11 Best Caterers in San Rafael

“I’ve been working with Visconte Catering for more than 20 years, and they have never disappointed. I know everything will be perfect, I never have to worry about a thing, whether it’s a dinner for 30 people or a cocktail event for 70.

Andrea is such a pro from the pre-event planning all the way through to the end. She’s responsive, detail-oriented, and always makes the whole process feel easy and smooth, even when there are last-minute adjustments. Richard and the team in the kitchen consistently deliver delicious food with a touch of French flair, beautifully presented and always a hit with my guests.

The service is polished and discreet, and everything runs seamlessly. Working with them truly gives me peace of mind every time I host, especially in Consul's Residence where everything has to look as if nothing ever happened.

I highly recommend them.“

“Literally unbeatable when it comes to flavor!!! This BBQ is legit mouthwatering, and Big Jim is the best! A must try if you live in the Bay!“

“TL;DR - I hired Ann's team for my wedding at the Presidio and it was the best decisionAnn Walker in a nutshell is the sweetest and has been so incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. We reached out because she was an approved vendor for Presidio before Presidio handed the management to Wedgewood Weddings. After having a great conversation over the phone, where she described how long she'd been working in the industry and of course, her menu and pricing. I was looking for a catering service that would allow me to bring my own alcohol but not charge me a corkage. I was also looking to stay within a per person maximum. She was willing to meet all of my requirements!We were able to discuss the menu 3x or more! We met once for the tasting and got to meet Ann and the chef, who has experience cooking many cuisines and is quite worldly.On the wedding day, her staff was extremely friendly. My husband and I were doted on by Kathleen, who just felt like an aunt who wanted to take care of us. She filled my glass with champagne, my her's cocktail, and made sure I ate!Now, the most important part. My friends and family LOVED the food!!! They were raving about it from the start. The appetizers were delicious, we had lamb meatballs, veggie spring rolls, and mushroom empanada. For dinner, we had a family-style meal of fish curry, veggie curry, grilled tri-tip, and roasted vegetables. It made me so happy that my friends loved the food we were able to serve!“

“Sage did the food and bar for our wedding at Outdoor Art Club and everything was absolutely delicious, especially the incredible salmon! We knew we wanted to work with Sage from the start, so I didn’t realize until later that most places let you do a tasting before booking. Sage doesn’t, and we actually couldn’t do our tasting until just a few months before our date. Based on the creativity of their menu and so many great reviews I didn’t worry though - and am happy to add another to the list of people saying the same thing! The food was excellent, fresh, and creative, and many people have raved to me about the salmon.

The experience working with them was also very good - during cocktail hour they made sure my husband and I got appetizers, even bringing us a plate with a couple of each, which was so appreciated. They also did an excellent job with the bar, even figuring out changes on the fly - my dad wanted one of our signature drinks that was grapefruit based, without the grapefruit. They made a lemon version for him in the moment, and then remembered just what to make him each time he came back!

We did need to order all the tableware rentals and alcohol ourselves, however Meredith was an excellent partner through the planning process, and guided us really well on what we needed, and how much of everything to get. We picked out the styles we wanted with the rental company and then she worked with our planner and the rental company to handle the order details and quantities of everything, something I wouldn’t have known where to start with. They also provided all the fresh juices and garnishes for the bar. Our venue also had tricky drop off and pick up requirements, and she executed all of that seamlessly.

Thank you to Sage for a wonderful wedding dinner!“

“Veegee's in San Rafael has been a great culinary experience with their organic artisanal menu. The "fried chicken" crafted from oyster mushrooms was a standout, mimicking the savory satisfaction of traditional chicken, even my grandfather loved it. The vegan pasta Alfredo showcases their skill in creating flavorful plant-based dishes as well. I love that the menu continually evolves, Veegee's impresses as a top-tier vegan spot, rivaling even the best in LA.“

“Fantastic, fresh, creative dishes! Amazing & friendly service. I’ve never been disappointed with anything I’ve gotten from Bella Luxe!“

“I went here with my family today and we loved this spot. We ordered a combo meal with the chicken sandwich, fries, and a drink. For $7 you get an amazing sandwich with a delicious crispy chicken patty. Also the food portion sizes are so worth it for the price. My most favorite part of this meal was the curly fries. They were done nicely and tasted great. The staff was so kind and helpful. Would go back here for sure!!“

“You make my birthday girl so happy, especially the Unicorn. Make her birthday for this year sweet...it really makes her enjoy this lonely birthday becomes a joyful one“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“

“When searching for a caterer for my wedding I remembered that Delores did catering and that I had her amazing food before and knew that I couldn't make a better choice then to have her and her team do the catering. Dee was there from step one and very easy to work with. Her goal is to make sure that you get exactly what you want. She calmly put up with my craziness and changes. We had an amazing pre wedding tasting and were in contact the months leading up to the wedding. I had my wedding in a home so Dee also took care of all of the rentals and staff for serving and bar tending. The food was absolutely perfect! Dee had a lemonade and ice tea station for when my guests arrived. For appetizers we had crab cakes, bruschetta, cheese and charcuterie. For dinner we had flank steak (cooked to absolute perfection), herb roasted chicken, spinach salad, cold pesto pasta salad with tomatoes, mixed grilled vegetable, bread and butter. I wouldn't change a single thing about any of the dishes. Fresh, perfect seasoning, cooked perfectly, all around perfect. All of her staff were amazing, professional, and quick to make sure everyone was as happy as possible. I would recommend Dee to anyone looking for a great caterer with great staff, and great food. She can handle groups of any size. She is prompt, knowledgeable, and helpful.“
