I recently attended a conference at UC Berkeley, and they featured breakfast both days and lunch…read morethe second day catered by Ann's Catering. It was all so good! I've never had such tasty food at a conference event before, much less food brought in by a catering company (rather than prepared by the on premises dining services)! It was definitely way better than any food prepared at my own university. And looking at the current menus offered by Ann's Catering, it also looked like their pricing was extremely reasonable and competitive too! I especially enjoyed the fresh focaccia bread on the lunch sandwiches, and the quinoa and wild rice salad was a revelation. I originally only took one small scoop, and only because it looked healthy. But then I went back for seconds and took leftovers home because it was so darn tasty! And the chicken satay and beef teriyaki sticks were also really delicious and tender! We had more than enough food for everyone to be well-fed, but there weren't many leftovers either, which I think is a testament to how tasty everything was. I would not hesitate to work with Ann's Catering if I am ever looking for a catering company provider in the East Bay.

Leading up to our wedding, working with On the Roll Catering and Events was a great experience…read more Lena was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. The tastings were excellent, and we truly felt heard. They were open to our feedback and made adjustments based on our preferences. The cocktail hour was a highlight - the food was delicious and beautifully presented, and our guests were raving about it. However, the dinner service didn't go quite as smoothly. We were running a bit behind schedule transitioning guests from cocktail hour to their seats, and the catering team served all the food before everyone was seated. As a result, our meals - and many of our guests' - were cold by the time we ate. Additionally, wine and water weren't placed on the tables before the food service began, despite having discussed our wine service preferences in detail during a planning meeting. My husband, my dad, and our venue coordinator all voiced their frustration during the event, and it took longer than expected for the situation to be addressed. Some of the groomsmen even took it upon themselves to grab bottles of wine and serve guests directly, which was helpful, but clearly not something they should have had to do. On top of that, far too many bottles of wine were opened unnecessarily, so we had to send open bottles home with their staff instead of saving them for another occasion. That said, our guests still commented that the food itself was good. We just wish the day-of coordination had matched the quality of the planning phase. With a bit more attention to timing and execution, this could have been a five-star experience.

I never imagined how the risers would change the look and feel of the dishes on the tables. Just gorgeous and so much more appealing! I loved not worrying about serving utensils! The name plates describing each platter was icing on the cake! The food was spectacular! I was stunned by the number of people who complimented the vegan and vegetarian options. Both vegans and vegetarians were tickled pink about our thoughtfulness to spike out specific dishes for them and our carnivores couldn't get enough of it as well. Simply put, my guests told me they never had vegan food that actually tasted delicious!     All in all, I love the hors d'oeuvres and mini dessert meals! People came hungry and left satiated so that's compliment enough! I also love how everything was compostable!   Clean up was a piece of cake and the pick-up process allowed us to go out for a nice family brunch before our families headed home!   Thank you so much!!!  You will be hearing from me again and again!   And did I mention, I had NO leftovers! My son's friends came over and finished up what little was left. Nancy M. was absolutely right on about the amount of food and dessert I needed. I loved having no leftovers!!!

Cold, military-style, and deeply disappointing farewell from Standard Fare…read more.. My wife and I have been going to Standard Fare for over a year. The food was always good, but the service was never particularly warm--polite, efficient, and impersonal, like a well-drilled operation. Today we took a twenty-minute ride with our six-week-old baby for one last visit before they close for good. We arrived before their advertised closing time, yet were coldly denied service. There was no one waiting behind us, but we were met with an inflexible, robotic "sorry, we're closed." No one was overtly rude, but the interaction felt rigid and mechanical, as if following procedure mattered more than acknowledging the people standing in front of them. It would not have taken much effort to accept one last order from a loyal couple with a newborn--especially since nobody else was waiting behind us. In the end, Standard Fare is closing exactly as it operated: precise, rigid, and lacking warmth. Hopefully the next business in this location will treat its customers with a bit more empathy.

It was pretty hard to pick from the menu items, but I settled on the Frittata with a side of Fennel Sausage, sourdough toast and a Arnold Palmer.

They did their best to accommodate all patrons despite it being very crowded and crazy busy. Overall I would come back here, probably right as the doors open to be guaranteed a place to seat and not have to wait and hope for a seat. Oh the music was on point!!
