We had the pleasure of being invited to two meals served by Chef Daniel and his team at private dinner parties. The food was exceptional both times, and the ability for the hosts to relax and entertain while the food is prepped and served is invaluable. And no dirty dishes after guests leave!

Outstanding food. Top notch crew of servers were in a way intuitive of our needs. Efficient, friendly, and reliable communication. We hired Chef to go catering for our wedding, and all of our guests were pleased with the delicious lunch that was served. Plenty of food. Family members wanted the left overs after the event. One of the staff members noticed at the end of the event that I might need some water (it's tiring being a bride) a small, yet thoughtful gesture. Chef to go -you didn't let us down. You went above and beyond our expectations. ~Mr.&Mrs. Ingraham read more

Last week Chef to go Catering provided breakfast and lunch for our company holiday party. Since I work early I was able to enjoy both meals. As I walked into the building the aroma of fresh eggs and potatoes lured me toward the conference room. There were two kinds of eggs- plain and for the more adventurous eggs mixed with bacon, cheese and chives. I really liked the cheesy eggs. The potatoes were seasoned and tasted really good. Even the security guard stopped me to ask and make sure I got some. The fruits were sweet and fresh. Everything else was also great and was a nice start to the day. For lunch we had all your holiday favorites- salad, turkey, veggies, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry and bread. They did a good job of keeping trays filled and warm. The salad was okay but I really liked that the turkey was not dry. I'm one of those people that doesn't really like white meat. I also liked that the veggies had a lot of variety and they weren't soggy. Sometime veggies get soggy when they sit in the tray too long. The mashed potatoes were creamy and paired well with the gravy. It was nice to see Chef to go Catering at our company event. read more

Chef Daneil is awesome ! We met him at an event in Winters this weekend. He is so nice and wow he loves what he does.The food was so good & FUN and creative .We loves the waffle and fried chicken on the stick, the brie toasted almond appetizer, and the mini panini sandwiches. Being a home entertainer myself its so hard to come up with delicious fun and creative appetizers, Chef Daniel does this so well. You could have a party with just his appetizers and everyone would leave feeling satisfied. I have kept his card and will use him for sure with my next event. Thank you Chef Daniel so nice to meet you in winters on Saturday. read more

I assisted friends with their wedding this past June and we selected Chef To Go Catering for our buffet style dinner. Chef Dan and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with! From the initial inquiry we placed with him, to menu planning, wedding tasting and execution, the team was completely on point! The food is delicious with great presentation and all of our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about our selection! As a wedding planner, I did not have to worry about service or quality during the wedding festivities which allowed me to focus on ensuring the rest of the event was a success. I highly recommend Chef Dan and his team for events! Can't wait to work with them again soon. read more

We used Chef Daniel as our caterer for our wedding on May 16th, 2010. I must say that for what we received, particularly the quality of the food, I feel like Chef Daniel's services are HUGE bargain. He was our second choice, after our original caterer had to back out, and I'm so glad that happened--because the first caterer's food/service was maybe as good, but was also twice the price. I was actually pretty stunned when Chef gave me his quote! Chef Daniel and his team came through in every way possible. Our reception was for roughly 100 people and included a selection of appetizers outdoors, and then a full buffet indoors, at a venue out in the country with no kitchen facilities beyond some sinks in the bathroom. Everyone in my extremely picky family, who have endured many bland wedding buffets, has told me how amazingly delicious and gourmet everything was. We were able to provide vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, while still accommodating the meat-and-potato-loving folks on the other side of the spectrum. Even the kids loved it. In choosing a menu, we were given virtually unlimited options, so for the most part I just gave the chef a list of some of our favorite ingredients and asked him to put something together for us. The menu he proposed was very thoughtful and showed that he puts a lot of creativity and effort into his food. When we proposed modifications, he either made them or gave very good reasons why he didn't recommend the changes. In addition to the food, Chef handled all the rentals for us (tables, linens, dishes, etc.) and his team also served the drinks we brought ourselves, with no corkage fee. Everything ran incredibly smoothly, service-wise, and our other vendors (venue, florist) were very happy working with him. In fact, Chef Daniel was recommended to us by the director of our venue, who used his catering for his own wedding (which was all-local, all-organic), and then for numerous events after that. One of the best parts for me personally, because I absolutely LOATHE dealing with people over the phone, was that Chef Daniel was able to handle everything via e-mail. In fact, we'd never spoken or met in person before the big day! I had been a bit hesitant, because Chef To Go does NOT offer tastings, but he had such glowing reviews that I went ahead anyway--and then I got to be totally blown away when I finally tried the food at my wedding! read more

