We first discovered El Pampeano Steakhouse through a wedding decorator and were blown away by their catering for our wedding in November 2024. Seeing them now on Zola reminded us of the wonderful experience we had, and we wanted to leave our review. Everything was flawless: the food was delicious, the service attentive and professional, and Leo, the grill master, and his wife Lore were always on top of every detail. They truly made our wedding even more special and memorable. We highly recommend El Pampeano Steakhouse to any couple looking for catering that combines amazing flavor, attentive service, and genuine dedication.

3 C’s Catering was on our venues preferred vendors list. When I looked them up I noticed that they had consistent reviews on multiple outlets from people raving about the quality of the food and the service. They were so right!! John, was incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the process. Even when we had to keep making changes. Kyle, John’s son, was one of the people on the team for our big day and brought us our food and made sure to keep checking on us throughout the duration of our reception. Evelyn, their coordinator, did a lovely job with the buffet decor. The rest of the team for our reception were great too! You can tell that the team at 3 C’s truly cares about hospitality and the people they work with. Our family and friends complemented the food. I recommend hiring them for any special event you have!

Catering By Robert / Event Concepts . FL 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Starts at $3,995
  • Serves Seffner, FL

We are small, established, award-winning catering and event planning company which specializes in weddings held on the West Coast of Florida. Our focus is on only 1 - 2 weddings a week with an average of 100 guests. We prefer to do limit our weddings so we can spend more quality time focusing on our clients.

We just used Catering by Robert for our wedding catering on 12/07/24 and we couldn't have imagined having anyone else for our wedding. The food was great, their staff was amazing, and the attention to detail was unmatched. When you sign a contract with Catering by Robert, you become part of their family while you're planning a wedding. Susan, who runs the operation, makes you feel like you're the only wedding they're planning. You'll be invited to bi-monthly tastings from signing until your wedding. We had no doubt that the menu we were choosing was reflective of exactly what we wanted. You'll also attend a design meeting with their team to ensure that the tables you're presenting match your vision. ....and when you change your mind or have any questions, Susan is only a phone call away. They also double as your on-site coordinator for the day, which was a huge help and weight off of our shoulders. They provide linens, multiple centerpiece options, and do the setup/breakdown of your table décor (including cake table, guest tables, gift and card tables etc). For any large events moving forward, Catering by Robert will consistently be our first choice!

  • Serves Seffner, FL

Welcome! Our focus when dining with Ez Eats is to deliver an unforgettable food experience. Everyone who dines with us is considered a guest, not a client. We bring the fun, a vibe, and most importantly, amazingly delicious food!

From our first conversation with Eli at Ez Eats, we knew we had found our caterer. He was clear about what he could do, responded quickly to our questions, and stayed friendly throughout the whole process. What really impressed us was how he worked with our budget to create a meal that felt special without breaking the bank—something we were honestly surprised by. The food itself was incredible, from the plated rehearsal lunch with options for everyone to the buffet spread on our wedding day, and he even stepped away from the dinner and brought us (bride and groom) appetizers during photos so we didn't miss out. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was, and our photographer told us it was the best wedding food she'd ever had. Eli's talent, kindness, and willingness to accommodate our needs made our day feel seamless and special. We can't recommend Ez Eats highly enough.

Los Açaí Bowls ofrecidos por este servicio de catering fueron excepcionales. La textura del puré de açaí era suave y cremosa, destacando la autenticidad del sabor de la fruta. La presentación de los bowls era estéticamente atractiva, con una generosa cantidad de ingredientes frescos y toppings que añadían texturas y sabores complementarios. La inclusión de una amplia variedad de frutas frescas y nuts en los bowls fue acertada. Desde fresas jugosas hasta plátanos maduros, cada elección aportaba un componente único al conjunto. La frescura y combinación de frutas no solo proporcionaba un aspecto visualmente atractivo, sino que también lograba un equilibrio armonioso de sabores. La acidez de ciertas frutas se contrarrestaba con la dulzura del açaí, creando una experiencia gustativa equilibrada y refrescante.En resumen, la destacada calidad de los Açaí Bowls y la variedad de frutas ofrecidas por este servicio de catering demuestran un compromiso con la excelencia culinaria. Este enfoque fresco y saludable agrega un toque distintivo que eleva la experiencia gastronómica del evento.
