This was my second time working with A.B. and her team at Pacific Coast Catering, this time for a 90th birthday celebration, and once again they were wonderful. A.B. is genuinely invested in making your event special and somehow makes the whole process feel easy. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and a huge hit with our guests. Her staff was fantastic as well--warm and attentive throughout the party. This was a very special milestone birthday, and A.B. and her team played a big part in making the day memorable. After two great experiences with Pacific Coast Catering, I would absolutely recommend them! read more

Pacific Coast Catering was great to work with! I really apprecaite their attention to detail, the time devoted to the customer. We were hosting an event that I was also unfamilair with the location as we were travling from Northern California. AB was great! She ended up scoping out the location beforhand so come day of the catering services knew exaclty where to go. For an all day meeting, they provided both breakfast and lunch items and made sure there was enough coffee for the guests. I was really grateful for the food quality and the service. I had several compliments from the attendees from the event about how good the slections were. I enjoyed the flexibility and the ease of accommodating dietery restrictions without having to pivot the whole menu. The guests had something that was though out instead of a last minute thought or just vegetables. Overall would use again if I am in the Monterey area. read more

I'm so happy I found Pacific Coast Catering! I booked them fairly last minute for a luncheon in Salinas with very specific sustainabilty needs and dietary requests. Anna offered great suggestions, was clear in the pricing and made planning easy. The group really enjoyed the food and the service team got rave reviews. I especially appreciated the partnership since I could not be onsite in person. I've managed events professionally for many years and I am happy to recommend Pacific Coast Catering. read more

OMG Absolutely recommend this caterer. The food was delicious, they were on time, and they were very professional. We will absolutely be using them again. The vegetable lasagna with the meatballs on the side was perfect. We also ordered the Roasted Asparagus and those came with a side of Lemon Dill Aioli and that sauce was to die for! Nancy and A.B. were the best! Thank you!!! I have to add that I forgot to order a gluten free desert and A.B. took it upon herself and brought me a desert for my gluten free person! A.B. you are amazing! Oh yeah forgot to mention that they decorate your table for you, they brough greenery and made out buffet table look very festive. read more

We called AB after seeing the company on yelp to inquire about a theme buffet for our wedding, and she did NOT disappoint. Not only did she contact us frequently to check in and run ideas by us, she worked with our budget to provide the FUNNEST buffet spread I've ever seen. Not to mention the food! The bistro filet sliders were a HUGE hit, the highlight of the party, and I could have eaten the deviled eggs, chicken salad and salmon sandwiches all night! The brownie bites and mini key lime cheesecake bites flew off the tray; they melted in your mouth! Beyond that, AB showed true caring for us and our party. This was one of her smaller events, and she made us feel just as important as if she were catering hundreds for us. I truly felt like our event was as important to her as it was to us. read more

A.B. not only produces the most delicious food catering, but coordinates on timing and presentation in a perfect fashion. Our Institute engaged Pacific Coast Catering for a dramatic upscale art and dance event at Wave Street Studios in Monterey, California. Everything was prepared and plated to perfection for our large gathering of dance entertainment, artist presentations and intellectual discourse. A.B. was masterful in coordination of the delivery and timing of every detail, and her artistry was central to the success of our gala event. The event itself featured award winning dancers flown in from Madrid, Spain and an auction of original artworks produced by four of the California Central Coast's most noted artists. The California Arts and Sciences Institute will continue to call upon A.B. for some of our most upscale events. read more

I chose Pacific Coast Catering for our daughters Sunday wedding brunch over others because I felt an immediate connection with A.B.!! We chose the menu together and it didn't disappoint. Scrambled eggs, bacon, roasted potatoes, bagels and lox, build your own yogurt parfait, fresh fruit, French toast shots and croissants. Her food is absolutely delicious and the presentation is perfection! I had some guests with gluten allergies and those were accommodated as well. Her team arrived early and set up our space beautifully for our outdoor brunch. If I lived in the area, we would have Pacific Coast Catering for all my parties! Thank you again, A.B. and team for a memorable brunch!! Cheri R. read more

AB at Pacific Coast Catering is simply one of the most professional, experienced and accomplished caterer on the Peninsula! She's very considerate of making your event just what you would like. Characterize by deliciousness and lovely displays. I recommend her highly. read more

I am delighted with Pacific Coast Catering and would not hesitate to use them again. The food was delicious, so much so that many guests sought me out to compliment the chef. Moreover, the portions were generous and more than adequate for my guests, several of whom had second and third helpings! Also, I received compliments on the presentation which was buffet style but AB (the owner) had tastefully arranged flowers and rosemary on the table. And I must say that AB is an important part of this top rating. Not only was she helpful at every turn, AB accommodated family members with a complicated allergy. She also gave me excellent advice on how to cut costs and avoid amateur mistakes. I am so grateful to her for helping me make this birthday celebration a success. read more