I used Chef To Go Catering for my outdoor wedding of approximately 160 people in Napa, CA. Chef Bell was flexible, accommodating and had amazing food. He accommodated my unusual requests - to use salmon caught by my father (a commercial fisherman) and spices contributed by my Indian mother-in-law to make BBQ salmon and tandoori chicken. Although Chef Bell is fairly informal, his food is as gourmet as you want it to be. For our wedding, we served: - Baby greens, apples, toasted almonds, blue crumbles with honey white balsamic vinaigrette ~ Tomato salad with pesto ~ Seasonable fresh fruit salad ~ Vegetarian ravioli, evoo and fresh grated Parmesan (people LOVED this) ~ BBQ salmon, lemon grass extract and ginger compound butter ~ Tandoori chicken (using an Indian family recipe) ~ Assorted artisan breads and rolls Chef Bell provided the complete buffet set up, buffet cloths, a service staff of 8 (who were all professional and nice), dinner plates, stainless steel knife and fork, cloth napkin (you pick the color) and clear plastic plastic cake plate and fork. His well-attired staff passed appetizers, set up the table tops, cleared plates, poured wine, cut the cake and generally cleaned up. The best part: Per person, including a service charge and sales tax, was about $38 per person. I did extensive research and most quotes ranged from $65 to $100 per person. Weddings are ridiculously overpriced and you will get played - but not by Chef Bell! He provided amazing value for your money and is courteous and responsive to boot. I also had to shift chairs from the ceremony in one part of the venue to the dining area in another part of the venue while the guests were in a third part of the venue, and he was willing to have his staff do so for a small fee. He has an extensive array of food and is willing to work with you for personalize requests. I highly recommend him. Check out the photos to see his a sampling of his dishes. read more

Chef Dan is amazing! Great food, fantastic service A+++ Would highly recommend him to family and friends!

For four years in a row, our summer camp of ~80 kids and ~25 adults has been using Chef Daniel to keep everyone stuffed and happy. Needless to say, serving 3 daily meals to 100+ people, for 7 days in a row, and at a campground 50 miles from civilization is a feat. Yet somehow he manages to make it happen in a way that is affordable and satisfies the picky needs of all kinds of eaters. Thanks to Daniel, not only are our meals delicious and always served on time, they are nutritious -- something you might not expect when feeding so many people at a summer camp. Daniel and his staff are also friendly, willing to work with us for whatever last-minute needs arise, and have always met our budget. For a non-profit organization, that's key. I highly recommend Daniel and Chef To Go Catering -- just don't book him during our camp next summer! read more

Chef Daniel was very easy to work with from quote, menu and details inquiry to actual day of event. Chef Emily who did our small party, worked tirelessly to make sure everything was on point. Menu was excellent! We had a luau theme and everything were just perfect. The stuffed mushroom, chicken satay, salad, ahi tuna were a hit! I just might look for an excuse to host a party just so I can have Chef to go to cater. read more

As a Bride we don't get to see or hear many of the details of our wedding until we return from our honeymoon. I remember DELICIOUS food and VERY VERY nice staff! My wedding happened to be on one of the hottest days and mainly outdoors but the staff always had a smile on their faces and always made sure we had COLD water on the tables! Now that I'm back in hearing how great the food was (but I already knew that) and also how extra accommodating the staff was when last minute changes were needed! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART for being SO very awesome at what you do!!! Not everything is a smooth process with weddings but everything about your service was exceptional!! read more

We recently had an event at the Vacaville Opera House catered by Chef Daniel, Chef to Go Catering. It went far beyond our expectations. The food was delicious and the staff was kind, professional and extremely accommodating.

The food was enjoyed by everyone, service was impeccable and the set up lovely, from the hors d ovres and entrees to desserts and beverages. We would highly recommend Chef to Go Catering for any future event. read more

Chef To Go catered an educational event that Windermere Real Estate held in Fairfield. They catered breakfast for the 3 days of the event. Chef Daniel was professional, a great communicator and a pleasure to work with. Breakfast was set up and ready to go each day prior to our attendees arrival. Take down of the buffet was quick, quiet and did not distract the attendees from their training. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend Chef To Go Catering and would absolutely hire them again. read more

Where do I start?? I had the pleasure of having Chef Daniel cater my wedding back in October 2013. Let me just say that Chef Daniel is hands down the most AMAZING caterer ever. There was not a single detail that went unnoticed, his attention to detail is impeccable. Throughout all of the emails back and forth over the course of a whole year, he answered every single question I had and never made me feel like I was "bugging" him asking all these silly questions. He handled everything with such professionalism I was astounded. The wait staff was equally as attentive, courteous and detail oriented. And the food! OMG the FOOD!! We received so many compliments on the food we had at our wedding, people are still talking about it! Everything Chef and his staff handled for us was perfectly flawless. I can't wait to have an event that I can hire Chef to Go Catering to handle! Thank you Chef!!! read more

