I hired Frank and the team at Gourmet Caterers for a high end Corporate event which ran over two evenings. I can not recommend them enough! Frank was great to work with - professional, timely, creative and happy to work within our budget. He pulled out all the stops for us and created a unique experience with his Pipette Wall (a must have at your next event). At the event, Frank and the team were on time, professional looking and kind to our guests. I appreciated the fact that Frank managed his team and all details seamlessly exactly how we had discussed. Oh and the food - everything was exceptional! Our guests raved about the garlic noodles (another must have) unique mini Bao Buns and the healthy assortment of skewers. There was plenty of food to go round and no one went hungry! Thank you Gourmet Caterers - we will utilize your services again for sure! read more

Incredible service and attention to detail, I will definitely hire them again. The food was delicious with a beautiful presentation, a few guests asked my wife for recipes. Catering saves us so much preparation and we had fun because we were free to socialize. I really like Frank, the owner, because he's easy to work with and his prices are fair. read more

Gourmet Caterers is the best! I have been using them for years now and have recommended them to friends and family. Doesn't disappoint! Highly recommend Gourmet Caterers. read more

Gourmet Caterers helped make our corporate event a hit! I was tasked to plan a company luncheon for 75 employees and was fortunate to find them on Yelp. The team did not disappoint! They were timely the day of, went above and beyond my expectations, and the prices were more than fair. Great menu selection too and honestly, after trying the dishes we selected, I thought they could've charged way more (but glad they didn't :)) The employees definitely appreciated the good eats. I'll be hiring them to cater my parent's joint 60th birthday party and any other corporate events & holiday parties in the future. Thanks Frank and team! read more

We chose Gourmet Caterers for our Baby Shower in Pomona this past weekend. Nancy was a pleasure to work with and was very responsive. She even worked with our budget which was awesome. They showed up on time and brought extra staff. The fruit and vegetable station was amazing, and the salad in martini glasses was a big hit. Everyone also loved the pasta station. I received so many compliments from our guests that this was the best food at any baby shower that they've ever been to. I will definitely recommend Gourmet Caterers to anyone looking for an elegant, delicious caterer read more

Nina had already catered my daughter's Bat Mitzvah a few years back - so when it came time to find a caterer for my Kosher wedding I didn't have to think twice. Nina and her team are always professional, the food and presentation are beyond amazing. Everything that Nina had us taste was delicious. All the details were covered and we didnt have to worry about anything. I would absolutely recommend this FABULOUS catering company for any event! read more

Nancy and her team really came through for us. We needed food for a memorial reception within Laguna Woods (a gated community) and her team was quite familiar with the space. We gave her the layout and our requests and they came up with the perfect menu to fit the occasion and the space. Set up time was limited, but they pulled it off. We ordered all finger-food, everything served cold. Open faced sandwiches, vegetables & fruit plus some pastries. They even made their rugalach without nuts at my request. (It was incredibly good.) Everything looked great, we got many compliments and several guests requested her card for future events. Instead of just plates set of the table, she used levels and attractive plates & bowls for display. The fruit array was a mix of cut melon & pineapple plus a heaping pile of small tangerines, apples and lots of grapes. The cheese was beautifully laid out with a good mix of domestic goat cheese (rolled in parsley), cheddar and swiss with good quality crackers. We thought it was all priced quite reasonable for the event for 80 people (we over-ordered, so had food for 100). Our only complaint was the we ran out of coffee, but it was so good, I saw some people go back for a third cup! She even helped us to get plates and baggies full of the leftover food together to go home with guests. read more

And here we are almost four years after our wedding and people are still remembering the lobster mac and cheese and the accompanying service! read more

We have ordered from Gourmet Caterers twice, the first time they were late, brought the wrong dessert and did not include plates or utensils in delivery. Since she gave us a break for next time we decided to use them again. They were late again, they shorted us on bacon/sausage for 100 people we ran out right away. the eggs were greenish/gray in color no one wanted to eat them. The sent us fruit that way beyond its good date it was all beat up and brown. We will never use them again, and Nancy's email to us was very rude and unprofessional. read more

Used Gourmet Caterers for my son's Bar Mitzvah Luncheon. OMG! They did a fantastic job. I worked with Ruth on the plans for the Luncheon. I kind of knew what I wanted but she helped solidify the menu. Ruth & Nancy and their staff made the whole event fantastic. They took care of everything and I didn't have to worry about a thing. The way they displayed the food stations were beautiful. The luncheon was a great success. The food was delicious and everyone raved about it. Thank you Gourmet Caterers for being a part of this wonderful event in our lives. read more

I used Gourmet Caterers for my sis's bridal shower. They were very responsive and able to answer all my questions. I ordered a Mediterranean menu and Nancy helped me build it.

