Paradise Cuisine Catering at The Landing

Allen Davis and the team at Paradise Cuisine are WONDERFUL! They came highly reccommended to us by many people and venors in the area. In December, our original caterers fell through (the restaurant closed), and we called Paradise Cuisine in hope that they would be able to accommodate us on short notice for our March wedding. Allen responded promptly with an email and phone call and was excited to help us with both our wedding and rehearsal dinner. He and I both agreed that it was fate that brought us together! He was a godsend and was always very helpful, easy to work with, prompt, professional and as nice as could be!

At our events, he and his team were great and on top of everything! We loved Allen, his sister and partener, Mary; and one of the bartenders, Colleen! They were just amazing and made everything SO easy. Of course, the food was great too! I especially LOVED the kobe beef meatloaf we had at the wedding. I could eat it everyday for the rest of my life! I also loved the crab cake appetizers and the grilled veggies.

Again, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paradise Cuisine, Allen Davis, and his amazing team. I understand why they came so highly recommended, and I would encourage anyone in the Florida Panhandle to use them to cater thier wedding!

Allen and his team at Paradise Cuisine provided the food for our rehearsal dinner 0f approximately 85 people on 3/23/12. Allen was more than a caterer as he helped us with every aspect of the event. His professionalism, knowledge and "calm" was so appreciated.
He and his team arrived and provided the best services from from set-up to clean-up. They were present and available (but not overshadowing) throughout the event. It was so nice to relax, visit with guests, and not worry about the food service.
The food was wonderful and got rave reviews from the guests. I was expecially partial to the shrimp boil, but understand the key lime pie was a favorite of others.
It is without reservation that I recommend Allen and his team for your event.

Loved them. So organized. Great food. Great staff. Great presentation. Would recommend them to anyone. Allen the owner was a pleasure to work with.

Thank you to everyone at Paradise Cuisine. Allen and his staff are amazing to work with. Allen went above and beyond to make my daughter's wedding reception perfect. He listened to her ideas and even shared his ideas which made the reception even better! Everyone commented on how wonderful the food was. We still talk about how wonderful the food was. We would not have been able to do all of the wedding planning without Allen's help. He went out of his way to help us. Thank you again!

I dream of Allen's food; the fish tacos, the crab claws, the coconut shrimp! The team went over the top to make our reception the best it could be and more. Our guests went back for seconds and the food just kept coming...Allen and his team were prepared for anything!

I got married in May 2010 down in Destin, FL and Paradise Cuisine was our Caterer! When we went for our taste testing, we were welcomed at the door very nicely! Allen was very specific about telling us about the dishes. The presentation was amazing as well as every single dish! Allen was very open to ideas and very helpful!

For our rehersal dinner, we also used Allen. We had a country boil! Everything was so delicious and the display was very organized and creative!

When our wedding day rolled around we were very excited about the food! We made sure that we were going to be able to eat! My husband and I led the buffet line! The waiters and waitresses were very nice and polite! The presentation and food was phenomenal! The whole night and to this day we always here about how good the food was!

Allen is a very nice man and willing to help you with anything! Allen, my family and I have developed a friendship and still keep in touch with each other! Allen also has a restaurant named Cherry Peppers, which is where we tasted our food. My husband and I will be going back to his restaurant to have some more of his amazing food very soon!

Allen and his team went above and beyond for our reception. They smoothed our the sand for our ceremony and setup the 30 chairs. They came out the day before and we walked through everything. We also visited their restaurant (Cherry Peppers) and sampled their food once we were in town. Everyone raved about the food. We did the Caribbean buffet and enjoyed the coconut shrimp, saucy/tender bbq ribs, and stuffed grouper the most. They brought the cake to each person as they sat and poured the champagne. We had a small reception of 30, but they took such good care of us. I would use them again if I did it all over.

The food was wonderful! We could not ask for better tasting food and the presentation of the food was beautiful. Allen was very nice but can be a little slow to return calls and emails. Overall though, I would recommend them.

Allen is the most flexible caterer in existence:-) My daughter and I went for a tasting and just loved his food, and when she asked him to add mini cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, and fries to the menu, he did not hesitate. However, in the end I was not as impressed with his staff. The food was not hot and the wine was not chilled. I felt that because our wedding was small, that we did not get the attention needed on the day of the event. They were late getting to the site and then had problems setting up (which should not have occurred since they had already done a wedding at that site).

Great food!!!! The only knock was that we had a deal with the alcohol provider that we could return all unused alcohol and Paradise Cuisine opened or chilled all of the alcohol, meaning we couldn't return anything. Other than that, they did a phenomenal job and really helped meet our theme through the food and presentation!

Allen and his entire crew are hands down one of the best along the gulf coast!!

Allen and his staff are amazing! Very personable! Awesome food and they have added a great Venue to their company!!

Paradise Cuisine is one of the top caterers on our vendor list. Allen and his crew are very professional and such a pleasure to work with. Their food is always delicious and their service is impeccable. Paradise Cuisine makes our job as wedding coordinators so much easier because we know they are always going to deliver a top notch product to our clients :)

A guest of mine staying at one of my beach houses decided to throw a 50th wedding anniversary for his parents. The entire family of 50 or so were present and they chose Paradise Cuisine Catering. Afterwards, all I heard about was how great the food and service was ...nothing about the festivities! The entire family was thrilled and Paradise made this event even more special.
