The team at Absolutely Delicious catered a retirement ceremony at my workplace today and they absolutely killed it! The team was extremely professional, open, and friendly.We started with a traditional ceasar salad which was tasty. We then progressed to their Filet Diane, a peppercorn crusted filet topped with mushrooms . For the sides they provided their ginger honey glazed carrots and mashed potatoes which featured a lemon oregano vinaigrette. The carrots were tender and sweet and made a great flavor offset to the beef and the lemon addition (something I would never think to do) provided a delicious and unique twist to the potatoes. The team working the event was prompt in their attention to detail and removing and setting new plates in between courses and were able to do so without disrupting the flow of the event. If you're looking for a caterer for your events you should definitely give them a try!

It really pains me to leave them a not so great review. Nidia was so wonderful to work with in the beginning. She was attentive, let us have our tastings. She really made sure we were going to get what we wanted on my big day. i'm not sure if everything went South when someone else took over (she was out sick). But to spend over 10 grand for a catering experience and have a turn out the way it did is absolutely not acceptable. And it was far from delicious. During our tastings everything was wonderful. We came to the decision of chicken piccata.. when it was served to us it was breaded with plenty of sauce and just perfectly tender chicken. I was super confident that they would be able to deliver that same quality of food for my wedding day. They were on time and professional but the quality of the food was nowhere near what we tasted. A few of my uncles said they couldn't cut their chicken with a knife.. and therefore did not eat. My mother-in-law was super intent on having coffee served so we got the add on of the coffee service. No one was offered coffee, when she asked for a cup it was delivered to her with no creamer, sugar nor a spoon. My chicken was fairly tough as well. I never got a salad which really would've helped me on my day to have something to eat since the chicken was not very good.

We had our wedding ceremony here on September 3, 2021. We had 100 guests. This venue is absolutely beautiful! The entry is grand and ample parking is available. The Venue responds quickly to questions and worked well with my vendors (Cake and DJ). We had our ceremony in the Gold Room upstairs. Our reception was downstairs in the Crystal Room. Wow!! It's was so beautiful and everyone repeatedly complimented the decor. This is definitely an amazing place to get married! Shannon was so sweet and helpful. She used my preferred flowers and was super to work with. Our Banquet Manager also stayed diligent, organized and constantly checked in on us! The serving staff was quick, efficient and helpful. This really was a great crew! I am so grateful for them.The food provided by Absolutely Delicious Catering at the Venue was wonderful. We had several guests comment on how delicious and tasty it was. We had the poblano chicken, garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. I would absolutely eat this again if I could. It really was delicious!Overall, our wedding was perfect and BEAUTIFUL! I am glad that I chose this venue and really appreciated the staff.

Best catering in San Antonio. I was married almost 4 years ago and my guests still talk about the food. Everyone has said my wedding has been the best they've been to (probably because of the food)

Their name says it all, Absolutely Delicious comes from family and love--and you can see that in the quality of the food that they produce and the staff that they inquire. The work ethics of the internal staff comes from the passion behind the owner. Veronica, has instilled her vision, and her love for catering into each one of her key staff members, and her drive shines through all her employees. When searching for a caterer my biggest worry of having a sit-down dinner was eating a cold meal. They are one of two caterers in San Antonio that have multiple portable ovens; which allows them to never serve a cold plate. This was a huge relief to me as I have been to some weddings trying to muster up enough courage to chew the cold chicken. I had the pleasure of working with Gina when booking the details of my wedding, and she then placed me in the hands of Rene. The two of them made sure that every detail was accounted for when ensuring a stress-free wedding. As a bride make sure that you have every detail in writing. Sometimes the wedding day buzz can catch up to you, and small details may be left out. There were some things that I thought I had discussed during our walk thru, but on the day of my thoughts were overlooked. Regardless, my guests raved about the food and the service! From cocktail hour, all the way to breaking down the venue, everything was Absolutely Delicious!

I feel a passionate need to RAVE about our wedding reception at The Crystal Room on September 29, 2018. Absolutely Delicious catered our oldest daughter's wedding (on the River-Walk) in July 2009. So, the choice of The Crystal Room was an easily-made decision for the next daughter. However....our 2018 experience exceeded every expectation! From our first encounter with Nidia Morgan I knew the event would be fabulous. Nidia was highly engaging, knowledgeable, flexible, and a wonderful planning resource. She asked all the right questions to learn about the wedding party & the guests - then offered perfect suggestions for the menu, drinks, room set-up, linens, and reception logistics. Nidia's communications were excellent, she responded quickly to every phone call and email - accommodating every need. We love Nidia! The actual event experience was even more delightful! Rene Guzman, event manager, delivered extreme hospitality to every facet of the evening. During the reception, many guests shared their highest compliments for Rene and the staff. The next day, I received several emails and text messages of praise for the venue....and for Rene and the staff. Even the DJ shared that he had never felt so welcomed and supported as he did at The Crystal Room. (Did I mention that Rene literally saved the day by rescuing a critical cake problem?!)This review wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention the food. It was, well.... absolutely delicious! Thank you, Nidia, for recommending the chicken/steak duet and bravo, bravo, bravo to the chef! (At my table, a guest finished the spring salad and said, "Oh my....if this salad is an indicator, this meal will be fantastic!").On behalf of the newlyweds and their families, our deepest appreciation and a standing ovation to a five-star venue and a staff.
