After talking to 9 different…read morecompanies, I chose Flavor Chef. during my first call I could tell the owner was all about making my wedding perfect and serving the food my guests would love. Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

They are typically at the La Jolla Open Aire…read moreFarmer's Market on Sundays and so we often splurge and get half a dozen cookies to eat throughout the week. They offer a variety of unique cookie flavors along with granola. You really can't go wrong with any of the options (pretty much had them all), but our favorites are the salted brown butter chocolate chip, espresso toffee chocolate & sea salt, peanut butter brown butter butterfinger, and the s'mores. They can package up your cookies in a nice box as well or they are wrapped individually. It's hard not to eat all of the cookies in one sitting, but they do last throughout the week if you have some self control! They do offer samples and even have a frequent buyer card. Buy 12 and get one free! I've gone through probably more cards than I should, but these cookies are just that amazing! Pricing is reasonable for the quality of cookie you get. The owner, Max, and the rest of the folks that work there are super friendly and you can tell that they have a passion for baking these delicious goods. I definitely recommend checking out Magnolia!

The caterer arrived late, and food service didn't begin until about 1.5 hours after the scheduled time. The service was also very slow, causing our baby shower to be delayed by nearly two hours.

Throughout the entire selection/planning process, each member of Wild Thyme was professional and quick to respond, which made it that much easier for us. Guests continue to rave about the food that Wild Thyme provided, noting that it was some of the best food at a wedding they have ever had. Some thought it was a restaurant and wanted to make a reservation! For anyone considering Wild Thyme, would give my highest recommendation, experience was A+ all throughout.

We worked with Rachel and Jordan and booked about 1.5 years in advance. They were communicative and very flexible with my multitude of changes throughout the year and a half working with them. I was even able to add a cake tasting and cake later on and change certain rentals very close to wedding date. They were patient and accommodating and willing to make just about anything work! My guests were incredibly happy with the food and the service, and my husband and I absolutely loved the waiter assigned to us on wedding day! The only thing that went wrong was half of our string lights (required by DH) went out for the entirety of the seated meal due to an installation error. I'm not docking any points from rating as this was a genuine mistake and WTC reached out to their EPR contact right away to have them return to site and get it fixed. It did take about an hour+ to resolve but WTC was very apologetic and even provided a a partial refund for the lighting. One thing we were bummed about was that cake service occurred during the main dance floor time and if cake wasn't accepted from the server, it was a missed opportunity. According to my guests, about 90% of people didn't get cake as it wasn't left on tables and most people were on the dance floor. 2.5/3 sheets cakes remained at the end of the night. One big win was TWC was so organized and accommodating for the many dietary restrictions/allergies we threw at them and served our guests appropriately. We received no complaints and guests and family said it was handled seamlessly! All in all, my husband and I were so pleased with our decision to work with WTC and will forever cherish the role they played in making our day amazing!

On December 12, 2024, we celebrated our third consecutive Annual Real Estate VIP Clients: Gratitude Gathering party, beautifully catered by The French Gourmet. Once again, we had the pleasure of working with Jennifer--who is simply fantastic! Additionally, Charlie and the on-site event team, including Jeff I and Ben L, provided exceptional professionalism and accommodation. I can also add that long ago, I was a Professional Wedding DJ and used to work many weeding receptions with The French Gourmet, so I'll add that I've known the staff's quality service and food for over 20 years! Each year, our guests ask, 'Who catered this?' and I'm proud to respond, 'Just like last year--the best! The French Gourmet!' As always, the menu, decor, and setup were outstanding! As a professional residential REALTOR® in San Diego, it's vital for me to express gratitude to my amazing team, vendors, and VIP clients while impressing them with a high standard of holiday magic at these gatherings. The French Gourmet helps me achieve that beautifully! Thomas J. Nelson, Big Block Realty - San Diego

They also offer discounts and sales often and often give a cash discount when paying too. Our guests always rave about the food and they are the only taco company we know of that offers fish tacos as an option. We also love that they offer more unusual items such as grilled veggies and churros. We highly recommend Taquizas José for your next event.

From the moment we inquired to the day of the party, we received several emails confirming the location, setup area, menu, and guest count. I had zero concerns about their ability to execute the plan, and I especially appreciated their 48-hour final confirmation. Our guests (95 total) raved about the food. We ran out of beef a little earlier than expected, but our people do love to eat and appreciated that the staff didn't skimp on portion sizes. I think my guests took "all you can eat" seriously--LOL. My only suggestion would be to let Taquizas Jose know if your group loves to eat, as you may want to factor that into the amount of meat they bring. We've been feasting on leftover beans, rice, and tortillas this week--thoroughly enjoying it. Safe to say no one left hungry, and we're still enjoying it days later. 10/10 would (and hope to) book again for any event!
