The art of gathering
Three ways to
set an island table.
From a centerpiece everyone gathers around to a beautiful box of little bites, each one travels well to a Mercer Island address.
Canapés
Little bites with plenty of character, passed or set out for island receptions, launches and milestone toasts.
Make it a canapé occasion
Canapé boxes
A little celebration, beautifully boxed. From 12 guests, ideal for intimate island dinners and gifting.
Think inside the boxLocal knowledge
We already know
the drive.
Being based on Mercer Island changes the small things. There is no bridge crossing between our kitchen and your table, which means a grazing table is styled at its freshest and we can arrive early without adding a travel charge to the quote.
Island properties have their own quirks. Steep driveways, long stair runs down to a lake-level deck, and streets where a van cannot linger are all common here. Telling us about access when you enquire lets us bring the right trestles and allow the right amount of setup time, rather than discovering it on the day.
We have catered repeatedly at The Rock on Mercer Island, so that venue needs no introduction. For private homes, we plan around your kitchen rather than through it — most setups need a table and an outlet, nothing more.
- Private island homes and lakeside decks
- The Rock on Mercer Island
- Island Crest, Mercerwood and East Seattle neighborhoods
- Community and clubhouse rooms across the island

Good to know.
Do you cater across all of Mercer Island?
Yes. Aroma del Fuego caters the whole island, from the north end and East Seattle across to Island Crest, Mercerwood and the south end. Mercer Island is our home base, so island events carry no delivery charge.
Have you catered at The Rock on Mercer Island?
Yes. We have catered multiple events at The Rock and know the space, its kitchen access and its load-in routine. Mention the venue when you enquire and we will plan the setup around it.
How far in advance should I book a Mercer Island event?
Ten days is comfortable for most island gatherings. Summer weekends between May and September book out faster, so allow four to six weeks. Rush requests inside 72 hours are sometimes possible depending on the week.
Is there a delivery fee for Mercer Island?
No. Mercer Island sits inside our complimentary ten-mile delivery radius, so delivery and setup are included in your quote for any island address.
Can you set up at an island home with a narrow driveway or limited parking?
Yes, and it is worth flagging early. Many island properties have steep or narrow approaches. Tell us about driveway access, stairs and parking when you enquire so we can bring the right equipment and allow enough time.
What is the minimum guest count for a Mercer Island grazing table?
Grazing tables start at 25 guests. For smaller island gatherings, canapé boxes start at 12 and work beautifully for intimate dinners and milestone celebrations at home.
