  The entire City Kitchen team was simply incredible.
  All of our guests absolutely loved the food, and raved about it all.
  Planning a wedding can be quite a daunting task in itself, and there were a lot of changes needed at the last minute due to inclement weather (a hurricane).... However, with the help of Emma Dunbar and her staff, the wedding turned out to be absolutely perfect. Emma's calm and poised professionalism was priceless for us - Thank you to the entire team for your dedication and attention to detail in all circumstances - Our wedding was amazing.

  I hired City Kitchen to cater a professional banquet at the Nasher Museum for ~125 people. Although this event was not a wedding, the planning of the workshop banquet was very similar to planning my wedding banquet two years ago: from flowers, determining the timing of the food, setting up for the speeches, etc. [Also, I found this website helpful when picking a caterer and wanted to be of help for those picking a caterer in the future.]
  
  From the start Emma was great to work with: extremely responsive and willing to adjust menu/drinks to our budget. This was in contrast to the other vendor we considered to cater the event.
  
  The day of the event went smoothly, and the food was spectacular. The appetizers were all well prepared. In particular, we really enjoyed the crab cakes and ribs. The mains were even better than the appetizers (and the appetizers were great). The braised beef was tasty and very tender, and the fish was delicious and juicy.
  
  Many of the guests commented it was the best banquet food they had eaten.

  Great place! They worked with us on the price and they set all the tables up and Emma was a great help during such a stressful time! Also the inside is beautiful! We already recommended our friends there and they just got married there too!

  Megan and Emma were great to work with from start to finish. Emma arranged for a food tasting at their restaurant so we could choose our menu. They were alway quick to return our emails and answer our questions. The menu we choose worked out well for our weddiing, the food was very good and presentation was great. We would highly recommend the City Kitchen to other brides in the Durham/Chapel Hill area. They came highly recommended by wedding co-ordinaters.

  City Kitchen was most helpful in planning my son's rehearsal dinner. They made sure all the details were taken care from table arrangement to providing the most efficient staff. Our dinner was plated. It came from the kitchen hot and was served quickly, The food was delicious. Megan Barlow, the event planner is excellent. She works well with her staff and customers.

  We had been going to Spice Street (and now City Kitchen) nearly every week for over a year so we were thrilled when we found out that they would cater for our wedding reception. The quality of the food was outstanding and they provided exactly what we asked for. The waitstaff was highly professional and everything ran perfectly. The management team and the waitstaff have always been extremely helpful and accommodating. That is what makes it our favorite place to eat!
