Great food, gorgeous set up. Lisa is talented, easy to work with, straightforward, reasonable, efficient. I can't say enough good things. Everyone at our party commented on the incredible food and how it was laid out. Crudités, cheeses, fruit, nuts, charcuterie, baked salmon, chateaubriand, seasoned shrimp cocktail (some secret sauce, amazing). The desserts were next level. I am definitely going to book Lisa again and can't wait to have an excuse for a party so I can.

Bites and Bashes was one of the easiest decisions I made during wedding planning, especially as…read moresomeone who DIYed our entire wedding! From the menu options to working directly with Mariah, who patiently answered my hundred questions and was so accommodating with all the little tweaks I made to our order, to the delivery and presentation, everything turned out so wonderfully. And, most importantly, our guests LOVED the food! We went with the Mexican menu, along with some appetizers and the Gochujang tofu. My only regret is that I didn't order more of the tofu! We had a few vegetarians in attendance, but EVERYONE was eating it. My husband and I served ourselves last, so by the time we made it to the buffet, there was barely any left. Honestly, though, I think that says everything about how much our guests loved the food! It just gives us an excuse to host another big party so we can have Bites and Bashes cater again. I truly can't recommend them enough. Everyone we worked with was incredibly kind, helpful, and professional, and the entire experience was wonderful from beginning to end. JUST WOW! Thank you, Bites and Bashes, for helping make our wedding day so delicious and special! 5 stars isn't enough of a high rating.

Their team was efficient, personable and even spoke Japanese (we had mentioned this was a Japanese college alumni party). They were incredible to work with and all of our guests had a great experience. We ordered the Spanish Dinner with Paella and had pass around appetizers as well with glass noodles, spicy tuna with cucumber, sliders and coconut shrimp. Everything was delicious with not a single miss!! Highly recommend them for any level of catering as they created gorgeous displays, had amazing food and an efficient professional setup in our kitchen. Thank you so much for everything!!

I requested an omelet bar and a waffle/pancake bar. Also included was a coffee station along with juices. Breakfast potatoes and bacon. The array of ingredients for the bars were incredible. The beautiful fruit platter had choices I had not even thought of. All of my guests complemented every detail and also couldnt stop saying how delicious everything was. During the event they helped clear tables which was such a nice touch. I would absolutely hire Distinctive Catering again. Highly recommend

They really went all out this time! I have been hiring Distinctive Catering for decades now because I know that I can count on them to come through every single time! First of all, they arrived early, which made me feel relaxed as the host. They were a bunch of busy bees, dressed in their freshly pressed uniforms and looking every bit the professional chefs and serve staff, setting up the Tri-Tip carving station & Italian pasta bar, and creating an atmosphere of abundance and delicious beauty! Each station looked and smelled amazing! My guests didn't even wait until our emcee announced that the food was ready! lol They just followed the mouthwatering aromas emanating from the stations! In the Italian pasta bar, each guest's plate was made to order by their creative chefs and satisfied each one's preferred taste combination, whether it be chicken breast, Italian sausage, shrimp, spinach, mushrooms, fresh basil, sun-dried tomatoes, a myriad of other fresh veggies, garlic, Parmesan cheese and delectable sauces, like pesto, marinara, vodka and Alfredo! The tri-tip carving station was manned by another set of smiling chefs including their famous Caesar salad with Parmesan cheese, delicious garlic bread and extra large platters of fresh, seasonal fruit! They set up refreshing lemonade and iced tea as well and shared their ice with the bartenders too! Well-prepared and kind this band of talented chefs, they were! I always say that the food makes the party - and Distinctive Catering really brought their A-game! Everything looked and tasted fresh and delicious in glorious abundance! What an epic birthday party it was! Thanks Distinctive Catering! I want to have another party just to hire these guys again!

They use 100% wagyu beef and the patties were seasoned and grilled to perfection. Pairing them with their yummy, hand cut crispy fries made for the perfect party meal. We had a few extra burgers to spare and they even tasted great when I had one for dinner after the party! A huge thank you to the team for being so accommodating with the menu. They created custom plain burgers specifically for the kids, which was a total lifesaver and ensured even the pickiest eaters were happy :) The service was friendly, professional, and seamless from start to finish. Daniel and his partner were a pleasure to work with and made the hosting experience so much easier. If you want high-quality food and excellent service for your next event, I highly recommend them!

Communication could be better when planning the event. I had to reach out multiple times throughout the process. They ran out of burgers for my guests even though they said they brought extra patties. (I did not go over guest count nor did anyone get seconds). I did a menu of OG burgers and grilled cheese and specifically asked if there would be enough for 40 adult burgers and about 5 kid patties. There may have been miscommunication, but about 7 of my guests did not get burgers. I give 4 stars even though it was frustrating and I feel like I did not get my moneys worth. Again, burgers were great for those who ate them and Daniel and his cook were nice.

I worked with Brooke Kazebee, Director of Events, for about a month leading up to the event. Brooke was incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating as we made adjustments to the menu and guest count. She made the planning process easy and stress-free. On the day of the event, the Olive Wood team arrived early, giving them plenty of time to set up their ovens and prepare for service. All four team members were friendly, professional, and communicative throughout the event. And most importantly, the food was AMAZING! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the pizza was. We offered seven different pizza options, and every one was a hit. The fresh pasta was delicious, the salad was excellent, and the appetizer trays were beautifully presented and practically works of art. The desserts were incredible as well. After food service was finished, the team carefully packed everything up and cleaned the area before leaving, which was greatly appreciated. This was our first experience with Olive Wood Pizza, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the planning process to the food and service to the cleanup, everything was first-class. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Olive Wood Pizza to friends, family, or colleagues, and we would definitely use them again for a future event. Thank you, Olive Wood Pizza, for helping make such an important day for our family even more special!

Olive Wood Pizza set up an incredible experience at our wedding with a full woodstone pizza oven setup as well as an incredibly delicious pasta spread. The fact that all the guests were able to order their own custom pizzas and have it cooked right in front of them was amazing to see and such a cool experience especially for our pickiest eaters. People kept raving after the wedding on how good the food was and how great the quality of the pizza was. On top of that the entire staff was extremely polite and all had a great attitude. Definitely choose them if you want a delicious and unique dining experience for your weddings or parties!
