Cafe Natalie Catering

ssed hors d'oeuvres, as well as a duo of entrees and sides from their classic menu, and we were blown away by just how tasty everything was. We were especially impressed with their late-night churro add-on, and all of the food received rave reviews from our wedding guests. On the day of, all the staff were incredibly professional, and our service was totally seamless. Cafe Natalie really helped to make our wedding day absolutely perfect.

rvers were polite and in sync while serving dinner. The bartender was the greatest and made sure all the guests had enough dancing juice. The pulled pork tostadas were hands down my husbands favorite. The mushroom risotto stole my heart. The jalapeno chicken was a family favorite though the Korean steak wasn't far behind. As my husband and I made the rounds while people ate dinner we were met with nothing but compliments. One of my bridemaids had a vegetarian meal which she loved and still tries to recreate. My husband and I set out to give our guest a memorable experience and thanks to the Cafe Natalie team, I feel like we succeeded.

y their service and quality of food during the cocktail hour and reception. You need to hire Cafe Natalie!!

ide about one bartender in particular named Cody who was serving great drinks to our guests. Thank you, Cafe Natalie, for helping make our day special! We all had a fantastic time!

ve and beyond. The bar service was also great. A few recommendations: CHURRO BAR (you're welcome), short ribs, and empanadas. We enjoyed our tasting and really enjoyed working with the Cafe Natalie team.

r much additional you're paying compared to buffet. We had guests mention their "synchronized plating" and how they truly felt that fine dining experience. The catering manager checked in with us personally throughout the night to make sure our drinks were filled (and helped us get any drinks that we wanted from the bar) and that the food was good. We got the blueberry quinoa and kale salad, even our 2 year old guest demolished it and was asking for more. For the entree we had the filet mignon, chilean sea bass w/ champagne dill, mashed potatoes and sweet chili brussel sprouts.... DELICIOUS. So many compliments from all our guests. If you want a stress-free, reliable, and top tier experience for you and your guests book Cafe Natalie immediately!!

ut the food and service from happy hour to dinner! Would highly recommend Cafe Natalie!

ieve the quality they delivered, both in the food and service. They were flawless on the day of our wedding. If they had any issues, we never heard about it and it went off without a hitch. The bonus was how open they were to accommodating they were for my guests who have dietary restrictions. At the end of the day, I would recommend them to a friend for any event in the future.

d lemon basil salmon was delicious and cooked to perfection. The jalapeno crispy chicken was outstanding. This is just talking about the entrée, but it was well supported by mouthwatering appetizers (bulgogi on jalapeno corn, veggie samosas) and fabulous arugula and goat cheese salad. Some of the comments from the guests were, "Best wedding food ever” " never had such good quality and quantity" "Wanted to finish every bit of it as it was so tasty but huge quantity". The staff were extremely courteous and helpful! We strongly recommend Cafe Natalie!!

entation. They helped make our daughters wedding amazing! I would highly recommend them!

! We had 270 guests and received lots of compliments from our guests on how much they enjoyed the food! They service was top notch, too. I highly recommend!

ptions, so we went with with them, and boy were we not disappointed! From day one, the entire team answered our questions quickly and thoroughly, and even rescheduling our wedding due to COVID was a breeze. We got SO many compliments on the food-- even a family member who owns a famous restaurant in New Orleans commented on how good the food was! The bartenders were also very generous with their pours and incredibly nice. The event manager (I think her name was Katie?) was so attentive and helpful the entire night-- I seriously felt like royalty. I would recommend Cafe Natalie to any bride who is looking for amazing service, delicious food and drink, and all at a pretty reasonable price for wedding food. Thank you Cafe Natalie for helping make our day so wonderful!

et up for a backyard rehearsal dinner Did a beautiful job on setting and then it happened a clap of thunder and it poured down rain. Isabella and her team did not miss a beat. They were undaunted by the rain, adapted quickly, and came up with a new plan. Everything was set up inside and ready to go before the guests arrived. I do not know how they managed it but I am so happy they did! They are my heroes! I highly recommend Cafe Natalie!

u for making my daughter's wedding spectacular.

estions). After dinner, our wedding guests kept telling us how great the food was - best wedding food they had ever had. And then came the churro bar!!! The service was seamless, and the food was delicious. I couldn't have asked for more.

