These wonderful culinary people are the highlight of my day at work. Each day they come and cater our office lunch I find myself excited to see what the Chef has crafted for us that day. The menu changes daily and from what I've had these were truly delightful: - Tri-Tip - Chicken - Salmon - Ravioli - Pasta - Tacos The team constantly swaps things up and it's fantastic. Dessert is also a highlight. To top off each meal they have a tray of cookies ready to go. I recommend this for any company that wants to provide their team with an awesome lunch. read more

It's surprising it took me this long to write an update about City Palate. After using City Palate for all my show related catering I decided to use them for my wedding. Joe personally sat down with me and my wife and went through all kinds of different menu options to help us figure out what we wanted the menu to look like. We had a great tasting and settled on the menu we would serve for the wedding. City Palate took care of everything from bar tenders to servers and everything in between. it was so great not having to stress about any of that since my wife and I planned our whole wedding by our selves. On the day of our wedding I was blown away by how amazing everything was! The servers were courteous and had a constant smile on their face, the food was beyond epic, the bar tenders were playful and fun, and the over all execution of the catering was flawless. I urge you, if you want epic amazing food and a caring company to cater your wedding and make your guests feel special, hire these guys!! read more

See all

I highly recommend City Palate Catering. They are oh so wonderful. Love the food, love the excellent service, love the compliments we received from our guests. Thank you Joe for helping us make our event so successful. Still thinking about your Tomato soup shots, Warm Brie and the Tuna. Till the next event. read more

City Palate is absolutely incredible! I work at a production company that went through three different caterers looking for a company that could make our executives happy. Then we found City Palate, and we didn't have to look any further. They consistently deliver incredible food that looks beautiful and tastes amazing. They also catered our wrap party for the entire cast and crew and worked within our budget to provide service and food that impressed everyone! I can not recommend them enough!!! read more

Im a producer in film/tv and have hired Joe and his team on 20+ of our sets this year. Great attitude and amazing food every time. Crew, clients and talent all enjoy the food. Joe always works to accommodate any requests. Setups are always clean and professional. Great for both smaller and larger crew size shoots. Always a pleasure! read more

I can't say enough great things about City Palate Catering!! Joe and his staff are so professional and have a real passion for what they do! I called them in a panic, having only one week to plan a party of 100+ people... They were so accommodating and helped out with so much. They came up with a brilliant menu that fit our budget and dietary restrictions! The food was AMAZING. Everyone raved. They knew how to handle a huge crowd in a small venue. The night was perfect! I cannot recommend them enough!! They're simply the best. read more

Thank you Yelp! For allowing me to voice my experience with this cater, as I my comment review in the google search was deleted. Working on a film set catering is most of the time plentiful & delicious. Yesterday on location at CSUN the food was awful & the younger of the guys was rude and disrespectful. They ran out of food and I saw them cutting leftovers and serving it to the crew on the open parking lot. Not to mention they served the same pastries they had for breakfast that must have been sitting outside all day for lunch. I would NEVER recommend (city palate catering) to anyone read more

Awesome, awesome, AWESOME. I can't say enough about how great Joe Herreros and the team at City Palate were when they catered my wife's and my wedding reception. Since I have quite a bit of food service industry experience, my fiancee put me in charge of the catering....and I struck gold, because Joe was my first and only call. He worked with me on the budget (which was relatively small), and was always available to answer any questions I had. The best thing, though? The food was PHENOMENAL. (Ours was an afternoon wedding, so the reception was hors d'oeuvres, not a sit-down meal.) Joe built us an awesome menu by first asking what my fiancee's favorite foods were, and then what mine were. She grew up in the L.A. area, so she's partial to Pan-Pacific cuisine; I grew up near New Orleans, so I love Cajun food. Joe's menu included delicious items like short-rib sliders, crab hush puppies, artichoke/arugula flatbread, truffle mac-and-cheese bites (!!!), mini lobster po-boys....and on and on. Numerous guests absolutely raved to us about the food, and my wife and I both gave Joe a bear hug after the reception for providing such a memorable feast. Let me say this: if you're looking for a caterer for your event, City Palate is THE place to book. Trust me on that!!! read more

Joe and his team are absolutely amazing. You should definitely have him cater your party/event. Here's why: It was my first time throwing a party for the Cast & Crew for one of ABC's shows, and he made it incredibly simple, and even enjoyable. I told him my budget, and he worked well within that. He gave me his contacts for ice and rentals, as well as a list for buying the efficient amount of alcohol, and supplied an amazing menu on the day that I requested a quote. He's easy to reach at all times with questions/concerns/comments. He was quick to make time in his schedule to have a walk through at the location of our event, just a few days before the party. As well as giving helpful tips about how to layout the tables/band/bar. He and his staff showed up on time, presentable, and were SUPER nice and accommodating to all of the hosts and the guests at the party. The food was AMAZING. For the next week at the studio people were complementing the food. The desserts were to die for, his wife even made us an extra dessert option (The most delicious chocolate peanut butter bar/brownies). And, when he ended up with leftovers he left lots of food with myself and the other hosts. Finding him on Yelp was an absolute goldmine. Mainly, it was a dream to work with someone that was so willing to work under our budget without sacrificing quality of food or service. Thank you Joe + Staff, you are amazing, and we will be seeing you soon!!! read more

