Glass Onion was the caterer…read more They set up buffet stations with foccacia, grilled vegetables, caesar salad, rice, grilled chicken breast with some kind of mango chutney, ravioli, assorted desserts, cold drinks, coffee. All of it tasted good, even if there was never a "best thing I ever ate" moment. The personnel in starched white uniforms were efficient and non-intrusive. I don't think that the budget for the event was enormous, so I infer that the quality/price ratio is very high here. If you need a caterer in Berkeley, definitely check these guys out. Ask them for a price and sample their stuff. They might be your first choice.

Always professional and attentive, not to mention delicious food. Most recently, I recommend them to a friend for a wedding reception. They served a beautiful spread of classic Italian wedding dishes (my friend was marring an Italian man). The most spectacular dish was a huge fresh fruit display covered in melting caramel. It was so good! Very glad to have RSVP here in Oakland, I wish there were more quality family run businesses like them!

From the moment I first contacted Barbara to cater my wedding reception, she gave me her full…read moreattention. Other caterers I contacted completely ignored my question of whether they could do BBQ and gave me their standard wedding chicken-and-salmon menus when I asked for a quote. But, Barbara called me up and gave me ideas from past summer picnic menus she had done. We ended up doing something else completely different (SF neighborhood-themed stations) based on a tasting we did at an actual wedding Barbara was doing. Barbara also went out of her way to accommodate our busy work schedules. I was really impressed that she met us at our home after hours for meetings and made no comment about our junky apartment. She had great ideas to supplement ours. She suggested a coffee bar, something we would've never thought of, which ended up being a hit with our guests. My only problem was with the pricing, which was vague, and I'm the kinda gal who balances her checkbook every week. I don't think she was being sneaky, she just wanted to simplify things with big lump sums, and it always kinda bothered me. Having said that, Barbara seriously took care of everything down to the last detail like I was her own daughter getting married and I never felt like I was going to be nickel-and-dimed for every little extra thing she did for us. And the food was unbelievable, even by foodie standards. Cowgirl Creamery cheese! Quesadillas made in front of you! Dim sum in huge steamer baskets! Very personable, and very busy, but always gets back to you when you email or call. I wish I could get married again so I could have FGF cater another delicious spread for us. :)

After I proposed to my wife, and we secured the Golden Gate Club for our wedding venue, they had…read moregiven my wife a list of caterers to review. She had contacted several of them on a Saturday, and two replied within hours. Barbara Federoff of Food Glorious Food was one of them, and my wife scheduled the appointment to meet in Novato. Her quote was a little more expensive than the other immediate responder, and I was whining all the way as we drove to Novato that this better be good because the traffic across the bridge is a parking lot at best, and I have better ways to spend my evenings then tasting food. But, I tried to be a sport because it's her day, and we made it there about a half hour early because the carpool lane was open. Barbara greeted us warmly, even though we were early, and gave us a glass of wine while she and her staff prepared the appetizers. After a few minutes, she rolled out the crab cakes while she talked about her business. Great, I thought, crab cakes. My experience with them is usually dismal because they are little more than a lot of deep fried bread and spices. I took a taste anyways, and after the flavors of crab followed by the right spicing flooded my mouth, I began to reconsider all of my bitchin'...it was clear this lady knew how to cook. Then after a tasty pasta dish, she served us tenderloin with pancetta that simply melted in our mouths, and at that point I had decided in my head who our caterer was. After the meat course we talked business; she assured us that she attends the event, orders the tables and glassware, and that it would be adequately staffed. I drove home with a full belly, telling my wife that it was Barbara's job to lose. All I can say is that wedding planning was a snap after we contacted her. She referred us to a 'young baker with enthusiasm' (read that as eager to price competitively) that made a marvelous cake, her contact at Beverages and More had our open bar stocked perfectly at a price that put hotel prices to shame, and all of the table services and servers were covered in her quote. In short (I know, too late), she was always responsive and professional, and her help took out all of the guesswork for food and drink. Truth be told, when you add it all up, I'm pretty sure we saved money because of her recommendations. Crunch time, wedding day. I arrived at the venue for pictures and she already had the troops slinging those god-sent crabcakes and the tables were set up. I showed her how we wanted our table decorations and seating, left the example, and headed out for the wedding. After the ceremony was finished, all was in order as we (she) planned. The room looked wonderful, and the table seating was perfect. The food came out promptly and the service and cleanup was professional. Since the wedding, we received excellent reviews about the food and drinks, and my wife still keeps raving about how much Food Glorious Food helped us plan our special day.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish with Finn & Stella…read more I have had the pleasure of working with these two on multiple events and each time they have gone above and beyond to exceeded expectations. First of all, they both have such a genuine connection to food and their craft and a true instinct for how to create the right atmosphere, menu & service to make an event special. They are delightful to work with throughout the entire process and they instantly feel like part of your family. Secondly & most importantly, the food is outstanding. The menus are well composed, the food is cooked wonderfully and they source ingredients from all the best places. They have the perfect balance of creativity, deliciousness, portion size & presentation that delivers exactly what you want from a caterer. Whether you are hosting a gourmet brunch in your backyard, catering a creative indonesian feast on top of banana leaves, throwing a paella party or anything in between, Stella and Finn deliver the goods. 5 stars all the way. Can't wait for more!