Natalie in one word? I can’t. They are out of this world! Not only is the food to die for, but the presentation of the food is beautiful! Our guest were so pleased with the many hors d’oeuvres passed around in a professional and sophisticated manner. The shrimp cocktail and scallops were a hit! When my husband and I walked around the reception to greet our guest, we received countless of compliments of the meal. Everyone was so impressed of the quality and taste of Cafe Natalie’s food. Beyond the food itself, this company was a pleasure to work with! It was evident their one focus and concern was making sure we were happy. They are so amazing to work with and I can’t wait to work with them for any future events that present themselves! We love them and are so grateful to have had them be apart of our special day! :) Emma & Kyle Durham

very single guest that we spoke to on the night of loved their dinner, and even a groomsmen with a food allergy said that his meal was the most amazing alternate meal he had had at an event. If you're even considering Cafe Natalie, you should 100% go for it. You will not be disappointed.

time we turned around to ensure we have appetizers, food, or drinks! Whatever we needed she was there! All of our guests raved about how great the food was! Cafe Natalie was so kind and accommodating through the planning process! We went for three different tasting, pick items from various menus, and changed our mind about entrees multiple times. Through all of it the experience was amazing

ays so responsive and answered all my questions. The tasting was AMAZING and I definitely recommend you to come hungry. They were very thorough and walked us though each dish that we picked. Now on to the wedding day - we hired Cafe Natalie for Cocktail Hour and Reception dinner. During the Cocktail hour, the wait staff were very polite and always made sure to make their way to each guests and took the time to explain each appetizer. We were too busy taking photos during this time, but they were so nice to make sure to find us and give us food, they even brought over a plate just for us. During the reception, the day of manager was so attentive to us and always made sure we had time to eat and checked on us to see if we needed anything. The entire team was amazing! All of our guests were raving about the quality of the food and how attentive the wait staff was! I'm still dreaming of their risotto as I write this review. So, if you haven't yet, send that email to Cafe Natalie and start your process of booking them!

of delicious food. They customized all the appetizers presentations to our liking and also ensured us that we could adjust what we needed closer to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, all our guests were raving to both our families about the quality of the food and the professional services given by Cafe Natalie. Its been a week since out wedding and people are still calling our parents about each item on the menu. Thank you to the staff who made this possible with all the Covid precautions in place. We truly appreciate all you've done and for the amazing food you served!

y say they are a full service company, they provide everything needed to execute your event. Another bonus about them, they are quick when it comes to communication, all of my emails were answered immediately.  Due to COVID, I was forced to change venues since my original one remained closed and the Cafe Natalie team did everything to make my wedding day possible.  Not only did I hire them for catering, but they also handled the bar service (you can't beat their service and pricing), and even did some rentals through them. All of my other vendors were relieved when they knew that Cafe Natalie was in charge of my event.  Every single detail discussed was executed even though it was their first time at my venue. They brought us appetizers during our "down time" and even made sure we got to enjoy our main meal. We had the bacon wrapped dates (delicious), the petite lamb chops (my father in law loved them) and the caprese skewers. The short rib was such a big hit. It's been a month since my wedding and my guests are still raving about the food and the service. Good food and excellent service were a must for us, and guess what? Cafe Natalie has all of that! If you want peace of mind and a delicious meal that's going to bring you lots of compliments, hire them!

ing, we were so impressed by the team's professionalism and willingness to make our food dreams come to life! Like for instance, they’re making us a S’mores bar, and it’s not even on their menus! Cafe Natalie’s outstanding service, communication and flexibility deserves 5 stars! You should definitely choose them. You won't regret it!

tar. Vi, the manager, made sure everyone was taken care of and kept track of all the special dietary needs. Absolutely impressed and would use them over and over again!

about the wedding but the food. I would hire them to host another event. They were easy to communicate with as well. They returned phone calls and emails in a timely manner.

e tasting! We were blown away by the quality, and professionalism of the staff. They were everything we wanted, and more.

family members). The service staff was phenomenal. They never let dirty dishes sit out, and always made sure my husband and I had food and drink in hand. They were so attentive and friendly. Look no further...Cafe Natalie is a must book for your wedding!

immediately knew they would be catering our wedding. The food, their presentation, and professionalism shined right through that day. On our tasting day, we expected the same thing and that's exactly what we got. Now, for our wedding day, we didn't know if things would taste exactly the same because now they have to replicate that yummy, hot dish 100x and once again, they did it. We got compliments all night on the food and still to this day. Their pulled pork tostadas are a MUST. For our entree, I chose chicken parm with au gratin potatoes and my husband chose fish and brussel sprouts. Guests who do not like brussel sprouts or maybe haven't had them, LOVED them. At the end of the night, they pack to go for food for the bride and groom and I couldn't have been more grateful for that because as the bride and groom, you are busy and may not get to eat your entire entree. Cafe Natalie, y'all are AMAZING. If I need a future event catered, I'm calling them!

