    Pacific crab cakes with lime aioli.

    From our very first conversations about what our wedding would be like, we knew that food would be an integral part of our big day. Throughout our relationship, there were so many important moments that were tied food, whether it was going out to special meals, cooking together, or sharing a meal with our favorite people. We wanted to try and capture as much of that spirit as possible when picking meals for the day. When we first reached out to Terry, we had a most of an outline of ideas for the big day and were so grateful that she was incredibly receptive to our ideas. She assured us that she not only very familiar with our venue, her chef Nick had extensive experience working with a range of dietary restrictions. Most importantly, she said that it wouldn't be an issue for us to share recipes with them to create something that matched our vision. Tasting Nick's interpretation of these recipes, we knew we were in good hands. Everything tasted as good (or better!) than we remembered and it felt like they honored our recipes and our vision. They did such a wonderful job helping us shape our incredibly long menu into something that flowed through the day and worked with the quirks of our venue. It meant so much to us that they put as much thought and care into our menu as we did. And we absolutely ate some leftover cookies in our room after the wedding as we talked about how happy we were with how everything turned out.

    We used Cater Marin for a women's health event last weekend and they were fantastic. The food was delicious and everyone loved that is was so fresh, creative and gluten-free. All of the logistics were easily planned out with Terry, which made my life easier given all of the other moving parts for this event. I highly recommend and will use them again!

    Cannot say enough good things about Terry and the CaterMarin team! They catered our wedding in Sausalito in September and the food was just incredible, as was the staff. Jeannette managed the on-site team. They were even able to toke care of my mother who has major food allergies. It was a huge relief knowing my mother was taken care of on my wedding day, and that the food for our special day was exceptional.

    If I could give Terry and Cater Marin 10 STARS I would ! Seriously- She made our entire wedding process a breeze- truth be told we wanted to elope, but are so glad we didn't ...working with Her and her staff was such a wonderful experience. No wonder why she's got perfect rating on Yelp which is not heard of. The food was delicious, and we had some dietary restrictions (I'm gluten free ) . My fiancé and I met Terry at her location to go over menu and time line etc. - she had snacks waiting for us - so sweet and even Gluten free crackers for me - nice touch . Love working with her and you can tell she's a industry veteran and loves her company- it's all done with extra attention to detail. Thank you so much Cater Marin and staff! Hire Them, if you want an amazing experience and your guests to rave about their meals . My flower girl who eats quality foods for an 8 yr old - kept asking for more spring rolls - she went into the kitchen looking for more and asked her mom to get the recipe - it was hilarious. They were that good!! Got a few meals boxes up for us after the wedding which was a nice surprise! We will recommend Cater Marin and Terry to anyone looking for a special event or wedding caterer . Give her a call - she actually will answer and respond.

    A big thanks to Terry, Chef Nick and the team! They catered our wedding 2 weeks ago for our 3 course dinner. We got a lot compliments from our guests, especially for the salmon - went to Opa! in Palo Alto a few days after wedding and everyone agrees Terry's salmon is way better. Wanted to add that Terry is way beyond a caterer. We didn't have a planner so an experienced caterer is really important. One week before wedding, we asked her to have ceremony and dinner at the same venue. She basically used only one hour to change the venue set up. She is on top of everything and is easy to work with, perfect for people who have limited time. Will definitely highly recommend CaterMarin for your events!

    So, we had always thought that for our wedding the dinner wouldn't be a big to-do--we just wanted…read morepeople to get fed so they could have enough energy to go dance. Our wedding venue has a list of about a dozen approved caterers, and we went with Sage because it fit our budget--they came in at about half the price of other caterers on the list. So imagine our surprise when we arrived at our tasting a couple of months before the wedding and every dish blew us away with the quality of the ingredients and craft of preparation. Meredith and the Sage team are so thoughtful about producing a menu that takes advantage of the best in-season produce and other high-quality ingredients, and even when cooking for over 180 people everything is prepared to perfection. We really feel like we struck gold working with Sage--many of our foodie-est friends were telling us that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. We also appreciated that Sage was very accommodating for our vegan and gluten free guests, and that their family style options include many dishes that are already vegan/gluten free, ensuring that nobody was short of options for delicious food. Sage also helped us realize our vision for our bar menu, helping provide fresh lime and lemon juice for our signature cocktails and providing skillful bartenders to keep all our guests satisfied. Our day-of catering manager also did a fantastic job making sure we were fed and happy, bringing us appetizers while we were signing our marriage license, checking in with us during dinner to make sure we had everything we needed, and even preparing to-go boxes for us in case we were hungry at the end of the night. We're confident Sage is offering better food and service than many caterers that are twice the price. We're so happy we chose them for our wedding!

