If you're looking for some good food and even better company, I guarantee that you'll find it with Off the Vine Dining. We hired him for our wedding in January 2024 and they exceeded our expectations. With such delectable choices in food they literally have the means to meet anyone's budget. And even more so, they really made it a point to make it work for us pricewise without skimping on the quality. I recommend them 1000% to work with as they were timely and just so friendly. Do yourself a favor and schedule a tasting with them -- you won't regret it! They will even apply that amount that you're paying towards your overall price for the actual event so that was helpful! Make a trip to their home-base for an outdoor picnic style that was so unique and quaint and set the atmosphere to be filled with so much love and grace. SO much love that not only did we get served amazing appetizers and dinner -- we were reminded of joy, peace, and the true reason why we were getting married. We cannot thank Brian enough for blessing us, and for making this process so easy for us! Taste Testing: Choose a few appetizers and a main meal. I recommend the Mahi Mahi mini cups -- this was my favorite thing! I was literally eating this while we were doing our pictures LOL. We were als loving those prosciutto boats too! The tri tip and the tacos were such a good choice for all the people we had to feed! We even had some left overs for all the people who stayed after so it was perfect! Excellent salsa and sides -- it was plentiful and flavorful. We had so many compliments on the food! Dessert: Strawberry shortcake was AMAZING. It's on a biscuit, which makes it SOOOO MUCH BETTER. They also make excellent Chocolate chip cookies and white chocolate macadamia cookies! Pro-tip: We asked to bring our wedding wine choices so we can pair it with our food! MAKE A DAY OUT OF IT -- this was some time away that we could just relax and enjoy each other. Planning a wedding was not my favorite thing -- I'll admit it. But choosing Off the Vine Dining was the easiest and best choice because they just made it so easy. Wedding Day Service: Amazing! I cannot thank them enough for their Excellent service. They went above and beyond. They were seamless and stress-free in their set up and I didn't have to do much as the bride on the day of other than tell them where to set up. Their Bartenders (Kristina and Jose, I believe)-- they were EXCELLENT and went above and beyond. They were entertaining and honoring of the space! They were so thoughtful and personable, I cannot thank them enough. BYOA -- and they make due with whatever they have. We only wanted whiskey and hard alcohol. We didn't do shots -- because we didn't want people to get too crazy but it was so fun, regardless. The entire staff was professional and they felt like family. Shout out to Brian who literally made sure my husband and I found our own appetizers and plates to eat filled with delicious food. This made our life sooo much easier since we were so busy with the wedding! Made in excellence. Executed with grace. We cannot help but know that we were incredibly blessed by this establishment! We are forever grateful! BONUS: They do not use seed oils in their cooking! AND THIS MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR OVERALL HEALTH. I am blown away by this. Truly a gem, city on a hill type of business that truly helped set a foundation in our marriage. They truly do everything in love and it shows by even the details of caring for your health in such a fundamental way. Thank you so much! read more

Such a great family and bbq spot. It's hidden away off the 67, but pay attention to the signs. We love this family so much. They put on some great food, and their heart deserves it. Get there on time, or sometimes they run out. Best bbq ever. The outdoor scene is an outting your family will remember. The outdoor lights and experience were amazing. Do yourself a favor. Check this place out. read more

WOW! Brian and his team at OVD are AWESOME. From planning to execution of our event, they were awesome, attentive, and kind. We hired OVD for our holiday in-office corporate gathering and instead of doing the atypical lunch, we had them serve breakfast. To say it was a hit, would be an understatement. My team LOVED the change of pace from lunch to breakfast, and everything was DELICIOUS! The fan favorite was definitely the homemade buttermilk belgian waffles, whipped cream and blueberry compote, with the runner up being the morning potatoes and FRESH homemade salsa! And if having waffles and eggs prepared fresh in front of our staff wasnt enough, they even made DOLPHIN BANANAS- which my team still is talking about today. We never want to eat a regular banana again now that we have been spoiled with the food art by OVD. The spread was beautifully curated to our requested theme, and we could not have been happier! We will absolutely be hiring them for future corporate events! Thank you for the awesome service! read more

