Feliz Navidad

It's a great day and my team is working hard on the Christmas Gathering Celebration Buffet. For most, this is a special occasion and they only go this big once a year, and our goal is to send them away happy and full!

My crew at the Holiday Inn Harbourview have been working for 8 hours creating rice krispy sculptures, fruit carvings and making a fresh and modern menu.

Food is what brings the family together and family is what makes the holidays special!

VIP Client Luncheon

Picture this...110 guests in our Lake City Ballroom, eagerly awaiting to sample a 3 course menu. The lunch consisted of intricate food, a la minute service and took the behind the scenes action and brought it centre stage.
