My wife and I had Oak & Vine catering at our wedding in Templeton…read more Fast forward to the wedding day. Everything was perfect. Our guests continue to say it was the best wedding food they have ever had. We had short rib, chicken, salmon, carrots, potatoes, salad and great appetizers. The staff were extremely friendly to all the guests and to us. The entire environment between the food and the staff helped provide an incredible experience. We also booked their venue at Oak & Vine Vineyard Estates which made it an even more smooth wedding weekend. However, things were not as perfect going into the wedding weekend. Long story short, prior to the wedding day I anticipated giving a 2 or 3 star review but due to the outstanding wedding day service I have given a 5 at hopes that my experience before hand was not the normal. High level issues included extremely poor and unprofessional communication over 11+ months, many false promises made, having to pry information from the team, no contract or detailed proposal of expectations, and generally making my wife and I feel in the wrong when asking simple questions. We planned our entire wedding ourselves from Tennessee and we only had two times that we were stressed. One was when deciding who not to invite and then the 11 months working with Oak & Vine catering before my month of coordinator took over after I was nearing my breaking point. I truly hope our experience was rare or a one off. If that's the case I highly recommend this catering company purely because how good the food and the people were on the wedding day. But be cautious. Overall, everyone I spoke to are good people that put together a great event but who possibly could benefit from a business assistant.

The planning process was simple, thoughtful and spot on. I told her of my wife's favorite foods and she incorporated them all into a spectacular dinner. She thoughtfully curated each dish and served and explained them all to our group. She prepared a "grazing board" to start and then spring salad, truffle Gnocchi, Salmon Caprese and Beef Braciole. The food was tremendous but her interaction and personality made it all. My highest recommendation! Thank you!

They did not understand my excitement over each curated and beautiful plate that came our way. Precision and talent appeared on each dish. This is not your typical brunch to pig out on typical breakfast foods. This was to die for elegance in a casual and open environment. You have to try it - if only just once. But, once you do the experience will haunt your memory and you'll need to visit again. My favorite dish of the day were the nachos and the monte cristo.

Hailing from great work in Las Vegas, I liken Matt's style and many beautifully designed courses to Jenson of Cass House ( who we miss very much out in Cayucos!) Matthew exudes passion in his presentation and creativity in what he delivers. We look forward to offering intimate dinners here at The Casitas Estate with Matt. We recently enjoyed a 10 course dinner paired with Chamisal Vineyards reserves and it was a culinary delight! Congratulations to all of us on Matt's move here to the central coast --we are excited to share his talents with our lodging and event driven guests!

Now…read more I am a professional wedding planner and have had the pleasure of tasting dishes from some of the best chefs/caterers/restaurants in SLO county. However, I actually started my career in restaurant and bar consultations in Los Angeles. Having originally come from a place where the restaurant industry is tough and teeming with amazing talent, at times it has been a little rough on my ever-hungry stomach to find overhyped food, that totally underwhelmed. I am so very glad to share that Chef Matt of Matteo's Gourmet Food Services is the answer to so many fantasies of amazing dining. Chef Matt's food speaks for itself, embodying his wonderful skills, passion and creativity. I enjoy his approach to dining, creating refined, well-balanced and well-executed menus, however successfully brushing away pretentiousness. I can compare his dishes in a way to French dining, in the layering of flavors, yet the beauty of his ingredients and allowing them to meld together, is so simple and true, that I automatically am taken back to honest flavors of Italy. It is such a nice blend of the refined without the bullsh*t. I can write a piece about the amazing 10-COURSE DINNER he created, but one simply must try his food to truly understand what an asset Chef Matt is to our lovely county. Without a doubt, his dinners would be perfect for intimate parties that would absolutely keep every guest praising for days. Chef Matt IS NOT TO BE MISSED.
