Recently, I attended a wedding that was catered by Storm at the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG). They're the exclusive caterer of the WAG, Millennium Centre and Fort Gibraltor. Foods at weddings can be quite the disappointment due to crazy logistics and volumes at these events. But I have to say that I was impressed with the food. The appys consisted of mushroom bruschetta, vegetable wontons w/ plum suace, Thai chicken skewers, California roll, goat cheese with fresh herbs on tomato slices and a panchetta item. Overall, the appys were cooked properly and tasted good; an average to good showing here. I was impressed that the chicken skewers were quite juicy (and unusually large).
The bread basket was pretty good as I ate 3 rolls to tie me over till dinnertime. They were the usual, whole wheat, white and pumpernickel dinner buns but tasted quite fresh!
The Roasted Tomato Bisque with Puff Pastry Cheese Straw was really good despite the fact that it was a really hot summer night. The baby green and beet chip salad with sautéed red onion & goat cheese served with a calamata vinaigrette was a delicious salad. The salad was fresh and was not wilted. I loved that they didn't cheap out on the goat cheese as so many kitchens wimp out on that. The beet chip sounded interesting but really, just tasted like a chip from those vegetable chip assortments - I would've preferred roasted beets instead.
The main was basil pesto, smoked mozzarella & braised leek stuffed chicken with a sun dried tomato cream sauce. It also came with potatoes, asparagus, red peppers, zucchini and shredded beets. I liked everything about this dish except for the cream sauce as it was too rich and heavy for me. Not that I would've wanted the proverbial brown sauce on chicken. Overall, a great dish as the chicken was super moist (pretty amazing feat as the whole reception was running about an hour behind so I'm sure that threw the kitchen's timing off). The vegetables were all cooked perfectly.
The dessert was a Chocolate Bomb drizzled with White Chocolate with Raspberry Coulis & Chantilly Cream. It tasted more like a gelato as it wasn't quite an ice cream. It was a nice dessert - better than a cake!
Service was decent - food came out pretty quickly to all the tables. The bartenders were efficient in making drinks as I recall visiting them pretty often!
Overall, good caterers as the food here was on par or even better than what I've ever had at the Fairmont or Fort Garry events. -

I too was recently at a wedding at the WAG catered by Storm. I have to say I was not terribly impressed. The meal was alright (pork with some sort of blueberry sauce, grilled vegetables and potatoes), but the ice cream (or whatever it was) served for dessert was not very good at all. It was full of ice crystals like stuff you forget about in the freezer for a year. Also, I found their mini poutines to be lack lustre and the pink in the middle hamburger sliders left me somewhat concerened about food safety.
Oh, and the redheaded waitress needs to check her shitty attitude at the door (no, I wasn't rude to her - I know waiting tables is not easy and I'm therefore very polite to servers, bartenders, etc. This girl was just rude!).
