Finding the right caterer mattered so much to us -- my family truly appreciates good food, and I had a clear vision for both flavor and presentation. After searching all over San Diego without finding the right fit, I reached out to them and it was the best decision we made. Even the tasting exceeded expectations. The attention to detail, presentation, and quality were outstanding. On the wedding day, Armando and his team were beyond supportive. They made sure everything was exactly as I had dreamed it and handled every detail with professionalism and care, which allowed us to fully enjoy our day. To this day, we still receive compliments about how amazing the food was. We were so impressed that we will absolutely be using them for all of our future events. Highly, highly recommend.

As Momma Yelp would say, "Holy crap what a party!"…read more Review #400. Mid October of 2009 Porsche planned the United States debut of its first four door sedan, a festively named rocket ship know as the Panamera. Beverly Hills Porsche had the pleasure and duty to help with the Los Angeles unveiling. It's been quite a while since I've organized such an important event and with ever shrinking marketing budgets I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with the idea of pulling off something as big as this. I started calling in favors form friends in the event planning business. It didn't take long to realize things could very easily get out of hand and go terribly over budget. I started to put the word out that I needed something special yet affordable and after a few stellar recommendations and a bucket load of due diligence I decided to contact Michael Kay form Kitchen 12000. Originally I was only looking for a catering company that could handle the food and beverage service. I thought I had the rest of the bases covered. However after meeting with Michal I decided to let his mad genius take over the better part of my event. We decided to call the project Viva Panamera! Michael sourced a top notch DJ, a crew of professional photographers and a crack security team. His Kitchen 12000 chefs, servers and bar staff had already established a great reputation and became the corner stone of this project. The 24 hours leading up to an event is always the most stressful. Michael and his staff kept re assuring me that this was going to be an experience that my guests would not soon forget. The stress kept building as the event grew nearer. Several of the key components that I had been working on started to fall apart and of course the torrential rains moved in. Michael worked with me on a contingency work around just incase the rain forced the event indoors. He also offered to pick up some of the slack my other vendors were hanging me up with. Looking back K-12000 got 80% of my budget and did 110% of the work. Next time I write one check and let them do it all. The Panamera launch was a qualified success! Mother Nature moved the rain clouds to the east, the sun dried off the grounds and Kitchen 12000 brought their A-game. The K-12'ers arrived and Beverly Hills Porsche underwent a transformation from car lot to night club. Everything looked amazing! The red carpet style entry with paparazzi press wall impressed. The flowers, candles, tables, bars and DJ booth all worked their magic to create the right mood. When the food came out my guests were truly impressed. I had a few people tell me over and over again how much they loved the prosciutto wrapped dates unless that was just the little voices in my head. From beginning to end everything went off as planned with one exception. I didn't budget enough for booze. Thankfully Michael came to the rescue and had some emergency bottles delivered to save my skin. I applaud Michael Kay and the outstanding performance by the entire Kitchen 12000 team. Viva Panamera! I've posted pictures of the event to my Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/beverlyhillsporsche/sets/72157622644428710/ I can't wait for the next excuse to throw a party using K-12000!

The initial process was made very easy by the attention Iseah and his team paid to us throughout. The day of the event, the catering team arrived early and made sure everything was completely set up well before the guests got here. The food was delicious, the serving staff kept on top of making sure all stations were stocked with food and that different courses were served on time. After the event was done, they quickly packed everything away and left. I was very impressed. 5 Stars, no notes.

It's also pretty funny how the website had to "rebrand" and remove all their owners, management, and coordinators because people would recognize them as just terrible people. I'm just leaving this review to let people know that this is not a reputable catering service I would recommend. I would recommend if you have the budget Marbled LA or better yet Bite Catering, Good Heart Catering, Catering Los Angeles, the list goes on and these are cheaper options than "Contemporary catering". If you enjoy cold sliders, poor management, a staff that doesn't respond back, and an arrogant owner that blames LA for being the problem and tucking tale back to the desert (as he puts it) this might be the place for you. There's a reason why this place didn't take off in L.A. and a large portion of their team was laid off.

All we wanted was good hors d'oeuvres, but cut down our order because the original plan (charcuterie platter and fruit platter) was too expensive. Settled on a charcuterie tray and caprese skewers for 20. The amount of food was more than adequate and the presentation attractive in a disposable aluminum tray sort of way. The caprese skewers were fresh and delicious, and the prosciutto was very good. Granted that food prices are high in general and I want workers to be well paid, the $700 (plus a $100 service charge) we paid was too much for predictable appetizers.

With that said, here is Billionaires LA... We hired Billionaires LA for our sons first birthday party and were super excited to have them come out. They had us go to their Tarzana kitchen and taste their food (most of which was good, admittedly.) We were impressed enough to hire them and the owner did the typical spill about how he was not making money off our event and his mission was to build his name. Our party was scheduled to start at 12:30 and our contract with the company stated they would be at the park and fully set up by that time. Not only did they show up at 12:45, but by the owners own admission, it took them 30-45 min to plate just the initial appetizers and they left our guests hungry until almost 1:30. On to the meat that was to be provided. Everything tasted fine but we were completely oversold on how much would be provided. We were contracted for 50 guests and typically catering companies have a little more on hand. By the chefs own admission we were undersupplied skewers of the kabob that was on order. I won't get into specific numbers, but lets just say it was a good number short. We contacted the owner and were simply livid about what had happened. Leading up to the event we clarified with him over and over what was to be provided and he assured us everything would go off without a hitch. He spent a good amount of time bragging about how he throws big parties for Persian celebrities, yet he could not handle a 50 guest birthday party? Weak. Telling us it was raining (the park was in the pacific palisades, there was a marine layer...and everything was dry) and coming up with all sorts of excuses that just simply weren't true, the owner could simply not own up to the fact that he messed up. Period. The worst part of all this was he was able to lure us into paying for his services via cash by telling us that on top of our agreed upon contract price, he would have to charge a 13% fee if we paid by credit card. Looking back on it, that 13% would have been worth it because I would have immediately called to file a hold on the payment to this company. On top of that, the final receipt provided by this company, was a handwritten note on a random piece of paper...seriously, check out the photo. Be weary of using them and make sure you get exactly what you are contracted for. Or better yet, keep looking around for someone who isn't out to take your money. We have a lot of friends and family, not to mention well heeled clients, that throw big parties on a consistent basis and we will definitely make sure people are aware of what happened here and steer clear. Sorry Billionaires LA, mission failed.

As they kept bringing in all the rentals I was getting more and more excited as every piece was beautiful and added an elegant touch.

From his sushi station that is well beyond better then any sushi restaurant that I have been too. The quality was top notch! His quality is always the best and I dont believe we can get this type of quality of food and amazing presentation any where else. We have had different caterers in the past before we met Peyman and we were left disappointed every time. As we all know, at every Persian party we get last minute guests that like to bring their tag a longs. Regardless of the tag alongs we still had left over food to last us for a whole week. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU PEYMAN! We can not wait for the wedding. I know you're going to leave us speechless once again!
