Foxhall Catering

I found Foxhall Catering on Unilocal and am back to give a rave review. Eron and Sarah catered my daughter’s bat mitzvah celebrations this past weekend and I cannot say enough good things about them. We used them for both a buffet dinner for 50 and a dessert celebration for 160 and people kept coming up to me and complementing me on the food. In all aspects, Eron and Sarah were responsive, helpful with suggestions, open to working within our guidelines and made delicious food and desserts. In particular, the milkshake bar was a huge hit with our guests. Can’t wait to use them for our next event.

Whoa. Came up to the address shown in the Unilocal as the location and rang the buzzer. Guy with a beard answered– didn’t totally seem like a caterer. He offered to grill me a Kobe beef burger on his patio for $ 10 cash. Super friendly, and full service! Made for a super good and intimate time with the kind chef/​server/​owner. Only complaint was the wait time: probably spent an hour before eating, waited for the guy to go get more propane from the Safeway. All in all, took 90 min for the burger, which is hard to fit in a daily schedule. Would totally go back and eat with that interesting, but seems pretty much not a real catering shop. Charging sales tax? No… Health inspected? Maybe? Legitimate business? Uh??? Super awesome burger and great conversation. Yes indeed!

Foxhall Catering is perfection! They catered our Rehearsal Dinner for 24 in our home. Chef Eron is so calming and commanding in the kitchen.
Chef Eron and Sara created a Greek Feast for us with passed hours d’oeuvres and a buffet dinner. The menu was creative and the presentation beautiful. They also navigated our dietary restrictions without a blink. Our foodie guests raved about each dish. We loved the feta appetizers and grilled lamb chops. The Panna Cotta with wild berries was incredible! They are such an engaging team that everyone was stopping by the kitchen to chat (and ask for a business card.)
He did a site visit prior to our event. We chose to have them take care of everything. I didn’t need to think about cocktail napkins or stemware, etc. Chef and his team made it a stress-​free evening for us. The clean up was exceptional, too.
I highly recommend Foxhall Catering. I am a L’Academie de Cuisine graduate, and I say with confidence that they are the best caterer in our area and very well-​priced. Better book them now! We are planning a larger event with Chef Eron and Sara soon.

Last August Foxhall Catering did our son’s wedding. He and his now wife wanted to get married at home in the back yard and wanted an unusual end of August meal. Chef Eron and Sarah worked with them every step of the way. They had handmade artisanal pizzas, beautiful salads and roasted vegetables, all organic and local! And most excellent hors d’oeuvres…and desserts of hand pies made with in season local fruits… so unique and SUPERB!!! People were raving about the food! They made the whole experience flow and stressless! Thank you so much Chef Eron and Sarah and all your wonderful staff! You all made the evening magical…

I found Foxhall Catering searching Unilocal for a neighborhood caterer. We recently moved to the Palisades and I was planning to have a small birthday party for my fiancé. Chef Eron was very personable over the phone and asked to come by the house to see the space. His excitement about our small party attracted me to go with Foxhall Catering. I explained that I was interested in a Spanish Tapas themed menu; when the draft menu came back it wasn’t exactly the Spanish Tapas I had in mind, but the food sounded delicious and I figured these were dishes that the Chef knew well and it would be better to go with his recommended menu. That being said, I’m positive Chef would have worked with us if we wanted a new draft menu.
We had a cocktail party for about 13 people with pit beef sliders, truffled grilled cheese bites, lamb loin medallion on crostini, smoked trout with horseradish cream and chili rubbed shrimp on pineapple and cornbread. Our guests said the truffled grilled cheese was their favorite. I loved the smoked trout, personally!
Chef Eron also came up with a speciality cocktail for the evening, the Bourbon Smash. This was a huge hit with our guests! We bought so much beer and wine and it was hardly touched.
Chef Eron’s wife baked a flourless chocolate cake with bourbon whipped cream for the dessert. This was good but I probably should have ordered an actual birthday cake for the display/​fun factor!
A little info on the day of the party:
Chef Eron called me the afternoon of the party to check in and arrived early with his wife, Sarah, to get set up. I was really impressed with how they blended into the background, yet were always there anticipating our every need. Sarah pitched in with anything and everything. She poured drinks, mixed the speciality cocktail, refreshed food, cleaned dishes, cleared dishes and offered seated guests drinks. Sarah and Chef were a total delight and seemed relaxed and happy. When they left we had zero dishes to do and our kitchen was clean. Thank you, Chef Eron & Sarah!
The next time around I would provide my own platters and glassware. It was incredibly helpful that Foxhall Catering rented all of this for us and it made me confident that the Chef would have everything he needed but the next time around I would want to provide some nice pieces for him to serve on.
I asked Chef Eron to limit the amount of cooking done in our kitchen. Because our house is small I didn’t want the heat and smells in our entertaining space. I think this may have effected the food a little bit. The rolls used with the pit beef sliders and the cornbread with the shrimp didn’t taste as fresh as they could have and I think this is because of my prep request.
I would highly recommend the speciality cocktail. This was really fun! :)
Overall, I have to rate the experience working with Chef Eron and Foxhall Catering 5 stars because we had a very successful and enjoyable party. There wasn’t a single hiccup. I thought the cocktail party would run from 7:30p-10:30p but it didn’t end until 1:30a and our guests ended up dancing the night away in our living room! It’s safe to say everyone had a great time! Thanks again Chef Eron & Sarah!

