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!

Chef Matt and his team are absolutely unbeatable!! If you're looking for someone who is able to…read moreexecute something a bit out of the norm, or even the normalist of things , you will not find anyone better than Epicurean Escape Catering. My husband and I were set on having pupusas for our wedding, and it was a surprisingly difficult thing to accomplish. From all of our efforts and research, pupuserias don't really do wedding catering, and wedding caterers don't really do pupusas, but Chef Matt pulled it off for us on a whole nother level of excellence! When we originally reached out to him, he just said that they could do it, and we were ecstatic. At our first tasting, he had already gone to his local pupusa spot to analyze the timing, and watch the whole process. He hadn't done pupusas before, but had the drive, determination, and confidence to pull it off for us. When our wedding day came, we along with every one of our guests were absolutely blown away by the quality of every bit of food and drinks that they provided us all with. He was able to find the wife of a Salvadoran friend, and her mother, to help him make them all fresh on our wedding day, on a plancha that they were able to bring. The vibe was incredible, the food was impeccable, and even the Salvadorans attending were incredibly impressed. From the yucca fries to the plantain chips, from the guacamole to the curtido, from the coffee to the agua frescas, from the salsas to the amazing service, from the compostable serving ware to the incredible bartender. People still can't stop raving. The pupusas, the dips, the black chili salsa, the coffee, just everything. Kharma worked with us relentlessly over every tiny detail to get all of it right, and everything came together SO beautifully, and went SO smoothly without even the smallest hitch. Chef Matt and the Epicurean Escape Catering team literally made our dreams come true. We cannot recommend them enough!!!

The flatbread was melt in your mouth good, just the right amount of cheese and unabashed spices. I highly recommend it!

First and foremost, I have not worked directly with the Peloton crew, this review really focuses on…read morecustomer interaction and sampling of their food. With that said, for the last few years my work has used Peloton for catering events which I have had the pleasure to work and tasted the tasty dishes Peloton has served for guests and employees (Afterwards). The Peloton crew is very professional, shows up on time, very polite, and always makes sure everyone is fed and most importantly happy. Over the past few years, I have done my fair share of tasting their farm to table type meals and I'd say that most are pretty darn tasty. I have had a few dishes that were subpar, but most of what they server is fantastic and honestly I would consider hiring them for catering purposes. Yes, short review, but it is a caterer after all, but if you are on the edge about hiring Peloton, I would suggest calling them to see what they offer in terms of a sample tasting. Better yet, gather some more info in general that may help you seal the deal or move on to one of the many other caterers in the area.

We had enough so no one walked away hungry. We kept hearing how good the food was throughout the event. I felt lucky to have found Preferred Sonoma Caterers as I am not from the area.

Let's start with the most important piece: Ron Foster is a BBQ wizard. He has the most delicious…read morefall-off-the bone ribs, and his chicken is so perfectly seasoned and moist and tender. Truly the very top of the notch meat, slow cooked all day with TLC. He cares about his food, and it shines. Sonoma County BBQ catered our wedding of 180 last weekend, and did an outstanding job. Ron was there every step of the way; easy going, accommodating, and happy to fulfill our requests. Not only did he do the food, but he provided staff at a very reasonable rate. His wife Debbie worked on our wedding day too, and was friendly, organized and worked so hard to make the day smooth. We requested that all 180 chairs be moved from the ceremony site to the reception site during our cocktail hour. This wasn't an easy job, and they did it without a bat of the eye. Did I mention the food is amazing? Multiple people came up to us during the reception, and have been contacting us this past week to tell us it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Maybe that's because it's not wedding food, it's awesome BBQ, and we're fortunate enough that they happen to do weddings! Ron has this big smoker that looks like a train engine - it's very cool. We didn't know until it happened, but he has an air horn on the smoker that he sounds when it's time to eat. Pretty neat, not going to lie. Now, if Ron would open a restaurant where we live in Alameda - I'd figure out a way to give him 6 stars on here. Bravo to Ron and Debbie, and the Sonoma County BBQ staff. Book them for your big day - your expectations will be surpassed!

They even did a couple vegetarian options that worked out great. We were blown away by the time and dedication SC BBQ puts into their food and they really made the party a complete win. Can't recommend them enough. Super nice, friendly, affordable and the quality of the food and prep will blow you away.
