Matt and Patrick were extremely friendly and the food was to die for! We celebrated our microwedding in Mill Valley and I have always selected new restaurants based on yelps top reviewed restaurants. I figured this would be the best way to go to select a catering option for an area we're not local to or able to try before in person. The reviews did not steer us wrong. We would love to book again after experiencing the food and stellar service. Appetizers: We ordered the heirloom tomato bruschetta which was one of my favorites! The tomatoes were fresh and every bite was memorable! The goat cheese croquettes were to die for and the braised pork shoulder had everyone coming back for more! Dinner: I'm not a huge kale person but we had an amazing kale Caesar salad that had me hoping I could recreate it at home. I honestly don't think there was any left over! It was accompanied by the grilled antipasto platter which complemented the lasagna dinner we had perfectly! The vegetables were cooked and seasoned to perfection! We had the classic bolognese lasagna and red wine braised boneless beef short ribs for our dinner option which were gone in the blink of an eye. Dessert: To top it off, we finished with the mini amaretto panna cotta and blackberry coulis. They were as delicious as they were aesthetically appealing!

Think twice (or more) and don't do it!…read more A group of four couples (hailing from Michigan to New Mexico) were flying into Napa for a long-planned get-together. We rented a home through VRBO and thought it would be a treat to have a catered meal from Epicurean Escape. The price was over $1000 but seemed well worth it and we paid the bill 10 days prior to our arrival. Unfortunately, if not unbelievably, we were alerted by VRBO the very next day that our contract was being cancelled as the rental house had just been purchased by a new owner. Thinking we might have to cancel the trip as VRBO might not have an alternative (they did not), we immediately contacted the caterer that we would have to cancel plans. This was 9 days prior to the planned dinner. The caterer then informed us that this was beyond their normal 10 day cancellation policy and there was nothing they could do other than a (hold your breath) 25% refund!! provide a 'credit' - a great idea for a group of 8 with most of us living thousands of miles away, or assisting us in relocating to a new venue. We eventually located a hotel where we could stay and proceeded with the trip - still very much disappointed with the caterer for not refunding our money with 9 days prior notice (along with forwarding them the note of cancellation from VRBO). With a $150 delivery fee charged by the caterer for delivery to our hotel, and no way for us to warm the food in our rooms, we anticipated the meal would arrive on serving trays with sterno heaters. But of course not.. The server who delivered the food was very nice and accommodating (we tipped them as well even though the paid contract already included an 18% gratuity fee). We began eating immediately, only to find all the food (fish and beef main courses) at room temperature. Perhaps everything would have tasted better had it been heated, but classifying the meal as 'mediocre' would be overly kind. Making matters worse (if that's possible), we have been promised a 'final' contract as three of the planned attendees could not attend, and the caterer agreed to 'adjust', only to never hear back from them almost 2 weeks later. Inflexible policy + less than thrilling meals = at least in my book, an experience worth avoiding at all costs. Caveat emptor.

Willow Camp is catering my wedding in August and I can't give them a full 5 stars yet because I…read morehaven't tasted their food. My review is based on my experience with them in the planning process. WIllow Camp is run and owned by Wendy DiPaolo who has been more than accommodating throughout putting my wedding plan together. She was recommended by several people, whenever I told someone I'm getting married in Stinson Beach they said, "You have to talk to Willow Camp." With so many recommendations I was sure she'd be the most expensive caterer in the area and would be out of my budget. Turns out she's very reasonable and is willing to work within a budget while still offering a lovely menu. We're also vegetarian which she handled beautifully when she crafted our menu offering foods that are substantial enough so that our guests won't miss having meat. Most of the other caterers who created menus for us didn't seem to be able to put together a vegetarian menu of substance, I don't want my guests to leave feeling hungry! I also like the fact that Willow Camp is a smaller operation and you deal directly with the owner. Too many caterers pass you through the ranks and you don't even know which person will be at your event. This is an abbreviated review and once my wedding actually happens I'll come back to update, in the meantime I would recommend Willow Camp to anyone.

Additional to our wonderful food and attentive and caring service, Wendy helped us source folks to help set up and break down our wedding. Suki, who works with Wendy was also invaluable. They anticipated needs and really pitched in to help us throw a wedding we will always remember. They also went above and beyond and we truly felt that they cared for our event like it was their own!

They were so personable and kind. They were open to feedback and to expanding their menu based on our requests. We scheduled a 2nd tasting and got sick so we couldn't make it in person, but instead they packaged all of the food for us to do a tasting at home. When it came to the wedding they exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible and their servers were so professional and treated every one of our guests like they were special. Their effort and the quality of their work made our wedding such a special event. We consider ourselves lucky that they were available to cater our wedding and are 1000% happy with our decision to choose them.

Tasha was able to understand our needs and the vision of the bar, communicate that to her team, and put her team in position to really crush it at our wedding. The bar team was fun, approachable, and professional, and executed the vision perfectly. We had a special pre-ceremony cocktail, a post-ceremony cocktail hour, specialty cocktail menu, and even a reserved bourbon bar with bottles from the groom's private collection. All of it went off without a hitch and was a highlight for our guests! And they came in and handled their business before and after the wedding like pros. As seasoned hospitality veterans, we recommend Bartenders Unlimited and Tasha to everyone!