Chef Daniel did our wedding in August 2016. Couldn't not have been more pleased and happy. AMAZING FOOD. Everything was on time. Done right. No issues. Plenty to eat. He is the top of his class and then some! read more

I had the privilege and opportunity to be the "day of" event planner for a recent wedding that was catered by Chef To Go Catering. They were highly recommended from a handful of friends of my bride and groom. I got on board a month before the wedding and Chef Daniel got me up to date on every last detail. The wedding was at the bride & grooms home & the space was not ideal for an event that size. Most every vendor would have complained but Chef was super flexible and accommodating. Helpful does not begin to describe Chef Daniel. He recommended different food options for the kids that ended up saving my bide & groom $$$. The day of the wedding we had an ice emergency. I went to purchase 15 bags of ice for our open bar (nothing to do with Chef To Go Catering) & it was going to be 90 degrees out that day. As luck would have it, the whole city of Fairfield CA was out of ice!?? Since I am not local, I did not know what to do. So I called Chef- after he told me to relax & he would have no problem picking up a crazy amount of ice on his way to the wedding. The minute he arrived with his team I was at complete ease. They really do set up anywhere! The kitchen that they used ended up being the last minute location for the guests children to watch movies & play during the ceremony. That didn't even phase Chef or his team. His crew was a true pleasure to have working with me. They are the cleanest, fastest, and nicest wait staff I have ever worked around. I got a bit sad at the end of the night thinking that I wished I lived closer to have Chef to Go Catering at all my events. Oh- the Food, the food, the food. ALL of the guests raved about how delicious the food was. Overall, if you want a caterer that goes above and beyond for your event plus has amazing food- Hire Chef To Go!!! read more

Chef Daniel is so wonderful! We were looking for a caterer for our wedding and sort of stumbled across his website. His food looked great, but the service was even better! Unsure what I was doing or how to work everything out, he was always there answering my questions and providing suggestions. We got such a great deal with his wedding special: food, servers, dining rentals, and clean up. In addition to saving so much money with him, the food was divine! Everyone at the wedding complimented our choice to go with him. Although he doesn't do tastings in advance, trust me on this one. He worked with us to accommodate vegetarian options and healthy choices, while delivering beautiful, delicious food. If you are looking for a caterer for any event -- Chef to Go is the easy choice! read more

Chef Dan did a superb job of catering for my daughter's graduation from law school. I suspect that I was not the easiest of clients, had high expectations and really wanted everything to be just right. At each step of the planning process, Chef Dan was willing and able to help, and on the day of our big event, he and his staff (Megan) were extraordinary! Really -- just wonderful in every way! The food was delicious! Plus his incredibly nice and accommodating personality made him such a pleasure to deal with. He for sure gets a five star standing ovation in my book! B Russo read more

Chef Daniel was given the challenge of catering a home wedding that required negotiating mulit-levels and setting up beverage and food venues in different locations and he exectued this challenge flawlessly!! The wedding was a buffet event for 100 guests and from beginning to end Chef Daniel took care of all the details. The table settings, glassware and cuttlery were all provided by Chef Daniel, and we were not dissapointed with the results as he delivered what he promised. The quality of food and presentation were magnificent and we received several compliments from our guests, but Chef Daniel and his team deserve all of the credit. The appitizers were exceptional, the main meal was excellent and Chef Daniel's team even took responsibility for circualting the wedding cake among the guests. During the planning for this event we interviewed other caterers, and Chef Daniel stood out from the rest due in part that is price was the most reasonable, but was really impressed us was his personable style. The best compliment one can offer is if we would consider hiring Chef Daniel again, and the answer is a resounding YES! In summary, Chef Daniel is a team player and worked with us to create a special evening and It goes without saying that if you are considering a catered event I would higly recommend "Chef to Go Catering". read more

Best night of our life ! Thank you chief daniel! We will continue to come every year to your events !

Chef to go Catering catered our wedding in September 2014 and we were very happy with all his help throughout the process answering all our questions and assisting with the rentals we needed - organizing and verifying we had everything covered. We were concerned at the beginning about not being able to do a tasting but decided to go for it anyways as they had catered a wedding at our venue before and we had heard good things from them - we ended up very happy with the food and have heard nothing but good things about all the food from the guests! We had a guest that is allergic to garlic and when I found out just a week before and notified Chef Dan about it he was very flexible and even provided her her own plated dinner. During cocktail hour, we were taking pictures and the staff brought us some appetizers that were being served which was greatly appreciated! Overall the wait staff was attentive and professional. Overall, very happy with the help and the food! read more
