She always got back to me quickly and handled the day amazingly well.

We'd highly recommend her for your next event!

We cannot thank Park Avenue Catering enough for making our wedding day perfect…read more Caitlin, our coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with. She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, keeping us organized and taking all the stress out of the logistics. On the day of the wedding, the food was great.

We hired Park Avenue for the dinner, bar, and dessert which included excellent food, service, and details (spa water!), all of which we received multiple compliments about. Beyond the quality, working with Anthony and the team was so seamless. They were probably the most professional vendor we used, always on top of the timeline and details, but they also approached the process for what it was: having a party! We were able to provide the alcohol, beer and wine, to save a little, and they helped guide us on that too. They were so great, we'd recommend them to anyone.

This was a very nice venue for our private luncheon for approximately 75-100 people…read more There were 3 separate private parties going on at the same time, and Sally Tomatoes provided the buffet lunch for our event. The buffet was very good, with roast beef with horseradish, grilled chicken with a cream mushroom sauce, mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, green salad and rolls. A chocolate brownie cake was served for dessert, however, i didn't try it. The setting was warm and elegant with the round tables and black tablecloths. A stage was set up to announce special awards and to honor our fallen and those we lost in the last year. It is pretty certain that the reunion luncheon will continue to be held a Sally Tomatoes, and they have never let us down.

I ordered some dishes here for my daughter's 8th grade promotion party. Party is on Saturday but…read morepick up on that day isn't available so I had to pick it up the day before and heat it up the next day. Pick up is a little challenging because they don't answer their phone so I couldn't ask if I should park on the yellow or not. Second, when I walk in there was no one their to greet you or a bell to know if someone was there waiting. There was a group of people sitting down, looks like they're food tasting the owner is one of them. He took awhile to acknowledge me but he saw me walk in. Then proceeded to ask if someone is helping me (not very friendly), no sir, you saw me walk in a bit ago. They need a bell to let know a customer is waiting. I ordered chicken Parmesan, Eggplant Parmesan and polenta. Food is good but not sure if it's worth all of that trouble to be a returning customer.

typically do not leave reviews so when I do it's either absolutely phenomenal or far In comparison…read more Epicurean Escape Catering was by far PHENOMENAL! Matt and Patrick were extremely friendly and the food was to die for! We celebrated our microwedding in Mill Valley and I have always selected new restaurants based on yelps top reviewed restaurants. I figured this would be the best way to go to select a catering option for an area we're not local to or able to try before in person. The reviews did not steer us wrong. We would love to book again after experiencing the food and stellar service. Appetizers: We ordered the heirloom tomato bruschetta which was one of my favorites! The tomatoes were fresh and every bite was memorable! The goat cheese croquettes were to die for and the braised pork shoulder had everyone coming back for more! Dinner: I'm not a huge kale person but we had an amazing kale Caesar salad that had me hoping I could recreate it at home. I honestly don't think there was any left over! It was accompanied by the grilled antipasto platter which complemented the lasagna dinner we had perfectly! The vegetables were cooked and seasoned to perfection! We had the classic bolognese lasagna and red wine braised boneless beef short ribs for our dinner option which were gone in the blink of an eye. Dessert: To top it off, we finished with the mini amaretto panna cotta and blackberry coulis. They were as delicious as they were aesthetically appealing!