Marvelous. I have never used a caterer before, but my soon to be parents-​in-​law were kind enough to host our 20-​person engagement party at their house. I wanted to make it as easy as possible on them, and not have them cook and clean. I contacted Foxhall Catering after reading the positive reviews online, and received a prompt quote and a request for dietary restrictions.
This was the really amazing part: between all of the guests there were at least two dozen different food allergies including most major proteins, and they were easily able to make a menu that was safe for everyone to eat. It was so fun to be able to say to people «Don’t worry, you won’t be allergic to anything.»
They came and looked at the space in advance so they knew what they had to work with. The day of, Sarah and her two helpers showed up on time and set up a little space for themselves to work. The food was served on time and the courses were timed nicely.
The food was DELICIOUS. The beef was soft and moist and I can’t get the dessert out of my mind. It was the best I have ever had, and I am a dessert fiend. My guests were so impressed by the food.
They cleaned up thoroughly and you couldn’t even tell they had ever been there. I opted to have them bring dishes so there was absolutely no clean-​up needed. The price was what I would expect for a catered event, probably on the low side.
I was very happy and would 100% use Foxhole Catering again for an event. I give them my highest recommendation. I only wish that we were doing our wedding in the DC area so we could use them for the big event itself.

Seriously is as good as it gets. We happened upon Foxhall Catering and Chef Eron Picus by chance just a couple of months ago while researching online for a caterer for both our yearly office holiday party and an open house our office was having a week later. The open house party literally just ended 30 minutes ago, and i felt compelled to immediately write a review. Both events were above and beyond anything we could have asked for. For our office party, we asked for food easy to eat in a limo because we were renting a stretch to entertain our staff in before going to a show. Every single thing was delicious and a hit with everyone. Tonight’s event was even better. Chef Pincus and his wife are friendly, accommodating, creative, punctual and very fair in their pricing. The amount of food was perfect, and once again it was delicious. Every single person who attended raved about the food. I will definitely be using Foxhall Catering for all of our future events, and I highly recommend you do as well. We really could not be happier.

