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.

Khara and Morgan were so helpful and friendly - they suggested just the right amount and variety of food and even which chafing dishes to use for our party of 30. I appreciated the great communication and convenient online customer portal. The food was packed nicely and securely and was easy to transport. Everyone at Kalei's is so friendly and kind. The party guests kept commenting how delicious the food was and asked where it was from. All 50 pieces of lumpia were quickly devoured! Thank you to everyone at Kalei's for making our event so special. We will definitely be back soon!

I really appreciate their professionalism and attention to detail. Andy even came before the event to scope out the space and do a dry run. Second, the food was amazing! We had a work event for 275 people. I continue to hear from coworkers how good the food was. You must order the roasted pig- the star of the show. We also had the island style fish and huli huli chicken. Highly recommend both. Loved the sides and the dessert was amazing! I could eat the banana bread with chocolate chips and coconut butter mochis every day. Yum. Thanks again for an amazing event!

She helped me customize the perfect menu for our smaller party, and I appreciated her flexibility in adding last minute add-ons. 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!

Taco's El Chove (Jose) - Thank you for the great food at…read moreour birthday event! My cousin and I celebrated our 50th birthday last night 12/30. We had 45-50 people at the party. We knew we wanted a "Taco guy" but we did not have any referrals or suggestions. I looked on Yelp and found Tacos El Chove. As I read the positive reviews, I took the chance and hired him. Jose was fairly priced, highly responsive, and his tacos were excellent! Jose made carne, chicken, and pastor proteins, rice, beans, and aqua fresco. Again, the food was excellent. In fact, the business where we had our event is interested in hiring Tacos El Chove for their future events. Long story short - if you are searching for a "taco guy" and run across Tacos El Chove in Yelp. Trust the reviews (like I did), trust my review and book Jose! David

We chose Culinary Kitchen for our recent wedding in Julian, CA this past June and my husband and I…read moreare incredibly thankful that we got to work with Ashley and JP for our big day! Food and catering service were some of our highest priorities to get right during our wedding and Culinary Kitchen was phenomenal every step of the way. Our communication with Ashley and and JP before, during, and after the wedding was exceptional. From the very beginning, Ashley was very responsive and regularly checked in with us, which helped me feel less overwhelmed by all the catering decisions we needed to make. I tend to err on being extremely detail oriented and I asked tons of questions early on. Ashley was so patient and thorough with each email I had sent over even before booking. Before choosing our caterer, we did 3 different wedding caterer tastings and Culinary Kitchen easily was the best of all three (we're still thinking about the gochujang meatballs and the cavatappi pasta with fennel sausage!!). On our wedding day, the food service ran seamlessly and our guests often commented on how good the food was (guests were actually trying to sneak chicken tenders off the kids plates because even the kids meals were so good). Their team also helped us serve our desserts, did our bartending, and rented/placed all of our table settings, all at very reasonable prices as part of the entire catering package. The team also went above and beyond to accommodate all of our guests' special dietary needs while still helping us stay within budget and recommending a cohesive menu. One last thing - we did A LOT of research on different San Diego caterers before our wedding (I think we sent out inquiries to at least 10 other caterers) and Culinary Kitchen's catering packages felt the most "upscale" and comprehensive without leaving us feeling nickel and dimed for every line item. I truly felt like their team was on our side the whole way. THANK YOU Culinary Kitchen for catering our wedding day!! We wish you guys the best of success!

Could not recommend him and his team enough.

Every course, from the appetizers to the main courses, was incredible and beautifully presented. Many of our guests reached out about how it was simply such good food. One of our deciding factors was the fact that Buckboard is actually a restaurant here in San Diego, so their food was not just "wedding food" but actually restaurant quality. We fell in love instantly after our tasting. Knowing they are a local San Diego restaurant gave us so much confidence in food quality, and they absolutely delivered. Their service on the day of our wedding was seamless. It felt like everything was handled effortlessly, which allowed us to enjoy the day stress-free. My husband and I planned our wedding on our own and one of the biggest reliefs for us was that Buckboard took care of so many details - from linens, plates, and bar service to the propane for the heaters. Having one point of contact for everything was a great aspect. We truly didn't worry about their services at all day of. Buckboard's familiarity with our venue was another huge plus. They worked in perfect harmony with the venue staff. And as a same-sex couple, we were deeply touched by how welcomed and respected they made us feel throughout the entire process. We wholeheartedly recommend Buckboard Catering for their incredible food, great service, and outstanding communication. They made our wedding day not just special, but unforgettable. Thank you, Buckboard, for everything, you're truly the best!