Overall, I was very pleased with my choice. Thanks again! read more

This is a long overdue review for Gourmet Caterers. They recently catered my cousin's party and knocked it out of the park again. I've been using them for a while because they're able to cook any type of cuisine and I'm glad she followed my recommendation. They did an excellent job setting up an international food station. My personal favorites were the fajitas, tri tip, and lasagnas. Their dessert spread was stunning and equally delicious. Job well done again, guys. Thanks for making my cousin so happy!! read more

We hired Gourmet Caterers for a casino night client appreciation party. I'm surprised anyone had room left for dinner because there were so many appetizers and people kept coming back for more since it was so good. We did a buffet dinner and I couldn't believe how robust the salad bar was. The clients were so impressed by that portion. The prime rib was the best I've ever had, everything exceeded expectations. The desserts were to die for too. Not only was the food spectacular, but the décor was amazing and perfectly themed for the event. Almost all of our guests took the time to tell us how impressed they were by the food and decorations that even included lights! The staff and service were excellent and Nancy was so helpful throughout the entire process. Hire these guys, and you wont be disappointed! read more

They catered an event for my office and did a wonderful job! Ruth was so creative with the decor and with crafting an awesome menu. Each appetizer was better than the next!

OMGoodness! I employed Gourmet Caterers for my wedding. It was at my house. Nancy was absolutely WONDERFUL from the beginning to the end. The food was the talk of the wedding.

Once everything was done and over with, the clean-up was very timely and all the left-overs were packaged up for us. I will call Gourmet Caterers over and over again! Thank you Nancy and Gourmet Caterers! read more

I hired gourmet caterers for my 65th birthday for 40 people. I told them that I was picky about food and the way in which the meal was presented. Nancy assured me that they were professional and it would be perfect. In a nutshell, it was!! The guests are still wowing me about the quality of the meal- appetizers passed around, filet, chicken grilled by their chef, salads, veggies, roasted potatoes. Their pastry chef made me my favorite cake, coconut with lemon curd filling- just amazing. Everything was very professional, the presentation went off without a hitch, cleaned up and added to a very festive occasion. I would whole heartily recommend them to anyone- Nancy listens to your request and adds her suggestions and follows through. read more

We used Gourmet Caterers for our leap day wedding event at the Ocean Institute. I received the best compliments on the food (Trio of sliders with Mac 'n' Cheese and Asparagus) in addition to the amazing desserts (wedding cake, rice pudding spoons and mini creme brulees).

Thank you Nancy! read more

I was looking for a local catering service to hire for my husband's new office in Santa Ana and came across Gourmet Caterers on Yelp. I called the number on their website and someone answered as if I had called their home, a bit unprofessional if you ask me. I gave the person my information and soon after I was contacted by Nancy Lew. I briefly told her about our event and what we were looking for. Due to unforeseen construction obstacles our office's grand opening kept getting delayed. Nancy was great at following up with me. She emailed me every few weeks to get an update which helped me a lot. During this same time I was getting close to my delivery date so I introduced Nancy to my husband and his marketing manager so they could worked out the menu and details. A week before the event, my husband met with Nancy at the site to go over details. I attended the grand opening and met with Nancy and her staff while they prepped for the event. Nancy went over all the menu items with me and I was very pleased that she took note of our interior colors and used props to carry the color scheme through. Very detail oriented! Her staff was extremely friendly and very attentive. I didn't get to try all the food they served but I did try the Tiramisu and it was really tasty. I would recommend their services and would use them again. read more

We had an event catered by Gourmet Caterers and their service was outstanding! Planing the menu was easy, they were able to accommodate all our requests, even vegetarian + gluten free. They arrived early, set up and from there it was just seamless. The food was delicious, everyone commented on how yummy everything was. Everything was cleaned up, leftovers packed away. They even took their time to pack up food for my daughter who had to head back home early to her baby. Hope to work with them again. read more

We used Gourmet Caters for our daughters graduation and birthday party and had an amazing experience.

We highly recommend Gourmet Caterers. The food for our event was beautifully presented, delicious and if 'left overs' are any clue our 130 guests loved every morsel.