I had to plan a small cocktail party for my boss at her house with about a week’s notice. I found Foxhall Catering via Unilocal,read the reviews, went to their website, and gave them a call. I found it neat that I spoke directly with Chef Eron. I explained that it was a small gig and told him of some preferences that the guests have, and he provided me with a concise menu very quickly. (Another company I got a quote from sent me pages and pages of choices, and while it looked good, it was too much to sort through).
Fast forward to the evening of the event. Chef Eron arrived with his partner Sarah (also his wife). Also pretty cool: the chef is AT your party. Eron was prepping the hors d’oeuvres most of the time while Sarah plattered and served around the room. She was extremely pleasant and genuinely looked happy to be there. The presentations were nice, but not opulent, but it was the flavors that were the big winner. Everything was delicious, and a few items were exceptional.
EVERYONE raved about the food. We ordered six appetizers and two desserts, which left everyone very satisfied. My favorite was the Vietnamese Beef Salad with cilantro, served as a one bite portion in a spoon. The Roast Pork and Broccoli Rabe Sliders with Cirtus Mayo were outstanding, with just just the right hint of rabe (too often overpowering). The Lemon Mousse with Blueberries and Almond Tuille was also fabulous.
We provided our own wine and beer, but they graciously provided a couple ice buckets to chill it down in. Sarah was very good about refilling the wine as needed.
Bottom line: my boss was thrilled by how good the food was and how perfect Eron and Sarah were in staffing the party (mainly in that they carefully stayed in the background most of the time, except to serve and take care of the cleanup). She indicated that she would definitely use their services again, likely at Christmastime. Can’t get much better of a review than that.

Foxhall Catering catered my daughter and new son-in-law’s 65 person garden wedding reception this past Memorial Day weekend. We were thrilled with Chef Eron’s professionalism, creativity, communication, clarity, thoughtfulness and care throughout the whole process. Oh, and did I mention the food was absolutely delicious! The halibut entrée was particularly spectacular — many compliments from our guests. (When Chef Eron suggested fish, I was hesitant after experiencing the look, taste and texture of other catered fish. But Eron assured me of his fool-​proof method to keep the fish moist and delicious. And it was.) I also loved that he staged the event from our garage, which kept our kitchen free. His staff was invisible throughout — although I couldn’t help snap a photo of the amazing activity in our garage. Everyone loved pastry chef Sarah, Eron’s wife, magnificent and beautiful desserts. Chef Eron told me to relax and enjoy myself, and I absolutely did!

Foxhall Catering catered a private rooftop birthday dinner I hosted for 16. They were organized, gracious, and incredibly friendly and patient, even as I threw them curveballs like a surprise extra guest and the event space not being ready on time. They handled everything extremely graciously and professionally. The food was great and creating the customized menu was a fun and simple process done by email. They also offered a good value for the quality of food and service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

I highly recommend Foxhall Catering. I’ve used Chef Eron and Sarah for 2 events recently – a holiday party for nearly 100 and a school benefit of 50. Chef and Sarah created delicious, beautiful food for each event. They have a knack for listening to what you need, working within your budget and truly excelling at what they deliver. Each spread was unique and the food was clearly enjoyed! If you’re considering using Foxhall Catering, consider no more. They are wonderful and you won’t be disappointed.

We have had two formal events catered by Foxhall Catering in this past year — an engagement party for 100 and a benefit house concert for 50. Both events were superbly executed and met the unique demands of each special occasion.
The food was Divine. The presentations were exquisite. And the Foxhall team under the leadership of Chef Eron, worked so smoothly and collaboratively, that at times you did not notice they were there — yet, everything was taken care of beautifully and seamlessly.
Working with Chef Eron has been an effortless experience in creating the best event for each of the occasions that we have hosted. He is innovative, creative and caring.
We often host events for 15 to 100 people and will definitely call Foxhall Catering for our next event.
I believe that Foxhall Catering is the best kept secret in DC, a secret that is soon sure to explode.

chef eron catered a wonderful party for me last evening. he and his staff were a delight to work with. the food was an inviting mix of flavors and my guests were raving. for me, it was a luxury to have such a professional staff take the worries out of hosting and actually enjoy the perfect evening.

Eron is a truly talented chef and great caterer. I’ve hired him a couple of times and have always been completely satisfied. He is creative yet flexible and comes through every time. Highly recommended.

I know this review is a little dated, but Eron’s Epicure wasn’t on Unilocal at the time (i don’t think Unilocal existed at the time). Eron worked very closely with me to develop just the right menu for my Bar Mitzvah. Even though it’s been over 10 years I still have vivid memories of the egg rolls, asian noodles, and other delicious treats he created for me that day. If you are looking for a chef who is passionate about his work and loves providing unforgettable food experiences I would recommend «Eron’s Epicure».
