questions very patiently. She also made sure I got something to eat at the reception. That is going way beyond the call of duty. Plus, Angie is very positive, fun and just plain thoughtful to work with. I'd recommend CAIB without reservation. I am very picky about services I am paying for. I expect a lot (in a nice way). They treated me like I was a million-dollar, repeat customer instead of a likely one-timer. I loved them so much, I found myself thinking, "I wish I had another event I could have them cater. . . hmmm. . . "

Catering At Its Best, and Toni especially, do a wonderful job. We have been using them for corporate events for the past three years and they always do a top notch job. They are great at catering to special needs such as vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian options. They are easy to work with, affordable, and professional and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer.

They are Amazing! I attended a holiday work party earlier this week and 'Catering at It's Best' made and served all the food. Not only was the food delicious, plentiful, and beautifully displayed, the service was top notch! They offered both passed appetizers, and buffet tables full of both savory and sweet foods. The flank steak with peanut sauce was fabulous, as well as the grilled shrimp and vegetable platters. The dessert and fruit table was glorious and everything on it was tasty. The icing on the cake was when I had to leave the party early because my son was home sick...the chef put together a to-go box for me with a lovely array of goodies to take home with me. Bottom Line, I would recommend these caterers to anyone. They go above and beyond!

I can't say enough fabulous things about Catering At Its Best! We hired them to cater our 130 person wedding reception at the World Forestry Center just a couple of weeks ago. We had such a great experience working with Toni...definitely my favorite of all the vendors we worked with (shh, don't tell the others). She was available whenever we had questions (and we had a lot), worked with us on some very specific requests (some people really like Miller Lite...no judgement), hosted us for a lovely tasting a month before the big day, and was a huge part of making our day so special and memorable. She's got a great sense of humor, a roll-with-the-punches attitude, and great customer service skills! And the food, oh the food. We got so many compliments! The Parmesan roasted potatoes are to die for, and everyone loved the Dijon pork loin and salmon with fennel. Compliments to the chef! I wouldn't hesitate to use them again at another function, and, of course, recommend them to friends. I'm just sad I won't get emails from Toni every week. :( Thanks again, Toni!

After researching and talking to roughly 20 catering complains, I chose Catering At Its Best. From the very start, I worked with Nora, who led me through the process of coordinating a dinner for just under 100 people. Her energy, ideas, and attention to detail allowed us to host the perfect outdoor reception. Her staff was professional and kind. They knew exactly what to do and impressed everyone. Our venue staff also said they were the best they had ever experienced at their site. The food was perfect in every way. It was top notch gourmet in taste, color and presentation. Every guest complimented us on their dinners and our special diets guests were thrilled by the additional options created for them. From start to finish, there was not a single detail overlooked. I would not think twice about hiring them again. Thank you so much for making this the perfect event for our family to host!

Just used Catering at Its Best for my daughter's wedding at the World Forestry Center in Portland. Our contact person/coordinator Nora was a hard working, incredibly organized manager who kept track of all details and knew the venue well enough to give excellent advice about using the space most efficiently to set up a really lovely night. The food was just as great as what we tasted at our sample meal in the production kitchen and looked fabulous on the buffet. Guests were very happy with the dinner: crudité, veggie platter, salmon, beef, rice, fruit salad were all wonderful. Using this company allows the customer to supply own beer, wine, champagne and with the services of the company's bartender, we saved an incredible amount of money on our open bar. Nora was really appreciated by our wedding coordinator, who said that timely messages from Nora during the night of the reception kept a smooth flow for dinner, toasts, cake and clean-up. Really can't praise them enough for the fabulously perfect service. Staff was so professional and friendly , which added to the fun of the evening (yep.... talking about you Angela). Bartender did such a great job with our crowd and helped me load up personal supplies at the end of the evening. REALLY happy we used CAIB, and could not think of anything that could have been improved upon.