Pacific Coast Catering catered an amazing meal for my good friend's bachelorette in Carmel. They were incredible to work with and the food was delicious! They came, set everything up, included beautiful greens and made everything effortless for us to enjoy. I sincerely hope I have the opportunity to work with Anna and her team in the future. read more

Omg...words cannot express the quality of food and professionalism this company showed for our firm's holiday party. The food was on point. The staff was amazing with the set-up. The pricing was also reasonable due to the economy still being in the pandemic. The owner AB stayed in contact with me over the months to assure the quality of the meal. She also went a step further and upgraded out tri tip to filet steak. I'm super impressed with this catering company and will definitely book again. read more

AB came to the rescue when the original caterer for my brother-in-laws memorial backed out two weeks before the memorial. AB was so kind and handled everything. She offered a wonderful menu within our budget. The food was amazing and she made it look beautiful. I am forever grateful and would highly recommend AB and Pacific Coast Catering! read more

Pacific Coast Catering do an amazing job. We had a very small kitchen and AB was amazing working with me to make my daughters wedding perfect. The food was delicious. All our guest commented on how good the food was. I was so excited to open the fridge the next morning for left overs! Oh, let's not forget the staff. They were super polite. They set up and served a beautiful buffet. I will definitely hire them again! read more

What amazing, friendly service! And the food....Delicious!! I hired Pacific Coast Catering for my sister and brother-in-law's Co-ed baby shower back in September. I rented a space at Toro Park in Salinas. We had about 100 people there and A.B. came up with a delicious menu. I wanted everything to be casual so I just had drop off service but A.B.'s version of drop-off far exceeded my expectations! She and her staff set everything up that they brought and even helped me set up the items that I brought and they were so happy to do it. They stayed for about 30 min to make sure that I felt comfortable with everything. They even had another catering event after mine. Everyone raved about the food and the amount of it! Don't worry, your guests will not go hungry with Pacific Coast Catering nor will they be disappointed...the stack of business cards A.B. left were gone once people saw their service and tasted the food. I ordered Bbq chicken, tritip with the yummiest mushroom reduction sauce (I was smart enough to put some sauce aside and freeze it at home for my hubby and I), warm, buttery garlic bread, citrus salad, amazing potato salad, and pulled pork sliders with coleslaw. JUST WOW!! Thank you A.B. and Staff for making my event so memorable. read more

My husband and I planned a very intimate wedding and reception on the Hidden Cove/Monastery beach in Carmel and we got our food delivered at the beach. Pacific Coast Catering was recommended to us by Kathee from Carmel Weddings, and we were so lucky to have them cater for our wedding reception. A.B. Introcaso was the sweetest person I have spoken to. Following a few email exchanges about available menu options, she called me and discussed my expectations, the venue, color themes and the settings in details. We wend over some personalized dishes like Tandoori chicken skewers (which very utterly delicious!) and a summer citrus salad with clementines, strawberries and roasted pecans (which was beyond amazing, as well)! She gave me very helpful suggestions for selecting a menu that goes with the beach theme and can taste delicious even when cold! Sh I wanted to get my own cutleries, glasses, plates and beverage. She helped me with ideas of how much space they would need, how to arrange them and keep them from flying off by strong ocean breeze! She also sent me list of wine-parings for the food and even reminded me to get ziplock bags to save the extra food. It was great working with her! She sent her team to set up the food table, which looked absolutely elegant! The food was so delicious, that each guest kept raving about it. The salad and the chicken was the top favorite! Outdoor weddings can be very challenging with Mother Nature being a bit unpredictable. But with the help of great vendors, it can be as magical as you dreamt it to be. A.B. was also so nice to coordinate with our wedding co-ordinator from Carmel Weddings, to make sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend working with Pacific Coast Caterer. Their service is top notch! read more

Pacific Coast Catering, led by the owner, A.B, is an incredible gem that I was lucky enough to have cater our before the wedding brunch for our son and his groomsmen. A.B. and I connected months before on the phone and it was like talking with a friend, who wanted to hear all about the event. I explained that we wanted easy to eat but hearty brunch items for 10 guys before the wedding in Carmel. It was going to be a long day (Catholic mass ceremony then reception at Tehama) and I wanted to fill them up. A.B. sent me her menu ideas with photos so that I could decide. I am a retired wedding planner and director of catering for a company in San Francisco, so I know a bit about how this should go. A.B. and her team exceeded my expectations. This was to be a drop off menu, but A.B. came in and set it all up, freeing me up to get ready myself. The food was delicious and a huge hit, with lots of variety and beautiful presentation. We had left overs for the next day, which was much appreciated! I would not hesitate to book A.B. for any catering event but especially for weddings and wedding related events as she is so caring and warm, and a true pro! read more

