50 Best Caterers near Santa Monica

“Vucacious did an incredible and impeccable job planning and catering to my son's bar mitzvah last year. I highly recommend their services and would work with them again. I had nothing to worry about at the party and was able to truly enjoy it.“

“This compact space is everything.
Run by passionate thoughtful sincere hoomans.
A well curated shop where one can pick up charcuterie board fixings, wine, sandwiches and a small assortment of goods before you head out to a gathering with you & yours.
I picked up the French Girl from the secret lunch menu and a box of Lady Crackers.
The sando was easily the top 2 french ham & cheese style baguettes that I have had outside of Paris. The spread gives it a nice sweet hint that is unconventional but very welcomed.
There is also an Inciardi Print vending machine. If you acquire the Lady Crackers print then you get a free box of Lady Crackers.“

“Avocado ice cream is ducking amazing! And all the ice cream is amazing!“

“I recommend the Bbq chicken, Rack of Ribs and Brisket overall everything I ordered was delicious.“

“Despite my pessimistic optimism that the future of the restaurant industry is a sinking ship, it is still floating. This place ATM has a 3.7 out of 5..? Free cold lemon water, high airy ceilings, outdoor seating, phenomenal music, and a women behind the counter recommending a delicious breakfast burrito… Definitely worth a second visit!! MRKT/Coastline Cafe - whatever name you want: thank you!“

“Found this restaurant in March and just returned for Mother’s Day dinner xoxoxo Great quality food and drinks, very pleasant staff!!! Authentic Japanese food items plus a touch of personality of its own makes their menu awesome and unique. We will come back for many many more.“

“Such an amazing staff and the owner is amazing himself. I moved from virginia to California and I absolutely would eat this over anything over there.“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Definitely Coming Back, Thank You For The Great Food, Hospitality, and Serving Chef Ismael💥“

“Bite Catering absolutely crushed it at our company’s casino-themed party. From start to finish, the food felt thoughtful, elevated, and perfectly matched to the energy of the night. Working with their CEO, Elizabeth was a delight as she worked hard to help me create the perfect menu for the event.

The passed appetizers were instant crowd-pleasers—the chicken cigars were dangerously good, the seared ahi tuna was fresh and beautifully presented, and the wagyu bites were a total showstopper. People were literally tracking down servers for seconds (and thirds).

The stations took things to another level. The pasta station was a hit with everyone, the Vegas carvery felt indulgent and on-theme in the best way, and the dim sum station added a fun, unexpected twist that guests kept talking about. It struck that perfect balance between comfort, flair, and “wow” factor—exactly what you want at a casino party.

If I had to offer one small note for creative rework, it would be the tacos and tamales station—and that’s probably my Los Angeles roots talking. They were solid, but in a city where tacos and tamales are basically a competitive sport, that section just didn’t quite hit the same high bar as the rest of the menu.

That said, overall Bite Catering delivered an exceptional experience: great food, great service, great flow, and a menu that felt curated rather than generic. Our guests are still talking about it, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again for a big, high-energy event. 🎲✨“

“Incredible food and service. Our waiters name was Christian; he was personable, kind, and hospitable. The food was mouthwatering and had such unique flavors. HUGE portions and definitely comfort food as they state. Will definitely be returning to check out the new menu each month.“

“Very Friendly and comfortable with good food.“

“Let me start off by saying that it is hard finding authentic soul food outside of the south. With that being said, my meal was hot and flavorful. I had the tri tip with Mac and cheese, greens, cornbread and a cucumber/onion salad with a side of Suela’s signature Hennessy sauce. Everything was delectable, well seasoned and I would definitely order again. The Mac and cheese is definitely grandma approved! I didn’t get any dessert but maybe next time I’ll try a pie or the cobbler. Suela’s soul food does not miss so give it a try!!“

“They have the best food ever I could eat this every day the nicest staff clean never had a bad meal here“

“Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere!!!“

“I had the pleasure of working with Katrina Chavez to book two food trucks for our all-store party, and I couldn't be more impressed with her service. She was incredibly patient, informative, and responsive throughout the entire process. Katrina answered all of my questions thoroughly and promptly, making what initially seemed complicated feel smooth and manageable.

She was especially helpful when it came to navigating my company’s legal requirements, including the COI, handling everything with professionalism and grace. Although our event hasn’t taken place yet, I feel confident that it will run seamlessly thanks to Katrina’s exceptional support and attention to detail. I truly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend working with her!“

“The food is so good! And they have curbside pickup on Fridays!“

“This predominantly vegan restaurant serves a good variety of delicious, fresh and healthy fare. I recommend the lentil loaf, colossal kale salad, flautas, and the orange cauliflower lo mein among others, and I hear the breakfast items (served all day) are excellent. Arlene is a fantastic server. In addition to the mostly vegan items, the eclectic menu also recently added some vegetarian but non-vegan entrees and even fish. This has drawn some unfair criticism. Please keep in mind that times are very difficult now for restaurants, and at least doubly so for vegetarian and vegan restaurants. If the inclusion of a few non-vegan items helps keep this gem of an eatery with a predominantly vegan/vegetarian menu afloat, then all the better for all of us.“

