Jeffrey Chrystal Catering - Youngstown

I sub as a server for them. Wonderful people to work for!

I did not have direct involvement or interaction with the catering service. But I 'm here to give an honest review of the food.I 've been to a few weddings that they 've catered. In Youngstown, for some reason, people seem to think Crystal 's is decent food. I vehemently disagree. The food is incredibly bland and overpriced. The flavor profile is meant for an old person who can 't handle spice. It 's your typical I use butter for flavoring kind of meal. The world has expanded their palate, and this food is stuck in the 1950 's. So, just don 't do it.

They catered our sons grad party. The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful! Definitely recommend them!

Jeff and Nora catered Passover for Temple El Emeth this year. It was FANTASTIC!! The food, the service, everything was over the top.All was made from scratch with attention to detail.Passover cooking is not an easy feat. Jeff, you surpassed all others.

The Lobster Night was an absolutely horrible experience. Cold air blowing in a tent set up in a parking lot. I was served scallops that did not have one dtop of moisture. They had been prepared in advance and just placed on the plate when the order came through. I had to send my first plate back because it wasn’t even remotely warm. The risotto was cold and soupy, not “creamy”. I regretted having made the reservation as soon as I realized we were going to be eating in a the parking lot if a good club and not actually inside or an actual building. NEVER AGAIN!
