I have loved working with Chef Marlene! She has now catered two large events (80+ people) for me and has done a wonderful job. The food is delicious and the presentation is top notch. I'll definitely be working with her on future events! read more

We used Chef Marlene to cater a 40 person brunch event that we hosted at our house and everything was perfect! Her attention to detail is second to none and the food was absolutely amazing. Our guests kept on asking " where did you get this food from?!?!" read more

I can't say enough good delicious things about Marlene. Not only is her food DELICIOUS but she makes everything look so dang pretty! She has a eye for immaculate presentation and taste to match. She was so easy to work with, great attitude and delivered on exactly what I asked her for, and completely exceeded my expectations. I almost wish I was throwing an event every day so I could have Marlene's talents on the daily! As the event host, every single patron came up to me and complemented the food many, many times and the gorgeous presentation. My photographer for the event is the photographer here in LA for one of the city's most elite and sought out restaurants (to be named nameless....but think Venice and Abbott Kinney) She said to me "wow. Food is so incredibly important and your caterer knocked it out of the park in style and in taste. Well done on hiring her. " I can't wait to use Marlene and all her talents again as soon as possible. read more

Where to start....Marlene is absolutely the best of the best. I recently hired her as a private chef for a special birthday party for my mom. Her attention to detail is not only evident in her delicious food, but throughout the whole process of planning. Marlene started by asking what types of food my mom loved to eat, and worked with me to create a completely custom menu based on her preferences. Her organization and knowledge about fresh seasonal produce made me confident that it would be an amazing meal. After much anticipation, the day of the party finally arrived, and Marlene's professionalism and expertise helped make the evening flawless. She worked around others in the kitchen, and prepared an amazing meal for our 19 guests. The food was not only beautifully plated, but was absolutely delicious. The entire table (including many foodies) couldn't stop talking about how good everything tasted. From the zucchini noodles with panko breaded goat cheese, to the heirloom tomato and corn salad; each plate was incredible. For the main course our guests had a choice between chicken and salmon both of which were cooked to perfection. The portions were very plentiful and every component on the plate had it's own unique and vibrant flavor. Marlene's passion for using only the freshest ingredients is what truly sets her apart. She was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish and I am so thankful that she helped make our special event a success. read more

See all

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Chef Marlene! She has been catering for our company for a few months now and I have NEVER had a complaint from any of our 24 employees. She's basically a celebrity in our office. Marlene and her team make corporate catering feel so luxurious compared to other companies we have worked with! Everything is presented beautifully, it's healthy, fresh, and feels like it was made specially for us. Our office also has a lot of dietary restrictions and requests and Marlene has tackled them with ease. I have also recommended her to friends who have raved about her service as well. She's a gem and I almost don't like sharing how wonderful she is because I wish we could keep her to ourselves. If you need a cater for any event (especially corporate) Chef Marlene is your girl :) read more

So almost a year ago chef Marlene catered my birthday dinner. We fell in love then and so naturally as our wedding rolled around we thought hey let's reach out! Marlene was a pleasure to work with through the whole experience. Not only was the food amazing but her and her teams execution adaptability and helpfulness when one of our other vendors didn't have what they needed/wasn't doing what they were doin she stepped in and took charge to save the day. I think I have been getting at least one text a day asking for recipes and our chefs name post wedding. Thanks again Marlene and her team for a seamless beautiful experience! read more

Chef Marlene is the BEST! Not only is her food seriously delicious (I get compliments EVERY single time she's cooked at our events!) but she's imaginative around menu, easy to work with, and just a delight all-around. It's so nice to work with a catering company you can rely on, and know that everyone is going to leave incredibly happy. Thank you, Chef Marlene! read more

Marlene has been a star caterer for the past few months here. Apart from having an amazing selection on her menu, she certainly delivers: whether it's her seasonal farm fresh selection of dishes, or her ability to provide care to her clients and make sure they are well fed. You really can taste the seasonality and freshness, see the beauty, care and time she takes in everything she does while feeling good and feeling full from what you're eating. It's been a delight getting lunch for 80+ people from her each week - thank you Chef Marlene! Highly recommended! read more

