It’s no secret that cuisine can make or break an event. This autumn, why not try tasty new fare expertly prepared by some of the region’s most highly recommended restaurants, banquet facilities, caterers and catering services? We have a whole menu of choices, just right for your gathering.

Satisfy a Big Appetite

Banquet spaces offering onsite catering are perfect for large gatherings. Because they specialize in hosting big groups, they’re expert at combining fabulous ambience with culinary delights.

The spacious Blaisdell Manor is an elegant Georgian-style mansion, while the tri-level St. Anthony Main Event Center boasts an outdoor deck overlooking the Mississippi River.  Both venues feature on-site catering services by Three Sons Signature Cuisine. Choose from their extensive menu, featuring favorites like Hudson Valley Foie Gras or Basil-Pistachio Pesto Gourmet Pizza.