Think twice (or more) and don't do it!…read more A group of four couples (hailing from Michigan to New Mexico) were flying into Napa for a long-planned get-together. We rented a home through VRBO and thought it would be a treat to have a catered meal from Epicurean Escape. The price was over $1000 but seemed well worth it and we paid the bill 10 days prior to our arrival. Unfortunately, if not unbelievably, we were alerted by VRBO the very next day that our contract was being cancelled as the rental house had just been purchased by a new owner. Thinking we might have to cancel the trip as VRBO might not have an alternative (they did not), we immediately contacted the caterer that we would have to cancel plans. This was 9 days prior to the planned dinner. The caterer then informed us that this was beyond their normal 10 day cancellation policy and there was nothing they could do other than a (hold your breath) 25% refund!! provide a 'credit' - a great idea for a group of 8 with most of us living thousands of miles away, or assisting us in relocating to a new venue. We eventually located a hotel where we could stay and proceeded with the trip - still very much disappointed with the caterer for not refunding our money with 9 days prior notice (along with forwarding them the note of cancellation from VRBO). With a $150 delivery fee charged by the caterer for delivery to our hotel, and no way for us to warm the food in our rooms, we anticipated the meal would arrive on serving trays with sterno heaters. But of course not.. The server who delivered the food was very nice and accommodating (we tipped them as well even though the paid contract already included an 18% gratuity fee). We began eating immediately, only to find all the food (fish and beef main courses) at room temperature. Perhaps everything would have tasted better had it been heated, but classifying the meal as 'mediocre' would be overly kind. Making matters worse (if that's possible), we have been promised a 'final' contract as three of the planned attendees could not attend, and the caterer agreed to 'adjust', only to never hear back from them almost 2 weeks later. Inflexible policy + less than thrilling meals = at least in my book, an experience worth avoiding at all costs. Caveat emptor.

They have the most delicious tacos I've ever had in the West Coast (and I've lived in Los Angeles!) Service is so friendly! The food truck is located in a parking lot and the best part is eating in the car. Yes, I do order 6 tacos and finish it all. My boyfriend's go-to order is the steak, shrimp, & fajita veggies burrito. 11/10!

I've been visiting El Roy's since they first opened in Petaluma. I'm sad they closed the restaurant…read morebut the food trucks are great, too! They can get really busy but orders come out quickly. There is no seating at the food trucks and many folks eat on the curb or take the food to eat in their car (which is what I usually do). I've recently become a big fan of the El Roy's taco combo. It comes with two tacos, rice, and beans. I love their rice and beans. The tacos come with a perfect serving of chicken. The chicken is just a little dry, but the salsa covers it up. Speaking of salsa, I really enjoy their red salsa! But they've become stingy with it if you ask for more. I wish that wasn't the case! I definitely recommend stopping by and trying some tacos

Every phone call, he offered many insights into wedding planning, beyond catering. Get a pen and paper ready when you call, because you're going to want to take notes. :) We went to the Windsor Farmers Market to sample the food a couple times, even though we knew we were going with them from the first bite. The food was absolutely amazing. We had so many guests mention how delicious it was all night. We went with tri tip with onions & peppers, chicken thighs, green salad, pesto pasta salad, mushrooms, and asparagus. I have never had more perfectly cooked asparagus! We also had appetizer sliders for cocktail hour and strawberry lemonade. They are very reasonably priced and Derek allows you to make menu & head count tweaks up until the Monday beforehand. We had lots of leftovers that Derek and his guys wrapped up for us. FYI, an asparagus, mushroom, & tri tip sandwich is pretty delicious.

Outstanding Catering Experience with Up In Smoke BBQ…read more Up In Smoke was recommended to me by my girlfriend who lives in the Sebastopol area, where she's tried their food multiple times. Although Rob, the owner, generously offered a tasting session before a few catering jobs in Novato, my schedule was too hectic. I took a leap of faith and booked them to cater my husband's 50th birthday--and I'm so glad I did! The food was absolutely off the hook. From the moment they pulled up their 20-foot BBQ rig in front of my house, it was an experience. They set up tables, provided linens, and had 3-4 people BBQing on-site, which really added to the party's vibe. My guests loved chatting with them as they came in. The honey butter and bread were so flavorful, and the chicken was incredibly juicy. Being Italian, I was initially skeptical about the pasta salad, but it exceeded expectations. And as someone who's never been a fan of baked beans, theirs completely converted me. All future beans will have to measure up! What really impressed me was how seamless the entire service was, from set-up to clean-up. They made the entire event feel effortless, and the pricing was very reasonable. I couldn't recommend them more--top-notch food and service. Thanks Rob and team!!!