We are extremely pleased with Gourmet Caterers. read more

It was wonderful to work with Nancy and her team on my mom's 60th surprise birthday party! She and her team were approachable, flexible, friendly, and were so great with the guests. The pricing was affordable, excellent service, and they also were great about bringing a bunch of supplies we bought to the venue to help keep the party a surprise from our mom! They had additional equipment like ice buckets available for us to use as well. Recommend Gourmet Caterers as your partner to make an event a success! read more

Gourmet Caterers provided a fabulous presentation of delicious food for our son's Bar Mitzvah. They first catered the morning luncheon and people raved over the food. They later worked tirelessly to complete the day by providing a sushi bar, amazing appetizers, full dinner, buffet for children. They finished with a trio of deserts on the tables and chocolate fountain with all the trimmings. We have since gotten many complements and would absolutely use Nina and Nancy for any future events. Thank you for making our day a huge success! read more

I cannot speak highly enough of the luncheon that the Gourmet Catering team did for me last week. It was a western themed lunch for 90 teachers and staff in honor of teacher appreciation week at my children's school and the school staff loved every element of it. The BBQ pulled chicken was especially popular. So many people came up to me asking where the food was from. Sandra, who set up the food was awesome and so helpful. Thanks so much!!!! Edited to say: Nancy and the Gourmet Catering team just did another event for me this past weekend and it was fabulous as always. My guests loved the food and they commented on how attentive and nice the serving staff were. Always a class act. Thank you! read more

We hired Gourmet Caterers for our son's bar mitzvah Kiddush lunch. Everything Gourmet Caterers did was top-notch -- from providing an impressive variety of menu options, helping us select items, coordinating the event details, and then delivering a fabulous experience the day of the event. Our guests were wowed by the presentation and the quality of the food, as were we. The food was delicious. The presentation was beautiful. Nancy and were team provided fabulous service. Two days after the event, and my email inbox, phone voice mail, and text message log are overflowing with compliments from family and friends. My son came home from school today saying his friends are still talking about the food. (Pleasing 13-year-old boys with Kiddush food is not an easy task!) I highly recommend Gourmet Caterers and look forward to using them again and again! read more

This is my second time using Gourmet Caterers for a Bat Mitzvah Kiddush luncheon, and I am beyond pleased with how it turned out! Nancy Lew and her team at Gourmet Caterers made my daughter's Bat Mitzvah Kiddush luncheon absolutely beautiful! They did a wonderful job with setting the buffet up! The decor that Nancy was instrumental in putting together was whimsical and perfect in keeping with the theme, "Sabrina in Wonderland!" The food was delicious and well received!! I heard lots of compliments about the bagel display and how delicious the noddle kugel was! The photos you emailed me are lovely, and I cannot wait to use some of them in Sabrina's Bat Mitzvah photo album. I also used Gourmet Caterers for Sunday brunch after the Bat Mitzvah luncheon and evening celebration on Saturday. Sandra was very accommodating and helpful in setting the Sunday brunch up at my house. The food was fresh and yummy! There was a wonderful display of artisan breads which went well with the fresh selection of deli meats. The Israeli salad was delicious, as was the blintz souffle. Nancy, again many thanks for all of your help in making Sabrina's Bat Mitzvah weekend extra special! You are a true professional! read more

Best catering company I have worked with so far. Oftentimes we get food from here for work functions and it is always great. Knowing this I decided to use them to cater an engagement party I was helping my friend plan and everything went perfectly. I called and placed the order and everything was ready on time. When I picked it up everything was packed nicely and I was given directions on how to reheat it. There is an option to have it hot and ready I just went with the reheat option because I wasn't going to use the food until much later. We went with a bbq brisket and pulled pork. Everything was tender and tasted great. The only problem was that it was WAY more food than we expected so there was a lot left over :D. It's all good though because leftover BBQ isn't the worst thing in the world. All and all I will definitely use them again. My understanding is they can almost make anything since there isn't really a set menu so give them a shot you won't regret it! read more

Nancy and her team did an awesome job for my husbands surprise Birthday party! Nancy was great to work with. She was great with answering my many emails.

Three words. A. Ma. Zing! I asked for the impossible - cater a J & J lunch two days before it happened and Nancy never even blinked. She helped tweak the menu to fit our needs and told me a two day lead time was no problem. Once the day arrived, Sandra arrived early, set up some great looking sliders and sides (the pork sliders were great!) and handled everything like a pro. i will definitely be using them again!! read more

Had Gourmet Caterer for my wife's bday. She was so thrilled with the food and presentation. The guests also complimented the food and presentation and asked the name of caterer. I had only planned the party in less than 3 weeks and Nancy had pulled it thru to make the event a success. The staff, Sandra, came in as proposed time and setup and transform the table with a nice and appealing setting. The food was tasty and delicious. Portion was enough for everyone and still have some more for us lunch/dinner the next day. Thanks GC! read more
