We paid Unique Luxury Catering for an event we planned. Due to Covid concerns we cancelled the event. He never returned our money We sued and won a judgment through the Maricopa County Small Claims Court. We have since engaged two firms in an attempt to recover our money. He still refuses to pay. The owner of this firm is unscrupulous, dishonest and a liar. Stay as far away from him as possible..

Steve,After several days of thought and talking to those who have catered parties and were at my party and another catering company, I decided to just give you the facts. This is what I would want to know if I had a catering company, as, it is going to adversely affect your company's future, should it not be rectified with your future clients.1) No one contacted me when you were hospitalized and could not personally attend to our catering needs.2) I called 2 days prior to the party to find out time food would be delivered and who would deliver.(security officers need names)3) You answered my call from your hospital bed. Informed me you were in the hospital for the last month and "Jose" would be making and delivering the food and not to worry. You also told me to call Carolyn. I called Carolyn, who answered after several calls. She couldn't give me Jose's last name for security and told me Jose would be cooking at my home.4) I prepare for a chef to cook in my home. (I was confused as this was not what I contracted for)5) Jose's young son and a woman delivered one small tin 9"X11" of beef skewers, one 9"X11" tin of chicken skewers, one tin of rice 9X11, one tin 9"X11" of cooked vegetables, 1 large plastic bowl of salad with dressing, 1 round tin plate of deviled eggs(approx 30), 1 round tin of dried apricots with a almond and a dab of cheese(approx 30), pastry wrapped smokies ( approx 30). They also set up the buffet with wire racking, water and burning cans.6) My 45 guests arrive(catering contract was for 50, for $5100.00 paid in advance on Zelle and a personal check). There is immediately not enough appetizers. Followed by running totally out of food and people complaining to my servers(hired separately from Unique Luxury Catering) that there is not enough food. Bill and I had a little salad and a chicken skewer.Needless to say, Bill and I were mortified, embarrassed and we still are..... I would like to know how this will be rectified?I wrote this email to Steve and have yet to receive a response. If you contract with this company, I would get and exact count or amount of food that will be delivered.Joan and Bill Messenger45 guests3 servers

Steve was able to ask me via email, the day after the party, how the party went. I waited a few days to calm down. I sympathize with his situation, however, I should have been contacted when Steve was unable to cater himself. If you contract with this company, I would get a count of how many or how much of each item will be brought and I would pay half in advance, half upon delivery.

Chef Steve and his crew created an amazing dinner for my mom and dad's 50th wedding anniverary celebration. The food was fabulous with so many flavors. They were fun and highly professional. Will absolutely use them again.
Buzz Buchanan
High level and wonderful catering service. Creative and delicious menu. Steve and staff had great communication. Made it very easy to plan my husbands birthday dinner. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that the tenderloin was just slightly cold. However, tender and very delicious! We all enjoyed very much. Steve does not disappoint. Would definitely use his services along with his chef Jose again. You will not be unhappy. Lovely evening. Professional service.
Jack McCarthy
Chef Steve cooked a delicious four course meal that was equally loved by my 18 friends and I. From the taste to the presentation of the food, he hit five stars across the board. Along with his great skills in the kitchen he came with an amicable personality which boosted our party’s morale as well. I would 100% refer Chef Steve for any and every catered event that you have!
Michael Crow
Chef Steve and his meals are awesome. Steve came to our house for two nights and set up, prepared, cooked, served, entertained and cleaned up. All we had to do was relax and enjoy (there were 16 of us). The meals were delicious and the presentation and service were first class. I would highly recommend Unique Luxury Catering for your catering needs and I look forward to my next trip to Scottsdale with Chef Steve.
Nathan Krout
Steve crushed it recently with his Taco Bar for our lunch. Our bachelor party was hanging poolside while Steve and team prepared a great spread of steak/chicken/shrimp tacos. The food and service was amazing and the whole experience was really easy to coordinate leading up to the day. Thanks, Steve!
Rykki Tepe
Chef Steve did an outstanding job preparing a girls private dinner for 10! The meal was ready when we arrived at our Airbnb and was delicious. He communicated great, was prompt on time and cleaned up making our evening very relaxing. Would definitely do a night like this again!
Miranda Reyes
Steve & his team went absolutely above and beyond for our client's birthday weekend. Every piece of food was absolutely delicious and the guests were raving about it the whole weekend. We loved their professionalism, cleanliness, as well as just being a joy to work with. 200% recommend them and you have to book with them immediately!!
Steve and Carolyn were above and beyond! Steve took so much pride into h is food and made sure everything was to my standards and liking. He was energetic and personable with my guest... he cooked for us 14 guest for two days and both days were outstanding. HIs presentation, personality and food choices were right on point!! He is an amazing chef and he explained everything in detail about his food.... I highly recommend Chef Steve to anyone looking for anything from a small venue to a large venue.. he definetly lived up to our expectations. We bonded the day I spoke to him on the phone... we will for sure use him again when we are in the Scottsdale area and most likely fly him out to other venues!! Thanks Chef Steve for making my 50th the most memorable!!

Steve the THE GUY for my bachelorette party in AZ! He had great communication in the time leading up to the event and was a pleasure to work with! We worked on a menu that work work best for myself and the 11 other girls with me.The day-of, he came on time with his staff and had BEAUTIFUL presentation of the food. And biting into each course - omg!! Chef kiss :-*I'd refer Steve to anyone and will definitely love the opportunity to work with him again!
Travis James
Chef Steve and staff were great. They took care of our 10 person group for a 4-night Scottsdale golf trip and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. I think you will be happy if you decide to use his services.
Trevor Steadman
Steve and his wife catered an amazing dinner for my and my team while on a retreat in Arizona. He was able to prepare and serve a 10 person plated dinner with less than 72 hours notice and the cost was beyond fair for the food and service. Whenever we are in Arizona again, we will be using his business again.Fantastic job!
Guy Kobey
Chef Steve traveled all the way to Prescott to help me surprise my wife for our 23rd anniversary. He was perfect and his food was out of this world! I highly recommend his Sea Bass. Tell Chef you want the Sea Bass he made for Guy and Dixie Kobey. He won't disappoint!