Chef Marlene and her team are absolutely incredible partners! We worked with them for a gallery event for 50 people and the spread was the talk of the evening. Marlene was so wonderful to work with, answered all my questions thoroughly and quickly, and was a great resource when it came to finding other vendors like bartenders. Hope to work with her in the future. Thank you! read more

Marlene and her staff are so fantastic and fun to work with. Incredible attitude, flexibility with preferences and the food is delish! Her menu ideas are immense. You'll be thrilled you called her. read more

Marlene is a chef who creates her artistry in food from her heart. Every chop, dressing, flavor, comes from her love of cooking. You can feel the passion of her work in every bite. Marlene is a very professional and punctual chef. When ordering from Marlene you will know when hiring her how much she loves and cares for her clients. read more

I recently had Chef Marlene Berstein cater my sister's bridal shower and I the food and her service were amazing!! My guests kept raving about the how great the food was and on top of that how health it look too. I would use her again in a second and recommend her to all my family and friends! Marlene keep up the great work!! Can' wait to work you again. read more

Marlene is not only an incredible caterer but she is a true partner in helping to curate an unique experience for guests. Last night, I hosted a murder mystery dinner party set in an English manor in the 1930s. Marlene was so creative in helping to develop an authentic English menu- including beautifully presented trout and veggie pot pie but the main hit was the sticky toffee pudding cake for dessert. Everything she made looked and tasted absolutely amazing! Not too mention that she makes the process of hosting so much more fun when you know her very capable hands are in charge of the food. You know it's a hit when your guests can't stop raving about the meal and how the themed menu helped to create the ambiance for the evening. I truly cannot recommend her catering services enough. Thank you, Marlene! read more

Marlene and her team are amazing! We hired her for our company's holiday dinner party. The process of planning our menu was so easy and Marlene was so helpful by answering all of my questions. The night of our event, Marlene and her team arrived early and immediately got to action with prepping everything and creating a beautiful space to display and serve the food. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Everyone on our staff commented about how great the food tasted. Marlene and her team are true professionals and I would highly recommend them for your next catered event! read more

Nothing but the most enthusiastic praises for Marlene and her team! She comes highly, highly recommended! Marlene was so accommodating and the entire process was seamless from the start. She ended up creating and executing the most delicious menu for our wedding! We didn't have the space for a formal sit down dinner, so she made platters of incredible, sophisticated fare, and everything was next level delicious! Her prices were not pretentious, and nor is she, especially for a LA chef. Marlene is approachable, disarming and overall lovely. She's super easy to work with. Her team was also, and they were on their "A" game the entire evening according to my wedding coordinator. In fact, she also had nothing but praises for Marlene and her team the day after the wedding! I was pleased to hear that report. Overall, they are all absolute STARS!!! ps: They left the kitchen immaculate! read more

Amazing and Excellent are only the first 2 words that come to mind when thinking about Chef Marlene's food. She comes up with the most delicious combinations of foods, creative and so yummy, and the presentation of each dish is beautiful! Aside from the importance of taste, Marlene is a delight to work with. From the first concept phone call, to the day of the event, Marlene and her staff are top notch! They go above and beyond to help the evening be successful and fun. Once you try Chef Marlene, you will never have to worry about finding a caterer ever again!!! She is simply the best! read more

Yum. Marlene and Michael just get it. The food is fantastic, customer service is top notch, and did I mention the food was good (which is kind of the point)? They catered one of my work events, the only thing left were the trays the food came in. read more

Chef Marlene did an outstanding event for our sons graduation party. The food display was beautifully arranged and the menu was amazing. All of our guests were impressed and wanted her card for their upcoming events. I would use her over and over again. She was easy to work with and connect with on the phone, email or text. She is the best caterer I have ever worked with and would recommend her in a second! read more

Yaasss! That's what my guests said after tasting Marlene & team's food. Marlene catered a small private dinner party I was hosting. The food was amazing. Her sous chef (sorry forgot his name) came and helped out. Presentation, taste, and everything was on point. The guests were very happy and so was I. I'd highly recommend!! read more

