I don't have the time to write reviews, however I do feel it is the right thing to do so when someone in business does not conduct themselves professionally or respectfully to a potential customer. BE AWARE I read Jonathan's other reviews, saw the negatives but felt it could have been a one off or maybe miscommunication. Now I understand they were right and I should have avoided Jonathan. I used yelp to reach out to 4 different in home chef services to put on a dinner for my wife and I for our 3 year wedding anniversary. We have two kids under two years old so going out to a nice dinner just wouldn't be possible for us. Jonathan was one that I chatted with on yelp. He gave me a quote for a 4 course dinner. I had to ask him a couple times to make sure that the price included him as the chef coming to prepare the dinner, was good included, etc? He asked to talk on the phone to discuss, so I gave him my number and he called me. Over the phone he explained that the quote included everything except alcohol and gratuity. He then walked me through his menu idea for the 4 courses, talked about what he is doing right now based on the season. All 4 courses sounded great and I agreed to do it. He asked for my email address and said he would email me the menu and details shortly. He never emailed me, so I text him the next day if he could email me over the menu and details. He just text me back the 4 course menu, all of which was different than what we discussed and a significant downgrade of a menu over what we talked about on the phone. I asked him to do the original menu options we discussed and he told me he would up-charge me $25 for lobster bisque, even though he offered that to me over the phone and said nothing about an additional charge. Again over the phone he said only potential up-charge is when someone asks to add a lobster tail to the dinner. I questioned this and then he became very rude, arrogant, and unprofessional. See texts... I then lost my chef for my anniversary dinner after telling my wife I had set something up special for us. There should be repercussions for this kind of business owner. I would avoid!

We had a wonderful flavorful experience! I wish there was more I could have done to show my appreciation for the chef as well as the gentleman that came with him. I could taste all the spices he used in all of his dishes. Even the thyme he added to the strawberry appatizer was so fresh and wonderful in every bite. I was so pleased with the homemade birthday cake! He remembered all my favorite ingredients. Chocolate, cardamom and pistachio yumm. I noted that the pistachios were roasted and salted which gave it that extra special bite. His attention to detail was amazing and even had my picky guests eating foods they otherwise wouldn't! I will definitely recommend them to others for small or big gatherings. Thank you Chef Jonathan for making my birthday dinner perfect!

These ladies of Chef Jonathan are the sweetest. They made it easy for me to enjoy my party.

I hired Platinum Bite for my adult holiday party last Saturday. Chef Jonathan came to my place to take a look and gave recommendations. He was super friendly. So I decided to go with him after interviewing different vendors. It was my first time to work with Chef Jonathan and his team. The entire process was simple and easy. They were on time for the set up. And everything was ready before the party started. They made it easy for me to enjoy my party fully. I love that they took over my kitchen and the end of the day they returned me my kitchen spotlessly. The food was amazing!!! My guests still talk about the mash potatoes and the lobster. The grazing table was also a big hit. Thank you Chef Jonathan and your team! You guys really wowed me and my guests! Definitely will use you again! And oh definitely recommend Platinum Bite Catering!!

Jonathan was amazing!!! His cooking was sooooooo delicious and I loved his attention to detail! He was such a fun guy to have be our cook and waiter and was super professional, courteous, and friendly. Even when my husband asked if he can replace his steak menu options for a wagyu steak that isn't part of his menu, he complied. He kept his mask on the whole time, and after he was done, my kitchen was sanitized and spotless! I would love to have him cook for us again! I was embarrassed that you saw me ugly cry cause of the surprise but thank you for the wonderful experience I will never ever forget! You and your cooking will forever be a part of this beautiful memory of our 12yr anniversary dinner. Best one ever!!