istancing at our wedding by allowing us to upgrade to a seated dinner without an additional charge (still paid for the staff for a seated dinner though). All the guests loved the food and still rave about it when I talk to them! They were also very attentive to all the guests' dietary restrictions and even told those guests how their meals will be different. The only reason why they didn't get all 5 stars is because I'm very allergic to bell peppers and made it clear that I didn't want any bell peppers in the food, but they prepared the Vietnamese salad with bell peppers so I had a reaction from it the whole evening but thankfully my makeup was able to cover most of the reaction but I still didn't feel good towards the end of the night

fe Natalie for our bar service and they got people through the line quickly and with great customer service. Overall, I highly recommend using Cafe Natalie for food & bar services.

e coming by every once in awhile to see if we needed anything. Food was great and would recommend this place to anyone!

their bartenders hitting on half of my bridesmaids.

g up to our big day. Not to mention the food was absolutely delicious- our guests raved about it! Thank you again!!

the back of their hand and work MAGICALLY with their team. Chris, Sam, Diana, Peter, Adela, and the entire Cafe Natalie team were accommodating, responsive, and professional. At our tasting, we were BLOWN AWAY, not only by their presentation and DELICIOUS FOOD, but by how they ran with our Spanish-inspired theme! They nailed it! Now for the wedding...it’s been five weeks since my husband and I got married, and my guests are STILL talking about the food! It’s hard to pick my favorite dish, but here are a few: the Beef Tenderloin Carving Station, Brussel Sprouts, Mexican Street Corn, and OH. MY. GOD. The Churros Bar!! I’m DROOLING remembering it just now. I would give them 100 STARS if I could!! If you want a caterer that offers AMAZING service and SCRUMPTIOUS food. Book. Them. TODAY!

well that choosing our menu was one of the easiest decisions we had to make. They also let us choose 2 signature drinks, one for the bride and one for the groom. Our guests were also very impressed with the bartenders and how good the drinks were! We would choose Cafe Natalie without a second though if we had to do it over again. The only other thing I would suggest doing is selecting the pork tostadas at your tasting. DELICIOUS!!

als were. The catering manager was efficient and organized throughout the entire event. He made sure tables were bussed, food was brought out, food was taken away, etc. seamlessly! You would have never known this was their first time catering at our property! They did a fantastic job.

no issues at all.

d I am still getting compliments on the food and the joy people experienced there!! I can not thank the wonderful people who decorated, cooked, plated, served and dedicated themselves to a wonderful evening for perfect strangers!! You can NOT go wrong with these professional caterers!!

out making your special day the best it can be. They were so accommodating for us and our guests. Not to mention, the food tastes AMAZING. All of my guests were raving about their Mac and cheese!

restaurant in town. Our guests would follow the waiters around so they could grab the tequeños before other people. The service was absolutely impecable, Alex, the event manager made sure everything was running smoothly and that me and my husband were taken care of the entire time. No wonder these guys win best caterer in town year after year. They are amazing.

not complain about the other items. I would recommend that they review their children's menu as the 8 children at our wedding were not overly happy with the macaroni and cheese and a side of ketchup for the chicken tenders would of been nice. Also, the wait staff needs to be trained a bit better on their service as we had two trays fall with one falling on a guest. Aside from those mishaps, I was very pleased with their service and food quality as were our guests.

g was perfect, and it would not have been the same without her!

zer we chose :) The food was just such a hit, great flavor, the meat and chicken so tender! Thank you Cafe Natalie - we couldn't have done it without you!

m the guests was very positive and my wife and I were catered to the entire night. Excellent staff and company. Thank you.

ignon! We had a family style dinner, and my mom was very worried before the tasting that it might not be the same as your typical Kim Son dinner. But honestly, I dare to say Cafe Natalie food was better! Writing this review is making me hungry.

our food in my bridal suite which was really, really sweet. They went back and forth from the reception kitchen to our bridal suite just to make sure everything was served correctly to us. What was even more of a surprise was we had a buffet style with either the choice of Coq a vin or Shrimp Scampi. They told us we had enough food for everyone, that everyone could have both. Amazing. I specifically want to bring up this situation that happened and how amazing their customer service really is: One of my groomsmen had told us the day after the wedding, that they were in the tables towards the end and that they ran out of shrimp. Cafe Natalie brought a whole platter of shrimp to their table a few minutes after. That, that is wonderful customer service and we heard nothing but compliments from the food served at our wedding! Thank you so so much!

e it to the bar but Cafe Natalie made sure we got everything. We were frequently approached and asked if we needed another drink or something to eat.