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!

    Rafael's is a Vallejo staple. I threw a birthday party recently and the majority of my guests said…read more"This is Rafael's. Everyone knows them!" That alone says a lot about their reputation. From the moment Frankie and I spoke, the entire process was easy and stress-free. They were great to work with, the setup and breakdown were seamless, and we had more than enough food to feed 120+ guests, with plenty left over. Having Rafael's handle the catering allowed me and my party helpers to focus on everything else instead of worrying about the food. I don't know when I'll be hosting another party this big, but when I do, Rafael's will be my first call. Thank you Rafael's Catering for helping make her day so special!

    We've hired Rafael's to cater at least 4 of our last 6 parties, from a guest size of 30 to over 100…read morepeople. The ordering process is simple, the team is efficient, portions are LARGE and they make it easy to modify items, pricing quotes, etc. Delivery and pick up has always ran smooth and the team will assist in packing up all leftovers because there definitely will be plenty. They have delivered to a hall as well as our home, they've set up in our backyard and inside our dining space. They stay communicative with delivery and pick up times, updates and ETAs of arrival. I'd have to say that by now, we have ordered every item on their menu - including the lechon, and we've gotten great feedback from family & friends. Rafael's has set the bar pretty high for quality of food and service. I recommend them to anyone that is planning to host a party and does not want the hassle of cooking, setting up, etc.

    typically do not leave reviews so when I do it's either absolutely phenomenal or far In comparison…read more Epicurean Escape Catering was by far PHENOMENAL! Matt and Patrick were extremely friendly and the food was to die for! We celebrated our microwedding in Mill Valley and I have always selected new restaurants based on yelps top reviewed restaurants. I figured this would be the best way to go to select a catering option for an area we're not local to or able to try before in person. The reviews did not steer us wrong. We would love to book again after experiencing the food and stellar service. Appetizers: We ordered the heirloom tomato bruschetta which was one of my favorites! The tomatoes were fresh and every bite was memorable! The goat cheese croquettes were to die for and the braised pork shoulder had everyone coming back for more! Dinner: I'm not a huge kale person but we had an amazing kale Caesar salad that had me hoping I could recreate it at home. I honestly don't think there was any left over! It was accompanied by the grilled antipasto platter which complemented the lasagna dinner we had perfectly! The vegetables were cooked and seasoned to perfection! We had the classic bolognese lasagna and red wine braised boneless beef short ribs for our dinner option which were gone in the blink of an eye. Dessert: To top it off, we finished with the mini amaretto panna cotta and blackberry coulis. They were as delicious as they were aesthetically appealing!

    Think twice (or more) and don't do it!…read more A group of four couples (hailing from Michigan to New Mexico) were flying into Napa for a long-planned get-together. We rented a home through VRBO and thought it would be a treat to have a catered meal from Epicurean Escape. The price was over $1000 but seemed well worth it and we paid the bill 10 days prior to our arrival. Unfortunately, if not unbelievably, we were alerted by VRBO the very next day that our contract was being cancelled as the rental house had just been purchased by a new owner. Thinking we might have to cancel the trip as VRBO might not have an alternative (they did not), we immediately contacted the caterer that we would have to cancel plans. This was 9 days prior to the planned dinner. The caterer then informed us that this was beyond their normal 10 day cancellation policy and there was nothing they could do other than a (hold your breath) 25% refund!! provide a 'credit' - a great idea for a group of 8 with most of us living thousands of miles away, or assisting us in relocating to a new venue. We eventually located a hotel where we could stay and proceeded with the trip - still very much disappointed with the caterer for not refunding our money with 9 days prior notice (along with forwarding them the note of cancellation from VRBO). With a $150 delivery fee charged by the caterer for delivery to our hotel, and no way for us to warm the food in our rooms, we anticipated the meal would arrive on serving trays with sterno heaters. But of course not.. The server who delivered the food was very nice and accommodating (we tipped them as well even though the paid contract already included an 18% gratuity fee). We began eating immediately, only to find all the food (fish and beef main courses) at room temperature. Perhaps everything would have tasted better had it been heated, but classifying the meal as 'mediocre' would be overly kind. Making matters worse (if that's possible), we have been promised a 'final' contract as three of the planned attendees could not attend, and the caterer agreed to 'adjust', only to never hear back from them almost 2 weeks later. Inflexible policy + less than thrilling meals = at least in my book, an experience worth avoiding at all costs. Caveat emptor.
