Great People, Great Food, Great Value

Jerry was extremely fun to work with for our wedding. He and his wife are both such warm people to be around. Jerry came up with a menu that really suited our personalities, and the food was delicious. (Our guests are still talking about his bacon-wrapped scallops and lobster sliders). He was incredibly flexible and professional, surveying our venue ahead of time for perfect set-up, and giving us awesome suggestions. We had an extremely hot day, and Jerry and his wonderful staff continued with the great service in spite of any outdoor challenges. Jerry even provided us with bartending services, and Dan was an amazing bartender. Both Jerry and Dan helped us with signature cocktails and getting us local beer on draft. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we absolutely plan to work with Jerry again in the future, or at least visit the other great establishments where he chefs it up for years to come.

Loved Jerry!

Jerry was personable and responsive. He was patient with us and answered all of our many questions. He set himself up at our event with little guidance needed. He interacted with us and our guests. We got A LOT of compliments on the food coming from our pickiest and hard to please guests. Everything was fresh and delicious. Beef kabobs were especially a hit. We found him a bit short notice, but he was flexible and so easy to work with. Definitely recommend!

Jerry and his staff are so professional. The celebration of my husband life was a huge success. Many of the guests commented on not only the food, but the how lovely the staff was. Every need was met, and then some. The setup and breakdown was seemless, and all my husbands favorite foods were served.
Thank you, one and all!

Mid-Coast Catering and it's owner, Jerry Tarantino, were a pleasure to work with. Jerry was very responsive during our planning phase, and he and his staff were very responsive and flexible during the event itself. The food was delicious! Many guests commented on the delicious fresh potato salad, the tender ribs, the fabulous cole slaw, and the wonderful strawberry shortcake dessert. Oh, and don't let me forget the appetizers - also absolutely delicious. The staff were helpful, flexible and gracious in every way. Jerry and his crew made our event smooth and easy and fun!