Off the Vine hosted my wedding and honestly made it so amazing. Michael, our chef for the night was one of the kindest and most helpful servers I've ever had. He made us the most delicious appetizers and meal where he accommodated to some special requests from my guests. The set up for my dinner was beautiful. My husband and I reflect back on the day and keep saying we are so happy we picked Off the Vine to help us celebrate. The process for booking Off the Vine was so simple and easy, which are probably not words typically described for wedding planning. The owner was very kind and helpful in creating a menu and planning the details for the big day. Thank you for having us and for being something wonderful for us to reflect on when we think of our wedding day. read more

Off the Vine Dining is absolutely the BEST catering that I have ever had. They hosted my recent wedding rehearsal dinner AND the post-wedding brunch. Let me tell you - my friends and family were RAVING about the food! So many people came up to me at the rehearsal dinner and was like, "holy mackerel, this food is incredible! Where did you find these guys??". What makes Off the Vine Dining so special is that Brian and his team make the food from THEIR HEARTS. Their whole team is passionate about serving others. It's too bad that the Yelp scale is only 5 stars because they deserve 10 stars! They are the best for ANY occasion and I will be recommending them to everyone I know for every party/wedding/holiday event. They are truly the best in the biz! Attached is a photo of Brian and I at the rehearsal dinner where I honored and thanked him and his team for making our evening exceptionally special! read more

I used Off The Vine catering for a holiday party for 50 at my home, and the experience was FANTASTIC! The team was very professional, courteous, and went right to work upon arrival. Let me say this in all Caps - THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC! I went to a corporate event that Brian catered and fell in love with the food there, which is why I used them for my party. I asked Brian to replace some items with GF options and we literally had to hide the GF desserts so those with GF requirements would get them. And I can go on and on and on about the stuffed mushrooms - trust me, order extra because you will need them. I would highly recommend Brian and his team for your dinner or event, and I would also urge you to be up front with your requirements and budget and let Brian get creative - you won't regret it. I will definitely use this team again! read more

We have been using Off the Vine Catering for a couple years now. They have done intimate events for us (with just a dozen people) to our larger company events with hundreds of people. They have traveled all over San Diego County (and a bit beyond) to provide an excellent experience for our events. The quality of food is truly unparalleled. Our events are always new, as Brian is constantly innovating brilliant (and fun) menus for our guests to enjoy, allowing us to keep our events fresh every time! You can tell each meal is slaved over, with every detail paid attention to. He feeds all of our veterans, which is a feat in itself, and always have some food left over. On top of a stunning meal, his presentation is incredible--and saves us money on decor and table accessories. Brian and his staff really provide it all, which takes so much stress off of us. We can't recommend Off the Vine Dining enough--we just wish we had found him sooner! read more

I can't say enough about Off the Vine Dining. Seriously one of the best culinary experiences we've ever had! I first came across them to book an intimate/private dinner for my family. And wow we were blown away. First the setting was stunning. Attention to detail was top notch. And the food was as stated above, the best. Each course of the meal was superb, it was such a magical special experience. Following the dinner we started to follow them on social media and attended a dinner event they were part of at a winery.

Went wine tasting with my sweetheart and Off the Vine was offering food pairings. We ordered a sampler platter that came with pulled pork sliders, thai lettuce wraps, stuffed mushrooms, olive tapenade and grapefruit cupcakes. I honestly don't like grapefruit. But if I could only have one cupcake for the rest of my life, it would be that one. The whole sampler was fantastic! High quality ingredients and such attention to detail. We went back and ordered the cheese and fruit platter and grapefruit salad (which my wife enjoyed). The service they provide is on par with a fine dining restaurant. Enjoy! read more
