The decor and arrangements were good too but I would say they might look better indoors than outdoor. They had a lot of decor options to choose from. The only con I had was with the menu; it is not descriptive enough to understand the ingredients and meat. Since the names of the dishes are also very traditional, you are left guessing at what they are. I would say confirm what the dishes are/ ingredients to make sure they cater to your taste.

The Persian Chicken Kabobs are excellent. Between Santorini and Danville International Market I think Diamondbite's has the juiciest by far. Grilled to perfection. For the ground meat kabobs, I can only recommend the Beef version. The ground chicken was dry and overly seasoned - salty to the point of being inedible. The saffron rice is also good, though some more oil would be nice. They also offer extreme contrast of flavors - a side of pickled cabbage that's really tart and a single jalapeño pepper that's spicy for me. Definitely plan to try some of their other offerings. They ran out of Aush Resteh last time so it'll be something to look forward to forward too.

As an event planner, I have worked with many caterers before, and I can say without hesitation that…read moreSimple Elegance Catering is by far, the best one I've ever worked with when it comes to professionalism, taste, service, and quality! I recently hired SImple Elegance for our first holiday party in our home and it was the best decision ever. I worked with Amber, who was lovely - super on top of all communication and very patient with all of my questions leading up to the event. She arrived on time for set-up, and brought the most delicious food for our event with perfect little signs and menus for our guests. We served appetizers at 5pm and dinner at 6pm, and Amber assured me that the food would stay warm for both courses on the sternos and equipment provided and she was absolutely right. The food was warm for HOURS at the party, which made everyone want to go back for 2nds and 3rds. They make clean-up so easy too where all you have to do is empty out the equipment and make sure there isn't any food inside, no washing or rinsing required. Portions were super generous and the food was sooo yummy. We have a bunch of really good chefs in our friend group and honestly, everyone was super impressed. My favorite items on the menu were the fiesta chicken endive salad, loaded potato bites, pretzel bites, goat cheese and sundried tomato crostinis, chicken breast in sundried tomato sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, and the pan seared tenderloin tips (basically our whole menu LOL). We also had a kids menu with butter noodles, fruit, and bread, and at the last minute (a few days before the event) I asked Amber if she could add in a hot cocoa bar for the kids. She brought the cutest little toppings for the hot cocoa bar including peppermint spoons to stir in the hot cocoa - a huge hit with the kids! Will absolutely be hiring Simple Elegance for future events and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs an incredible caterer!

Wow... Hosted an…read moreevent with about ~115 people. While I was unfamiliar with ordering food for a large number of people, Priscilla helped recommend the amount of food for the requirements, "I don't want to run out of food during the event" and "we love desserts". Another side note: I was catering snacks rather than a meal. I ended up ordering - tri-tip - mashed potatoes - roasted veggies - assorted bread - lemon garlic salmon - veggie garlic pasta - Greek salad - dinner rolls - fresh fruit display - fresh fruit tarts - petit fours - gluten free mini cupcakes: red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, lemon I appreciate that Priscilla suggested to halve the salmon fillets to have double the number of salmon pieces for guests to have snack portions rather than meal portions. Although mini cupcakes were not listed on her menu, she was able to provide them. Also, you can ask her about gluten free desserts. You can have more than just macarons. Compliments I received... "Did you make the food? The salmon and tri-tip were so juicy." "This is better than most wedding food." 2 people inquired who I used to cater for the event. I received general praise that the food was good. I received explicit praise that the petit fours and fruit tarts were good. The mashed potatoes were thick but good. Passion for catering's setup and tear down went smoothly. It was maybe 20-30 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of tear down. I appreciate that they were able to provide decor for the food tables. They also provided some takeout containers for us to take leftover food. 10/10 would cater from them again.

We hired Henry for a birthday party for a group of family and friends (around 70 people, including…read morekids), at the park this weekend, and he did a fantastic job! It was so convenient to have someone else take care of all the shopping, prepping, and cooking. Our guests loved the food. Many took home business cards. Henry was so easy to work with, my wife and I were wondering if we missed any important planning steps. Haha. It took just a few emails to get a quote, secure the date, and finalize the menu. Henry and his son showed up at the park exactly when he said he'd be there, and the food was cooked on premise, exactly on time. Henry sources all the ingredients from Costco and buys everything needed the day before. I'm a huge fan of all things Kirkland. Always solid quality and value. I've been pretty lazy about writing Yelp reviews lately. Figured I'd write one for Grillaxin since many of the other reviews are years old, and the website seems to be defunct. I think they're more active on Instagram now.

Awesome food and great service!…read more Some friends catered from Vatos Tacos for a pre-wedding luncheon for some friends in their backyard. The mom and uncle of the owner showed up early to set up and start cooking. They were professional, kind, and very friendly. I was stoked that they cooked everything fresh on site and didn't just have food in warmers. We got to choose among proteins and veggies, and the salsa bar was awesome. Kids and adults alike really enjoyed the churros too! They boxed up all leftovers after the event, so we ate tacos for leftovers and froze a bunch too for later. The only thing one of my friends said was that paying extra for salad wasn't worth it because the salad was just from a bag. Everything was delicious, and I ate too much! I highly recommend Vatos Tacos for your catering needs!

I used Havana Catering for the first time for my baby shower this past weekend and had a really…read moregreat experience. I had heard of them before because a friend used them for their wedding, and since I plan events for a living, I've worked with a lot of caterers. For my own event though, price mattered a lot, but I still wanted really good food. After reaching out to a bunch of places, I went with Havana because I had tried their food before and their pricing was very reasonable. We ordered full trays of adobo chicken, lechon roasted pork, crispy tofu, paella, sofrito rice, black beans, corn, poblano mac and cheese, and plantains. I did bring in one dish from another restaurant, Jamaican oxtail, just because I know my guests are big foodies. The biggest hits from Havana were definitely the poblano mac and cheese, lechon, and the paella. Honestly, the mac and cheese was the standout. Everyone kept going back for it and I wish I had ordered an extra tray. What really stood out to me though was the delivery experience. The driver called me ahead of time, brought everything in, and set it all up. He opened the trays with gloves, added sauces, arranged everything nicely, and even put out utensils and labels. I've had plenty of catering deliveries before and this was easily one of the best. He was just genuinely kind and went above and beyond, and it made a big difference. Overall, everything went smoothly, the food was great, and I would definitely order from them again.

Ohh, Where do I begin?…read more Let me first start off by saying, if you are looking for a caterer that has amazing food, Havana Catering. If you are looking for a cater with A+ service and were complete pros all around, Havana Catering. BUUUTTTT!!!! If you're anticipating on taking leftovers home, eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next 7 days in a row, bc you ordered way too much (like 300 people too much), and you don't want to get sick of it, and still then, every bite, even on the 21st meal in a row has an omggggg reaction, thennnn, Havana Catering is for you. From beginning to end it was a pleasure working with Joelle, Klowie (and the other two gentlemen at the restaurant.) They made sure our my dad's celebration of life event was amazing and smooth and easy and it was. They took great care of us at the restaurant, too. They were helpful, professional and sensitive, given our circumstances and went above and beyond to accomodate our every need, from prices to logistics. True professionals. Thank you, for making my dad's celebration of life reception such a success and so beautiful - Havana Catering. Well Done!

My little one didn't have a game until later, so I made sure to get him a plain quesadilla. The taco was $3.50 and the plain quesadilla was $4. Not bad for today's pricing. I would definitely go back for their food and choose them for catering events--their setup was perfect for a big event like this, with all the sides and drinks already set up and the taqueros making the food as you order.
