They did a last minute cancel one week before my event. I inquired via email about 3.5 weeks out from my event date. Response took about 2-3 days in which I was pleased to hear that they were available to cater my event. This was a small event for a bridal shower 15-20 guests. The menu was sent over and I replied with my choice. 5 days after that email, I did not get a response so I sent a follow up email. On the 6th day I get a reply asking to speak on the phone. After emails back and forth to find a good time and get a contact number, it turns out the phone call was just to let me know that they can no longer offer their services for my event. Though offered to help me find other catering companies, I declined as I have lost trust to continue to move forward with any type of business with them. This is extremely disappointing! This could have saved me a lot of time and stress to find another caterer. Please be mindful in the future of your client's time. It would be more helpful to let them know as soon as possible of such a change. read more

Marcela and her crew are absolutely the best!!! From the absolutely delicious food to the care and start-to-finish service, my event was flawless. I couldn't have asked for anything more. When I need catering services again Marcela will be the first and only call I make. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us, Marcela!!! read more

It's hard to add to the praise others have offered. We agree with all of it! JClub catered a wedding shower with 20 guests in our home last Sunday. They were perfect! Marcela keeps track of everything, and her husband is the chef. From beginning to end, they were completely reliable. The food was delicious and creative. Marcela was responsive to every request for guidance and even came by to help with table layout when I was unsure the day before the event. Their cost was very fair and their service and food couldn't have been better. Marcela is both friendly and professional, which made everything more fun for this usually anxious hostess. We are still enjoying the leftovers - plenty of food, and still delicious! read more

Marcela was so easy to work with to set up the catering for the reception for a Celebration of Life for my father-in-law. She and her crew made sure that everything went smoothly so we could focus on our event. Everyone loved the food and there was plenty of it too. They even cleaned up afterwards. Wonderful team of people! read more

See all

JClub did my wedding . Let me start off by saying I am not an easy bride, my venue was extremely complicated, and my wedding was 12 hours long. I mean, I wish I could give 10 stars. My guests can't stop talking about how delicious literally EVERY SINGLE ITEM was. I am shocked at how delicious everything was. I can't even begin to express my gratitude and satisfaction for/with Jessie and his wife Marcella. If you want to know about the food skip to the bottom of this review. I just had my wedding last month. JClub was not my original caterer. My original caterer unfortunately passed away 3 months before my wedding (I know right?!). Jessie stepped in and provided what could only be considered as a feast made for kings. My venue was hilariously difficult to get to up in the mountains of Sonoma county. Jessie went above and beyond any caterer's responsibility to make my wedding phenomenal and to keep me as assured as possible (no easy feat). Due to us having a Russian wedding, I was worried we wouldn't be able to pull it off in the short amount of time we had. Family style food plating becomes complicated especially for 6 hours of continuous exchanging of items plating just the right amount for each of the tables. Especially when it is outside under the sun. There were 5 courses ya'll, on top of cocktail hour, AND desert. A total of 46 separate food items. The coordination of that much cooking alone is impressive. Polite, kind, humorous, patient, responsive, understanding, and professional are just some words I am using to describe the overall demeanor Jessie had before, during, and after the wedding. He created a menu for our budget and I was shocked by the huge amount of food we had. He has been long in the business and made recommendations what would best work in warmer temperatures served outside. He arrived on time and got to work right away. Now to the good stuff: The food was amazing. Everything was artistically created, without sacrificing taste for aesthetic pleasure. Every piece in the menu was delicious. I tried to get a bit of everything and I remember my groom saying it was not only the best wedding food he'd ever had, but probably some of the best ever! This was reflected by the sentiments of all of my guests. The food wasn't dry, wilted, tasteless, oversalted, overcooked, undercooked. Everything was fresh, made with top notch ingredients. You could taste the quality in the food. Only some of the food from the evening (if I reviewed piece by piece I'd write a novel): Cocktail Hour: Crab puffs - not too salty or fishy, perfectly flakey Fried Pilmeni - the dough was soft and meat juicy yet firm Red Caviar with Blini - Not fishy at all! Perfectly salty Appetizers: Zuchini Pancakes with salmon tartar - Do yourself a favor and order this from him. I must have eaten at least 5 Pan seared Duck Breast on a pate - perfectly flavored and textured Main Course: Roasted Garlic Potatoes with Mushrooms : probably the best potatoes I've ever had Beef Short Ribs: AMAZING. The pinot reduction added the perfect flavor to the perfectly cooked meat. Pan Seared Salmon: The dish that stole the show. My guests devoured this. I've never had a more perfectly cooked and flavored salmon. My drunk hubby would not stop eating it until there wasn't any left at the bridal table. Guests asked me for JClub's info during my wedding primarily because of this phenomenal piece of fish. If you only order 1 thing from Jessie, get his salmon. I'm forever indebted to JClub for stepping in and providing me with some of the best food I've ever had. They have found a forever customer with me and I'm sure with my guests as well. read more

