The food was absolutely delicious

Green Spoon catered an event I was speaking at in Evanston. Monica & Maggie did an amazing job with everything. The set up looked beautiful and contemporary. The food was absolutely delicious, everything was excellent, my favorite was the Beet Tartare! All the guests at this event very much enjoyed the food; most people commented on how awesome everything looked and tasted. I highly recommend Green Spoon for your next event.. I will be calling them again for sure!
