Vic's Catering of Filipiania
Event....A Disaster
Anthem Opinions received a critique
from an attendee at the Filipiana Independence Day event recently celebrated at
Anthem Center's Grand Ballroom on June 2nd.
Unfortunately, it appears that Vic's
Catering was far from stellar in their performance during that
event.
It has also been learned that a
petition was commenced, that to date, 40+ residents have signed to protest this
experience.
In the spirit of keeping our
community informed, here are a number of comments from various club members who
attended the event, which were quite disturbing as to the future of Vic's
Catering:
1) There was only one
bartender serving drinks who had great difficulty counting back change with more
than 25 people in line.
2) There were
only 9 servers to serve 320 guests. Servers were very unorganized, incompetent,
and sloppily dressed. Servers dropped two
full trays of main entrees within five minutes. It was obvious servers were
unskilled and lacked proper training.
3) Started serving salad at
6:00PM, our table was forgotten and last to receive salad at 6:45 (table
28).
4) Requested dinner rolls with
salad 4 times.
5) Salad was very skimpy with
only a few lettuce leaves, 2 slices of cucumber and one slice of
tomato.
6) Had to request water
pitcher refill 5 times.
7) Chicken was extremely small
portioned over a small amount of sweet potato. Pork Chop menu indicated two,
but only received one.
8) Several complained
salmon was overcooked and did not taste fresh.
9) It took 2-1/2 hours between
serving salad and cake dessert.
10) Club members paid $40 for
this event of which $30.00 went toward the food portion. This is overpriced for
the poor service and quantity/quality of food.
11) This was over a $9,600
income event for Vics...they failed badly.
Filipiana Club Communications
Chairman, Josie Baker, has asked those who attended that event to send her
additional comments in order to correct these problems for any future
functions.
Within that contents of
that email, Ms. Baker states:
We are obligated to use
the service of Vic's Catering for all catering needs at the Anthem Ballroom. If
there are things that need to be tweaked, the service providers and other
people responsible must hear from us.
