It was served with salad, chicken fried rice, edamame and veggies. Plenty of food and so delicious! The company sent 3 employees. 2 chefs and 1 helper. They were so friendly and attentive. They set up quickly, the presentation looked wonderful, and all the guests had a really good time. I was nervous as I chose this company from looking online and didn't know anyone who had personally used them. I placed a $200 deposit and then they sent me a form to add in the details of the event, with final details (head count, allergies, etc.) due 10 days in advance. I never heard from them so I just sent it in. Which they acknowledged receiving. And then full payment is due 3 days before the event. Never heard from them. Two days before the event I had to reach out and ask for the invoice, which they promptly sent. I was nervous with the lack of communication although they always responded if I reached out. But they showed up early, surveyed the space in the backyard and figured out the table set up within the space available. One of the chefs did a lot of entertaining while cooking, where we noticed the second chef on the other grill didn't do as much. The helper was fantastic but I can see how the experience varies depending on the chef. The clean up was fast and thorough. There was zero clean up for us to do. We had a great experience and will absolutely use them again for special celebrations.

Whether it was for Fortune 100 clients or major internal teams, they delivered every single time. No multiverse-level chaos, just clean, flavorful execution. Like the Avengers mid-mission, everyone knows their role, everything hits the target (like Hawkeye's arrows). Food? Heroic. The chicken is a total scene stealer. One guest (who could easily pass as Doctor Strange with their food snobbery and complaints of most caterers serving dry chicken) said it was the best chicken they've ever had from a caterer. Moist, tender, and seasoned like it was blessed by Odin himself. And remember: this chicken has to be prepared beforehand and transported to the location, and also will likely be sitting for a few more minutes. And it was still tender! Their beef dishes? Strong, reliable, and packed with flavor. Think of Thor on a good day. We also tried a couple fish options that got reactions like "Wow, who made this?" even from the quiet folks in the back. Kinda like how no one expects Ant-Man to impress, and then he totally does. Desserts brought the house down. * Cheesecake and chocolate cake? Homemade taste, no Infinity Stones needed * Mini eclairs and cream puffs? Small but mighty, like Rocket Raccoon * Clean, simple, and hit the sweet spot faster than Quicksilver Breakfast is its own story arc. Fluffy eggs that had people actually pausing mid-sentence to compliment them. And the French toast? Sticky, golden, unforgettable. Reminded me of the kind of breakfast Peter Parker would tell MJ about, all wide-eyed. Bacon and turkey bacon were on point, as they were crisped like Tony Stark's hair in every single movie. They clearly put care into every dish. Even the simple stuff had that "crafted by someone who gives a darn" feel. Like watching Cap adjust his shield before a fight (focused and exact). Service? Full S.H.I.E.L.D. efficiency. * Always on time * Set up early, handled cleanup like pros * Drop-off catering was smoother than a Stark tech demo * No friction, no follow-ups needed. Just handled. Like Pepper Potts-level dependable (Loved her Iron Man-inspired suit, Rescue, in End Game!) We're already planning to use them again later this month. I think this team could probably cater for the actual Avengers and not break a sweat. Highly, highly recommend. Still can't believe how soft that chicken was and how fluffy the eggs and french toast was . Wouldn't be surprised if their crew had a Hulk-sized appetite and still kept everything flawless. Seriously, they're that good . Highly recommend! Avengers: rest up and eat up with A Touch of Paradise!

Well to make a long story short, every year for lunch during the event we are usually treated to Subway. Which isn't bad by any means. But this year to our surprise we were treated to tacos. Not just any tacos, these were absolutely delicious tacos. The setup was very professional. The servers were clean and well mannered. I believe it's run by family, and they do a fantastic job. We had a choice of Carnitas, Pollo and Asada. All of them were delicious! (Chicken & Carnitas were my faves). Plus the really cute girl that was working the grill was making some tasty quesadillas,.....I was in heaven. Well I was actually at the park, but you know what I mean lol Oh and the table with all the Salsa and condiments was presented really well too. And I liked the fact that the limes slices were fresh and juicy. Not like the ones you get at some places where you try to squeeze them on your taco and nothing comes out. So to sum it up,.....5 Stars for service, 5 Stars for quality and 5 Stars for taste! If I happen to have a get-together myself or if I know that any of my friends are I will definitely be recommending these guys!

