"The Azar’s are an absolute joy to work with for catered food service. Not only are they cheerful, flexible and creative, the food - both ethnic and traditional American - was wonderful, and their prices are very competitive. Everyone raved about the coffee break and lunch service they provided for our recent workshop. I believe they are still getting referrals from that. Spokane is fortunate to be able to call on the Azars for catering."

Thanks again for the great service you provided for the "Just Clusters" workshop in March.

Victor & Viola,

You two and your team do a great job every day, but today was extra special. The treats along the waiting line were such a smart touch -- and so delicious, as was all the food. We are indeed fortunate to be blessed with your service, thank you!
Best of the holidays to you and yours,
