“Kannappa Catering offers exceptional value. The quality of the food and service far exceeds their reasonable pricing. For our nonprofit's fundraiser, they provided a delicious and abundant spread that impressed all our donors. They were also wonderful to work with, understanding our constraints and offering helpful solutions. Their contribution helped make our event profitable and memorable. We are deeply grateful.“

“We recently ordered catered treats for my daughter’s bridal shower, including tea sandwiches, scones, coconut cakes, and fruit tarts, and everything was absolutely wonderful. The tea sandwiches were fresh, beautifully prepared, and offered a lovely variety of flavors. The scones were perfectly sized, tender, and incredibly delicious. The coconut cakes truly stood out—moist, rich, and topped with the most delightful frosting. The fruit tarts were ideal bite-sized treats, with a perfect balance of fresh fruit and creamy filling. The presentation was just as impressive as the taste, and everything exceeded our expectations. We would gladly order again for any special occasion.“

“As a couple with high expectations when it comes to food, catering was one of the most important parts of our wedding. We did three tastings with 24 Carrots because we wanted everything to be perfect, and admittedly, we left some of those tastings feeling a little uncertain. However, on the wedding day, they completely exceeded our expectations!!! Every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and served perfectly. We received so many compliments from our guests about the food, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the entire celebration. We're so glad we trusted the process—24 Carrots truly delivered when it mattered most.“

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.“

“😀The Wanted Taco did an amazing job at my husband's birthday party. Everyone loved the food! Nate and Joe were wonderful to work with. They were very personable and professional at the same time. I will definitely use them again.“

“Just had my wedding here and had simply amazing time! Barbi, Emily and the entire staff made it truly a seamless experience that allowed us and our guest to enjoy our wedding! They are definitely an elite catering service as they handle every little detail (and some unexpected ones) with top-notch care and attention! Definitely loved this venue as a convenient outdoor space in the Costa Mesa area, not too far from South Coast and Westminster/Fountain Valley which made things really easy for our friends and family to navigate. There's also a beautiful vineyard nearby for photos

Notes:
-Wedding was 230 people outdoors on the grass/garden area
-Did not have a ceremony there, though the gazebo is great for photos
-Allows for outside catering, we used the venue's appetizers which were great (the grilled cheese shooters were a huge hit!)

Overall, if you are looking to do something beyond a standard indoor restaurant, this garden is great as a blank canvas space to have your wedding with truly elite service and execution :D“

“We’re frequent patrons of Postino Wine Cafe on South Broadway, San Antonio, TX. Love the ambiance, food, wine & service. Last night we experienced them at their finest! Ray & Mark went above and beyond in making our daughter-in-laws 50th birthday celebration special. The 50th balloons, cake accessories, & gift card were unexpected & appreciated. This is a place to go for a special celebration! Chef Joseph prepared a variety of delicious boards & more. They truly give top notch attention to detail & service. Highly recommend!“

“Country Garden Caterers were a great addition to our wedding day! The planning process for our event was smooth thanks to Diana Perkins! She was a rockstar in helping us plan our menu, was very flexible and understanding, and always answered our questions through phone or email with a quick turn around. We ordered the BBQ brisket, Chicken Marsala, and Poached Salmon as our main entrees and they were all amazing! I would highly recommend all three options. Our guests still comment how wonderful the food was.“

“We’re employees in the cards department who work at the hospital and stop by this coffee shop almost every day. Just wanted to share how great your barista Stephanie (Stephy) is. She’s consistently engaging and welcoming, and she has a natural way of making both customers and coworkers feel comfortable. She really sets a positive tone here, and you can tell she genuinely cares. The coffee is great, and she’s a big reason this place feels like such a bright spot in the day.“

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.“

“Nomada is best catering in south OC. Their food is delicious, service is excellent, and their set up/ presentation is chic. My guests all complimented how great the food was at our party. And the whole nomada team is so kind and helpful. I cannot wait to book them again!“

“Reshmi and her crew did a catering in our backyard party recently. It was a unique experience to have a live Dosa station for our friends and families. Everyone enjoyed the food and it was fresh and tasty. There was plenty of varieties in Dosa to pick from, which was great. Specifically the S'more Dosa was a hit with the kids as well as adults.“

“We had Kiros Catering for our Women in Luxury Design Panel and Reception, and they were absolutely fantastic! The food was fabulous and received rave reviews from all our guests. The team took exceptional care of us, always one step ahead of our needs. They introduced themselves before the event, ensuring we knew all the ways they could assist us. Their attention to detail and impeccable service made the event seamless and enjoyable. We greatly appreciated their professionalism and dedication. Highly recommend Kiros Catering for any event!“

“We used Richard Jones BBQ Pit Catering for our son's 2nd birthday party, and it was a huge hit! The pork spare ribs were absolutely amazing—tender, flavorful, and truly fall-off-the-bone. The brisket disappeared so fast we could have easily ordered another serving! The smoked chicken, mac & cheese, and baked beans were all fantastic and enjoyed by everyone. In fact, I noticed the plates looked licked clean, even the kiddos plates! The food was delicious, the delivery was seamless, and the service was excellent. We couldn't have been happier and highly recommend Richard Jones BBQ Pit Catering for any event!“

“I had the pleasure of hiring Delanya's for a private event on July 12, 2025. They have the best Brisket in Orange County. I do not say this lightly as I have had some of the best BBQ in the country. I am a Master Pastry Chef and work for the Food Network, word of mouth is what keeps great small businesses thriving and although I almost never leave reviews this is definitely a must!“

