I am so happy to have found 415 Catering. They catered a lunch on our construction site and the day's menu was Persian Cuisine - lamb stew, chicken in pomegranate-walnut sauce, split pea & eggplant stew and jeweled rice. All of it incredible. My party size was supposed to have been 120, but I had quite a few party crashers and there was still enough food, despite very enthusiastic eaters (to steal Devon's phrase). Devon was awesome to work with leading up to the lunch and the servers (who I later learned were also the chefs!) were great. Everything looked beautiful (even in a construction setting) and I've had so many compliments from the workers and my company bosses. I look forward to working with these guys again soon. read more

My least-preferred among the caterers we have at work, to the extent that I prefer to spend my hard-earned money than eat the "free" food provided by my company when it's 415. The meat is invariably overcooked, and the food in general is either flavorless or overly-spiced (like: a jerk chicken that they served was only edible to me after I washed it.) The labels don't match the food. Their employees are nice, but that doesn't make up for the food. read more

415 caters for my work almost every day of the week. the food is subpar. texture and flavor seem to be concepts lost to the people that run this company. an insult to chefs and the culinary industry.. as Gordon Ramsay would say. it seems like they use the same spices and food continuously on a rotation. and they do a lot of 'mash-up' type lunches where they throw (for example) chicken thigh, hotdog/sausage, and fish sauce in a pan and call it something-'fusion'. ick! looking on their website and Yelp photos they obviously can make decent food. i am not sure if it is the scale of my company or that we have them under contract and they are trying to make a profit. either way the end result is awful food that a lot of people that work here complain about and avoid. my whole floor (not an understatement) will leave the office or order delivery from other places on 415 days. read more

I tried these guys when visiting Meraki in San Fran. I was surprised how mushy it was. I thought kind of gross. Surprised Meraki employees have not revolted!! read more

They seem to try and have good intentions, however most of the food day to day has fancy titles but all tastes the same - pork in sauce that is lukewarm. 1 out of 10 meals they seem to really try, and it can be great. But most days it is a very poor showing. They cater our office about 8 times a month for well over a year. read more

415 caters our company from time to time, and the meals are usually overcooked, mushy and/or dry meat. (415 is slowing converting me to a vegetarian.) The food is also very bland. Let me assure you I've given them plenty of chances before writing this review. We've had them many many times at work, and if anything's consistent, it's the disappointment. And it's not just me. I don't know why the company continues to hire them. 415 does a lot better with heavy hors d'oeuvres. I don't understand why their meals are so lacking. read more

415 Catering has been so kind and helpful in coming on as my office caterer. They cater twice a week for our team of 80, and they have been nothing but flawless in execution, flavor and set up. I wish I would have found out about them sooner! They are reliable, their food his high quality and organic and everything always seems fresh. Not to mention they donate any left over food to SF charities at the end of the day. Devon and Matt are nothing short of fantastic so reach out to them for the most excellent service. read more

415 Catering provided our food last night, we hosted an event for local startups, and it was a huge success! I heard nothing but amazing things about the food and the presentation. The homemade pizzas was absolutely amazing and it left all 50 guests full and happy. Both the employees provided excellent service and professionalism setting and cleaning everything up in a timely manner. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for outstanding food made by amazing people. Thank you from The SmartRecruiters Team! read more

This is a review of their office catering service after several months of eating them every week. It seems like they do a better job of events as they can put in more effort for those. Our office of ~150 people gets catered by 415 three times per week. As other reviewers have mentioned, they seem to really try about once every 2 weeks. Otherwise it's lots of mixing up the same ingredients but giving them fancy different descriptions, they NEVER taste as good as the menu makes it sound though. Their problem seems to stem from 415 trying to offer nearly every type of food, but not being particularly good at cooking anything. They make French, Mediterranean, Mexican, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, etc., pretty much anything you can think of. But it's always just the same types of meat or veggies with slightly different sauces that are usually very bland. A good way to describe it would be all their food is the opposite of authentic tasting. Another reviewer was spot on with the meat, always very dry with no flavor. It really forces you to eat more of the vegetarian options, which aren't great but often are slightly less-bad. Service is mostly great, they are punctual, and we seem to have the correct amount of food most of the time for how many employees we have. 415 seems to win business by being very easy to work with, and making the job of our office staff that has to arrange catering super easy. But at the end of the day the food just isn't very good which is the most important thing when you are paying tens of thousands of dollar to a catering company. read more