Wow what can I say! I am not sure what is up with this company. I had been corresponding with Toni about an event for 150 people lasting 4 hours. Was sent a lackluster proposal and had questions like why did we need 29 staff, 13 in the kitchen alone. How many plates, flatware and types of glassware? What the $5364.45 service charge went towards was it a tip or? I received an email telling me to see comments in red in my original email we all know what that means. Was told that 1 staff member for every 5 guests was good with him. Was told " Working with caterers before I'm sure you're familiar with service charges, ours is set below the standard here in Portland". They were actually the highest out of five bids all reputable caterers by reviews. If you are looking for higher end food items they might not be for you. Not only was the menu all over the place but they offered me macaroni and cheese spoons really. I could go on and on. Not in my nature. Beware of these guys and ask A LOT of question. (Question for the owner, Why add my rentals and floral into the service charge when all you would have done was order them even after marking them up, that was an extra $700 +)

Kevin and staff at Catering at its Best are absolutely fabulous. I booked them for my wedding in August and I could not ask for a better caterer. The food was INCREDIBLE! All of my guests at the reception could not stop talking about it. To this day they still talk about the stuffed mushrooms, YUM!!!! Kevin not only was my caterer but he also took out the time to basically act as my wedding reception coordinator. The whole event went off with no flaws. I highly recommend them!!!!

Let me begin by telling you that Catering at It's Best was the only caterer we met with for our wedding. After meeting Toni, we felt so taken care of and so confident that we booked them right away. The staff at Catering at It's Best was amazing from start to finish. I don't know if I could have hoped for a better experience with a catering company. On top of their stellar customer service, the food that comes out of that kitchen is phenomenal. Beef brisket? Yes, please! Gorgonzola and Walnut Chopped Salad? Sign me up! Toni accommodated every request we had, and was full of helpful ideas along the way. I recommend Catering at It's Best 100%! They say that not many people remember the food at your wedding, but I disagree. The resounding praise that our guests gave the food and catering was amazing! Not only will they remember the food at our wedding, but the fantastic staff that Catering at It's Best provided! Thanks again Toni and everyone at CAIB!

Kevin and the people of Catering at its Best were amazing. The compliments on the catering at our wedding never stopped. Kevin was the consummate professional and even stepped up to the plate and picked up the slack where our DJ was failing! You couldn't dream of better person to be there running things. Kevin was calm and collected and took care of business, he even helped out our wedding coordinator. The staff was classy and professional and did their job perfectly. The food was top notch and the prices were right where they should be. No problems whatsoever. I would have no problem highly recommending Catering at its Best to anyone. I will use them again for events in the future in a heartbeat.

Catering at its best catered our wedding and we were so happy we chose them. The event manager, Kevin, was so professional and helpful. Before the wedding he kept me tuned in and planned ahead. On our wedding day they went above and beyond. They overcame obstacles and did so much more then what was asked. Small details they added were perfect. They made sure my husband and I had drinks and food which was so nice. And, the food was so good! Cooked perfectly!

Bob and his staff were about as close to perfect as could be expected. Every wedding has some issues, but I am happy to say that I got lucky with my choice in caterer. The price was more than reasonable for what we got and the food was amazing. Well, at least that's what I was told. As the bride, I didn't get to eat much myself. *sigh* At least there were lots of leftovers... Really, I only had few disappointments with the evening. However, none of it was major enough to warrant giving a bad review. I figure a few incorrectly folded napkins isn't that big of a deal. :) I did have a few problems with communications. I asked for a vegetarian dish for one of my guests, but there wasn't one available for her the day of the wedding. We also had an issue with one of the servers acting a bit inconvenienced when 2 of my pregnant friends asked for cider rather than champagne. I know these may sound like pretty major things, but considering the huge amount of special requests I put out there, I was impressed that it was so few! Plus, Bob (our contact ) was great. He answered all my questions quickly and set up almost everything I asked for quickly. His staff, for the most part, was amazing. The room looked amazing, the food was great, and I couldn't have asked for more.

Catering At Its Best was at it's absolute best when they provided coffee/tea service plus 60 sack lunches for our recent 4x4 Land Rover customer workshop at our service center which is directly across from them, so it was convenient for all parties. Our customers raved about how delicious the sack lunches were and we were very pleased. Thank you and we'll absolutely use you again at another event, Francis & Elsa - owners of PDX Rovers independent Land Rover service center
