My husband and I wanted to serve our guests an alternative to the typical passed appetizers and plated dinner. We had a limited budget and we couldn't have been more pleased with Gerard's Paella! The appetizer presentation was beautiful (we opt...ed for the giant paella pan filled with cheeses, olives, crakers, nuts, etc) and passed Texas shrimp. Then it was dinner time...oh boy! We started with a yummy salad (that was individually plated and passed). We had about 120 people and Gerard did a giant Chicken and Chorizo paella and a small veggie paella (I am vegan). The whole presentation was so impressive and the portions! I could not believe how much they piled on the plate! All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. Gerard was very nice and easy to work with and the staff was fantastic. My one complaint was that we forgot to make a menu sign, so people didn't know what the options were as they approached the buffet, but that was our fault, not Gerard's. We would use them again in a heart beat!
