“We were so lucky to have Ronnie as our server from 24 Carrots Catering at my sister’s wedding in San Clemente. She was absolutely amazing! Ronnie was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional throughout the entire evening. She made sure every guest felt cared for, and she anticipated needs before anyone even had to ask. Her kindness and genuine smile made such a difference, and she truly elevated the celebration. We couldn’t have asked for better service — Ronnie helped make my sister’s wedding unforgettable.

“My wedding at The Turnip Rose Promenade in Costa Mesa was an absolute dream! From start to finish, everything was seamless. No stress, just pure love, family, and an effortless, all-inclusive experience.

First and foremost, Barbi R. was a godsend. From day one, she was accommodating, gracious, and truly dedicated to making our big day as perfect as possible. She went out of her way at every turn to ensure my husband and I were completely satisfied. A true testament to her dedication: on the day of our wedding, we lost the adapter for our lighted sign. I had accepted that it would stay unlit, but Barbi didn’t! Without hesitation and without even being asked, she drove to the nearest hardware store and bought a replacement. Who does that?! She is genuinely one of the most caring and detail-oriented people I’ve ever met, and I am beyond grateful for her.

Another shout-out to Aubrey, the day-of coordinator provided by Turnip Rose. She was tiny but mighty! Even with my (very) energetic family, she kept everything running smoothly and made sure every detail was in place. We did the Platinum wedding package and we felt the benefits matched the value.

Now, let’s talk about the food, because it was a showstopper! Every single bite, from the appetizers to the final course, was high-class, high-quality, and exceptional. My family is incredibly picky, yet we received endless compliments for months about how amazing the food was! We chose the Classic Chicken Wellington & Petite Filet Mignon duet, and it was beyond perfect. The appetizers were just as impressive. The way everything was presented, white-gloved service silver dome and all, added an extra touch of elegance. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind having a second wedding (same husband!) just to relive that dining experience!

The venue itself is stunning! Romantic, private, and perfectly designed to flow from ceremony to reception without a hitch. The bride and groom suites were comfortable and well-appointed. Bonus, the wedding party was greeted with chilled wine. The outdoor space for the ceremony was beautiful, and the cocktail hour area had the perfect ambiance. Plus, there’s even a vineyard across the way for breathtaking photos. During our wedding we also experienced an amazing Golden hour glow that was extremely beautiful to witness. I appreciated that they offered so many all inclusive amenities. Everything on the table spread, excluding the flowers, were included! Plus a variety of options to personalize the space to your liking.

At the end of the night, Barbi and Aubrey were there with big hugs and parting gifts, a gesture that made us feel even more special. The night was pure magic and a perfect experience.

I guarantee you won’t regret choosing The Turnip Rose Promenade for your wedding. And the best part? They have a public café, so you can return anytime and relive the magic through their exquisite food. We’re making it tradition to go for lunch every year. Absolute game-changer.

Thank you to Barbi, Aubrey, and the entire Turnip Rose team for making our wedding day unforgettable! If you ever start offering that menu for small gatherings, just know my wallet is open and ready! See you guys for lunch!“

“My friends and I have been going to The Cheese Shop after a Sunday class for years.

Jennykate, Skylar, and Sophie are AMAZING. The entire is staff is incredible. They are always inviting, accommodating, and so friendly.
The shop is super cute and offer sandwiches, deli cheeses, and charcuterie boards to Name a few. My personal favorite is the Granny Smith Sandwich.

Without a doubt The Cheese
Shop is a favorite.“

“I don’t live here anymore, but passed by while I was in the area. 17th Street Deli is an absolute delight and I’m so happy I stumbled upon it! I really was just expecting a sandwich, but you really won’t know until you go..it's a must-visit. Top-notch service, homemade tuna salad, and they’re quick! My wife had the pastrami and said it was one of the best she’s ever had. I guess that one is their special! Don't miss out on this hidden gem!“

“Ordered a grazing box for Christmas and it was perfect!! Everyone loved it. It looked beautiful and tasted good. It came with 4 different kinds of fresh cheeses, plenty of crackers and a delicious hummus, veggies and fresh fruits.Picking it up was interesting they work out of a community huge kitchen so it's a bunch of shops, you call them when you arrive and they bring it to your car. Service was quick, ordering online was easy, everything was yummy and beautifully arranged and I'll definitely order again“
