She was always quick to respond, she worked with me to develop the perfect menu and the food was AMAZING! We were able to accommodate both surf & turf and let me just say the beef wellington was BOMB! Everything was delicious and her staff was so nice, professional, but down to earth. They cleaned up afterwards and left the place looking just the way it did when they arrived. I can't say enough good things about Tres Bien and would definitely use again in the future.

The food was so good and our guests raved about it even after the event. We opted for a multi course plated service and everything was delicious, presented so beautifully and made fresh local ingredients that truly wowed us all. I highly recommend their short ribs, baked havarti oysters, and do not pass on Bruces famous brownies! We absolutely loved how great the team was to work with as well. From the very beginning Bruce listened to the tastes/foods that were important to us and delivered on our special day. Jordan was a true hero handling our event rentals and making sure we had everything we needed for our bar service. Both were very responsive the entire time, and even hosted us for a tasting a few months prior to the event allowing us to sample what we were getting ourselves in to. I'd like to add that we also played a round of golf with them- these guys really love what they do and the people that they get to work with and it was really special for us to gain friends along the way. Thank you guys again for such a wonderful experience and we can't wait to work with you again soon!

Everything was made from scratch, and the guests could not stop raving about it.

Our family celebrated a wonderful 70th birthday party with ten guests, catered by Chef Hannah, with…read moreassistance from her husband, Ian. Working with Hannah was a pleasure, from initial outreach, to preparation, to the meal itself and to cleanup. Planning a group celebration for your mother-in-law from a remote location can be stressful, but Hannah made it seamless through her prompt responsiveness to my outreach and by effective communication. In the planning stage she provided several meal options that made use of local fresh materials and were accommodating of tastes from age four to 72. Hannah and her husband showed up on time the day of the party and had the meal prepared precisely at the scheduled time. Throughout the day they were professional without being stiff and collegial without being intrusive. The meal itself was wonderful, consisting of cheese tarts, with caramelized onions and mushrooms for the adults, and with bacon for the youngsters, goat cheese salad, fresh cod and honey glazed salmon, and crème brulee and berry pie for dessert. Hannah and Ian served us at an appropriate pace. Lastly, they cleaned up everything after dinner and left the kitchen cleaner than it was before they arrived. Really, there is nothing more I could have asked for from the experience.

When we approached Hyson, we had some pretty specific needs: a venue without a kitchen, a large headcount, and a menu that was "Persian-influenced." He was ready (and excited) to tackle it all and was very hands-on--he designed a gorgeous menu, hosted an incredible tasting, and led a very helpful walk-through of the venue. Since the wedding, we have received nothing but glowing feedback about the food. So many people have gone out of their way to say how delicious it was, how they went up for seconds (or thirds!) and/or cleaned their plates, and how beautifully he fused Persian and Western cuisine. We honestly can't thank him enough for transforming this night into the dinner party of our dreams.

We rented a house for our wedding in Carmel by the Sea, and wanted a plated served dinner for our rehearsal dinner, and breakfast items left for the next morning of the wedding.

The services was perfect, the food was DELICIOUS, and I am an amateur chef myself. We had appetizers, salad, and short ribs and shrimp and everything was cooked to perfection. My family could not say enough about how the cheesecake was the best they have ever had! Crystal and the team cleaned up and were on their way like absolute professionals. I could not have asked for a better evening! Then we move on to breakfast. The quiches were so flavorful, and the fruit tray tasted like she put a little spritz of heaven on every peace of fruit!
