Just like when they had their restaurant open downtown for about the first 9 months. The poor planning for the pop up event I went to, led to them running out of food and struggling to fill orders that they had already taken. I have a solution, open a restaurant location back up that's not in the downtown area and get back to making that top notch BBQ everyday like you used to!

Through the planning process, both Manny & Carly were responsive to emails, and always had helpful suggestions. I want to plan another party, just to work with them again! Highly recommend.

He was knowledgeable and flexible when it came to planning the menu and the evening. We were renting a beach house for the week and he brought an extra table and tablecloths to make the dinner a little extra special. The food was flavorful and fresh and just exactly what we were hoping for. I would highly recommend Rich as a personal chef. If we are in the area for another celebration of this type we will definitely call Rich!!

Beyond the food, Michael was friendly, professional, and created a fun, relaxed atmosphere for our group of eight. It truly made for a memorable evening. Highly recommend.

We…read morerented a house in Paso Robles for her bachelorette weekend and since she's such a foodie, I knew I had to do something special for dinner. Nick was so easy to communicate with and modified his menu for our special requests and needs. He and his wife arrived and did everything while I was busy decorating the home. If they weren't so kind, self sufficient, and absolutely AMAZING at making gourmet food, the night would never have been as special as it was.

Trumpet Vine Catering (TVC) is the best (wedding) catering provider in the SLO / Paso area, and we…read moreare so appreciative of Sara and her team for the amazing job they did at our wedding on November 5th! We had the opportunity to do a tasting pre-contract, which I would highly recommend! Tasting the dishes we were thinking of having for our wedding was a leading factor to securing their services. The top 3 reasons why I would hire TVC for catering any event is: communication, flavor, and experience. Sara is a rockstar and we would not have had such a spectacular wedding if it wasn't for her. She goes out of her way to keep the couple informed, responds almost immediately to any and all questions/requests, and is just a wonderful person to be around! From quoting to executing the onsite catering, she is there every step of the way and knows all the important details. For our wedding we selected the below items: Passed apps: ahi poke tacos, mini arancini balls with tomato bisque, and pulled pork cornbread cakes. Given that we were having an outdoor wedding in November, we wanted to have something warm for our guests. Sara provided the creative idea to mix their fabulous arancini balls with a warm soup. It was a huge hit! Salad: Pear salad fit the fall theme perfectly! Mains: Syrah braised short rib and chicken piccata. Both were delicious (short rib was more popular) and we decided to serve family style instead of plated or buffet. This was a great option for us as our guests were able to converse and pass plates around. Food came out hot, which was a critical care about for us! Sides: Potato leek gratin and charred broccolini. The gratin is one of the best potato dishes I've ever tasted. I seriously wish I had this recipe! If I were to change one item, it would have been to sub in something more popular for the charred broccolini. In addition to the great food, TVC provided pie cutting, a water station, and tableside wine services. The package they offer is perfect for your wedding and they are able to take care of any and all needs! Thank you Sara, chef, and team!

I am so upset because I was extremely excited to book this company for my wedding I had been…read moretalking to the owner since January, came up with an entire menu that I am supposed to try next week (planned a whole trip around coming to try it) had a tasting date set, I wrote her now to confirm the tasting and she tells me they are actually booked for my wedding day and another staff member booked the other wedding and didn't tell her.... Mind you we've been talking for 5 months and you didn't realize this? If I didn't reach out I wouldn't have known. How do you have that bad of communication for something like this to happen?! Completely unprofessional. They totally set me back and wasted my time. Work on your organization and communication! Probably a blessing they aren't doing my wedding!!! PS- Even though there was no contract signed yet you guys should have reached out for me and asked for the deposit to hold the date before completely booking someone else especially with a tasting booked and a menu already written up with the proposal. No one asked for a deposit yet. If someone else was interested you should have let me know and then asked for deposit. it was wrong, regardless.

On a day that no one in the family was able to manage an event, they handled everything.

In planning the event, Lisa was responsive and really helpful in advising us what to order and even not to order too much food.
