Rafati's Elegance in Catering

Not only was the food outstanding, but the presentation was over the top - from mashed potatoes in martini glasses to crab cakes served on spoons with a modern design. Plus, the entire team at Rafatis does a wonderful job working together to make your wedding event truly unique and perfect in everyway. We were fortunate to work with Rafatis owner Georgia Rafati, who helped coordinate the entire event and even attended our rehearsal. She has elegant taste and provides importance guidance to those of us who have imagined the perfect wedding since we were young but don't quite know how to put the pieces together. Pros: Delicious food, amazing presentation, very professional team Cons: There's only one Georgia, and she's the best at what she does more

My wife and I had our reception at the Lawrence Gallery in the Pearl. It was great. Pros: Only thumbs up cant think of any negatives more

Rafati's catered our annual Board Meeting and the following Shareholders Reception. They had Pros: Artistic, Professional, Organized more

I found this caterer at a fundraiser I attended at the Lawrence Gallery last October. They had samples of food and very friendly waiters serving it. When I talked with the young man about their lobster soup he was knowledgeable and suggested I call in to talk with him at more length about my daughter's wedding. I did and ended up signing them to cater at our home. So far I have had two planning meetings and a site visit. Thursday we had a tasting. It was everything I expected. We haven't had the main event but everything so far has been wonderful. I was worried about all of these details and the planning just seems to take care of itself. I read these reviews and they were so right, I wanted to help someone else like me. Pros: Knowledgeable, Professional, Very Good Food more

Everything I read here was right on. I held my wedding and reception at the Tiffany Center last month and it was fantastic. Rafati's does all of the catering but they also do absolutely everything to make a wedding perfect. From the time I booked my date they were right there to hold my hand. Nothing was forgotten, every detail planned for. I went from Bridezilla to laid back. And the day of my wedding was like a dream. Everything I had pictured happened, the room was beautiful, I had my own ""coach"" for the day, my mom just partied down! The food was fantastic - I can't really describe just how perfect everything was. Now I want to do it all again! Girls, you can't go wrong with this caterer. Pros: Very Helpful, Excellent Food, Beautiful Displays more

I hired the firm to provide catering services to a week long seminar I produced in Oregon City. It consisted of breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack service. My experience was flawless. They were on time every time - which was important for me because the group absolutely had to stay on schedule. The food was delicious, fresh. Hot food was hot and the cold food was cold. They also managed to make everything look amazing in the short amount of time they had to set up. I would definitely recommend them to any corporate planner. For anyone else, for that matter! I found it very easy to do business with them via email as well. Whatever I asked for or needed they were right on it! This was the best experience from catering that I can ever remember in 13 years at this post. Pros: On Time, Great Food, Knowledgeable more

I used Rafati's catering for a 2 day conference at a local hospital. Although they didn't have the french toast listed as a menu item, they were able to make a french toast buffet, with fruit, & bacon for a very reasonable price. I have definately recommended them to other event coordinators and will absolutely use them in the future. Their food was excellent! (the bacon was absolutely incredible) And the serving staff was very efficient, friendly and professional. The catering manager was very easy to work with, and was able to make last minute additions to my order without a hitch. Thanks so much! Pros: great food, reasonably priced, friendly staff more

I have three daughters and one son, and I can't tell you how much fun we have had in the last three years with two of my daughters and my sons' weddings! Looking back I couldn't have done it without Georgia! She was so wonderful to work with. Rafati's food is well known and I would hire them only for that. But Georgia worked with each of my daughters and my daughter in law to personalize their weddings. Each of them were all very different. I have had such a good time. If anyone is worried about how to even start on the whole wedding plan thing I would say call Georgia. She will not only get you started, you will enjoy every step and have the time of your life with your family and friends. Pros: Great Food, Organized, Knowledgeable more

In my business I entertain often. Over the past four months I have had the Rafati's cater five different kinds of events. They were great. Always on time, food is really good, I could request menu items they don't have on their lists and their planners - I worked with two different people - were very organized. I am happy I found them on this site. Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Nice People more

Our company held our holiday party at the Tiffany Center. It was very comfortable, the food was surprisingly good. Then we needed catering for an all day seminar at our office and again, the service was very professional and the food again exceptional. These people did exactly what they said the would and when they said. No surprises - just what we wanted. Pros: Great Food, On Time, Professional more

I attended a reception at the Chinese Garden and was surprised to see this caterer cooking chinese foods on site. They were everywhere. I thought the food was really good. Pros: Really Good, Chinese Garden fun!, Good parking more

As the Mother of the Groom - it's easy to feel lost in the shuffle, but the event planner at Rafati's, Jessica made sure I was included and felt taken care of. I can't rate this company high enough - everything was perfect and the food was not your ordinary catered wedding food. It was like dining in a fine restaurant. I was proud! Pros: Wonderful Food, Good Parking, Even A Red Carpet more
