The freshness, the flavor the uniqueness, and the absolute healthiness of every bite was and is some thing I think about since 2018 lol! I don't know what it was but it was delicious! And this was definitely one of the main things that I think about still from that trip! I was so impressed with the amount of food and the fast preparation it just seems like there is a staff of 20 people. I was just blown away. I can't wait for my friend to use them at her wedding! The unique concoctions and the display and the colors everything was gorgeous! It was like watching art and then getting to eat it! :-)

PHINOM CUISINE's plated catering perfected our farm-to-table wedding this summer!…read more We had a delicious appetizer spread, along with gorgeous yet delectable passed hors d'ouvres. Phinom's servers took the time to craft a special plate for my best friend and her husband as they took pictures after the ceremony; everybody was so moved by this sentimental gesture because there were no special requests prior. The meal itself was TO DIE FOR. We knew we'd found a gem as our Moroccan friends raved non-stop about the authenticity of the flavorful Chicken Tajin! From the beginning, MAYA (their executive chef) was prompt and accommodating, consistently staying on point in every aspect. And even though I was overwhelmed with other Maid of Honor duties, I immediately felt comfortable with YOUSSEF (their event coordinator) taking the reins when it came to all things food- and service-related. From the rentals and the bartenders to the guests with food allergies, everything was handled with grace and ease. I could tell we were in very good hands. Having worked with many caterers throughout the country for a variety of events, I can honestly say PHINOM CUISINE provided the most heavenly delicious food at an exceptional value. I've noticed many caterers will try to tack on sneaky surcharges and bill you after an event, but Phinom is beyond fair and ethical. In fact, they went out of their way to meet our needs and took care of us every step of the way. I'll be recommending them to everybody! FIVE STARS for MAYA and YOUSSEF's mouth-watering food and A+ service!

Ajaya (the Cook) and Deborah (the Look) are each incredible in their own right and when booked together to help in creating an incredible event - it's perfection! Not only were they incredibly kind and easy and fun to work with, the food they created for our event was gorgeous, upscale, elegant and most of all DELICIOUS. And then you add in Deborah's expertise and skillset when it comes to making the entire event look amazing and elegant. This lady is a genius! She created the most incredible vibe and is so detailed. Every square inch of our space I was intentionally thought out and looked and felt incredible. Our guests were blown away. I absolutely recommend The Look and The Cook and will definitely be booking them for my next event. I can't imagine going with anyone else. With Ajaya's delicious food and stunning presentation, friendly and kind serving staff and Debra's absolutely amazing event planning and executing skills - they have got you and your event COVERED! Yelp will only let me give them 5 stars, so I will, but if I could I'd give them 10!

I haven't written a Yelp review in over 4 years and I felt the need to jump on here to do so to…read morerave about Lindsey's services. I honestly did not know what to expect when hiring a personal chef for a night. I found Lindsey (Lili Magnolia) via Yelp and chose her services because everything she displayed on her website felt honest. We needed a catered dinner in Topanga, CA for my friend's bachelorette weekend (15 ladies) and Lindsey was the perfect fit. PLANNING - Booked Lindsey about 2 months in advance - Quick to respond (usually within an hour) - Used Honeybook to book her services (e.g. sign contracts, make payments) so it felt safe and secure. - Customizable menu (we had a vegan guest and Lindsey had a bunch of suggestions) - In-tune with how much we wanted to spend per person (no more than $100) DAY OF - Showed up on time w/ her sous chef (our location was quite obscure in the Topanga Hills so we thought the drive was a bit daunting but she and her sous chef handled it like champs!) - She was extremely kind and gave us tips on how to roast vegetables! - Food was beyond delicious and for a party of 15, we did not run out - Flexible to serve the food buffet style or family style, up to us - Did not need instructions around the kitchen or the grill in the backyard (We had rented an Airbnb) MENU (highly recommend) Starters: - marinated roma tomatoes w/ grilled garlic bread - crab cakes w/ romesco sauce - seasonal crudites w/ dip Salads: - rustic whole leaf caesar salad w/ torn croutons & shaved parmesan - zucchini carpaccio w/ arugula salad, shaved parmesan & pine nuts Mains: - classic roast chicken w/ citrus & rosemary - grilled skirt steak w/ chimmichurri - marinated grilled tofu w/ sautéed wild mushrooms (vegan) Sides: - roasted baby carrots - roasted brussel sprouts - classic garlic mashed potatoes All in all, I would highly recommend her services. As weird as this sounds, they blended into the background and did not get in the way of our party for the night. However, they were super caring and gracious enough to bring our dishes to the table when we had inadvertently switched from having it buffet style to family style. On top of that, Lindsey and her sous chef worked quickly and efficiently to put out the food for us. They cleaned up the kitchen and left it nicer than they had found it. In addition, they also wrapped up leftovers and put them right into the fridge for us. (Yes, the leftovers the next day were still delicious) I would definitely book her again if I find myself in the LA area needing a chef.

