“great food and BBQ sauce 🙂“

“As a wedding planner (Forever Enchanted Events), I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the incredible service Personal Touch Dining provided at our last wedding. They sky-rocketed to the top of my preferred vendor list. Each of their staff members truly went above and beyond to ensure the success of the event, all while having great attitudes and working very quickly and efficiently. Starting from the beginning of booking, their communication was fantastic. Brittany, our first point of contact was very thorough and even checked in a week prior to the wedding to make sure we had a back up plan for rain when she saw the possibility in the weather forecast and provided recommendations for tents as well. Melissa, our Catering Manager, was phenomenal and notably friendly, organized, and calm while managing a very large team. I would whole-heartedly trust her and her team with any event. Everything ran smoothly, and she personally checked in with me several times to see if they could offer my own team any additional assistance if they had staff members available. I was truly amazed at the quality of service and the friendliness of EVERY member of their team (especially Evan, Matt, Izzy, Lauren, Melissa, and Brittany) and look forward to working together again soon!“

“They served amazing food I actually ordered pray trays from them when I did a surprised 70th birthday party in February 2020 before Covid hit us chef Andy and khara both came personally and delivered to us hope they still remembered me .. we had our party at the marina village room! Highly recommended food!“

“We used the Place for kosher catering for our wedding. They did an amazing job working with us and everything was perfect. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The entire staff is professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. This caterer truly cares and we highly recommend them to everyone and plan to use them again in the future!“

“Great place to have partys from“

“10/10 would recommend Feast for any catered event or special gathering. Feast catered our wedding and the food was phenomenal. So many of our guests complimented the food and shared with us how good it was. But beyond the excellent quality of food (our beef tenderloin was practically melt in your mouth which is magic for a party of 100), the service is beyond compare. From the start, the Feast team, and in particular Melissa, went out of their way to make our experience truly unique and special. Though four postponements, a possible elopement, celebrating our original wedding date, celebrating my mom’s birthday in quarantine, and finally our wedding day, Feast went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of and supported. Their attention to detail made for truly awe inspiring decor and food. I can’t wait for our next event to use Feast again!“

“This company is AMAZING!!! I called/emailed yesterday inquiring about availability for an event TODAY and they came through!!! They put together a super tasty lunch within our budget within 24 hours!! The fruit was soooo fresh and delicious, the sandwiches were perfect and they even took care of the little details (dessert, drinks, napkins, utensils, condiments). I will DEFINITELY be utilizing them again! Thank you so much!“

“I’m not sure if there is such thing as a Perfect burger, but to me on this evening looking for an alternative to in n out (which we get multiple times a week), completely blew me away…the juiciness, deliciousness, and pure joy from each bite will never be forgotten. Congrats Romin ?????? We will be back ???“

“Some of the best sandwiches in San Diego.“

“Metro checks all of the boxes.Cheryl does a fantastic job with menu ideation/creation. Her consultative approach takes a lot of the stress out of planning an event. Her years of expertise shine through her diverse assortment of culinary offerings. Service is first class. Don’t miss out on this phenomenal caterer.“

“We couldn't be more thrilled with the fantastic job done by Picnic People for our corporate party. From start to finish, their team displayed unmatched professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. The event was flawlessly organized, and every aspect exceeded our expectations. The variety of engaging activities, delicious food, and seamless coordination left our entire team thoroughly impressed. Thanks to Picnic People, our party was a resounding success, and I can't wait to work with them again. Highly recommended! - Wendy Stull“

“I hired Liz Taco Catering for a birthday party, and they exceeded all expectations! The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. The team was professional, punctual, and made sure everything was perfect. All of our guests loved the food and couldn’t stop talking about it. I highly recommend Liz Taco Catering for any celebration!“

“Awesome food, awesome service, super-friendly staff! I give them my highest recommendation!“

“There is a wait if you go inside the restaurant but it’s worth the wait! I ordered the Sampler plate the #1 it had a big portions of each item everything tasted delicious the cornbread was moist and the garlic bread was toasty. The fountain drinks they sell there taste really good 😌 I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes bqq 😋“

“Just the venue I was looking for to host a celebration of life. They were fine with accommodating our intimate group, and were very attentive to detail in setup, menu, and presentation. Most venues in the area were either geared toward very large parties (weddings) or did not have the privacy we desired. Everyone loved the setup, beautiful flowers, and raved about the food. It was a fitting tribute to our loved one. So glad we found them!“