We needed a last minute caterer for a large party (50pp) we were throwing for a 70th bday celebration. 10 days prior to the event, based on the excellent Yelp reviews, I contacted PCC. A.B. was wonderful from start to finish. She worked within my budget, and really made our party something special. Everyone raved about her, her staff, and her food. I wish I could give 6 stars! Truly, she saved the day! read more

Pacific Coast Catering outdid themselves once again for our work holiday party. First and foremost, the food was amazing, and received rave reviews from all the guests once again. The team is super friendly and helpful, and ensured everything ran smoothly. AB goes above and beyond taking care of her clients, is extremely accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. She worked with us to find options to fit our budget, and was able to provide gluten-free and vegan options to keep everyone happy and well-fed. I can't express how grateful I am for AB and her team. Look no further if you are in need of a caterer for any event! read more

A.B. was amazing to work with during the quoting process. She provided an option that met our budget and found ways to cater food that would work with our wedding in the woods. She was personable and extremely friendly. I can tell that A.B. truly cares about her business and would put that same love into her food! Unfortunately we did not get to taste the amazing dishes she send me pictures of because we ended up doing a different country for our wedding! read more

A.B. the owner is wonderful to work with...We recently used Pacific Coast Catering for a family members celebration of life gathering. A.B. and her staff were absolutely amazing..their professionalism, understanding, and personalities made for a lovely luncheon experience. Nothing was too much trouble and all details covered. The food was absolutely delicious!!! I would highly recommend this catering company. There was total communication from the very start of things. Extremely thorough and no surprises. Thank you so much A.B. !!! read more

Ten out of ten would recommend. I probably spent a total of four hours on the phone with A.B. working out the details of our semi-destination wedding in Big Sur. We had a lot on our plate (pun intended) and if she hadn't been so gracious and helpful I'm sure we would have had some sort of disaster, but in no small part thanks to her, everything went off without a hitch! Except for us, we are now hitched. Our menu consisted of vegetable lasagna, lemon chicken, beet salad with feta cheese, citrus salad and roasted red potatoes with green beans. The first time I tasted the beet salad (at a tasting with A.B.) I was nearly moved to tears. Two days after the wedding I microwaved some left-over vegetable lasagna for breakfast and it was still probably the best lasagna I've had. Working with A.B. was a delight, and the food exceeded all possible expectations, I will be recommending her to all my friends. read more

Pacific Coast Catering has catered business lunches and events for the SPCA of Monterey which I attended and was able to sample many delicious dishes from unique sandwiches, hot entrees and an all vegetarian luncheon . When looking for a caterer for my wedding at a local bridal expo - there was A.B. and her wonderful catering business Pacific Coast Catering! Our BRUNCH was catering to European family (mild flavors), my husband's meat-loving friends, our hot-spicy co-workers and my new semi-vegetarian life style - and we wanted a few BREAKFAST items. A.B. asked many questions and after a day she came up with a wonderful menu that would allow ALL to enjoy - plus they'd be able to step out of their comfort zone and try new things if they were willing. She worked extremely well with our small guest list, advised me on the amounts and also helped scale back the menu when I got over zealous! The tables for the brunch buffet were decorated beautifully and the guests all 'ohhhhh'd and 'awwww'd and the wonderful array of deliciousness that was being shared with us and them! I've coordinated events for the past 10 years and NEVER has an event of any kind gone as wonderfully as our wedding!!! Especially when there was food involved - the hot items were HOT and the cold were chilled perfectly... I was leary about having a buffet but if A.B. and her crew are involved - I will chose the buffet!! It was amazing! It made the beginning of our marriage so enjoyable - and no stress! Thank you A.B. for being a huge part of our wedding! I'm sure I'll be seeing you at an event sometime soon!!!!!!!!! read more

My new bride and I hired AB and company to cater our after wedding event in Carmel 10-12-19 and everything was perfect!!! They were on time, had a fantastic staff, the planning process was a pleasure and every detail was met and exceeded!!! After many years in the service industry there are expectations we have and I can be very bias, when I did not have to think about the food, cleaning, and set up I knew we were on good hands! Thank you AB and crew!!! read more

