    The only one I've had first-hand experience with is Catering by Laurie.  Overall, I wasn't really impressed.  I don't know if it was the specific menu that was selected or if my impression would translate to all her dishes, but I felt like it was on the lower end of the scale in terms of quality and presentation.  And everything sort of tasted the same (very heavy on the lime and cilantro).

    If you haven't looked into them already, you might check out Popp Catering.  I've had their food a couple of times and have always enjoyed it.

    Good luck!

    Bistro Catering in Milwaukie is great, and Julie, the owner, is super friendly and really cares!

    I have heard that the Bomber in Milwaukie has great food at cheap prices.  I  can recommend GG's Deli in Milwaukie for good prices and great taste.

    Ditto! She is the best! We are going with her too. She is fun, funny and puts up a great menu for a great price. I would for sure check her out before you made your decision.

    call Lanning at Portland's White House Bed and Breakfast. They are a bed and breakfast but Lanning is the owner/chef and he does off site catering. AMAZING FOOD!! guests are always raving about it.
