    We used IDK Eatz to cater food for a birthday party and were very happy with the spread. Firstly, what drew me to them was their presentation and menu that is out of the box. Having eaten so much indian food in the bay area we loved the creative menu options from IDK. Jai is great and gave us suggestions based on menu and number of people. The staff that worked were kind and lovely to work with. Reservations, and their co-ordinating staff was on point with communication. We went home as very happy hosts, and will highly recommend IDK!

    We ordered from IDK Eatz for our son's first birthday. Since the theme was Mexican fiesta, it was only fitting that we order fusion tacos from IDK. Chef Jai knows what he is doing, the fusion tacos were on point. His Cholae were probably the best I had in my life! The whole combination of tortilla with cholae and butter chicken/ paneer went really well and was delicious. Our guests were so happy with the food. The service was prompt and communication with Nicolana was easy. We are sure going to cater food from IDK Eatz again.

    With our concerns with dining outside due to COVID, we wanted to replicate an upscale restaurant dining experience at home. We invited Chef Jai to cook dinner for the two of us for our anniversary. Chef Jai was very friendly and give us the dining experience we were looking for. Chef Jai prepared and served us a very contemporary Indian fusion 6 course meal. He created multiple tapa style appetizers including veg dumpling, veg tulips, sag makki canapes and sliders. The main course was Indian fusion tacos with Mexican fair and finally fig cardamom yogurt as dessert. Every item served was deliciously prepared and tastefully served. We have eaten Indian fusion food at other places but always Indian fusion food implied mellowed down flavors. Chef Jai brings the full kick of Indian flavors to fusion food, which we very much enjoyed. We are thankful to Chef Jai for coming to our house even during COVID situation and giving us a memorable dining experience.

It was such a meaningful milestone event, and their team helped make it truly special. Jessica, the Executive Sales Manager, was fantastic from start to finish -- communicative, accommodating, and incredibly supportive throughout the planning process. She also reassured me that all the food was gluten free (except the rolls) and had vegan/vegetarian options available. On the day of the event, Vicky, Maria, Olivia, Jordyn, Corey, Nitish, Ellie, and Nick were absolutely exceptional. Everything was handled seamlessly and professionally. Their calm, steady presence made such a difference. They checked in at just the right times (never intrusive and always helpful), and anticipated needs before we even had to ask. We received so much positive feedback about both the food and the service; our guests were very impressed. At the end of the event, I hadn't yet had a chance to eat, and the team was so kind and patient, making sure I was taken care of even while they were clearing up (ahead of schedule, so we had no fear of getting close to the "hard stop" time at our event space). That level of thoughtfulness speaks volumes about their professionalism and care. I am so grateful to On the Vine Catering and the incredible team for helping us celebrate our employees. I would highly recommend them for any event where quality, professionalism, and genuine care matter. Thank you so much!

We had salmon and chicken at our wedding and to this day we still get told that it was some of the best food our guests have had. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff were as well. Everyone was approachable, friendly and attentive. I'm so thankful for them and for their efforts to make our day so memorable!

    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.

Every single dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with so much love and care. You can tell she puts her heart into her work.

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also kind, professional, and easy to work with. If you're looking for a caterer who brings soul to the table and takes pride in her craft, Passion for Catering is it! I'm so grateful to have experienced her work and will absolutely be recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you for making such a special day even more unforgettable. You truly outdid yourself!

When we arrived home I unpacked & cleaned everything, and noticed I didn't get a Chardonnay, so I emailed Cabana Dave's right away to check to see what to do. I followed up with another email on 5/13 with no response. UPDATE Dave called me back personally today-he explained that they've been swamped & he said sorry for not getting back to me sooner. He has the wine & I can pick it up tomorrow! I love that they are helping local businesses during this time, and really I'd give more stars if I could get someone to respond to my question. I'll defiantly order again, mistakes happen but it's great when they are fixed! Thanks Dave!

She laughed at and corrected me during our brief conversation, making me uncomfortable and quick to move on to another caterer. I am sure she had no ill intentions but as someone who has worked in customer service for seven years this was an unacceptable way to be treated. It came across as rude and thoughtless. I am giving this two stars instead of one because I hate to poorly effect this catering company's ratings because of a phone call, but I was very put off by this interaction.