This was honestly the best in office catering we have ever had. I was very impressed with Marlene as not only did I need to cater for a group of 15 on very, very short notice, Marlene still allowed me to pick the exact menu that would fit for the group of people that would be in the office that day. On the day of the event, Marlene showed up early, set up the food quietly and was in and out with no disruption to the meeting that was taking place just outside of the area I gave her to set up. The food, wow! The food was top notch. We had chicken and vegetables, a spaghetti squash miracle creation, phenomenal potatoes, and a delicious salad. I got rave reviews on my catering choice which only means that Marlene deserves the credit for coming through for me like she did. We will certainly be using Marlene for catering again! What a wonderful experience. read more

Marlene is an incredible chef and a pleasure to work with. She catered my baby shower, my daughter's birthday party, and my sister's baby shower. Each party was for 40 + plus people. Her food is delicious and the presentation is beautiful. She is very creative and accommodating. I look forward to working with her again soon. read more

Marlene is one of the kindest, yet most professional people i have worked with. Her passion for food is showcased in the incredible spread she brings our company once a week. We started by trialing Marlene's catering once a month, however that very quickly escalated to having her cater for us once or twice a week! Everyone in our office absolutely LOVES her food. Great quality, beautifully presented, and so easy to work with. I couldn't recommend Marlene enough! read more

I never take the time to write reviews but I had to write something after the incredible work Chef Marlene has done for me. She catered my son's birthday party, a lunch for 45 people and an intimate cocktail and appetizer party for me. Each time the food (in both taste and presentation) has been outstanding and her attention to detail is beyond compare. She is incredibly creative and went above and beyond to make my events perfect- it felt like working with a close friend. At the luncheon the elevator broke and her sous chef carried everything up 2 flights of stairs with no complaint and once at the top, set up the presentation with incredible enthusiasm and precision. I have never received as many compliments on the food as I have with Chef Marlene. I look forward to working with Chef Marlene again soon and for many years to come. read more

Marlene and Michael are absolutely amazing! We hired Savour this Kitchen to cater a few corporate events and every time their meals blew people away. Our team was not only devouring the food but taking time to Instagram it because it looked that good. The ingredients are always top notch, fresh from the farmers' market AND they're able to make healthy taste outstanding. I highly highly recommend them for any upcoming events! read more

Marlene recently provided a delicious and beautiful dinner spread for 30 guests at a baby shower I hosted at my house. Her menu options are unique, and when the dishes arrive you know immediately that it will taste like a meal cooked with love. Every single guest commented about how flavorful the food was, how it didn't "feel like catering" at all, and warmed your soul like home cooking (in the best way!). Marlene is a fearless business woman; she responds immediately to questions which eases the mind of an event host and is creative in a pinch. Choose Marlene for all your food needs; as soon as you meet her, you will want her to stay and enjoy the meal with you! read more

I cannot praise Marlene and Michael enough! I love the delicious and varied options--which helps with anyone's particular diet-- while also feeling unique to Savour's brand and flavors. It doesn't hurt that they are also wonderful people with a incredible customer service and perfectionist's eye. In addition to enjoying their catered events, I also order my lunch from them once a week. I am grateful there is always a healthy and delicious option for me during that week that requires no thought of my own. : ) Yum! read more

Caterers often serve bland, uninspired food. We've all had crappy meals at weddings and at corporate events, sat in line for yet another In-N-Out on the ride home. Marlene is not your typical caterer! Her food is delicious and memorable. She makes nearly EVERYTHING from scratch. She doesn't skimp on ingredients and doesn't cut corners. She puts so much love into her food...and you can taste it. Our office serves around 60 people for lunch each day. After bouncing around with various food providers for over a year, we met Marlene and have not looked back. She always goes the extra mile for us, listens to our various dietary needs, uses the best ingredients, and serves us something totally delectable. Can't recommend her enough! read more

I can't recommend Marlene enough. She was really helpful when we were planning the menu and her variety of menu options was incredible. We hired her and her team for an engagement party and everyone raved about the food. Everything she prepared was delicious and she was extremely accommodating with all our requests. read more

We love Savour the Kitchen meal delivery. The food is really fresh and good quality and the service is great.
