Of course we have orders to go during regular business hours. But, we are also "there" at other times. Need a pie? Other dessert? How about a take and bake entree? Having a party and need a snack tray or hor deurves? Want to have a BBQ without having to wrestle around marinating racks of ribs in your fridge? Pot luck at work? Batch of brownies for the school bake sale? How about a sit down dinner with our prime rib that you heat and carve at home? We can do the sides too. Who has to know that you didn't do it yourself? With just a little notice, we will do our best to make your life more creatively delicious. Give us a call or use the contact form. Heat and Eat: Entrees to pop in the oven when you get home from work. Dinner is ready in about 30 minutes. We can do our famous meatloaf with different sauces, our yummy ribs, lasagna, enchiladas, manicotti, a variety of things. We'll package up your choices in the number of servings you need and include heating instructions. As your entree heats, you can have a nice glass of wine while tossing a quick salad or nuking/steaming some veggies. When dinner is done, you toss the pans. Really, what could be better? Great food that hasn't been frozen (unless you request freezing), great prices, we'll do our best to accommodate your choices AND NO POTS TO SCRUB. Prices start at $5.95 per per entree (equivelent to about 5 oz of meat and a serving of taters). If you see something on today's specials that you want later on, call the Cafe and let us know. We'll put together your package and store it or freeze it properly for pickup the next day. Otherwise call at least 24 hours ahead to arrange your weekly menu. Special diet? We are removing all transfats from our menu and will work with you on reduced sodium, low fat, high protein, vegetarian, glycemic index...you name it. Jana's already tried most all of them so we have the recipes! Disclaimer: While we will jump through hoops to make your food yummy, we will NOT exercise for you!! (We do not even exercise for us!) Our portions are generous unless you tell us otherwise, so this is not a weight loss program. Formal Catering: We will work with you to arrange a catering arrangement to meet the needs of your gathering. We can provide servers and bartenders, or we can have your items ready to pick up, or anything in between. We will cater groups as small as 5 people to as large as 200 people. We will bring everything to your site, even if it is a remote photo or film shoot, and we will move locations throughout the catering period if that is required. We will work with you to support any dietary restrictions. While our kitchen is not certified halal or kosher, we will provide creative and tasty alternatives to meat and dairy. Many of the things on our regular menus are available to cater. We also research and provide special items for our catering customers that are not available on our regular or Chef's Selection Menus. Meals include salad and dessert. Call Lori at 520-455-5278, use the Contact Us Form or email info at cafesonoita.com.  Lunch Menu  Dinner Menu Home  Special Events