We recently had an intimate wedding celebration with about 50 people in attendance. A.B. met with us a few months early at the venue to go over all the gritty details and make sure we were on the same page with our plans. I have only been to a few weddings and had no wedding planner, so I basically had no idea what I was doing but A.B. worked patiently with me, offering helpful suggestions to make sure everything went off without a hitch. A.B. even had one of her servers make sure I was fed appetizers and had ample water to drink while running around trying to take pictures after the ceremony. She also made sure my husband and I were served our own plates of food before everyone else destroyed the buffet. lol People say the bride never gets a chance to eat and enjoy the food but A.B. and her staff did a fantastic job in making sure that didn't happen to me! Everyone who attended our wedding only had good things to say about the food and the service! It was all excellent! Thank you so much to A.B. and all her wonderful staff for making our special day extra special! =) read more

A.B. was my salvation to cater my daughter's 1st communion. A.B. helped me cater my event with less than a week's service request at our home. (This just tells you how professional they are and willing to go above and beyond to help their clients). We worked together to set up a delicious meal, including a meal for a guest with food allergies. The food was delicious, the presentation was impeccable. I started to enjoy my event the moment I started talking to A.B., it felt like I was chatting with a close friend wanting the best for my event. She truly cares and understands event catering, what a host wants to receive and how to please everyone in the event including keeping everything under a specific budget. During the planning she shared pictures of the menu, to get a better idea of what I would receive and it was amazing. I ran out of words of gratitude for A.B. All our guests were impressed with the flavor of the food, the appetizers, desserts, and presentation. A.B.'s food made me look like a professional hosting an event because it was all spotless. A.B. did a wonderful set up of the buffet table and I didn't have to worry about a single thing. If you plan on hosting an event you will be in great hands with A.B. Pacific Coast Catering. I can't wait to host another event to enjoy their services. Thank you so much again A.B. my guests keep talking about your delicious meal. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! I started working with the owner A.B., many months ago for catering three meals for our 50 person family reunion. She was superlative in all of our interactions, detailed, organized, friendly, creative, and totally accommodating of our budget. We were staying at the Andril Family cottages in Pacific Grove, and the three meals were delivered earlier than expected, all the food that needed to be hot was hot, all the cold food cold and very well organized. Everything tasted delicious and we had more than enough for our group. I can't recommend this catering company enough' I am a wedding coordinator in Santa Barbara, and I wish so much that I could work with her for weddings, but a little too far for a commute for them. read more

We used Pacific Coast Catering for our son's rehearsal dinner. AB and her staff were terrific, so easy to work with and so helpful with their suggestions. They did a wonderful job for us.

A.B. made our event a success last Fall and we are calling on her again this Spring. Catering for nearly 100 guests and not one complaint. Just the opposite.

I highly recommend Pacific Coast Catering and working with A.B. She is the one who makes the difference. read more

I found Pacific Coast Catering by online searching for a caterer for my destinantion wedding in Carmel, Ca. I gave A.B. a few ideas and she ran with it.

I would reccomend her for anything, not only is she an amazing cook she is so friendly and fun to work with. Great service! Thank you! read more

My wife and I recruited A.B. and staff to help us with a Thanksgiving dinner we were hosting for our 23 member family. From day one, A.B. was exceptionally easy to work with. She is always prompt in replying to her clients' questions (both via email and phone). She presents you with a detailed menu of the food to choose from, as well as an outline of the pricing, etc. She can easily cater (no pun intended) to your specific needs and requests. The food was beyond amazing. It seemed like everything was made from scratch, and our families could not stop raving about it. The turkey was incredibly moist, and the cranberry sauce was out-of-this-world! There were plenty of leftovers, and much of our family was able to take home some food for themselves. We even had Pacific Coast help us with a small brunch we hosted the next day. Again, the food was exceptional and on time. Pacific Coast Catering created a Thanksgiving that our families will never forget. Thank you so much, A.B. and staff, for a holiday gathering we will cherish forever. My wife and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to host an event with great food made by wonderful people! - C & N Sackett read more

Pacific Coast Catering created FABULOUS lunches for my nonprofits' Condor Adventure in Big Sur. I received so many great compliments the choices of sandwich, bread, sides, etc from our attendees! The sandwiches were so tasty with lots of meat. I will definitely be recommending your company as you are amazing. You really thought of everything down to a salt and pepper shaker and paper plates. It's the little things that make you feel special and you did that effortlessly. It was obvious you take great pride in your work and in your care of your clients. Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch. We couldn't have asked for anything better than eating your food in Andrew Molera State Park on a BEEa-utiful day! read more

We were thrilled, and hope we get a chance to enjoy their catering again! read more

I worked alongside A.B. in setting up a group event on the beach in February. Not only is her food amazing but she is by far one of the nicest people I have ever met.

The group loved the way the beach area was set (tables, tiki torches, beach fires, bar etc...). An awesome, thorough job. read more