charcuterie board

Chef Jonathan is amazing! I LOVED his food on Christmas Eve for our outdoor ceremony. Every item was pre-packaged to keep everyone safe! Every item was made deliciously including the appetizers, main course, sides, and desserts! The guests loved the surprise dessert boxes, so much so there weren't any left for myself as the bride and the groom when we were done tearing down and cleaning up Jonathan and his sister Wendy even took the extra step of taking the charcuterie board we were going to have displayed and wrapping it up so that we could take it home and enjoy it for Christmas instead :) I am BEYOND in love with the food, when we finally sat down to eat at 4pm, the food was delicious! And I know if was even more quickly consumed it would have been even more amazing! I really can't express how impressed I am with the meal Chef Jonathan created, and how happy I am with how everything turned out! I didn't get to taste anything ahead of time due to COVID, but I'm so glad I went with Platinum Bite. The lamb, which I saw photos of Instagram was AMAZING! The salmon was cooked perfectly! Everyone talked about how amazing the food is and asked how to find them. Even as there was mad chaos at that end of our outdoor ceremony to figure out how to distribute and carry stacks boxes, the chef was really unflappable and nice. I can't wait for a future event and have their food again!!!!! They're amazing and have got amazing talent!

There are not enough complimentary words available to express how I feel about Steve, his staff,…read moreand the wonderful service he provides. If you need someone to flawlessly handle the catering for your event, then Hawaiian Luau OC is for you. I recently lost my wife of 40 years to cancer, and she was a Hawaiian dancer for many years. I thought do hold a luau style celebration of life to honor her endless Aloha Spirit and love of the Hawaiian culture. I did not know where to turn to begin to create a perfect evening to honor my wife, but I was blessed to discover Hawaiian Luau OC. From my first conversation with Steve, I instantly knew that I made the right choice. It was like talking to a friend from the first word, and I could tell he was fully invested in doing everything possible to make this evening memorable in every way. He even offered to prepare samples of his food and bring them to my home for my approval. Who does that anymore?!? On the day of my wife's celebration, Steve and his staff arrived right on time and set up a wonderful Hawaiian style buffet that was beautifully decorated. Every item of food they provided was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. I have been receiving compliments for two weeks from my guests saying the smoked pork was, "the best I've ever had" and the teriyaki chicken was so tender that it was like, "the filet mignon of chicken." Absolutely incredible food from the appetizers to the desserts. Now that the event has passed, I am actually kind of sad that I no longer get to work with Steve, because the experience was that enjoyable in every way. If you have an upcoming event, I hope you will consider Hawaiian Luau OC, because you will walk away with total satisfaction and a big smile on your face.

Everyone at the reception was raving about it! There was plenty of it and left overs to boot. They served the cake as a bonus. I cannot say enough good things about them. I would definitely use them again and recommend them without hesitation!

From the outset, we were incredibly pleased to work with Brittany as our event specialist for our…read moreNovember wedding at Serra Plaza. Her transparency, responsiveness, attention-to-detail and professionalism consistently set her apart. Brittany was always proactive and reliable; we never had to chase for answers or run around in circles. One of the greatest advantages was her delivery of timely, updated quotes--something we deeply appreciated for effective budget management. Even before we booked the venue, Brittany walked us through detailed rain contingency plans, which proved invaluable when we encountered a once-in-a-blue-moon torrential downpour on our wedding day. As a bride coordinating family travel from across the globe--while also navigating significant challenges with an approved vendor--Brittany stepped in at critical moments and ensured the day ran smoothly from an operational standpoint. Our guests could not stop praising the outstanding, multicultural food (especially the bulgogi beef bao, dessert stations and confetti cake) and the thoughtful allergy accommodations, which were handled seamlessly. Guest experience was one of our top priorities, and Brittany's execution gave us complete confidence. On our wedding day, anything within her scope was something we never had to worry about - and the food was one of the TOP compliments received from guests. The only feedback we strongly encourage the business to consider is a thorough audit of its approved vendor list. Unfortunately, our greatest challenges stemmed from a vendor on this list. Brittany's efforts were instrumental in mitigating issues caused by this vendor that could have otherwise impacted the success of the event. The strength of Serra Plaza's internal team deserves to be matched by the same standard across all required vendors to protect future couples. Beyond this, our experience was exceptional, and we are deeply grateful for Brittany's leadership and support. Thank you to the full team for stepping up to the plate when we needed it the most to execute the best day ever. We recommend Jay's Catering and Serra Plaza to any couple for the food, professionalism, service and kindness!

