Kosher
We prepare Ashkenazic and Sephardic classics and use their influences in modern Northwest cuisine. For shiva meals or brises see the bar mitzvah menu as well.
We are on the approved caterer's list at Conservative Congregation Beth Shalom. Only dairy meals may be prepared.
For the orthodox, we are on the approved caterer's list at Hillel. This provides us with a va'ad supervised kitchen and an elegant, reasonably priced venue for your simcha. We can also bring food from Hillel to your home or business.
The kitchens at Sephardic Bikur Holim and Ezra Bessaroth are also available to us, but only for events at those shuls.
