Not only was the food delicious but the customer care was top notch. Food was delivered to my car with no waiting (we had called earlier in the day). When we got it home, it was well packaged and hot. The salad was fresh and a delightful mix of salad greens and fresh vegetables. The bread was warm and delicious. The Three Meat Penne flavorful with lots of meat and a well seasoned sauce . My husband and I shared an entree, and the other went in the freezer. IN all a perfect ending to the day, with no dishes to wash! THANK YOU! And even though it was really hard to pass up this time... the chocolate hazel cake is delicious too! Will get it next time.