With 76 guests in attendance, the food, service, and professionalism were nothing short of our expectations--and at a very affordable price. We highly recommend scheduling a tasting appointment, as it was a valuable part of the decision process for us and I definitely wanted to wow our guests with the food that we chose. It helped us fine-tune our initial menu and even led to us upgrading from their tri-tip to the braised short ribs, which completely won us over at the tasting. So tender and flavorful--our guests said that was their favorite part of their dinner! Every single item was delicious and beautifully presented as you will see in the photos, and the attention to detail in both flavor and appearance made a big impression for me. We started our planning with Lindsay Vandruff, who was fantastic to work with--friendly, warm, organized, and responsive. She worked closely with us so we could stick to our budget and never pushed us towards making any pricier choices or upgrades. Even after she left the company midway through our planning, the transition to our next coordinator, Danielle Schmidt, was smooth and stress-free. Danielle was a very communicative and ensured that nothing was overlooked in the final stages of planning. The staff on the day of the wedding was just as impressive--attentive, courteous, and incredibly efficient. They managed everything behind the scenes so we could simply enjoy our day. They even brought our food to our during our reception since we were so busy talking to our guests which was very sweet! If you're looking for a catering company that delivers quality, professionalism, and flavors, all at a good price point, Above All Catering would be the choice! We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning any type of special event!

The first time was in 2018 when we did a…read morestyle shoot event at Fete the Venue in Costa Mesa along with Wildflower Linen (La Tavola Linen) and I have had their delicious catering experiences when I went to some event/wedding industry events at the Fete! In the past I did love their food station displays from a grazing station swing to a pasta station with a giant cheese wheel and a wooden wall displays of pretzels. This time I was reintroduced to AAC through finding The Bar Caterer. AAC and TBC are partner companies and they are also owned by the same company that owns Fete the Venue. I love coming back to a company that has good memories in my mind and delicious experiences. For two back-to-back events of mine this March -- one was an event with Pacific Chorale at the Lido Theater in Newport Beach and the other a corporate event in Irvine. I was connected to Sales Manager, Danielle Schmidt. Working with her (and TBC's Carlos) was amazing! They go hand in hand. The first time I met Danielle (and Carlos) was at a site visit at Lido Theater and that meeting was so productive and all logistics was all set! Working with AAC felt easy and efficient. Danielle was great at follow ups, responding to questions, fast at emails, and personable. And can I just say -- my first walk-thru meeting was seriously one of the best! It was efficient, effective, and easy! With knowledge and experienced people working together, most events will be successful. Plus at that meeting, my client and I were gifted a surprise and delight from both AAC and TBC. Care packages of food and beverage goodies are always a perk! Those touches truly are memorable. Now on day-of event -- just wow! The lead, staff, and chefs were all on time. It was seamless in terms of setting up, prepping, and the service during the event with guests was impeccable! My two events both had tray pass. I did have some repeats, but I personally loved the Stuffed Mushroom! Second on the Beef Wellington. Sooooo good! Both events had Grazing Stations that encompassed premium cheeses, charcuterie, fruit, and crudite. The only difference were food stations! For the Lido Theater event -- we had a Flatbread Station with a Caprese and BBQ Chicken selection. The BBQ Chicken was of course most popular. The Irvine event had more food stations -- Poke Station, Pasta Station, and Korean BBQ Station. The guests loved the pasta the most. But I personally liked the K-BBQ! The Bulgogi Beef was bomb! All the chefs were so good. The Leads that worked were Jo (at Lido Theater) and Kyle (at Irvine). Both Jo and Kyle were on top of it! So organized and everything was structured perfectly. Anything we needed, they both delivered right away! I absolutely loved working with the entire AAC team! From Danielle (sales manager) to the leads and chefs and the staff -- I was impressed. It was like a well piled machine! And what was the cherry on top was the Leads providing a paper that was like a comment card Q&A. That makes me know that AAC strives to improve and make themselves better. AAC (and TBC) get 5-stars, two thumbs way up, 100%... all of the above! I will definitely refer and will continue working with them. P.S. At the Irvine corporate event -- the Vice Mayor of the City of Irvine popped by and he was raving about the food. I totally passed on AAC's info to him for the City of Irvine to have good food when they need a caterer! *insert heart emoji*