First, the best dinner I have had in years. The food was prepared properly, temperature controlled, moist, excellent, and I can't say enough about the entire meal. I wanted seconds which is extremely rare for me. From the beautiful presentation to the excellent quality provided, this is a company I have put on my list as number one! and have shared with several others. If you haven't used them, I highly recommend giving them a call. I honestly would like to have more as I write this review.

GUYYYYS, I am not a huge fan of hand rolls (or sushi in general.. I don't know, it's the texture I…read morecan't get over) but I can honestly say I've now converted after trying this place. You don't know what you're missing until you've had Nori!! My cousin celebrated her 30th birthday a week ago and surprised us with this delicious catering company at her party! Everything tastes so fresh and the protein to rice ratio was perfect! Usually I'll have a mouth full of rice, but this company is super generous with their protein! They also have a few side dishes that pair very well with these hand rolls. We all met Kevin and Abe and they were one of the most personable people I've ever met; both very humble men and very, very easy to talk to. What an amazing experience! If you ever want to hire a catering company for your next event, I 1000% recommend Nori. I'll definitely have them at my next one!

Hands down, one of the BEST food experiences I've ever had at an event. If I could give 100 stars,…read moreI absolutely would. Booking Nori Handroll was a breeze -- Kevin was super easy to communicate with and made the process completely stress-free. When they showed up for the event, the attendants were so friendly, professional, and attentive -- true pros all around. Now... the FOOD. Oh my goodness. Absolutely incredible. We had salmon, Maui tuna, yuzu hamachi, and unagi for the guests who don't eat raw fish, and every single handroll was a hit. The sauces they provided? Fire. One of our guests was actually pouting all night after Nori left because he wanted more -- that's how good it was. Honestly, just writing this review makes me crave them again If you're thinking about booking Nori Handroll for any event, do it. You will NOT regret it. Amazing service, amazing food, amazing everything. I would 100% book them again in a heartbeat.

Whether the occasion calls for fine dining or casual BBQ, they can truly do it all -- and do it beautifully. The food is always amazing, the pricing is reasonable, and the team is a joy to work with. They listen carefully, adapt to your needs, and bring your ideas to life. You come to them with a clear vision or just a loose theme and they will work with you to make it special. I've hosted events both at home and at outside venues, and Saltwater has even helped me find a venue when my first choice wasn't available. Their professionalism and dedication are unmatched. At one party, when our ovens suddenly stopped working, the chef and his assistant literally ran back and forth to a neighbor's house to make sure our guests never noticed a thing -- talk about above and beyond! I've trusted them for long-planned events like weddings and for last-minute gatherings like a celebration of life, and they've handled every situation flawlessly. Lou and Nancy are true pros who care deeply about their clients and the quality of their work. I can't say enough good things about Saltwater Catering -- they make every event feel special. You won't be disappointed!

Present and accommodating staff, especially with our dynamic production schedule. Good variety of food menus. They were communicative with our production team on what they needed: two 8-foot tables and an EZ-up tent with walls attached to block the wind from cooling the burners. We'd recommend listing "includes dairy" as an allergy warning moving forward, since we had a couple minor instances with our crew's needs. 2 out of the 3 days, the staff helped us box lunches and leftovers to-go, which was incredibly helpful and appreciated. On the last day, they provided boxes, but our crew had to box it up. Overall, Saltwater Catering was easy to work with, and we'd use them again if we film in the area.
