I was looking for a caterer for a small {50 guests}wedding. After talking to 9 different…read morecompanies, I chose Flavor Chef. during my first call I could tell the owner was all about making my wedding perfect and serving the food my guests would love. Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

We had not anticipated such an amazing experience given it was for a small dinner party (10 ppl) versus a big event like a wedding or retirement party. The appetizers were amazing and dinner was perfect. We will definitely be coming back for any future needs. Everyone in our dinner party loved the food and the experience. Basically, we are all super fans!

He brought everything he would need including cooking and serving tables, plastic ware, plates, a couple of salsas, beverage and cups, and it all looked so nice.

Best of all, Ilona created the most beautiful catering table for the event and she truly took our "cutie" citrus theme to heart. All of our guests loved the food (especially the chicken and waffles!) and wanted to know who catered the party. I rarely do Yelp reviews anymore and this wasn't even requested, but Bits and Bites deserves the praise and more than 5 stars!

Luckily Ilona had a great menu of items for us to choose from to design a perfect brunch birthday. She brought everything for the setup (except the table/linens), plates, flowers, tier trays, etc... Not only did she set up the table perfectly everything tasted wonderful. Everyone couldn't stop raving about how beautiful and delicious everything was. Looking forward to hosting another party with Ilona!

The food was beautifully presented, incredibly delicious, and honestly one of the highlights of our wedding. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful and special. This wasn't just wedding food. This was **EPIC**. Chef Andy handled everything from start to finish, which meant my husband and I had one less major thing to worry about on a day when there were about a thousand moving parts. That alone was priceless. He and his team were professional, organized, gracious and simply incredible. I've been to a lot of events over the years, and I always remember the food, especially when it's really good. Kalei's is one I will remember for a very long time. When your guests are still talking about the food days later, you know you chose the right caterer. Thank you, Chef Andy and Khara and the entire Kalei's Kitchenette team, for helping make our wedding so memorable. You didn't just feed our guests. You WOWED them.

Everyone raved about the food and drinks. We loved working with a family business. There's nothing like working with people who want the best for you. We were treated like family and loved sharing our lives and getting to know the family. The team is flexible, communicative, professional, and talented!! Adriana's Cocina was by far our fave wedding vendor. They thought of every detail, communicated a proactively and consistently, and went way above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. Adriana guided me every step of the way with what food would be best in the summer weather, what drinks and dishes would be crowd pleasers, and made lots of modifications for our guests' MANY MANY dietary restrictions. She gave me wedding wisdom beyond the food and drink as well, and I loved every phone call and meeting we had. When the wedding day came, I had no worries about the catering or bar. I knew the team had it handled, and they did. Catering is one of the most critical parts of the day. It's important to have folks who are reliable, professional, work well with anyone, and are unflappable like Adriana Cocina. 100% recommend!!! Miss them all already.

I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am for Adriana and her team!!…read more For the months leading up to our backyard wedding, Adriana was communicative and friendly, answered all of our questions with clarity, and even came to our home to do a site walk through so that we picked the best place for them to set up. On the day of, her team was extremely friendly, helpful, and perfectly on time. The set up was BEAUTIFUL - she asked for some decor inspiration so that her set up was cohesive with the rest of the event - so thoughtful! I wish I took more photos because everything was picture perfect. We went with the taco buffet and absolutely everyone was raving about the food. Here in socal, you can find tacos everywhere, but Adriana's stand out! You can tell the pride this team takes in high quality ingredients and perfected recipes. I could not recommend Adriana and her team enough, I will be turning to them for every single catering need I have. Thank you, Adriana!!

I had guests coming up to me telling me how they quite literally cleaned their plates and went back for seconds. JP really went above and beyond to provide us with the best service and experience. He even made sure we were fed pre-ceremony. An all around wonderful guy. He's communicative, detail oriented, and a wonderful partner in what can be a stressful planning process. Could not recommend him and his team enough.

I hate to do this, as I understand what a bad review can do for a small business.. but after seeing…read morethe other reviewer who stated that JP backed out of their wedding (who, I'm not affiliated with in any way), I think my experienced needs to be shared, as I hope this will help other couples. I gave JP (owner) an incredible amount of grace throughout the process and yet, he still managed to screw us. It was not a single issue, but a failure on multiple levels. THE SHORT VERSION: 1) he was very unprofessional overall in his communication. 2) he backed out of bar service a few days before our wedding and ghosted us after the wedding without a refund, 3) without exaggeration, some of the food at the wedding was inedible THE LONGER VERSION: The tasting went amazing. Ashley (who no longer works there) was extremely communicative. They asked for 50% as a deposit (which is pretty high) but the food was really good so we accepted. However, the tasting was the only good thing about our experience... 1. He was unreachable for months leading up to our wedding. The company phone number was either not taking calls, or went straight to voicemail. No response to emails. He finally got back to me about one month before our wedding (we thought we got scammed at that point). I gave him the benefit of the doubt despite all of this 2. He backed out of providing bar services a week before the wedding. I knew something was off when he wouldn't provide us with an shopping lists for our cocktails, despite following up. A few days before our wedding, our coordinator told us that his bartenders did not have proper certification and without one, could not serve alcohol (note: this was merely an RBS certification... EVERY OTHER bar service that we spoke with met this requirement). I specifically asked at contract signing if they were certified. Also, JP did not inform us that he was dropping out. I had to text him myself for confirmation, as I was unsure if he was going to hire other bartenders, if they would obtain the certificate, or if he was dropping out. Only then did he tell me he would not provide bar service. Again, this was 7 days before the wedding. He also took 3 more days to clarify exactly what service he would no longer be providing, when we obviously needed to know asap as we were scrambling to secure another bar service Even though this certification is the minimum requirement for many venues, he tried to pass the blame onto the venue, stating that he never encountered this requirement before (how is this possible? As a wedding caterer, he should have been familiar with these requirement, whether or not he met them). Huge red flag. Despite this, I didn't make this an issue 3. He promised to refund us for the bar service but ghosted us after the wedding. I disputed the charge and he finally responded, threatening to sue. 4. He was unreachable on the morning of the wedding. Again, poor communication.. 5. The food failed to meet even our lowest standards. The 50% deposit really had our hands tied and we couldn't back out despite the red flags. As long as he showed up and served food that was remotely close to our tasting, we'd be happy. However, he totally skimped out on the quality and quantity. For example, our passed appetizers were smoked salmon bagels. I'm not sure if he used old bagels or what, but the bagels were stale and rock hard. My friend tried to bite down on one and immediately spit it out. My aunt had to warn guests not to eat them. He swapped out some of the items that we paid for with inferior options (ie: we paid for a fig and honey roll... he just added a basic dinner roll). Guests told us they were confused that our menu did not match the food. Some guests got half a dinner roll (meaning they didn't have enough) The main entrées did not match the quality or size of the original dish we were promised at the tasting. I understand that preparing a meal for 2 people is not the same as 100 people, and there is inherently a drop in quality on the wedding day. However, this was completely different. Many guests attested that the salmon entree was inedible as it was incredibly dry and overcooked. Look at the photo of the tri-tip I uploaded and the difference between what we were promised and what we received We asked for leftovers to be packed but never received them. All in all, I was super understanding and even allocated 15% as tip for his team despite his poor communication. Despite this, the fact that he never gave us a refund for the bar service is appalling.
