From the very beginning, they…read morewere so communicative, supportive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went perfectly, and it truly did. The entire day ran so smoothly, and we felt completely taken care of. And the FOOD... our guests are still talking about it. Truly. You know how often times wedding food is nothing to write home about? This was the complete opposite. It was genuinely delicious--like, go-back-for-seconds and thirds and fourths kind of delicious. We had multiple people tell us it was the best wedding food they've ever had. We also had them do our wedding cake, and it was honestly one of the best cakes we've ever tasted. Not just "good for a wedding cake"--actually amazing. Everything was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, which made it feel even more special. We have been raving about TMC to literally everyone who asks about our wedding. If you're planning an event and want food that people will be obsessed with and talking about long after it's over, you need to go with TMC. We cannot recommend them enough. Thank you, TMC, for making our day so memorable!

Since this was not your typical catering order, we were required to have several pre production calls and examples of their work. Anytime I emailed the team or picked up the phone - I was always taken care of immediately and there were no surprises. On the day of both of the shoots, our stylist came on time with more than enough setting's and food. They stayed on set with us all day to help re-set the food and keep it looking nice. Vucacious is now our go-to and I in fact am in the middle of working with them on our 3rd commercial. Excited to work with them again.

Our guests kept going back for seconds and were raving about the food throughout the party. A special shoutout to Ernesto, our taco man for the event. He was so friendly, super nice, and provided excellent service to all of our guests. He made the experience seamless and enjoyable.

tl;dr even if charcuterie boards and boutique home goods aren't your thing, don't miss the…read morenot-so-secret farm-to-table sandwich selection Lady & Larder is no stranger to the spotlight. This tiny Santa Monica wine-and-cheese concept debuted in 2016, and their charcuterie boards earned acclaim from Oprah and The New York Times alike. During the pandemic, Lady & Larder ventured into the sandwich game, and the result was a resounding success. Nowadays, the not-so-secret "Secret Lunch" lineup of gourmet sandwiches is among the best in Los Angeles. The tiny Santa Monica shop shares the block with a Sherwin-Williams and a boxing gym. Cross your fingers for metered street parking on the trafficky block of Pico. Outside, red metal patio furniture is shaded by the overhanging storefront. Natural light runs through multicolored windows to the shop within. The mosaic tiled floor is effortlessly chic. The soaring whitewashed walls are minimally decorated, while shelves and refrigerators are carefully curated with wines, cheeses, tinned fish, and candles. The tablet register is set up on a worn kitchen countertop. Soft, instrumental music immediately feels welcoming. I've visited multiple times for early weekend lunch, and our Toast pre-order was ready upon arrival. We grabbed a table outside, and numerous takeout customers popped in and out during our meal. My favorite was the Disco Only. This elevated turkey club featured an impressive depth of flavor, from the sharp alpine cheese to the rich garlic mayo to the tangy pepperoncini vinegar. The thick-cut Bub and Grandma's sesame bread held up admirably well, and the arugula added a welcome fresh factor. The proteins were plentiful but were outshone by the other components. I also loved the Hot Girl Salami. The sweet-and-hot mustard and crispy baguette accentuated the rich, almost buttery salami. Meanwhile, the Venice Cowgirl was like a cheeseboard on a baguette. The sweet peaches and apricot-habanero jam dominated the subtly rich cheese or thin prosciutto, but the sandwich nonetheless proved to be a unique, summery option worth sharing. Lastly, the Yes, Honey elevated the ham-and-cheese with tangy relish, but the other components felt standard and forgettable. The service was friendly and efficient, and sandwiches ran for $15-20 each. Overall, the food tasted like the Santa Monica Farmer's Market on a premium roll, with sandos ranging from good to excellent. They are worth a dedicated visit if you're in the neighborhood, and I can't wait to work my way through more of Lady & Larder's menu.

Stopped in around 10:45 on a whim. I was driving through Santa Monica, got hungry, saw the sign and…read moreswung around the block. They'd been open maybe an hour and there was one other person there picking up an order. First time here. The guy at the counter was very friendly, asked if I knew what I wanted, and I told him no and asked what's popular. He recommended three tacos so I went with that. He never asked about tortillas so they came out on corn. I'm not the biggest fan of corn tortillas, but after I sat down, I looked at the soda cup, and saw "handmade corn AND flour tortillas." Would've gone flour if I'd known that was even an option. My bad for not asking, but also a great opportunity to let a new customer know it's an option. Food came out fast. Three tacos, chips, a couple sides of salsa. All the meat was cold. Not fridge cold, but noticeably below room temperature. I'm sitting five feet from the kitchen in a place that opened 30 minutes ago. How is that even possible? The non-beef tacos were seasoned well, both of them, that part was fine. The beef was where it fell apart. Every single bite had pieces I literally couldn't chew through, and I kept pulling chunks out of my mouth. After my second bite I just stopped going back for more. For over $4 a taco, that quality is atrocious. Very fast if you need something quick to eat. First and last time for me.
