First of all, Claire's at the Depot has become my family's absolute favorite restaurant. Every single item on their menu is delicious, and they put a lot of thought into serving ingredients that are fresh, seasonal, and local. We served filet mignon and crab cakes as our two plated dinner options at our wedding, and our guests RAVED about both dishes. The passed hors d'oeuvres were also fantastic, and the precision and care the staff took when serving our guests and the wedding party was beyond what we expected. The wedding party was involved in pictures during the cocktail hour, but Claire's staff brought trays of food and drinks so we didn't miss out on the wonderful food. They also made sure my husband and I ate during the reception even though we were busy making rounds at all of the tables and enjoying our lively dance floor!
Also, the planning process with Claire's was so enjoyable it didn't feel like work. Donna is an amazing contact for all of the back and forth questions (which I had on a regular basis!), and Claire herself met with us twice to make sure the menu was perfect (we also received a complimentary tasting). Pattie was our catering captain, and working with her was such a pleasure. She put all of my anxieties at ease before the weekend even arrived, and made me even more comfortable at the reception itself, making sure every detail was taken care of. I felt like the staff working our reception were also our guests because they were so gracious and excited to be there with us. No other catering company compares. I recommend Claire's at the Depot with gusto, and you absolutely must go for brunch, lunch or dinner!!