“MIHO helped us with our wedding catering over three days. MIHO, Sam, Rachel, and Rosemary were amazing to work with. They were able customize the catering for three different events and were super helpful when our venue kitchen wasn't able to support the needs of the event. The entire team was so kind and helpful throughout the planning process, and the day-of execution and food was awesome. Our guests raved about the food all weekend and having MIHO there was definitely a highlight. We'd highly recommend them for any event!“

“We were told by a number of friends that doing tastings with candidate caterers for our wedding would be one of the most enjoyable parts of our wedding planning - and they weren’t wrong! But Culinary Concepts stood apart by a lot, and we are incredibly happy that we went with them. Katie was our point of contact and she did such an amazing job helping us understand the whole process from the tasting to glassware rentals and then the big day. This was our most expensive option out of the set, but we truly believe it was worth every penny. Guest after guest noted to us how highly they thought of the food. And the staff was efficient, friendly, and discreet. We felt the “station” format that CC offered helped set the tone of “comfortable and relaxed” that we were looking for while keeping everything organized and on schedule. We’re writing this review exactly one year after our wedding which, according to many of our vendors, was one of the last that they held in 2020. A big thank you to the team at Culinary Concepts for the incredible memories - we can’t recommend them highly enough.“

“What a fantastic day it was and so many thanks go to Lisa and the Team at Brothers Signature Catering & Events. The food was incredible, the setup was perfect and the space looked amazing. Everything from the simplest Fruit Display and the Breakfast Pastries to the Yummy Quiche and let’s not forget about the … Crispy Bacon. Yummy. I have used BSC&E in the past and have always been very pleased with the products, but this time the team outdid themselves. Lisa Gradillas was so pleasant to work with and throughout the entire process made suggestions on everything from the food and quantities down to the napkin color on the tables. She was a ray of sunshine and she was there to support the team that morning. She could sense the importance of the wedding and was there to make sure everything was just perfect. The staff she brought with her knew what they were doing from unloading to serving to tearing down and packing up. They were amazing and left everything in perfect condition when they left. Kudos to the entire team. What a wonderful experience the team provided us. I would use Brothers Signature Catering & Events again or refer them to others. They are just fantastic. Thank you so much for making my wedding a perfect event.“

“Michelle is an awesome Personal Chef! I've known her for 7 years and she's made homemade cupcakes for my daughters bday, a Greek themed tailgate party for an Aztecs game, lots of business party mixer food, multiple PHCC-San Diego plumbing contractor dinner meeting buffets, Kohler Manufacturing sponsored open houses, Personal dinners to-go, Breakfast Burritos for a FOX PLUMBING employee breakfast and she even makes ME breakfast every Tuesday morning with FRESH EGGS from her own chickens! If you don't give Michelle a call you'll NEVER know how talented of a chef she is!!! I forgot to mention the dairy free mac-n-cheese and cheese pizza is out of this world!!“

“Fabulous foods and goodies. Love this place.“

“I come here almost daily because I am obsessed with their match Tres leches with matcha boba and egg pudding. It's a combination that lives in my taste buds memory. like the marriage between a matcha frappe with flan. At the family table came boba and a snow cap that easily translates to tantalizing flavors jumping for joy! Then the Bahn mi is packed with the perfect ratio of meat, picked carrots, cucumber, and JALAPEÑOS!!! I love a jalapeño that delivers and these always hit the mark. The fact that the ingredients are fresh and natural are major brownie points.“

“great food and BBQ sauce 🙂“

“Jim is friendly and accommodating. Ordered food for my daughter’s birthday gathering and the food were super yummy. We ordered the brisket, pulled pork, ribs & macaroni salad.“

“We had the most awesome experience with Athena from Sweet Treats!!! We were having a neighborhood block party for my son’s 5th birthday and I wanted to add a little fun since all the kids in the neighborhood were also kicking off their spring break. The ice cream motorcycle sidecar was available and what a hit it was!! Athena drove into our cul de sac with the music playing, everyone was so excited as soon as they heard the music.... then they saw it was coming from a motorcycle ice cream sidecar!!! One of the coolest experiences and what a treat for the kiddos AND parents! Can’t wait to book again!“

“Food was good. However, the cashiers were busy cleaning up for the night vs taking care of customers. It wasn’t late, either. It was around 7:30 or 7:45 on a Sunday. The cleaners they use are very strong. Very pinesol or something like that. Glad I got food to go because I wouldn’t want to have smelled the cleaners during dinner. Dining room had zero vibe.“