“Excellent service and presentation from the servers to the owners acting as MC. Very organized. I'm impressed. I would recommend to do your event here.“

“Our whole family enjoys eating here, even our two young girls. We really love the smoked turkey and brisket, but all the meats are good. The service is excellent and each person really cares about the people they serve and the food they make. The place is clean, even the bathrooms are clean. We like to enjoy our meal on the small back patio.“

“I hired Chris and his team for my son's first birthday party and had such a great experience. Chris arrived on time and was super professional, and he and his partner set up quickly and got started right away. The food was amazing, and we received so many compliments from our guests. They were also very generous with the amount of food, which we really appreciated. Everything went so smoothly, and overall it was the best experience we could have hoped for. I will definitely be hiring them again!“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“If you’re looking for one of the best pho spots in Newport Beach, Bamboo Bistro is definitely worth a visit. The pho broth was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care—light enough to enjoy every spoonful, yet packed with depth and authentic taste. The fresh herbs, tender meat, and perfectly cooked noodles brought everything together beautifully.

The ambiance is just as impressive as the food. The restaurant has a modern, upscale feel with warm lighting and a cozy atmosphere that makes it perfect for a casual lunch, date night, or dinner with friends. Service was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better.

A great bowl of pho starts with a great broth, and Bamboo Bistro absolutely delivers. Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and a relaxing atmosphere make this one of my favorite Vietnamese spots in Newport Beach. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic pho and a memorable dining experience.“

“I've been consistently impressed with the quality of their offerings, including their salads, rolls, sandwiches, pastas, and burritos, but they offer much more. Each item I've tried has been exceptional.
For businesses seeking a truly outstanding daily breakfast and lunch solution, I highly recommend reaching out to them. They offer convenient on-site presentations to introduce their delicious cuisine to your employees, and the employees have the opportunity to purchase.“

“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“

“Tim and his team executed wedding day and it was an absolute dream!! Tim has been very communicative from the start ensuring everything on the contract was going to be fulfilled on wedding day.
The food was delicious and mouthwatering, the food came out hot and fresh - guests could not stop raving about the food. Even my vendors said the vendor meals were delicious! As a bride, of course it was difficult to eat all courses - it makes me wish I was a guest to my own wedding so I could eat everything LOL
During the food tasting I told him we wanted our walnut prawns with more sauce and he put lots of that delicious mayo sauce. The lobster garlic noodles was my favorite dish!
Tim also provided rentals for us - stage, dance floor, chairs. The stage, dance floor, and chairs made the entire ballroom look so dreamy, romantic, and whimsical. I even changed my mind last minute for the chair colors and he was super accommodating
Tim wholeheartedly deserves 5 stars! The caterer is the most important vendor for a wedding and Tim ensured he delivered nothing but the best for my guests. If you're looking for a banquet style meal for your wedding - 1 10000/10 recommend Tim. Thank you Top Catering for making my wedding an unforgettable night.“

“Awesome food really good scampi and salads“

“Unos tacos deliciosos y el que atiende muy buen servicio“

“The eggrolls here is one of the best eggrolls I had eaten. I had been a customer for over 20 years and each time I ordered I had not been disappointed. The eggrolls are crunchy and delicious to eat when they are hot.
The service most of the time is great. The owner is friendly. They mostly speak Vietnamese but the helper speaks Spanish.“

“In this place, food is prepared for very good airlines, by the way, well, no. Because it is my workplace but very good attention in English and Spanish. These photos are some of the many platiyos that are prepared for the airlines in this place“

“I can't express enough how awesome Chef Lou and the entire staff was!! The occasion was my wife's surprise birthday party. Chef Lou created a wonderful menu. The whole team arrived promptly and delivered an absolutely awesome experience.
The food was both delicious and had a beautiful presentation. All of the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Everyone at the party was so pleased with this team. Then at the end, they quietly cleaned up and left the house as if they were never there. I feel very fortunate to have found Saltwater Catering for this party.

I am already trying to figure out the next time we would be able to use them again!“

“Dirty birds are light fresh and wholesome tacos we get them from time to time from food winners and the last up to 3 times longer than most the other products that food when he gives us“

“Leckeres Eis 🍦 und absolut zu empfehlen! The ice cream is the best ever.“

“ordered my first meal for here and was amazed at the flavor and quality of the ingredients. I recommend trying one of their Power Bowls 🥣 👌“

“Food was great... Needs to be eating within a good time frame for best taste. It's easy and convenient so you don't have to worry about making lunch or dinner. You get to choose from a variety of plates to satisfy your taste buds and your waste line. Its delivered fresh and well packaged. Worth a try!!!“

“Great drinks , friendly staff, wonderful vibe and super cute layout.“

“Beautiful setting around the fountain in the civic center.“

“We had the pleasure of tinting the windows at their location. Such a pleasure working with Carol, amazing business owner and you can tell she cares about her craft as well as her clients. She even hooked us up with a grilled cheese, tuna melt, banana pudding and banana bread! It tasted amazing! Highly recommend if you're looking for a high quality catering company 🙌🏾“

“Came here after seeing this place on my social feed. Quiet little unassuming place with friendly staff and quick service. I got a pastrami sandwich and it was great. The sandwich came out in less than 5 minutes. I’ll have to come back to try some other menu items for sure“
