Find a Caterer in Kensington Park

Nellies did an absolutely phenomenal job at our wedding. The taco bar was an absolute hit! A HUGE thank you to Fredda, Cheryl and the whole team who helped us out and calmed my nerves. Best caterer in town. Hands down :)

From start to finish the Modern Events Catering staff was attentive and accommodating. We wanted a mostly vegatarian focused menu and they created an out-of-this-world menu for our visiting friends and family to enjoy. Planning a destination wedding is quite a challenge and finding a partner like Modern Events was truly a lifesaver. Sury was phenomenal every step of the way and Chef Yoder impresses is over and over again with every bite. Kudos to the Modern Events Team for helping us make our friends and family feel at home with us through your food. Bravo!

Authentic, great tasting and service!

We're BACK!!! To update my review (we went for lunch instead last time and it was very good - see review here somewhere and pictures) and so we came back before 11 am or 11:30 am for breakfast!!! Why?? ...... ============== What's UP? ======== review down below============ Fresh Start is our 21st entry in the Quest for the TOP THREE great Eggs Benedict / Breakfast spots in the Sarasota, Vamo, Osprey, Nokomis, Venice corridor. Eggs Benedict w/Ham, Florentine, or specialty (seafood, veggies, corned beef/hash, or others) and hash browns/potatoes and grits are the sides. We will narrow it down to top 3 in a few weeks and re-visit them and win, place, & show those finalists. (we are getting a bit fatter, I am not sure how many more we can try out) The Breakfast Cottage 6 Eggstraordinary Café BLVD Café Max's Table Willow's Café Toasted Mango Café Anita's Restaurant Blu Island Bistro Word of Mouth The Breakfast House Sun Garden Café Sunnyside Café Rosemary & Thyme Millie's Restaurant The Reserve Retreat Café Evergreen Another Broken Egg Café Green Zebra First Watch Station 400 Fresh Start ================== review here below ================== Seated fairly quickly considering the place was packed. A group of 7 sucked down 'waiting' chairs and a table, but we were quickly accommodated. NO problem. OH still got a parking spot in their lot.....FREE and safe in Sarasota. (make me happy and sets the tone - I hate paying for parking or getting tickets) Our server was prompt and pleasant. Coffee and waters never past half full or room temp. Powerful brew.....note to self go easy and I won't start perspiring and twitching from the caffeine!!! A small pecan or almond cookie is a nice touch. My wife got the ShakShuka which is Israeli poached eggs in tomato sauce served with a chopped salad (you can get fruit) & bread (pita). There was a nice an powerful hot sauce that was pretty nice and flavorful. She like the tomato sauce and the salad got a few mmms and yummy scores. Pita was also seconds fresh and very nice. OF note because we are doing "Eggs Benedict" and the like with poached eggs.....the eggs are a primary criteria. This dish was wonderfully cooked and the sauce was great....however it was SO nice and hot when the probably perfectly cooked poached eggs were added.........the yokes were SOLID and hard boiled when they were being eaten at the table?? They got overcooked from the kitchen to the table. (I have no idea what the solution is for this. maybe floating the pita bread in the middle and putting the egg on top of it so it does not take on any more heat??? Or maybe on the side to be added tableside?? Or cooked (undercooked) and hope for a soft poached eggs result? My poached eggs with spinach on a slice of marble rye 'toast' bread with hollandaise sauce was my closest to Eggs Benedict entry as I could find. Almost a Florentine without a tomato or etc. No ham option which I would like to suggest as 'traditional' (I did see ham on another egg option so its in store. Lox is just not a choice for me as a fish and egg deal has not been agreeable to my palate. Prosciutto also not comparable to a Canadian ham either) So the eggs were poached and PERFECT!!!!! The spinach steamed/sauté lightly and was also great. The hollondaise sauce was tasty but not sour tangy as many are. A VERY respectable sauce!!! My only gripe is that the 'marbled rye toast' bread was NOT toasted, but simply a very nice sliced soft bread. Awesome for a Rueben or some other great sandwich but at the bottom of wet spinach, egg and juices, and a hollandaise sauce, it became a wet bread paste and there was a fairly thick and large slice to boot. I would have preferred two TOASTED English muffins OR half the 1 inch thick bread slice of this marbled rye and then TOASTED IT so the spinach and eggs and hollandaise sauce sat on top. so on the poached eggs/eggs benedict scale its a 7/10. A nice product and a very good effort!!! These guys are on the best of list for breakfast and lunch if in the Sarasota downtown area. Give them a try for breakfast OR lunch it's a winner!!!

We had after church brunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. We heard that the fish and chips are good and they were. The menu was very appealing and the service was great. We only had a 5 minute wait for a table. Our server, Taylor, was very helpful and attentive. I also had the Ceasar salad and it was very good. Cloth napkins--classy!

I got to taste some of this amazing authentic New York food. It doesn't get better than this!

Friendly staff. Wonderful, authentic Italian food. Tastes like my grandfather made it. I love this place. Definitely will come here again!

First time visiting there just decided to walk in and check it out I must say the food is fantastic ....the bartender James was very knowledgeable he made it very pleasant for me about the food we talked about my family coming for dinner he said anything we need he will do for you I never felt so well taken care of he's definitely a keeper will see you again James sir reserve a table family of four make sure you have my Opus One..

When I first walked in, I waited for over 10 minutes for SOMEONE...ANYONE to assist me with the piece of cake that I wanted from the glassed-in pastry display area and a small bottle of wine. Apparently, you won't get served unless you HAVE A SEAT. (Then how can I point out which cake slice that I'd like...much less KNOW THE NAME of that one piece of cake that didn't look like the rest of the individual cake slices. I was about to just order the wine and leave. LUCKILY, AFTER I TOLD SOMEONE OF MY FRUSTRATION and they told me they'd bring it to me and to take a seat, I met a young man named Marius. Marius was our waiter for Valentine's Day. He was kind and gave us WONDERFUL SERVICE. There was a waitress with frizzy auburn hair pulled into a bun, she interrupted me as I was telling him "Happy Valentine's Day" and was complimenting him for his professionalism that MANY PEOPLE LACK. They are LUCKY to have him work for them. The other employees were unhelpful and seemed to have angry and jealous looks on their faces with acts of unprofessionalism. If it weren't for Marius and his charm, I wouldve left SO MANY TIMES.

Appetizers were super huge. Sauce was good-my measure for any Italian. Got waiter who couldn't speak much English which resulted in worse service than he intended.
