People REALLY liked today's lunch. They really liked all the healthy veggie options and the meats selections so they wanted me to give the positive feedback.

I appreciate they cut the burritos in ½ so attendees can mix & match + avoid food waste. Punctual delivery -- everything went smoothly. Thank you!

First time with this food presentation but worked good. Everyone loved the food. Arrive on time and the fruit salad was as me and others like, berries, grapes, cantaloupe. No other fruit salads with just grapes, cantaloupe and a few cut strawberries.

The Quinoa and Brown RIce bowl is an office favorite! Healthy food is what they want, and healthy food is what they get! My coworkers don't feel stuffed up and satisfied. No food coma is a plus!

Another great meal from Creative Ideas Catering. The staff love the spread for Staff Appreciation week! They love fruit, parfait, breakfast sandwiches and burritos. The bagels & locs... That was dope! All the muffins and pastries were gone. It was a killer breakfast!

The food is great. The staff ate the food. They love the balance of vegetables and protein. The chicken was favorable. Some thought the salmon was dry, but still delicious. The basmati rice is a great choice and tomato and green beans hit the spot. Thank you!

At first the staff were not excited about the Irish buffet. After lunch was a different story... Most of it gone! The first meal to go was the veggie shepherd pie. The corned beef, gone as well. Delicious and tender! The chicken was eaten before end of day. I did not get the chance to eat the tarts, that was gone in less than an hour. everyone satisfied!

I was trying to pull together a Thanksgiving event for work with very short notice (~2 days) and I was lucky enough to find CaterCow. The food was delivered a bit early and stayed warm through the event. Several people (if not everyone) compliment the food.

Food arrived on time and it was hot. The amount was really great! I originally ordered from Cater Cow because I saw the images and the presentation looked great. When it arrived, it was just basic presentation (no Halloween themed serving plates, no "eyeballs". It's just a "themed" name but the food itself was not themed at all. The images on the website has the spiders, and the meatballs has olives to make it look like eyeballs but it was just regular food. I also called the number on the website to confirm my order (I received an email, but I always call just to make sure) and the woman on the line seemed confused.

I ordered the "Frightful Delights" dessert platter and bagels and lox for our office breakfast on Halloween day. The treats were as cute as shown in the picture and were delicious.

Thank you Cater Cow for providing excellent communication throughout my first order with your organization. I appreciated you being an excellent liaison between me and Creative Ideas Catering SF. As for Creative Ideas' food, it was amazing! The food was appealing and served in manageable portions. I already have two teams asking me to order from food from them AGAIN!

Office enjoyed the lunch. Wished I ordered more of the Shepherd's pie. Overall will order from them again, but wish the cost was lower since feeding 22 people was about $500 which I think is high but the quality made it worth it as a treat.

The delivery personnel even stayed longer after the delivery to replenish food for us and arranged to bring pans for our chaffing dishes and canned heat.

I always love when I can support women-owned businesses! These breakfast sandwiches were yummy, well-portioned, wrapped neatly, and came with good description cards. My coworkers were very happy with this breakfast option. Also the best fruit salad variety I have found on CaterCow yet! Thanks team (:

Everything was delicious and arrived on time but the so-called Gluten-free burritos were not made with Gluten-free tortillas! For future orders, either a menu update should be made, or just use GF tortillas on the GF burritos.

quinoa bar was fantastic! The veggies were really good. The only thing was that the quantities were off- we had a whole container of chicken leftover and two containers of quinoa, while all of the veggies ran out really quickly. So next time I'd say more veggies less grains :)

The food was a delivered a bit on the early side which meant that it wasn't all the way hot when it arrived. The delivery person was very nice and gave us some free decorations. The food was pretty good but the vegetables weren't cooked all the way. I usually associate a good corned beef and cabbage with a soft texture of vegetable, not crunchy. In general it was a good experience.
