She helped me customize the perfect menu for our smaller party, and I appreciated her flexibility in adding last minute add-ons. Best of all, Ilona created the most beautiful catering table for the event and she truly took our "cutie" citrus theme to heart. All of our guests loved the food (especially the chicken and waffles!) and wanted to know who catered the party. I rarely do Yelp reviews anymore and this wasn't even requested, but Bits and Bites deserves the praise and more than 5 stars!

So thankful to Ilona for setting up a beautiful display of delicious food for our party!…read more I usually love a good grazing table but we didn't have enough people for it. Luckily Ilona had a great menu of items for us to choose from to design a perfect brunch birthday. She brought everything for the setup (except the table/linens), plates, flowers, tier trays, etc... Not only did she set up the table perfectly everything tasted wonderful. Everyone couldn't stop raving about how beautiful and delicious everything was. Looking forward to hosting another party with Ilona!

My husband is from Spain and was amazed by the experience - he says it's the best paella he's had in the US. Thank you for making our special day truly perfect.

Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

We did everything by email with Cassie in the beginning. We had a hard time choosing the food because the options were vast - like overwhelming almost. I finally chose "stir fry" because it was vegetarian and we also got a chicken option and some appetizers like salmon and charcuterie. The apps were delicious. The "stir fry" however was not. It was underwhelming to say the least. And it was so much food I felt like it was really thrown together. Soggy veggies. Limp ramen. I asked for pictures ahead of time so I could see what I was getting but nope they don't have pictures of their own food. Weird. The best part was Blanca who dropped off and picked up everything. She was really nice and helpful. Cassie the owner never reached out to confirm the party ahead of time and worse - didn't call to see how everything was afterward. This was over $1000 I spent on food for 24 people!!! I wish I had just gotten chipotle honestly. Pic is of the charcuterie that Blanca put together. People liked it and the mushroom purses too.