For over a year now, I have been eating next door to this restaurant, it was always one of those…read moresketchy hole-in-the-wall-way-too-much-msg kind of Chinese restaurants. The windows are covered with posters and flyers, so you cant really see inside from the parking lot, so I never bothered going in. After getting a recommendation from a friend I ventured in, it looks like an office space converted into a restaurant, super NO FRILLS, with what looked like only 2 workers, the server and the cook. The menu was huge, with great lunch specials, everything under five bucks. We ordered a round of beers, and began choosing our courses. By the way, the beers were only $2... good to know for the next drunken lunch-capade. For apps, we got tempura shrimp. There was no chili paste, but he brought out the schriracha...and that was good enough. The next dish beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, and crab all fried up and served on a crunchy flour tortilla....thats right, i said tortilla. Which was probably my favorite dish. We also had pork egg foo young, which was good. Beef chow mein... and another dish that I cant remember. We ended lunch with another round of beers, and decided that this place wasn't spectacular, but then its very hard to find a spectacular chinese restaurant. We did decide that we would come back, at least for the $2 beers.

I really can't say enough great things about this catering company. I was introduced to Lunch-In…read moreabout a year ago and have used their services on an almost weekly basis ever since. Here's why: Sales and Service- Antoinette is the owner/founder and does an amazing job of getting all the necessary information and anticipating the needs for the specific meeting or event that is being catered. Attention to detail is key and most people could learn how to execute this skill, so this is not actually where I give the most credit. What's most impressive is that she remembers all of our conversations and can recall details from previous orders quickly. The more we work together, the less I have to explain because if she encountered it once, she remembers forever. Food quality and consistency- The food is consistently amazing ALWAYS. Whether it's catering for 10 or catering for 250, the food has always been great. The head Chef, Sean, is a Culinary Academy graduate and takes the most pride in his product. They are very open and proud of where their ingredients and inspiration come from and it truly shows on every plate of food. I've received incredible feedback over the past year from attendees about how great the food is. Also, if you want something that isn't on the menu, they will work extremely hard to get whatever it is you're asking for, I've done many times. But most notable, in the past, I wanted a certain type of cupcake that they simply didn't make. But instead of saying, "I'm sorry, maybe I can interest you in....", Antoinette made sure she found exactly what I wanted and facilitated the entire ordering and delivery process. Sadly, it's very hard to get that service from a caterer these days. Business model- I like that Lunch-In was founded, and is run by a family, because it means everything they do has their name on it. They work very hard for me as a client because if the business isn't successful, they aren't successful and I personally I find it easier to work with and trust a person who works under those types of guidelines. Lucky for me - it's been great so far. I look forward to working with Lunch-In for many years to come.