these guys have been bringing lunch to us a few times a week and it's eclectic, delicious, and fresh. The of variety of menus they offer is outstanding and I love that they feature local farms on our salad bar! The salad bar is always fresh and beautiful. They also catered a happy hour event for us and it was amazing! Oh! The staff are really attentive and extra nice. They are helpful and really knowledgeable about what they are serving. Yes, I'm one of those people who is always asking what's in this, what's in that and I haven't gotten an eye roll yet. read more

415 is hands down the BEST office catering service I have used in the last 8 years of managing offices. We get lunch for about 80 ppl 3x a week. From the get go, meeting with Devon to discuss working together I could tell she knew her business. Since bringing them on a few months ago we've consistently had inventive and seriously delicious food. The flavors they bring to their food becomes an office topic, and I've overheard staff say "I love 415" So GOOD. And on top of that they seamlessly came in and set-up was like they had done it a million times from day 1. Our regular 415 rep for lunch, Jeanette, is like a part of our family. So personable, funny, and a pleasure to have in. We are constantly raving about them! Highly recommended. Rebecca BigCommerce read more

they didn't wash the vegetables, the chopped pepper still have sticker on them, disgusting. read more

415 Catering - Caterers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I live for 2 things: the education non profit I work for, Breakthrough San Francisco, and event planning. I do 2 things for a living: I work for an education non profit, Breakthrough San Francisco, and my family business is event planning. My heart is 100% emotionally invested in both. I obviously have a personal connection to both, so naturally...I work really hard at/for both...and therefore I have become very good at doing both! In addition to my role as program associate at BTSF, I serve on BTSF's Young Professionals Board. YPB helps fundraise for BTSF in different ways including planning and hosting events! Being Events Committee lead on YPB is special to me because it's where my two worlds become one. I get to make my mom proud and show her everything's she's ever taught me as an event planner, and I get to give back to my students in the program that I love. On Thursday, January 26th, 2017, YPB hosted our SECOND event. A "Diversity in Tech" event at Instacart HQ downtown. With this event only being our second, and of course being a nonprofit, our budget was very very limited. One of our board members is an employee at Instacart, so they were gracious enough to donate the space for the evening. Our search for the right caterer(s) had the same approach; high hopes to receive in-kind donations. Months before our event, I received an email that changed my life. Devon Desautels is a dream come true. I am not exaggerating. So communicative, asks all the right questions, and made everything seem like magic! I lied in my first sentence. I live for 3 things: the education non profit I work for, Breakthrough San Francisco, event planning......and chicken. On top of being so amazing and accommodating and super communicative and lovely to work with, 415 CATERING DONATED MORE THAN ENOUGH FRIED CHICKEN SLIDERS FOR OUR EVENT. I AM SAD I ONLY ATE 7!!! Devon if you're reading this I miss them already! They were gracious enough to donate these SMASH HIT Crispy Fried Chicken Sliders (with butter pickles, little gems, tarragon aioli, on a brioche bun), Pea & Potato Samosas (with mango chutney), and their "Sticky Toffee Trifle." (Medjool dates, toffee sauce, mascarpone, orange blossom pound cake). All three items were delicious and beautiful and our guests were carrying them in their arms home, I definitely took a handful of chicken sliders home after the event and ate a couple for a midnight snack. I also don't usually like pickles in my chicken sandwiches but I could not stop eating these sliders and loved the pickles with them. Perfection. Please contact me at trisha@breakthroughsf.org if you would like to hear more about how amazing these chicken sliders and their staff are. I can go on forever. Devon, Ally, Rachel, and Aerton were so helpful setting up, and were amazing, efficient, and friendly to all our guests throughout the event. (Yes, they came to set up and be of service at the event too!) And the presentation was cuter than any other food set up I've seen at the weddings or formal birthday celebrations I've done. Brava, 100%, A+ all around everything. They are now the first catering company that will come to my mind and out of my mouth whenever people ask for a referral. Being an event planner, I know the stress and nightmare it is when a vendor is not communicative/has their own plans. I also know the stress of finding the perfect food, coordinating all the logistics of delivery, set up, clean up, and everything in between. 415 Catering gave me no stress at all. From every angle, I appreciate them and their support with our event. I cannot wait to keep working with them whether it be for Breakthrough or special events! Thank you for everything, 415 Catering!!! With all of my heart and Breakthrough Gratitude, Trisha read more