They went out of their way to be courteous and kind to everyone. Excellent food as well. As they moved around the event, I'd ask what was in each item. Many of them had dairy in them, so I politely said "no thanks," as I cannot eat dairy. A few hours into the party, one of the servers sought me out and asked, "Are you the one who cannot eat dairy? We made you some sliders with no cheese on them for you." I did not ask for anything, nor did I complain that there was little I could eat. They just picked up that I was not having much and, without asking, went out of their way to help me. It was so very kind and generous. They truly care about the people they are making food for. The sliders were great, btw, as were the Shrimp gazpacho shooters and the veggie dumplings. read more

We love this place for production catering. We get breakfast and lunch catered for our on location shoots. Joe and his sous do a great job at prodiding delicious, healthy and diet-restrictive menus. Love working with them! read more

YES! THE BEST IN TOWN. GREAT, FIRST-CLASS, FRIENDLY, HOSPITABLE--MAKES YUMMY FOOD, AND CREATES A BEAUTIFUL, PERSONAL event, every time! I've worked with Che Joe for several large events and small plated-dinner parties at home, and Chef Joe's work ethic, stellar/friendly staff, presentation and creativity is always unique and Top Chef pro. Reasonable prices, too, plus, Joe's he keeps a clean and organized--which is really important to me. My guests always feel at home--and he takes care of everything so I can enjoy my own party. He always takes care of my bar/beverages, too. Last party, he made (from scratch) a yummy Strawberry-Basil Vodka cocktail that was beyond DELICIOUS. I'll never work with anyone else again! read more

Look no further! These are the people you want to go with. A few weeks before the party Joe worked within our budget and tweaked the menu until we were super happy. We decided on colors and look and I didn't have to think about the party again till the morning of, when all the staff showed up on time and kicked me out of the kitchen. By the time I was ready to receive my guests my back yard looked wonderful! Food was outstanding! And they were super flexible bringing the food to accommodate my guests needs. The staff was super friendly and professional. By the time the party was over my entire house looked like nothing ever happened. I cannot recommend these people enough! read more

I hired City Palate Catering to cater my birthday party in early August. I found out about them from reading reviews on Yelp. I highly recommend City Palate Catering! Joe, the head chef and owner is super talented, professional and a pleasure to work with. I had a champagne tasting party and he created the most outstanding menu for the event. Each appetizer was excellently prepared, visually stunning and mouth watering delicious!. Turning a year older never felt so good. Joe created this tailor made menu within my budget and afterwards, he and his assistance left my kitchen spotless. Five stars aren't enough for City Palate Catering. I Highly, recommend City Palate Catering, they are wonderful. read more

Joe and his staff were amazing. We held a private event at a Partner's residence a couple weeks back and we had nothing but good experiences with City Palate. They were professional, incredibly responsive, accommodating, and of course, make some great food. Our guests commented frequently on the food and I couldn't be happier with our decision to take our bets with City Palate. Hope you see you again soon - it was a pleasure working with you! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this company. The head chef, Joe Herreros has been taking care of me and my extended family for over a decade. He has cooked for intimate dinners for 10 and also designed an amazing wedding menu for 250 - and it needed to be both American and Indian cuisine. All my friends LOVE both Joe and what he does. People always leave raving about his food and his staff. Joe hand selects all of his staff and you will not find a better crew anywhere. On time. Professional. Pleasant. They always leave my home (or the venue) tidier than when they arrived. I cannot say enough good things about City Palate. You will love them. Sincerely, Megan Derry read more

City Palate is such a wonderful catering company. Not only is the food delicious, but Joe couldn't be nicer. He caters for one of our tv productions, so I get to have his amazing food almost every week. I've worked on a lot of tv productions and have had food from many different caterers, but this company is by far one of the best. If you need wonderful food and a pleasant, professional staff, then I highly recommend City Palate Catering. read more

City Palate is an incredible catering company! I work on a production and every week the food is consistently delicious and with many wonderful choices.

If you need professional and friendly staff and consistently delicious food then I highly recommend City Palate Catering! read more

City Palate Catering is perfect for any event where you need to not only have quality food, but also a hardworking and respectful staff.

I recently discovered Joe with City Palate Catering and am so happy that I did. He has catered the last few film productions of mine and the food is always amazing.

Joe will work with you on menu and on price - you can't go wrong. Plus, he is a pleasure to work with. Great experience all around. read more

Was a pleasure eating his delicious food concoctions during our show tapings. Incredibly kind, courteous, and a great fit for our production needs. read more

This is my second time reviewing. I hired them again for a New Year's Eve party. It was really good. The bartender Jann and the amazing chefs and servers were really cool. They set up so quickly and packed up the event in my home afterwards really nicely. There was nothing to do after. Super organized. Prices were affordable and they made the process easy. My family has been using them for years and i really liked the experience. My guests liked the food a lot. I had a lot of input on them menu. No complaints. read more

It came out quickly and the pace was just right. I would highly recommend City Palate and plan to use them for future events. read more

THE BEST! Last weekend we had a small family affair in our home and I didn't want to deal with the food. Our close friends recommended City Palate Catering & we could not have been more pleased.

We will definitely be looking forward to our next event with Chef Joe....I highly recommend City Palate Catering! read more

Attended a birthday party catered by City Palate. The food was delicious & Joe was super friendly! I loved how the salmon dish and the soba involved Japanese cooking with a twist. Sophia, 9, gives the dessert five stars. Highly recommend :) read more

Was invited to the party where their food was served , clean , tasty , punctual - really liked it .

Outstanding dishes, selection and presentation. I work with a production company that employs Joe's services on a weekly basis, and he never fails to deliver. He and his team can nail international dishes as well as any standard item (salad, steak, pasta, Indian, Mexican, you name it.) Highly recommended! read more