We had JClub Catering prepare food for dad's 65th birthday back in May. Everything was prepared on time and ready for our pick up. Tuna tartar salad was fresh and very good. Beef and potatoes were finger-licking good. We loved beef tongue salad. The only thing that didn't turn out great were zucchini pancakes: some were seriously undercooked while others were just right. We'd definitely recommend these guys to all. Good job! read more

JClub catering provided the food for our daughter's baby shower. Everything was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. Everyone had rave reviews for the ample supply of food & they were even able to take home seconds! In addition to the wonderful food, Marcela was a joy to work with. Very accommodating & gracious! I can't wait until our next event! Thank you! read more

Where can I start? From the amazing quality of food and presentation to the amazing attention to detail with their service, JC catering is the place to go! The portions are generous as is the pricing but they do not skimp on any part of it. If you have a specific theme mind, they're on it. They research menus from other countries and make it happen. I've used JC Catering for many of my work events and every single time I've only heard rave reviews from the guests and my colleagues. I highly highly highly recommend JC Catering. You will not be sorry and may never use any other caterer ever again. Support local family owned businesses! read more

We have used Jessie for years it was always amazing but what he did for my sons birthday this Wednesday was above and beyond delicious . The presentation the taste and overwhelming amount of food was beyond my expectation . All my 60 guests called me the next day raving about party and of course food . Lots of people came over next day for brunch and still so much food left . Thank you Jessie and your fantastic team read more

We've been using JClub Catering for years now and have always been treated with the kindest and professional manor one should expect from an excellent catering firm. Chef Hilmar's talents shine in all his dishes. He accommodates us no matter what type fare we choose. Hillmar is cordial and we feel that we always get a great value for our money. The food comes hot in warmers and our congregation is always pleased with the level of quality his dishes offer. We use Club Catering for every catered event at our church and we will continue to do so this year, too. read more

JC and his staff were amazing! We hired JClub catering to do a 50th birthday party and heard nothing by fantastic reviews of the food and service from all the guests. The food was both fresh and beautifully arranged; everything was delicious. JC also made it a stress free experience by being easy to work with. He was punctual, thorough and reliable. He made it simple to decide what would be on the menu, did a spectacular job of setting up and cleaning up on time and even packaged all of the extra food into to-go containers for us to take home. Overall, the JClub was great value for the money and a pleasant experience! I would definitely work with them again. read more

My best 4th of July party EVER, because Jesse took care of everything, starting from renting tables and chairs to bringing his own barbecue pit. When we got to the park, everything was ready to go: The tables were beautifully set and the pit was smoking. The food was delicious! The aged stakes were grilled to perfection! Jesse and his wonderful wife made our celebration very special and all we had to do is to have FUN! I can't thank you enough ! read more

JClub Catering is the best! I had to find a caterer that served Russian food in a short period of time and they did a great job!

The food was wonderful, I'm still hearing compliments. read more

If I could give JClub Catering 100 stars I would! I never give yelp reviews but felt the need to express how wonderful my experience was with Marcela and her team.

JClub Catering catered my recent anniversary party. This caterer is outstanding! From our initial meeting, Chef JC worked hard to meet my needs and work within my budget. He was great at creating a menu for the variety of needs of my disparate guests. All of the JClub staff were helpful and hard-working. From set-up, through the event, to clean-up, everyone was wonderful to work with. They were resourceful, too, meeting unexpected challenges with grace and skill. They made it possible for me to relax and enjoy my event. And the food! My guests were exclaiming how wonderful the food was. I've never seen such rave responses to food! Even my friends who are experienced cooks were impressed with the quality of the preparation. If you want a caterer who pays attention to your requests, who really knows his stuff in preparing food, who works with his staff to make sure everything runs smoothly, who will thrill your guests, and who will work within your budget, this is the one for you! read more

JClub Catering catered our wedding. Their menu proposition were quite amazing, it was excellent, our guests loved both the cocktail and the dinner. Their prices are also really reasonable, they don't try to charge you "chef", "sous chef" time and I don't know what. Marcela was very accommodating changing the number of person last minute. Highly recommended! read more
