No they don’t, assuming you will be serving the food within three hours. The platters are too large for anyone to fit them in the average refrigerator.
We use organic ingredients whenever possible, but not strictly. Our meat comes from Niman Ranch and other similar purveyors. Our fish is chosen with healthfulness as well as sustainability in mind.

The minimum order is $700 before taxes or delivery. Also, most items must be ordered for at least 20 servings. Unless you don’t mind leftovers, our service is geared to parties of 15 or more.

We are sorry but no, our facility is not organized for customer pickup; and the platters etc. will not fit in standard vehicles.
We can usually arrange for platters to be left in a safe place outside, so we can pick them up while you are gone.
Platters
Absolutely not, but a quick rinse is certainly appreciated. No worries either way. We want this to be easy for you.
We’ll agree beforehand on a pick up plan for the following day. Please return the platters to the blue& grey bins in which they were delivered. We recommend putting no more than 3 platters in each bin, serving utensils etc. in addition to the platters are fine. More than 3 could lead to breakage and the bin would be very heavy for the average person to pick up.
We need to charge you $25 for each platter lost or broken. Special circumstances will be considered.
Good question! First of all, the porcelain platters we use are very elegant. The presentation says to your guests: “This is going to be good!” Secondly, disposing of plastic trays is a bummer. They are usually not recyclable and they are too big for your garbage can.