“OK, it’s cookies, not pastries… but oh, my, oh, my!! Delicious, imaginative cookies. We went in for 2, came out with a dozen (+ 1 for a baker’s dozen‼️).“

“Excellent service, great food, special price !!“

“Unassuming restaurant, but once you enter your welcomed with nice music and great customer service. I ordered the shrimp fried rice. It was a bit of a mushy texture, like if you cook rice a tad too long. Flavor was pretty good, Hoisin sauce was definitely needed. Overall nice place. If in area and need a quick bite. Stop here to try some dishes or the 15 dollar lunch special.“

“Bought the 2 meat combo....brisket and BBQ chicken with a side of mashed potatoes and a side of BBQ beans..and a half rack of baby back ribs side salad and corn bread...food was on point...loved the chicken and ribs over the brisket..mashed potatoes were tasty no gravy available but not necessarily a bad thing...the beans have hint of spiciness that slightly kicks in...dipped a piece of the buttery corn bread into the beans and oh man that hint the spot..paid $63-$67 bucks..it was a lot of food..good deal easily would feed 3 people..food over all was good ...parking in the back...nice clean location...service was super good I initially tipped at the register dropping a few bucks into a plastic container but I left a second tip at the table cause the young man working there was super attentive and genuinely a good person even offered the availability of the restroom and brought out a box as he observed that we had three ribs left over...honesty food was crazy good ...im a big fan of Harris Ranch off the 5 freeway up in the central valley ..but im from los angeles and out at the beach in the el segundo area several times a week...definitely will stop by again“

“Awesome experience. Food is just like u would want it to be. Great hospitality. The owner and staff are wonderful. Please check it out.“

“A friend recommended Meals by Genet and the experience was even better than they said! The food was absolutely incredible - the kind of meal you can’t explain to someone, they just have to try it for themselves. Chef Genet said hello to almost every table there. And our servers were outstanding!“

“I am from Philadelphia,Pa. I come from an area with very good Italian food and I worked for an Italian Market in Warminster. The Bruschetta was meticulous and delicious, my wife had the Picatta and I had a Calzone. Pasta was perfectly to the tooth. The chicken tender and flavorful. My Calzone (I make my own and have eaten them all over) was exceptional and the sauce was fresh and lovely spotlight on the tomato. On my list for returning and highly recommended if you like Nonna-style Italian food!!!!“

“Delicious food, I enjoyed myself there and the spaghetti was great just like expected 🧡“

“Delicious food and great service at a reasonable price! I have used Nana’s Kitchen so many times! And friends who have attended our parties, use them, for their parties, too.“

“I’m visiting a new area and I took a chance and ordered from DoorDash. I ordered a half a rack of ribs and even though they came very odd looking there was an extremely healthy portion. (There were not a lot of rib bones, but a lot of the bottom portion of the spare ribs, but I did not mind because it was a generous serving) The barbecue sauce was outstanding and all of the side dishes were delicious. They were running a two for one on some of the sides so I got a ton of food.“

“I Experienced their amazing food by “ Carry Out”. Difficult to believe one is able to pick up such delicious gourmet cuisine, by Top Chefs. Cannot wait to experience the full ambiance !!!“

“A friend and I had lunch fresco style- patio area great! Superb service and food! The Lamb Chops were amazing! The Falafels were great— friend said they were super crunchy!“

“Super Dumpling at Fox Hills Mall where Wokcano used to be is cool! The hot and sour soup was flavorful, the California roll fresh, and the complimentary spicy chicken dumpling was a great touch.

Edson the bartender took great care of me. Even though I didn’t have a drink. He provided superb customer service—attentive and welcoming, he made the experience even better.

I’ll definitely be back! By the way, I’m Christine the Realtor with Pacific Playa Realty—need a new home or food spot recommendation? I’m your go-to!

“Good food - great service“

“Asenrica las semitas vengan“

“Ribs were well seasoned and the mild and spicy sauces were loaded with delicious heat. The grilled veggies were my personal favorite and the beans were off the hook. A great meal towards the 4th of July.“

“Stopped in for a quick coffee and croissant. Friendly staff. The coffee was hot and flavorful. The croissant was very flaky and fresh and flavorful. I should has asked for some jam. It pulled apart and was very good. On the way out, I picked up a sourdough baguette and a wonderful chocolate twist. The baguette was good but not really a true 'sour' loaf. The chocolate twist on the other hand was amazing. Very thick, dark chocolate on a fresh pastry bread. Delicious! This is a small chain with 3 shops around LA. I went to the Wilshire one. Definitely worth another visit to try some of the other great looking pastries. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating at this location. I never felt rushed sitting here with my coffee.“

“A cozy Filipino comfort food restaurant in a small business plaza. This place has a modern-earthy interior design with smooth chill music playyng in the background and descent amount of seating for those dining in.

The staff is friendly and fast with their services.

I ordered the combo 2 with Beef Kalderetta and Dinuguan, which was pretty good, I was not disappointed.“

“YUM and yes I'm shouting that. Beautiful presentations. Whole food by cool people.“

“I hired them for my daughters Carnival themed Bat Mitzvah. I was happy that I did. From the customer service and planning, to the reasonable costs, the variety, the food and the staff were exceptional. The game booths were great as well. My guests are still talking about it. You wont be disappointed!!“
