I needed a place to cater a small housewarming party that I was having and I looked around and finally settled on Ready To Eat. The menu was really extensive, and better yet, I didn't have to call to get prices and waste time.
I placed an order with Joseph who was very prompt in all of his responses. I asked him to choose what the thought might be good based on very few criteria. Got everything picked out perfectly, but a few days before the event he tells me they're out of a couple of things that they won't have before my party (who goes that long without ingredients? Not good). So, I ask him to give me some options. He chooses items that are mostly cheese after I already have a huge cheese platter on my order, again, not good. Then he sends me another few choices that I wasn't that pleased with. I look on the main menu again and ask for different choices and he has them. Why didn't he just give me all of them to begin with? That seemed a not very customer friendly thing to do and a time waster.
Anyway, the day of the party I get all of my food delivered and it was really beautifully prepared. I don't think it was totally worth what I paid for it, but it was nicely done and it all tasted good. It was also a huge hit at my party. Everyone loved everything and the large variety was really a nice touch.
I loved the extensive menu and would think about ordering from them again for my next party if I have more cooperation. Really nice food, though!
Very fresh food. I went here because I had a Groupon- it's somewhat expensive. Hot the shrimp salad, which has a great tangy flavor because of the mayo/spice-based sauce. Also the fava bean salad and roasted eggplant; holy cow, what grat burst of flavor: savory and a little smokey, played nicely on the palate.
I have the kale salad in the fridge.

Take-out
I tried twice but not quite Ready To Eat meals for me. My choices, so far, lacks in moisture and salt. Stew or things drenched in a sauce would be the ones to choose. My fried chicken that I was recommended by a nice Irish American guy was just okay sadly.
Fried chicken w/ one side ($14)
– Even after heating up in an oven for 5-10 minutes for 350°F as suggested by the nice guy, the chicken didn't really recovered. Adding some Kosher salt helped the flavor but I could not help on its dryness and last attempt of microwaving it made worse.
– Roasted beets (side)
I am pretty sure it was fantastic when it came out of the oven but what I got was that the outer layer had gotten hard and chewy. Adding some water to it when I heated up in my oven or seal tight and put in a microwave helped a bit but never recover the freshness of beets flavors obviously.
Lamb Meatballs w/ a side
– Three regular size balls. The balls were fine nothing very special. I wish to experience like Carley F. did, "the star of the show."
– Mac&Cheese
It was super dry. Milk at home helped but it was still not happy.
– Roasted yellow squash
It was sweet and soft and the texture from the skin was nice. We enjoyed it a lot. I am still not giving up on them yet. They have so much (maybe too much) to choose from. I am sure there is something makes me smile.
This is what I will do, get anything looks fresh and avoid dried looking ones.
