We're all absolutely blown away by Miranda and our experience with Tahoe Mountain Tapas. Our group…read moreof 8 was fortunate enough to have Miranda's dinner service for NYE at our Incline Village vacation rental. Some standout observations include: - One of our guests had specific dietary needs, including no dairy, and Miranda made dairy-free versions specifically for them. She was accommodating for all our one-off requests and tailored the menu perfectly for us. - All our communication leading up to the event was clear, prompt, and warm. - The grill at our AirBnB wasn't working and Miranda pivoted seamlessly without skipping a beat. - She plated & served everything at the table for us, cleared dishes, and cleaned everything before she left. She did things like refill our drinks, boxed up leftovers, etc. We didn't have to lift a finger for anything from start to finish. - The food was *amazing* and everyone was impressed. The meals were truly 10/10. Of all the activities we did during our group trip in Tahoe, this dinner service stood out as the top highlight. We are so grateful for a top tier dining experience from a friendly, professional team. I can't recommend Tahoe Mountain Tapas highly enough. If you have the opportunity to book her, you have to do it!

I got a Thai Veggie Curry and a Thai Chicken Curry and shared them with another person. Both were excellent, quite tasty, and well prepared. The veggies were so fresh and delicious and still had some crunch to them. The rice was equally delicious and what I appreciated most was the curry was light and the dish wasn't swimming in a soupy mess... it was all nicely coated Everything is sustainable, organic and containers recyclable. All good stuff. The portions were quite adequate and at $14 per meal I thought it was worth it. The only criticism I have is they seemed to be a bit overwhelmed, although not terribly busy. However, regardless I highly recommend their food.

Andrew provided a 4 course (appetizer, salad, entrée, and dessert) meal for 9 girls in a bachelorette. He was extremely easy to work with prior when it came to picking the menu, coordinating dietary allergies/restrictions, and etc. We had a last minute cancellation from one of the girls and he was able to be flexible and adjust accordingly which I am super thankful for! The private chef experience was amazing and I would highly recommend it. He arrived about 4 hours early to prepare the dishes in the Airbnb kitchen, brought some of his decorations to help make the event special, and was so organized throughout the whole event. Each meal was delicious and carefully crafted. And the clean up afterwards was flawless, the kitchen looked better than it did when we first arrived to the Airbnb! Can't say enough great things, thank you Mindful Chef!

This is the first time I really got to enjoy an event I hosted and will definitely be hiring Meghan again in the future. The food was exquisite and Meghan is just the sweetest and easiest to work with. You will not be disappointed. I still can't get over how she did what she did all by herself and in someone else's kitchen without ever having to interrupt us. Everything was delicious and I didn't have a mess to clean up after the party. I can't wait to it again. Thank you Meghan!

Leading up to the evening, she was great to work with, responding quickly to emails and thoughtfully preparing a menu that would accommodate the group's various dietary restrictions and likes and dislikes. On the afternoon of the dinner, she made herself at home in our rental's kitchen and served forth a beautifully presented, utterly delicious meal. The care she takes in selecting top quality ingredients shines through in each dish. The icing on the cake (besides the mind blowing chocolate cake itself) was how spotless she left the kitchen at the end of the evening. Should another special weekend bring us to the area, I wouldn't think twice before planning another dinner with her.

Choosing Blend as our caterer was easily one of the best choices we made for our wedding day!…read moreWorking with Whitney and the Blend team was an absolute pleasure from the very beginning. They were always quick and responsive to answer our questions and the ease of scheduling our tasting was so easy! We loved that the tasting was an option and we both agreed this was easily our favorite part of the planning process. The only difficult aspect was selecting final proteins, sides, and appetizers because they're all SO good that you wish you could choose them all. The catering team on the day of the wedding were so freaking sweet. They were flexible, rolled with the rain, and didn't skip a beat on timing or set-up. It was important to us to attend our cocktail hour (in lieu of photos and missing out on guests), but as an extra benefit - the second I'd finished an appetizer, the Blend team was magically at my side to give me another. Truly, 10/10 service! In an unexpected moment, one of the Blend catering staff had congratulated us on a beautiful wedding and had then said: "They say rain is good luck on your wedding day because it washes away all the hardship that's come before." I've previously heard that 'rain on your wedding day is good luck', yet I'd never heard the second part of the saying or 'why' it's good luck. She couldn't have known our story, but my husband's a Marine and we've been together for 11 years through countless deployments, exercises, and overseas assignments. Her sharing that with us meant so much and it's stuck as one of the profound moments where I felt incredibly present and rooted on that day. Not only that moment, but all of the Blend staff were so kind and present with all our guests. I would see them laughing and joking and our guests could not stop raving about how good the food was!! They also LOVED that there was the option to go back for seconds. Each of the Blend staff at one point had complimented my dress (it was black!) and they all made me feel beautiful and seen in so many ways. As the late night bites were passed around and one of the trays emptied, the Blend girls joined us on the dance floor and it was such an epic blast. On the logistics front, Blend delivered yet again. We had 2 guests with allergies and 2 guests with dietary preferences and coordinating their needs were so easy. We also discovered one of our guests had a tonsillectomy 3 days before our wedding, so we messaged the Blend team to see if they could make any last minute accommodations and again - they delivered! From the food, to the service, to their people - Blend is one of the best choices you can make for your wedding. I can't recommend them, their food, or their staff enough. Our final selection choices: - Appetizers: Korean beef short rib wrap, pork belly skewer with maple bourbon glaze (MY FAVE), and the tuna tostada (my second fave!) - Mains: The gochujang buttermilk fried chicken thighs and New York steak with au poivre sauce - Sides: Mashed potatoes (we LOVED the smashed potatoes during our tasting, but opted for mashed instead to dip the protein in, IYKYK), grilled asparagus. - Salad: Honey crisp salad - Drink station: apple cider, strawberry lemonade, and cucumber water (This was also such a huge hit for our guests that don't drink! They loved having more options than just soda or water.)

Best caterers in Reno? I certainly think so!…read more I've had the pleasure of enjoying the culinary creations from blend catering at many many many events throughout the years and I finally had a chance to have them cater one of my own! I was looking to host a 40th birthday party for my wife and reached out to the professionals at blend catering to help craft a menu. I knew that I wanted the menu to be entirely gluten-free and be something that could be vegan friendly. They directed me to the Mediterranean section of their menu which has clear influences from Israel and I got really excited because this also happens to be the type of cuisine that my wife loves. We had that za'atar chicken Shawarma, spice cauliflower and carrots, dill infused rice, freshly made hummus and a beautiful Israeli salad featuring a ton of mini heirloom, tomatoes, shaved, radish, and cucumbers all in a tangy vinaigrette, and 100% of the menu is gluten-free and everything except for the chicken was also vegan! The team at blend delivered everything to the venue and set it up in chafing trays for easy service. They provided tongs and spoons necessary for serving the food and we brought our own plates and silverware to make sure that was on brand for the party. The feedback on the food was incredible and even though we ordered food for the exact number of guests that were in attendance, there was even still enough food left over to provide one or two meals afterwards! This crew is top-notch and I recommend everybody do their catering with blend!
