“I don’t usually treat myself to bougie experiences like private chefs, but this one was so worth it. Chef Matty and his team were absolute pros — from planning to plating, everything was seamless. They were referred to us by the concierge of our Palm Springs rental, and from the start, Matty was incredibly responsive and helpful in curating our Mexican-themed menu.

There were six of us, and the food was not only delicious but super generous — we even had leftovers for breakfast and lunch! Such a treat to be served and taken care of while relaxing and enjoying time away as a group. Highly recommend Crafted Kravings for anyone looking to elevate their stay with an unforgettable dining experience.“

“LOVED using Bryan and his team for both my 11/5 wedding welcome party and 11/6 wedding at Legacy Villas! I highly suggest anyone in the desert cities looking for event catering to use Bryan.First, he is a great business man. He helped us navigate multiple wedding dates (COVID impact), great communication, clear and simple contracts to understand, and is a man of his word. His standard of quality is very high when it comes to delivering which I greatly appreciate. He also managed the event rentals / set up which was a huge help. Attention to detail is great and not a single thing was forgotten or overlooked.Second, the food is AMAZING. I can't say that enough. The first night we had a Mexican buffet and the guests could not stop raving about the churros. The second night for our wedding we did prime tri tip with burgundy reduction, Napa stuffed chicken, Coachella greens salad, mashed potatoes, frilled fall vegetables, and dessert display. We had numerous guests say this was the best wedding food they'd ever had and people who don't normally eat dessert went WILD at the dessert bar. I was blown away when I took my first bites at how great everything was. I was sad when it was over! Was a spectacular meal and the ingredients (meats, vegetables, etc) are very high quality.Third, the staff is exceptional. We had the same staff for both our welcome party and the wedding night which was really fun as our guests got to know them. They are 5 star and went above and beyond to tend to our every need. I've been to fine dining restaurants and his team was on par with that when it came to taking care of the bride/groom in particular, as well as our guests. Great bartending, smooth service, and strong attention to detail.Fourth, his presentation of food is beautiful. They use towers, tropical greens/flowers, artful fruit arrangements, bread sculptures, lovely serving buffets, etc to really elevate the experience. This is what originally caught my eye and made me contact Bryan - I don't think there is a single caterer in the area with presentation close to this. The guests loved this and we received many comments on the display after our wedding. Very high end and gorgeous addition to your event.You can hire Bryan and trust his team with your event 100% - it will be perfect.“

“Had this food at a graduation party today and it was terrific. Baked beans, Mac & cheese, bbq- great Love to visit them again“

“It's a beautiful place, and our server, Selena is fabulous - very attentive and made us feel very welcome, with just the right mix of professionalism, efficiency and humor. The food was just OK - nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. I was with 5 friends, and we had a fun time.“

“Is Bill Jones and David Erickson still the .I worked at Carousel Catering from 1976- 1989as head chef.“

“The food was excellent! I rarely can find squash blossoms and when I saw them on the menu I knew I had to order. These are often seasonal and very hard to find. They were incredible. Piping hot, crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. They are served with Marinara. I prefer honey drizzle or agave so I added my own. My mouth was singing their praises. I’m looking forward to trying so many tasty bites I saw on the menu. Two thumbs up for me.“