I hired 415 catering for a professional event I hosted for 150+ clients. Rhonda was wonderful about helping me through the process of figuring out exactly what I need, and she was very patient through multiple revisions of my proposal. They are much more than a catering company, they hired and coordinated other vendors to work my event as well (all of which were reliable, friendly, and amazing!). The service staff that worked my event were incredible! They were on top of it, their stations looked incredible, Patrick (who headed up the team) checked in with me regularly to make sure all was smooth and that me and my guests were happy. I will be using 415 again and would recommend them to anybody! The food! I cannot forget about the food! I left the selections completely up to the caterer, and I'm so happy I did! We obviously got the best they had with selections for all preferences and palettes. Thank you 415 catering for your outstanding service and delicious food! I look forward to working with you all again! read more

I started working with 415's sister company Foxtail Catering. I loved the people I worked with and when I found out they had corporate catering, I was sold. To keep things fresh at my company, I used several caterers a month - it's like a puzzle during planning, but Devon was great at working around my crazy schedule. Let's start with food: The food was always fresh with unique menus that kept things interesting. I love that they do everything from Mexican to French. My particular favorites are their California menus because they are always focused on seasonal ingredients. Service: this is what really blows them out of the water from the other caterers I've worked with. I have a set team that comes every week and after the first introduction, they now need no supervision. I know I can count of them to have lunch out on time. The also help manage the food service by refreshing lines and keeping them always looking full throughout service. Their team also answers any questions. They are so friendly and attentive. Overall: A+++ the team is great, they are always read more

I love 415 Catering. Their service is amazing and their food is great. We have been using them for 8 months for our daily lunches and until now I can honestly say they have been a great addition to our company perks. They work with us with our special diet request among other things, they have been very accommodating. We have used them for some of our breakfast and I can say that everyone loves it. I really appreciate that they put the linens and flowers in our dining area it really makes it look special. THANK YOU 415 Catering for everything you do for us, we really appreciate it. I would highly recommend them. read more

We love 415!! Food is always consistent, everyone who helps get food set up is friendly and helpful. My favorite part of their service is how easy it is to work with Devon & the rest of the team. When you're regularly ordering food for 70+ people, it can be really time consuming. 415 takes all of that away - I get monthly emails with menus from Devon, monthly invoices and never have to worry about anything showing up on time! Thanks, 415, for making my life easier!! read more

I have been using 415 Catering for over a year now for my office catering needs and i cannot tell you what a happy office I have!! What an amazing team they have there! From Matt who takes my orders and works with me on my budgets, to the guys and gals that come by and set up a beautiful table (with linens and flowers) and now we talk about the food!! OMG - it is amazing!! I have gotten so many of the their menus - they have menus of the day or you can work with them to create a special menu - they are so accommodating. The food is always seasoned perfectly, succulent and they have such a great variety, meeting the needs of all the palates in my office. We just had a flank steak yesterday that was so good and a roasted chicken and fig dish that could be served in any fine dining restaurant in SF! and do not be scared - the prices are REALLY reasonable!! If you have not used them yet - i highly recommend that you call them today and start NOW! You will not regret it for a moment! read more
