I first discovered The Market's catering when Palo Alto Players (the theatre company down the…read morestreet) started using them for opening night receptions. The desserts and savories stood out as more handcrafted and gourmet than other similar caterers in the area, and the theatre staff were extremely complimentary about their helpful team, interesting selection, and reasonable pricing. I learnt that The Market also donated items to one of the nonprofit's fundraisers, and their real and continued support of the community is a huge plus in my book. Since then, I've used The Market for catering 3 times. The first was a mini platter that owner Emel custom-created based on my preferences, and the quality and variety--even at a small platter size--were a surprise and delight. I appreciated her meticulous and hands-on work, and this first order made The Market my go-to caterer. The other 2 times were recent, for 60-80 person events, and I worked with Paola for both. Though the platters seem much less customisable now (maybe it was only possible with Emel), it was a smooth and easy process to select from their online catering menu, which sufficiently and accurately described each item. Paola responded within 24 hours to the online order form and provided the opportunity to review the proposal before taking credit card payment over the phone. She is wonderful to work with: everything was timely, efficient, and reliable. Of note: the grazing board (high quality and luxurious), the raspberry bars (my absolute favourite--I hope they never stop making these!), and the fresh fruit platter (indeed fresh and ripe, elevated with surprising/exotic fruits). I've been glad to continue recommending The Market's catering service to friends. Note: at the moment, delivery of catering orders is not available on Sundays.

We had a mediocre experience with The Market catering…read more We struggled to get in touch with them to place our initial order for a small event. We sent multiple messages and voicemails that went unreturned for several days. Just as we were getting ready to change plans and look for a different vendor, we heard back (they had been out on vacation). We decided to still give them a try. (Note: the owner response below suggests that they responded within 24 hours, but that doesn't match our experience - I think this misunderstanding is due to the fact that two of us coordinating the event had reached out to the Market . My initial inquiry submitted on their website went unanswered, and so a couple days later my colleague tried to call and left a voicemail. Eventually my colleague was able to connect with them to place an order. I actually never received any response by phone or email.) The food arrived on time, but the delivery team forgot part of our order. We tried calling both of numbers on the invoice associated with the Market, but they both went right to voicemail. We eventually got a hold of the delivery team and received our missing item halfway through our event. The portions we received were very small compared to the description. For example, "32 tea sandwiches" seems like 4-5 normal sandwiches sliced into 6ths - wild to pay $2.25 for each tiny sandwich slice. The quality of the ingredients seemed mediocre for the price (e.g. the bread seemed like basic bagged sandwich bread, sliced into uneven rectangles). The chicken skewers - the most expensive item we got - were surprisingly small. "Watermelon feta skewers bites" were about a third green olives (not listed in the description) which our guests found unappetizing - we would not have ordered this item if that ingredient had been disclosed. Salad was 99% plain mixed greens (the amount we received runs about $6.99 retail for organic mix at a specialty store). On the whole, most things seemed like we could have gotten similar-or-better quality items for a quarter of the price through Whole Foods. The plating for items was nothing special - again, supermarket take-away platters look about the same. It's really hard to justify the price we paid for the items we received. All in all, we found the service, food quality, and presentation to be unimpressive and overpriced, and the communication/delivery snafus made our event prep more stressful. Perhaps we caught them on an off day, but we were expecting more given the glowing Yelp reviews. Based on the experience we had, we'd recommend working with a different caterer.

We had a great experience with the whole Michi's Life team while looking for our wedding caterer…read more Everyone was incredibly professional, responsive, and generous throughout the whole process, and the food was both delicious and beautifully presented. What stood out most were all the thoughtful personal touches. They made an exception to host all four of us for the tasting (when normally they just allow 2) and even prepared a special yuzu salmon for us as those were our favorites. You can really tell how much care and creativity Raphael, Mike, Michi, and the whole family put into what they do. We ultimately went with another caterer that was a closer fit for the specific dinner experience we had in mind, but we came away extremely impressed with Michi's Life and were treated like family. Would absolutely recommend them and would happily consider them for another event in the future!

As soon as we ate the food, we knew exactly that we had to hire them! The food was amazing, they made us feel like we were eating at home with them. Yes, they were expensive, but they do ALOT and provide alot and during+after the wedding, we had so many people telling us it was the absolute best food they have ever eaten at a wedding. - They helped coordinate linens and rentals and helped us when we wanted to do a second meeting to confirm our selections. - They gracefully answered questions throughout when finalizing our menu, and the 2nd tasting was just as delicious as the first. Their service and warmth did not diminish one bit after we signed. - During the wedding day, mr Michi himself handed us a handroll right after the ceremony, and that honestly was one of the moments I remember vividly. - The late night snacks were much appreciated by people, and after dancing, people appreciated the extra fuel. - They even helped clean up afterwards! Even for things that werent part of dinner. Honeslty made our wedding the event of a lifetime and it wouldn't have been the same without the amazing Michi family catering us.
