We just worked with Harvey and the team at Feast at the Annenberg Beach House and Marion Davies…read moreGuest House in Santa Monica (the event was Sept 23). At first when I heard I had to use the properties set list of caterers I wasn't too happy. After talking to a few companies, we decided on Feast. Keep in mind our event was only 10 days later... so there wasn't much time. We had a full day of panels and a mixer to plan - Harvey jumped right in - I am so glad we went with Feast - the event was a food blogger conference and they tend to know their food. We had a list of sponsors and Harvey seamlessly integrated all our sponsored products into the menu (thank you!). The eggplant with yogurt drizzle was the best eggplant I have ever tasted - one attendee said, "I'm a meat person, but the veggies were so hearty that I didn't even try the chicken." Because we had a produce and fruit sponsor we went heavy on produce for the menu, but from the looks of the chicken... Feast is probably great at any menu combination they can think of. The menu wasn't cookie cutter - it was thoughtful on food combinations and flavors. I don't think I met an attendee that didn't say the food was terrific. We had 100 in attendance. But what really set Harvey apart from other caterers we've worked with in the past was that the entire staff was extremely pleasant to be around - all day! And I mean all day. And I don't mean just courteous... I mean they smiled, laughed, joked, put us at ease kind of nice. The kind of folks you feel like are part of your event. Our event went from 7am-9pm. What a nice group of employees! All professional, lighthearted and really on top of things. Never once did we hear about any issues and they jumped in to help with everything! :) When our water arrived 2 hours late, they realized they needed to find a solution and didn't miss a beat until the water arrived. Thank you feast for helping to make our event a smash hit! We will keep you in mind for future events! If you're on the fence about choosing Feast... do it! They will make your event much more relaxed... it's already heard enough to do an event. Having the right caterer can make the world of difference. Thank you Harvey and please tell your team they were awesome!!!!!!

Our entire experience with LLK goes down as one of our favorites throughout the wedding planning…read moreprocess. Hospitality is not for the weak, and it is oftentimes a difficult endeavor, but LLK went above and beyond, from conception to execution. Given that they are the catering company for our wedding venue (Castle Green), we were initially apprehensive given wedding food's reputation, but thankfully our concerns were quickly put to rest once we started working with Kevin and Kari (the dynamic duo!) on developing our custom menu. They are so skilled and creative in working with an array of flavors and cultures. The entire team-Kevin, Kari, Brooke, and staff- was passionate about making our day special and committed to collaborating on a custom menu that we adored and felt good about sharing with our loved ones. We couldn't have asked for a kinder, more open-hearted group to work with. Our friends and family (some of them are notoriously picky eaters) were so impressed by the food--"wedding food" doesn't always have the best connotation, but the food served at our reception absolutely knocked it out of the park. Everything is customizable to your heart's content and they do an incredible job at guiding you through it all. Choosing linens, glassware, etc. was also a breeze. Commitment to getting it right and honoring our vision and my Chinese heritage. It was a small detail that was deeply meaningful and completely unexpected. From sourcing a specific brand of ingredient down to using Calrose rice as a nod to my husband's family roots in rice farming, LLK's menu was a fun nod to our respective family backgrounds. We had mentioned enjoying orange chicken but beyond incorporating a bit of Americanized Chinese food, I didn't anticipate that any other cultural food would work. LLK took it to the next step and proposed a tasty soy marinated/five spiced deviled egg with pork sung on top (a crowd pleaser and my favorite appetizer from cocktail hour; also a childhood staple for me growing up). The charcuterie table was phenomenal and all plating was elegant, fitting to the occasion. Our tasting with Kevin was an event all on its own! We had such a fun evening of genuine conversation and enjoying Following the tasting, LLK's team checked in with us regarding our tasting notes. We were impressed by how well Kevin and the team were able to recalibrate the final flavors accordingly to deliver exactly what our taste buds hoped for based on our initial tasting notes. Communication with them was always easy despite their busy schedules. We can't recommend them enough and hope to visit them at their restaurant pop ups!!

It took me a long time to decide if I wanted to leave a 1 star review because my policy is, if you…read moredon't have anything nice to say, don't say it and chance hurting someone's business, however after mulling this over for 8 weeks, I've decided that people should be aware. We had a premiere party at Castle Green in December where your only choice for catering by contract with the building is Little Lily's Kitchen. Kari and Booke were very nice, but their prices were insane for what we needed. In any case, we moved forward with an 8K invoice for a "finger-food" order for 250. When we found only 70 had RSVPd, we obviously had to honor our non-refundable contract for the 8K, which we did in good faith and ahead of schedule. But since we were at 1/3 capacity, I asked for an additional choice of finger food, which they did. The problem came in the fact that we paid for 6 servers and received 3. The food didn't begin circulating (by a very sweet wait staff) until 45 minutes after guests arrived and then it was very intermittent with many never receiving food. For 8K I expected non-stop food for our 70 guests, instead what I got (and didn't find out till later) was a lot of hungry people. On top of that, we had 16 guests report stomach issues the next morning - the commonality being goat cheese. When I addressed this to Brooke and Kari, I was not looking for a refund - after all, maybe it was a stomach virus that circulated within 24 hours, but I was dismayed by the fact that they didn't respond at all- zero, zip, nothing, not even a thank you for our business. It was the BIGGEST ripoff I've ever experienced with a caterer. For anyone having an event at Castle Green that doesn't involve a very large payout for the owners, buyer beware.

I know this because I too work for a catering company here in Los Angeles. So accustomed to being on the serving side, a night as the guest is a rarity to say the least. But the other night was one of those rare nights (twice over) because not only were we dressed in the best that HnM had to offer this Winter Collection, but also because we were totally blown away by the appetizers being trey passed to us at this silly fundraiser in Pasadena. Mini Sliders done just right (medium rare, thank you) with a toasty bun and melted cheddar cheese. To follow, little garlic crostinis acting as the base to a chicken salad concoction that included a nut of sorts (wasn't paying THAT much attention, sorry), dried cherries and a sensually seasoned binder of mayonaise - so yummy that I'd even go as far as calling it an aioli. I asked for a card, met with the chef, invested my gratitude and wished him the best. Not sure what pricing and such is like, but quality is definitely A grade.
