Had the delicious ham & brie sandwich (w/sliced apple and raspberry dressing), side of fruit salad (multiple melons & berries), and additional side of grilled veggies (yummy carrots & zucchini w/ onion and red pepper). Was light, refreshing, and balanced flavors. Upbeat, fun music and comfortable ambiance. Warm & friendly people & service.

Chive and Thyme catered my wedding and I have to say, everyone was IN LOVE with the food. 4 days later, people are still calling me to tell me how great the food was. In addition, Amy will work hard to stay within whatever price range you prefer and make suggestions. I have been to weddings at country clubs and that food isn't even as good as this. There is something for everyone on the menu - if you are a veggie lover, fish person, or meat eater. Truly superb service and food!

Amazing!! We hired Chive and Thyme for a private party and the food was fantastic. The service they provided was fantastic. They were professional and polite to all of our guests. We will 100% be hiring them again. THANK YOU.

This review is long overdue, but I couldn’t let anymore time pass by without acknowledging how incredible Chive & Thyme is for hosting a private event. Amy and Michelle make an amazing team, along with Sarah who assisted with our party. I worked with Amy from start to finish and she couldn’t have been more helpful in planning my daughter’s special day. The food was beyond delicious. Everything made fresh, to the point that you could smell the brunch and cookies baking. I wish I took pictures because the food displays were beautiful. Between the food, venue and service, everything was top notch!

We used Chive and Thyme to cater two days of a family reunion.  WOW did we make the right choice!  The process was very easy, the food was excellent and everyone (ages 1 to 77) raved over how good everything was.  The presentation was beautiful and the food was delicious.  Bobbie, our server, was exceptional!  She attended to everything with complete professionalism and even filled the role of group photographer so we could all be in the picture.  You will NOT be disappointed if you let them cater your event.  Will definitely visit the restaurant if we are ever back in the area.