o accommodate us. We were glad Cafe Natalie had a family style option and it was a great middle option for us because it felt like a plated arrangement but provided our guests the flexibility to get more food. It also was a great way for guests to chat and get to know each other. Overall, our wedding guests raved and loved our food, drinks and the overall quality of service from the cocktail hour to the reception!

ecution the night of our event. EVERYONE commented on how good our food was and many asked for the name of our caterer. Could not be more pleased to recommend Cafe Natalie!

nner, she told me she'd bring my husband and my food to our table so we didn't have to wait in line. She checked on us and our daughter and new husband throughout the night and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was delicious, and we've received lots of compliments on the cocktail appetizers and the dinner as well as the staff. They had a to go bag ready for the newly married couple when their getaway car arrived and my daughter was so grateful : ) We'd highly recommend Café Natalie. They were so easy to work with from the initial visit to the wedding.

yed my experience working with Cafe Natalie and would highly recommend them!

eir premises and bring in in heated transporters, Cafe Natalie cooks on site and the difference is AMAZING! The food was well worth the price as every single guest commented on the quality, service and overall experience. Diana stayed the night and oversaw everthing - she is an exceptional representative of Cafe Natalie and made sure no detail was overlooked. Their food is fresh, excellently prepared and SOOOO delicious - from appetizer to cake I can't thank them enough for their attention to detail. Kudos!!!

nded up with tons of delicious beautiful cake leftover that we had to toss because it wasn't passed out to everyone. I recall having to kind of chase someone down to get a slice.

e french fry bar. Our guests are still raving about them! We also changed our minds about various details/food items throughout the planning process, and the team was super patient and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend for your next event!!

urselves before the reception, and it was one of my favorite parts of our big day. We got so many compliments about our food choices from the guests!

We highly recommend their service.

ave so many choices and we really weren't picky for something "recognizable" or "local". They provide nice cloth napkins, catering tables with linens, ceramic plates (with either silver or gold trim), and all the bar glasses. The wait staff serves the food at the buffet (making it feel much classier, and also saving people from over-serving) and I can't say enough how professional they were! The package I got also includes an hors d'ouvre (and we added a second) to be passed around during the cocktail hour. My family LOVED doing the food tasting (a perk I forgot is part of wedding planning) and it was very easy to schedule. Working with their team so closely throughout the wedding planning process was great because I really felt they understood what we wanted. I don't know if they do this at every venue, but they also had the salads plated at each seat when guests enter the reception space. This saved time and again, made it all look very CLASSY and PROFESSIONAL!

e rounds greeting our guests. They were able to easily accommodate our guests with dietary restrictions. The tasting was also wonderful - they provided full portions of every item we wanted to try and were very helpful when building the menu. I would highly recommend them for any catering needs.

flawlessly. Don’t hesitate to book Cafe Natalie, you will not regret it. Love Anna & Pat!

ht coffee to the bridesmaids before the wedding. Couldn't have been more pleased with their professional service!

the best value (in our opinion) of the vendors on the venue’s list. Compared to a wider range of caterers, they would have likely been higher than the median. Prior to the reception, we found them to be responsive, accommodating multiple changes, questions, and an additional tasting session to make a change to the menu. Even using their buffet option, they were able to accommodate a variety of dietary needs. At the reception, the food was delicious and got multiple compliments from our guests that day and in the weeks that followed. They had experience coordinating with the museum and set up the floor plan/placed the tables exactly how we had asked. There were two instances where we were especially impressed: They prepared two plates for us without us asking so that we could eat as others were waiting for the buffet, otherwise we likely wouldn’t have had time to eat. In addition, we did not get to try the appetizers we had selected for the reception since we completely missed cocktail hour. As a surprise, the mother of the bride called Café Natalie to see if she could secure some for us after we came back from our honeymoon. Café Natalie not only provided these free of charge, but also delivered them to her home which was close by. We are very impressed and satisfied with their service and food, and recommend them for others. TLDR: We selected Café Natalie for our reception from a list of vendors that our venue (Houston Museum of Natural Science) had vetted. They were responsive, delicious, did good service the day of our reception, and a great value compared to the other vendors from our venue’s list.

g is reasonable, and some of our guests specifically came over to tell us how much they enjoyed the meal. My personal favorite from our menu was the lobster bisque. AMAZING. I spent the whole wedding weekend hyping it up to my bridesmaids (and yes, it met the hype). If you book a tasting, be sure to show up hungry! They serve full portions to make sure you know exactly what you are signing up for, and everything tastes great. Our server, Peter, was informative and friendly. He made sure all our questions were answered, but still gave us space to taste and discuss everything in our own time. Overall, working with them was a great experience and I would recommend them to others.
