I wish I could report that my…read moredaughter and son in law also had "great communication" and that their wedding guests enjoyed delicious food and seamless service at their wedding Memorial Day weekend, but Mark didn't show up at all. He did not return any calls or texts on the day of the wedding, leaving us to scramble to find tables, dishes, food, bartending, servers, etc for 150 guests and venue staff. Thus, I cannot comment on the quality of the food or service because THERE WAS NONE. As for communication, two days after the wedding, he sent an email that actually begins "I'm sorry I flaked on your event." I'm afraid I find that communique a bit lacking. There have been several convoluted,, ungrammatical emails and texts sent since, but all fail to explain why, apparently, no one besides Mark expected to provide service, food or bartending for this wedding which was arranged and paid for months in advance. It seems that no one in his employ had access to an address, phone number, email, or vehicle to attempt provision of services. He has intimated that our family's 1 star reviews are somehow to blame for his inability to even attempt to make this right. I'm confused as to how many stars he feels are warranted in this situation. The families of the bride and groom were stressed and distracted during what should have been a joyous day, and that can't be recovered. In this case, the one star reviews matter far more than the fives. **Update: 8/3/26 Received the same cut and paste reply to this review that he sent to others whose events he also failed to go to stating that he'd like to take "full responsibility" for the problem. Start by refunding the thousands of dollars you took in advance of our May event! We haven't seen a cent.

It matters to us that we're contributing to local farms and producers through our eating too, so we especially appreciated her noting all the sources of the ingredients.

Feel Good Foods catered our wedding at Radonich Ranch in May 2026 and they were absolutely…read morephenomenal. They were a joy to work with and put their hearts into serving an incredible family-style dinner as well as drinks throughout the day. We had a number of guests tell us it was the best wedding food they've ever had and we loved having a fresh, locally-sourced menu that showcased the best of the spring season. To name a few: crab cakes with lemon aioli, fennel and citrus salad with citrus-date dressing, and lemon thyme chicken with summer squash and feta salsa verde (yes, it was moist, and it was delicious!) It was clean plates and full glasses all night - we can't give enough thanks to Amy, Heidi, and their team!

Santa Cruz Shave Ice is super easy to work with. The owners are accommodating, very pleasant to interact with and are AMAZING party planners. Chermae and Sybil are friendly, funny and truly enjoy the fruits of their labor. If you want to move your party to the next level, we highly recommend hiring Santa Cruz Shave Ice.

Angela catered our wedding in Ben Lomond a few weeks ago. I am not exaggerating when I say her food…read morewas the #1 thing guests complimented! Angela is not only a talented chef, but she was truly a joy to work with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Angela was always the perfect combination of confident and flexible. She is happy taking charge on menu creation or building around a couples tastes. She was also able to get creative to accommodate veg/pesc/vegan guests and those with food allergies. Her staff also did a great job bartending and were generally putting out great vibes all night. I can't say enough good thing and I will absolutely look her way again when I need a caterer!

I wish I could give 6 stars. Angela's food was amazing - it's been five days since our wedding and…read morepretty much everyone I've talked to who attended the reception said they were WOWED by the food. We had a guest list of 150, and Angela and her team executed this very high quantity of food without sacrificing any quality or taste. We had the roast chicken, tri-tip, potatoes, asparagus, mixed greens salad, and rustic bread loaves. For our appetizers, we went simple and just did the cheese & charcuterie plus shrimp cocktail. I am so glad we went simple and "bare bones", because everything was well prepared, well presented, and delicious. And we still had a lot of leftovers!! Angela was also great to work with - very responsive and well communicative throughout the process. And her staff on site was fantastic - they did bussing and made sure everyone was satisfied with their meals. They also made sure that me and my groom had a chance to eat - which I have heard a lot of couples say they never get to eat the food at their wedding (I was determined to - it's the most expensive meal you'll ever have!!). The price was less than what other caterers charge, but with all the service and additional fees it still comes out to a pretty penny. But I'd do it again, because honestly there were no complaints from guests. And it's worth spending money for good food, good service, and happy guests. I'd recommend Angela blessing for any wedding or special event - glad I found her on Yelp!

Joshua was very patient with me, as I spoke to him several times and went back and forth on whether or not to get a caterer or just order food from a restaurant. In the end, we decided to hire Joshua to make appetizers and the desserts, as well as a server and bartender, so the reception would be less stressful (and tastier!). Let me tell you we were so happy we did it! The appetizers were delicious. He even made us a little extra so we had leftovers - the bruschetta was delicious in the egg casserole we made :) The cupcakes were also amazing! The server and bartender were professional, friendly, outgoing and very helpful. They even stayed a little extra to make sure everything was cleaned up. Thank you, Joshua, for making our day even better!

My girfriend and I ate at Conscious Creations earlier this evening because I got a Groupon for a…read moredinner for two for $17. I'm going to list the reasons for my two- star review. 1. The food is a 6 out of 10 at best. I had a salad, soup and a vegetarian "enchilada." The dressing on the salad was good, the soup was bland and the enchilada was full of tofu and didn't taste remotely good- or like an enchilada. 2. If we hadn't used a groupon, the prices for each item would have been ridiculous. The salad is $7 and is simply a small plate of greens with dressing. The entrees run between 10 and 12, and really aren't worth it. 3. Josh, the owner/manager, who was also somewhat our waiter is not the friendliest or most agreeable person. I asked if any of the food we ordered had peanuts, since I'm allergic and he looked at me like I was making some big request. He acted like most of the things he did were him doing us a favor, which exactly the opposite of how you'd like to feel going out to dinner. I ended up having an allergic reaction to something in my food, even though he told me my food was not made with peanuts. The ambiance is somewhat nice, and everything is pretty fresh, but even with that, I'm sure there are better vegan/vegetarian places out there. If you have a nut allergy, are not trying to spend a fortune on a meal, are looking for something other than vegetables and tofu in your food, and like friendly service I suggest looking somewhere else. UPDATE: I originally gave my experience one star, but came back to give it another because Joshua sent me a sincere message apologizing for my nut reaction and for the service, and offering a refund for the money I spent on the groupon.

She was very clean and diligent about upholding any changes needed for COVID. We would highly recommend Mickey for anyone needing a caterer for a party/wedding.

Mickey catered my wedding a couple of weeks ago and I think I got more compliments about her then on my dress! I think after a wedding most people want to know when they can see photos, but my guests want to know where they can buy Mickey's sauce and candied basil! Working with Mickey was an absolute joy. She was very organized and communicative throughout the process. I choose a venue where we had to do everything from rent tables to dinnerware to buy ice. This seemed like a very daunting task when I started out, but Mickey held my hand the entire time and made sure everything was perfect! From my perspective, the day of was perfect. I'm sure something went wrong, but I didn't notice a thing because Mickey and her staff handled all of it. Mickey even made the time to go to each and every table at the wedding and make sure the guests had everything they need. I also want to mention that a lot of our 185 wedding guests have special food allergies, and Mickey accommodated all of them! I also told Mickey prior to the event that I get hungry-cranky, and she must have come up to me once an hour to make sure I had food if I needed it. I've since learned that the rental place provided us with a few broken umbrellas and other items. Mickey kept track of everything and took the initiative to contact the rental place for me and demand a refund. This is just one example of how Mickey treats her customers, like royalty. On top of how great working with Mickey is, she is a genuinely charming and extremely talented individual. She won't brag about herself because she is to humble; but Google her. There are some articles out there that will tell you just how talented Mickey is!
