Their team was instrumental from the very beginning, offering thoughtful layout recommendations, coordinating rentals (from games to outdoor heaters to candle votives), and ensuring every detail was accounted for. Laura was a tremendous partner throughout the months of planning, and Caitlin's day of coordination was exceptional. She and the entire crew made sure food was always stocked, guests were never holding onto dirty plates nor empty drinks, and the bartenders crafted excellent cocktails all night long. Their cleanup was just as impressive; efficient, thorough, and seamless. I cannot thank Five Star Catering enough for helping us create such a memorable corporate event. We will absolutely be working with them again. I highly recommend them to any organization planning a large even. They truly elevate every aspect of the experience.

They were wonderful to work with, from start to finish: very responsive to our initial inquiries, pricing was as expected, and the team showed up on time and was ready to serve food on time.

We hired Talavera Tacos for our baby shower this past weekend based on glowing recommendations from…read morefriends and family. While the food eventually arrived, the experience leading up to and during the event was fraught with unnecessary stress. Initial communication was great, but it trailed off as we got closer to the date. Despite their "quick response" phone number, my calls and texts went completely ignored. To make matters worse, the voicemail changed from a personal greeting to a generic one 72 hours before my event, leaving me terrified that we had been scammed. We increased our headcount from 65 to 75 a week prior. After being told this was fine, I was sent an incorrect invoice that ignored the new guest count and asked for a second $300 deposit I had already paid. It took multiple follow-up emails just to get a confirmation on the final numbers. On the day of, the staff arrived promptly and set up on time. However, only 30 minutes into service--with only 30 of our 75 guests fed--they completely ran out of cilantro, onions, and grilled peppers. When I followed up the next day, they claimed they prepared for "70 guests." Even if that were true, it wasn't the 75 we paid for, and it certainly doesn't explain running out of basic toppings after 30 people. I'm incredibly glad we didn't use them for our wedding last year as originally planned. It's disappointing when the service doesn't match the reputation. 2 stars for due prompt service and the guests that got all the food really enjoyed the steak & shrimp.

I highly recommend their short ribs, baked havarti oysters, and do not pass on Bruces famous brownies! We absolutely loved how great the team was to work with as well. From the very beginning Bruce listened to the tastes/foods that were important to us and delivered on our special day. Jordan was a true hero handling our event rentals and making sure we had everything we needed for our bar service. Both were very responsive the entire time, and even hosted us for a tasting a few months prior to the event allowing us to sample what we were getting ourselves in to. I'd like to add that we also played a round of golf with them- these guys really love what they do and the people that they get to work with and it was really special for us to gain friends along the way.

Everything, and I truly mean everything, about working with Karen and her staff was wonderful and enjoyable from start to finish. Karen worked with us seamlessly to plan a menu that included our family favorites, right down to a s'mores station for this former Girl Scout. Everything about the food was delicious and outstanding, and her team was truly a delight! We received so many great comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed all the dishes and desserts, and the impeccable and friendly service. We both savored seconds of the sea bass and ravioli! In addition, it was an unusually hot day in the Santa Cruz mountains, and PIM went the extra mile to set up water stations for our guests in the many areas we gathered. In my career, I worked with dozens of caterers on both intimate and large-scale special events. Hands down, Poetry in Motion raises the bar in every way.

I ordered a street taco with pollo because the photos looked so good! And I got the large nachos with birria (shredded beef in stew) with everything on it. (There were only these two meats available, so I wanted to try them both.) The order came out in roughly 15 minutes, which was good. The size of the items were okay, but surprisingly the meats were not very warm. The taco looked bland, but it tasted good with the cilantro and diced onions. The nachos, on the other hand, was underwhelming -- mainly because it sat underneath a mountain of what looked and tasted like Velveeta cheese. The squeezed dollop of sour cream didn't make it look more appealing. I think the tacos and platters are the way to go.

I'm hoping to book them again, we had the pleasure of working with them in Saratoga, CA at our Airbnb near the Saratoga springs wedding venue & they had no issues getting to our site. Highly recommend booking them for your next event in the Bay Area, CA.
