I barely remember our food tasting, as we had to postpone once due to Covid, but we remember our choices tasting great, but you rarely hear "wedding food" to be delicious but this time, the food was EXCELLENT according to our guests-- from appetizers during cocktail hour on to dinner. The chicken and salmon were tender and juicy, the "creamy" mash potatoes lived up to its adjective! Everything was delicious. The whole team, particularly, Miya was super helpful and very responsive during the whole planning process especially since we had to rent out everything for our wedding (it was not included with the venue). Nobody ever really remembers wedding food when they attend weddings. But thankfully, our guests will! Thanks to Iva Lee's amazing catering.

I would choose zero stars if I could because they simply didn't even respond to my requests to…read morecater my wedding. When I initially contacted them, they responded but after two emails they just stopped. I emailed them, called them, texted them, on multiple occasions and they just won't respond. My phone even noted that Lisa read my text and she still didn't respond. Incredibly rude and unprofessional. I know caterers for wedding are very busy so I was super patient and just kept trying to contact them. But to not even respond when I informed them I was highly interested and eager to put a contract in place because of their supposed good reputation. Beware if you are interested in them, seems like they just drop you whenever they feel like it!

We had Gourmet mini donuts bring their hot mini donut cart to our wedding last week, and it was an…read moreabsolute HIT! Everyone loved them!! the donuts were warm, fresh, and so delicious. It was so much more fun and interactive than just having a regular dessert table or cake. We loved that guests could add different toppings and drizzle chocolate syrup over their donuts, it made it such a fun and customizable experience! Felicia & Haley who were running the cart were so sweet, professional, and truly amazing to work with. Their communication was great before, during and after ! they always got back to us quickly and made everything so easy. They were such a highlight of our day, and we're so happy we chose them. I'll definitely be booking them again for another event because they were just that good! Highly recommend! THANK YOU GIRLS SO MUCH

My husband and I stopped in for lunch and truly couldn't believe the variety of protein options on the menu, let alone the colorfully-fresh toppings available.

We ate outside and enjoyed the ease of a healthy lunch. Cannot wait to come back when looking for a healthy, fast option in San Clemente.

Sigh. When you have a craving for cookies and esp want an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and the box…read morearrives from DoorDash and they didn't include the cookie you ordered... The chocolate chip classic is good but average. The sugar cookie had a dollop of icing but not even a circle. The photo on the website shows the icing should be a circle and spread out evenly over the cookie. This was definitely not the right amount of icing, it was not even 1/3 icing and pretty sure it should have been way more. It looked like my toddler put on the icing but in a stingy way. I wanted the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie but I didn't get it. How a cookie store can screw up an order that is electronic and literally has a ticket that reads oatmeal is a shame. Very very disappointing. The other two cookies I did receive were not worth mentioning they were not good.

We had so many calls with Jeff and he was extremely patient with all our questions. We took a chance since Jeff did not offer food tasting but I can now say that all his first star reviews are true! Our guest LOVED the food and raves about it. We decided on tray past appetizers and a buffet dinner. We also included a meat carving station. Throughout the entire process, Jeff recommended what he thinks our guest would like and what options complemented each other based on our choices. We also LOVED the food and the tray past appetizers we chose were so good! I wish we were able to have more! Hopefully more of my friends will host weddings and I can attend another wedding that Jeff caters! We highly recommend Jeff and he was soo amazing to work with. Thank you so much Jeff for such an amazing night!