She also accommodated our dietary restrictions and provided a spread of delicious foods that everyone in the house couldn't stop raving about.

She's a professional who makes the entire experience stress-free, despite there being a curve ball when we found out my grill didn't work! She improvised and had everything ready as scheduled.

Talk about family hospitality!  Lugo's food is uniquely fresh and delicious.  Unlike many mexican…read morestyle eateries we have available in our area, the Lugo family take a special pride in their cooking, so everything they make is consistently good.  Marteen, the proud father and head chef of the family, brings his many years of speciality training into the menu and introduces new twists to old-time favorites that will put a smile on your face from the very first bite.  One of my favorites is his mexican-style meatloaf. If you find this on the menu, don't hesitate to give it a try.  It's got all the comfort of grandma's, but with a nice south-of-the-border kick that pairs well with a icy cold cerveza. If you want to serve your guests with some delicious Mexican food that stands out above the rest, don't hesitate to give Lugo's a try.  Wonderful food brought to you by a wonderful family...the best!

I found Julie when researching personal chefs who would accommodate our many food restrictions. My…read morehusband is allergic to gluten and dairy. And for a period of time I was breastfeeding, I was gluten, dairy, and soy free. We needed to find someone who understood our limitations but could also cook delicious food. Boy, did we find the right person! I contacted several people, and Julie was the only one who took the time to write a personalized response (instead of the generic one I received from the others). She has extensive experience with food allergies and knew all about FODMAP. Several emails later, we had set up a time for an in-person meeting to go over everything. Julie took her time to explain everything to us. From food preferences, to what to expect each week, to payment, Julie was very thorough. She even walked through our kitchen to make sure she knew what items were missing and needed to bring. Every week she contacts us a few days before to ask us what we are craving. If we tell her to give suggestions, she happily obliges and her recommendations are always so enticing. She'll even research dishes that she is unfamiliar with and nails it on the first attempt. She always shows up on time, is always respectful of us since we both work from home, and cleans up after herself. Delicious food just seems to magically appear after only a few hours! On to the food. It is nothing short of scrumptious. Even with all our restrictions, Julie always manages to put so much flavor into every dish. Even something as "boring" as sautéed broccoli is seasoned to perfection. Our picky 2 year old will eat foods he normally never touches as long as Julie is the one who cooked it! If you're looking for a chef who is professional, organized, and clearly loves food, look no further than Julie. (Even though she is based in Norwalk, she travels all over Los Angeles - including our place in West LA.)

Never thought my family would have a personal chef…read more Can I just say that Chef Julie is a blessing! I reached out to several personal chefs and wasn't too pleased. I randomly learned about Chef Julie from another Chef I found on Yelp. The Chef I found on Yelp did not service my area so she "highly recommended her colleague, Julie." We really wanted someone to come to our home to prepare some meals. The meals are primarily for my diabetic father but we all planned to partake in the delicious home cooking. I sent an email to Julie and she responded within an hour. We exchanged several emails. Each email was very thorough. Chef Julie is very reflective and works hard to ensure my family is getting exactly what we need and want. Chef Julie takes her time to plan and prepare the highest quality of meals. My family gets so excited when we know she's coming. She offers flexible scheduling and affordable pricing. We can't even tell you our favorites because there are too many. Each time she comes over we discover something new that we like. Chef Julie provides great recommendations for broadening our food repertoire. In conclusion, you should really check Chef Julie out. I strongly feel that you will be pleasantly surprised with the amount of time that she takes with her clients.

Everyone complimented their attention to detail (a few guest had food restrictions and they made special plates just for the select few which made them feel special) and how amazing the food truly was. Now, every bride needs a day of coordinator. I was so happy to hear that Eco Caterers provided day of coordination. I was beyond grateful to have Emily on our team. EMILY is THE BOMB.COM! I can not thank Emily enough for providing such a wonderful experience throughout all of the chaos.

I worked with Emily on all the small and large details for quite some time and her suggestions were always on point.
