Some kind words from clients…

Fresh Maryland Crabcakes from New Leaf Catering hit the spot!

These folks catered our wedding at a home in La Quinta- it was really amazing. Friendly and courteous staff, delicious food, flawless execution. Many thanks to the team for making our special day that much better.

Scott and the team at New Leaf were very communicative, friendly and open to answering any and all questions. His food was delicious and looked gorgeous. Our friend's company gifted us the catering in the end, but based on our experience at the tasting, we'd highly recommend New Leaf.
