    The team at L.A. Roots catered our non-profit event late last year and they were wonderful to work with. The staff was so accommodating and helpful the entire process. They helped us fit things into our budget and this was the first year that we had ZERO complaints about the menu. Everyone was so happy and the food was beyond delicious. We will definitely use them again and would recommend them to others!

    We absolutely loved LA Roots Catering! we had our wedding on 11/13/2021 and if we were to have another wedding, we would book them in a heartbeat. And here are my reasons: - Isaiah and Nikole were super profession and helpful from the start, the communication was top-notch- tasting was set up quickly, menu was finalized perfectly, and every detail were double checked prior to the wedding day to ensure smooth execution. This to me was as important as the food, and they delivered. The whole process was so easy and stress-free! - THE FOOD. Food was one of the most important aspect of our wedding. We didnt want "wedding food". We wanted FOOD FOOD. After our taste testing we definitely knew they could handle great food for over 125 people. We did family style with Shrimp Creole and Braised Beef as our main dish. People loved the braised beef and I personally loved the Shrimp Creole. For cocktail hour, we got the tuna tartar, steak crostini, and vegan hush puppy. I LOVED the tuna tartar since the food tasting, and based on my sister (who is very picky) also LOVED the tuna tartar. Others also liked steak crostini saying it was very good steak quality. - Service. LA Roots Catering brought their own service team for the wedding. And they were so nice. I know that since I am the bride they were probably nice to me, but multiple guests have told me that they were SO NICE to everyone. One guests really wanted to try the tuna tartar but those ran out pretty quick, so the waiters actually made sure this guest got some tuna tartar when they were out. This was a nice gesture that the guest made sure to tell me she felt very taken care of. And as a hostess, nothing makes me happier than knowing my guests were taken care of. - Price. They had the most reasonable price out of maybe 8 vendors I reached out to. The value of what they offer was comparable by none other vendors. I thought their food looked and taste as good as some high end catering but with a much more reasonable price tag! And their team is also so much more efficient than other vendor team. They had about a team of 6 and took care of my entire guests no problem. I had vendors quoting me team of 10+... You can just tell Isaiah runs a good ship. I've posted some photos to show that even their presentation was really nice. We opt out of the "cedar plank" placement because of the wedding overall look, but even then everything looked SOOO beautiful!! So in conclusion... book them!

    I just had the pleasure of being catered by LA Roots Catering. I contracted them for my dad's memorial. Right off the bat they were nice and helped me decide the type of service I wanted. Then they came early and were well prepared in serving the trays. The food was prepared on site and refilled quickly so it was fresh and yummy. All was was delicious! I got so many compliments for the food! Good thing I overordered a bit because many had seconds, thirds, and fourths lol. The staff (shoutout to Tommy) was very sensitive to the occasion and so helpful. I ordered creole shrimp sliders, beef ribs sliders, polenta and salmon crostini all delicious! I will definitely call them for future catering services, I'm very satisfied and so were my guests.

    We had our wedding this past May in 2021 and let me just say, look no further. Isaiah and his team were incredible and professional throughout the entire process of our wedding planning. From the moment I reached out, the first phone call, to our tasting, and wedding day, Isaiah has always been up front, personable, and so genuine with every interaction. He was super patient with us throughout our covid wedding planning experience which was definitely appreciated. On top of it all, I had guests raving about the food to me multiple times after the wedding. Even my parents and family enjoyed the food and specifically called it out. To this day, I still have people tell me how great the food was. That almost never happens with wedding food, so LA Roots definitely knows what they are doing. A few popular items we chose were the salmon, filet mignon pieces (SO good, according to my family/friends), garlic mashed potatoes, flat bread, ahi tuna + chip (yummy). I would have to say that of all of our vendors, LA Roots would be #1 across the board in terms of professionalism, service, delivery, and quality. And honestly all our vendors were pretty great too. Even still, this team clearly stood out and definitely exceeded our expectations. My only regret is waiting this long to leave a review. Thank you SO much for everything, Isaiah! You and your team are THE BEST and I wish you all well. - Cindy & Eric

    Isaiah is a superhero. Isaiah and his talented team are the full package. Living in SF and traveling mainly for eats, my wifey and I frequent many dining establishments and our fair share of Michelin starred experiences. LA Roots strike the perfect balance between high quality execution and approachable, delicious food. The best part is that you feel like you are amongst family with Isaiah and his amazing crew. My wifey and I dedicated many weekends visiting caterers for our wedding in Beverly Hills. Our primary focus for our wedding was to share this special moment with our closest family and friends over the best curated food and cocktails. (Fun fact: to underscore how important food was to us in the list of wedding priorities...I found my wedding dress the week prior to our wedding). As soon as we walked through the door of LA Roots for our scheduled tasting, you were presented with warmth and professionalism from beginning to end. Isaiah and his team stood out above the other LA caterers we considered, and our decision to invite them into our intimate 58 person wedding ceremony was further validated day of. The Woolsey Fire ignited two days before our wedding. People were losing their homes and risking their lives. It was a less than ideal time to be celebrating our love when there were bigger things happening around us. Our wedding weekend seemed so trivial in comparison. In the end, we were very lucky--in a lot of ways--including Isaiah and his team. Somehow against all odds, they delivered the most memorable experience for our special day. All of our guests were extremely verbose about the food and even my mom was impressed! The special part of LA Roots doesn't end there. With all the food of the weddings that were cancelled that weekend, Isaiah and his team set up camp serving free food to firefighters and evacuated families. I didn't exaggerate. Isaiah is a superhero.

    The presentation is so beautiful - they provide the platters and utensils.

    Honestly, the worst experience with a catering company ever. They ruined our event and took zero accountability for it - very disappointed.

Silver Spoons made everything happen, put the numerous gorgeous bouquets that people brought away in the perfect vases, which Scott or his team somehow found on their own without bothering me. They made everything look delicious despite the unbelievable heat, and then, on top of everything else - everything WAS delicious and delightful. The food was fantastic. And Scott Tessler and his team all talked to our guests in such a nice way. It was fun to have them there. We have used Silver Spoons intermittently over the years - for our daughter's wedding in Malibu in 2015, and now again, to introduce her baby to our friends and family. I'm beginning to think we should do this more often - the results from Scott and Silver Spoons are outstanding. After our event was over, exhausted, we came back to our kitchen, and discovered scads of perfectly wrapped leftovers - Steve and I simultaneously went hunting for that incredible mustard - oh, no, did they leave us some? Yes! You left us a significant amount, nicely wrapped up. And you cleaned up the kitchen beautifully! Even mopped! Everything was left in perfect order. I've been enjoying all the leftovers now for a few days. We have already given Silver Spoons' contact information to one guest at the party, who was very impressed with its work. Many of our guests were already familiar with Silver Spoons from their experiences at University Synagogue (now part of Wilshire Boulevard Temple). The food, the presentation, interaction with guests, following of dietary/allergy restrictions - all perfect. We had magnificent vegetables for the vegans, gluten-free dishes of all kinds that were superb, regular dishes that were wonderful - the food was great. And the service is exceptional. Our baby grandson had a grand debut in the Millers' back yard, and Silver Spoons Catering was a big part of that. Silver Spoons did a wonderful job, and we thank them for it.
