  First of all, Claire's at the Depot has become my family's absolute favorite restaurant. Every single item on their menu is delicious, and they put a lot of thought into serving ingredients that are fresh, seasonal, and local. We served filet mignon and crab cakes as our two plated dinner options at our wedding, and our guests RAVED about both dishes. The passed hors d'oeuvres were also fantastic, and the precision and care the staff took when serving our guests and the wedding party was beyond what we expected. The wedding party was involved in pictures during the cocktail hour, but Claire's staff brought trays of food and drinks so we didn't miss out on the wonderful food. They also made sure my husband and I ate during the reception even though we were busy making rounds at all of the tables and enjoying our lively dance floor!
  
  Also, the planning process with Claire's was so enjoyable it didn't feel like work. Donna is an amazing contact for all of the back and forth questions (which I had on a regular basis!), and Claire herself met with us twice to make sure the menu was perfect (we also received a complimentary tasting). Pattie was our catering captain, and working with her was such a pleasure. She put all of my anxieties at ease before the weekend even arrived, and made me even more comfortable at the reception itself, making sure every detail was taken care of. I felt like the staff working our reception were also our guests because they were so gracious and excited to be there with us. No other catering company compares. I recommend Claire's at the Depot with gusto, and you absolutely must go for brunch, lunch or dinner!!

  Claire's at the Depot provided the catering for my Son's rehearsal dinner on July 22, 2011. I worked with Donna setting up the menu. She was organized and extremely knowledgeable. She listened to what I wanted and was helpful when choosing our menu and guiding us to a delicious meal. The food was everything I hoped for and more. It was beautifully arranged and the staff was delightful to work with the night of the event. I am very grateful to Claire's for making this a wonderful evening for my family!

  Three words: Best Food EVER!
  
  From the first time that we sat down with Claire to discuss the food for our wedding it was so obvious how passionate she was about creating great food. We were able to put together our entire menu from scratch (with some suggestions from Claire & her wonderful team) which was a huge plus for two self-proclaimed foodies.
  
  We received raving compliments on the food - it was not your standard wedding fare. From our experience, you don't usually remember the food at a wedding...however, this does NOT hold true for our wedding because it was such a hit! We even brought some specialty cheeses in for our cocktail hour and Claire was so excited and served them perfectly...in her words, "they respect cheese."
  
  It is also nice that Claire's is a restaurant that we will be able to go back to to rekindle our wedding memories. Thanks a million, Claire's!!

  Claire listened to our ideas and helped us design a perfect menu for our wedding. The food was NOT wedding food---it was like dining in a fine restaurant. All of the staff was fantastic and made the event run smoothly.

  First, the food was WONDERFUL! I've been to lots of weddings where the food was just ok, or tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave. Not so with Claire's. The staff were professional and very helpful. They even brought some of our passed appetizers out to us while we were taking pictures during the cocktail hour! Donna, the catering manager was instrumental in helping us craft our menu. We received many comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed our meal!
