He also made sure he took good care of the one vegetarian in our crew, as well as being very attentive to some food allergies we had in our group. His pricing was fair, and he was super prompt and flexible. Our comms were a bit hit or miss as we dialed in details a couple months before the event - but once we got to within a week or so, and certainly as we were going through the event, his comms were on point. He provided a bartender on our first night, and that was probably the only place there was room for improvement, as the bartender wasn't very personable, and left without saying goodbye or cleaning up after himself. We'd definitely use Matty again next time we're out in the desert!

The food was abundant, delicious, and beautifully presented. The variety of choices was exceptional, and the made-to-order omelets were truly a highlight of the event. The wide selection of fresh ingredients allowed everyone to customize their omelet exactly to their liking. One especially thoughtful touch that impressed everyone was that, after placing an omelet order, the hot dish was personally delivered to guests wherever they were seated. Trevor and Ethan arrived promptly at 8:30 a.m. for my 11:00 a.m. party and immediately began preparing everything from scratch. They carefully cleaned and plated fresh fruit, arranged an assortment of breads, and created a stunning brunch display. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and organization made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. At the end of the event, they left my kitchen spotless. My friends were so impressed that several are already planning a BBQ gathering just so we can have Trevor cook for us again!

In the Coachella Valley everyone has "the best" of "anything" and "everything" when it comes to…read morerecommendations, but the reviews people are willing to spend the time writing always tell a tale. No one takes time to write about the "most mediocre dinner I ever had, it was just what I ordered." NO! It's either the VERY BEST and you want to shout it from the rooftops, or it was so incredibly bad that it is worth ruining a company's online reputation... in turn, ruining their in-person reputation. I have never been to an event and thought, "Oh, I can't wait to write about this and tell everyone I know!" UNTIL NOW... For the past several weeks I have been assisting a friend in planning a private party to celebrate her 25th Anniversary with a 50-Person Guest List. We interviewed several caterers, all with 5-Star reviews, all with something they felt they brought to the table that others didn't, but of the several we spoke to, Chef Jeff was the one we both immediately felt drawn to. He doesn't have a gimmick, he wasn't set on steering us away from the the menu we asked for, as was the case with the others. He didn't bat an eye at our request for "filet & lobster," but rather, he elevated it to the most incredible filet and lobster pairing one will ever taste. That was a big deal for my friend, as it was what was served at their wedding reception 25-years ago. Although we explained the importance of the dish to the other caterers, each of them found a way of saying the dish was "played out," and their suggestions drew us farther and farther away from the vision. From the very start he took our suggestions and elevated them into a menu that dreams are made of. As the event got closer every single vendor gave us a reason to worry that it wouldn't come together in time, but not Jeff. He has such a calm demeanor and not once did we feel he had lost site of the vision we had created together. Last Saturday was THE DAY and, as expected, Jeff arrived at the exact time he said he would . He brought everything he needed, and he even provided the catering staff, who were all as equally calm and put together as their Chef. They were all professional, with warm smiles. You don't get stuffy uptight service with his team. It's obvious that his catering staff respects him and has been with him for a while, as they all work in tandem with one another in perfect harmony. Chef Jeff was great to work with and all of his suggestions fit the vision perfectly. Even with his responsibilities of manning the kitchen, ensuring his staff stayed on task, and of feeding 50 Guests, he still managed to keep the dinner on schedule, but never hesitated when someone asked for his assistance. As much as I would like to keep this gem all to myself, I would be doing a disservice to my peers if I don't share it with you all. Everyone raved about the food, from start to finish, and I have already shared his information with a handful of people from the dinner that are hoping to book him for their upcoming events, and we learned that several of the local attendees have hired his for their events in the past and continue to use his services regularly. For your next event, big or small, Chef Jeff of Jordan's Creative Catering is truly "the best" - but he doesn't need me to sell you on it - he's got that covered all on his own.

I would give 10 stars if I could! We'll definitely be working with Chef Tonya for all of our future…read moreevents. You won't regret booking her! We wanted to host an engagement party for 25 people at home with hors d'oeuvres and dessert bites. Upon reaching out, Chef Tonya quickly responded with her full menu offerings and suggested popular items, as well as what she thought would pair well with our "wine night" theme. On the day of the event, we were in awe of how delicious everything was. She's incredibly intuitive and knows exactly when to take initiative too, which we appreciated the most. We didn't need to direct her on where anything was--she simply found what she needed without interrupting the flow of the evening. At the end, she thoughtfully packaged all the leftovers using our Tupperware and Ziploc bags, making it easy to store or send food home with guests. Some of our favorites from the night were the crab cake bites, baked potato bites, lemon bars, and cheesecake bites. All the veggies in the crudité were incredibly fresh too!

We had a group of 35 guests and chose a menu of small bites. The presentation was beautiful (they even provided a centerpiece!) , there was something for everyone (young children to special diets) and every item was absolutely wonderful! Made from scratch, with good, fresh ingredients. Raves from all our guests! Perfect. My son and his fiancé also used Tine to Dine for their day after wedding brunch.

I interviewed several private chefs to cook a dinner for 14 and knew almost instantly that Ray was my guy. As the dining table and kitchen are in close proximity, I knew chef would necessarily be part of the evening and I wanted someone whose personality would vibe with our unruly, irreverent, straight/gay tribe of bff's. What was served was superb. The food was yummy, scrumptious, delectable. All the words. And it was a real challenge to devise a menu that accommodated numerous personalities and dislikes. So, rest assured Ray is creative, resourceful and very skilled. But HOW it was served - with gregarious warmth and humor - truly made the evening special. Everyone totally fell in love with Ray and swooned over his culinary offerings. Days later, I was still receiving gushy texts about the food, the chef and the magical atmosphere. Thank you Ray, for helping turn a potentially crappy moment into a lovely, unforgettable one. I will take a little credit for having the common sense to choose you :)
