  I have ate at this cafe many times and their gourmet sandwiches and craft beer is awesome! Ralph and Ava's is partnered with our wedding venue, The Sycamore at Mallow Run. We chose them after doing a tasting with them for their breakfast for dinner feast (yes, we did breakfast for dinner for our evening wedding!). The food at the tasting was so good! They even helped us tweak the menu to get it closer to our budget. Toni was an absolute pleasure to work with. Extremely friendly and always available to answer any questions. They lost stars due to when the actual wedding day came. Unfortunately (I believe due to the venue "coordinator") the hors d'oeuvres didn't get set up in the cocktail space as they were supposed to for "cocktail hour"... instead it was set up after the reception space opened up causing dinner to be served at 8:30, almost 30 minutes past schedule. I'm not sure if it was the rush to get dinner out, but the dinner was served cold. The fried potatoes tasted like they had been sitting for HOURS, the pancakes, eggs, and sausage were cold, and the biscuits & gravy was totally different than what we tasted in person. It was such a let down after paying SO much per plate, having a great tasting and after stressing how if we are going to serve breakfast for a wedding dinner, it had to be ON POINT. And it was FAR from that. We had another caterer we did a tasting with who was amazing as well and actually less expensive. But since we enjoyed communicating with Toni so well, we decided to pay a little more for the hospitality. I regret that now. Unfortunately, Ralph and Ava's lost the majority of their tip that night because of the mishaps and I just hated that because like I said, Toni was such a delight. If it were not for her, they would have only received 2 stars for the food. I will continue to be a customer of their Cafe, but not of their catering service.
