I want to thank Ludy’s for the amazing job you did at your VIP event in San Francisco last week. The rather demanding client and his guest repeatedly raved about both the food and the service, insisting that–despite their high expectations–the entire event went above and beyond anything they had anticipated, especially the catering. We have worked with every type and level of caterer in the Greater Bay Area, but none of them comes close to Ludy’s. Thanks again, for being the best.
