Ajaya (the Cook) and Deborah (the Look) are each incredible in their own right and when booked together to help in creating an incredible event - it's perfection! Not only were they incredibly kind and easy and fun to work with, the food they created for our event was gorgeous, upscale, elegant and most of all DELICIOUS. And then you add in Deborah's expertise and skillset when it comes to making the entire event look amazing and elegant. This lady is a genius! She created the most incredible vibe and is so detailed. Every square inch of our space I was intentionally thought out and looked and felt incredible. Our guests were blown away. I absolutely recommend The Look and The Cook and will definitely be booking them for my next event. I can't imagine going with anyone else. With Ajaya's delicious food and stunning presentation, friendly and kind serving staff and Debra's absolutely amazing event planning and executing skills - they have got you and your event COVERED! Yelp will only let me give them 5 stars, so I will, but if I could I'd give them 10!

Stopped by here with the husband and our dog a few Saturdays ago because we were excited to see a…read morenew place open up walking distance from us (there's not a lot right there on that stretch of La Brea). We were happily greeted by the shop owner, Kate. Kate walked us through the menu, which all looked delicious, suggested some things and before we knew it, we had purchased lunch and dinner for later. Light lunch was great -- I had a chicken breast and husband had blackened salmon and we split a waldorf salad. Chicken and salmon were great (and I don't like salmon) and the salad is my new favorite thing. I'm obsessed! Oh and we also got 2 mac and cheese bites which were also heavenly! For dinner we purchased a pepperoni pizza pack that we cooked on the grill later that night. That turned out really nicely (see the photo I uploaded of before and after). All that and they were super friendly and welcoming to our dog. Can't wait to go back!

Dana operates a catering company that is the approved City of Calabasas company if you have an…read moreevent on city property. Renting the city space is really inexpensive and the catering fees are higher than normal. It took Dana a month to finally answer my initial email. I should have been alerted by this and picked another venue! My mistake learned the hard way unfortunately. At every turn she was unhelpful! She is very argumentative and does not try to accommodate your event requests. I thought I was the customer?? After multiple emails to Dana about what I wanted and needed for the event, I finally had to give up since she was so unhelpful. She is not friendly or good at customer service. Her aproach to customers is rude. Everything is an extra charge with this company. You need special permission and a security guard at your event to serve alcohol, I was advised of this on the day of my event too late to arrange security so could not serve the drinks. The approved catering company for the City should have advised me of this procedure, which Dana never did! Her knowledge of the catering process and the venue was lacking for sure along with poor communication skills! I plan a lot of corporate events and have never been treated this way in the past! Most all the reviews I read about this company are poor and unfortunately I read them only after the venue was chosen. However our guests did enjoy most of the food and we had enough even with extra attendees. Lucky me other hosts had not been so fortunate! Don't be convinced to increase your count, we would have had too much food left over. You also are not given the extra food you pay for at the end of the event either. I was never told to bring containers with me to the event for the extra food! The CATERERS COMMENTS below are totally FALSE! The food served was not the best quality. Save your self the hassle and avoid this company it really makes planning your event unpleasant! Many guests felt Dana was disheveled and even rude at times during the event. I would never use this company again due the unprofessional experience.

Extra cheers for staying below budget but still being flexible with beautiful vegetarian selections (shiitake, tempeh, watercress, avocado, burdock among others...), brown rice/white rice options and presenting a wild assortment of fish (salmon, tuna, eel & more) as well as chicken / beef yakitori and grilled vegetables. The coconut-encrusted shrimp with savory/sweet dipping sauce disappeared immediately. Fresh, colorful dishes as well as an Event Planner who made everything easy peasy: Arigatou Gozaimasu!

The freshness, the flavor the uniqueness, and the absolute healthiness of every bite was and is some thing I think about since 2018 lol! I don't know what it was but it was delicious! And this was definitely one of the main things that I think about still from that trip! I was so impressed with the amount of food and the fast preparation it just seems like there is a staff of 20 people. I was just blown away. I can't wait for my friend to use them at her wedding! The unique concoctions and the display and the colors everything was gorgeous! It was like watching art and then getting to eat it! :-)

PHINOM CUISINE's plated catering perfected our farm-to-table wedding this summer!…read more We had a delicious appetizer spread, along with gorgeous yet delectable passed hors d'ouvres. Phinom's servers took the time to craft a special plate for my best friend and her husband as they took pictures after the ceremony; everybody was so moved by this sentimental gesture because there were no special requests prior. The meal itself was TO DIE FOR. We knew we'd found a gem as our Moroccan friends raved non-stop about the authenticity of the flavorful Chicken Tajin! From the beginning, MAYA (their executive chef) was prompt and accommodating, consistently staying on point in every aspect. And even though I was overwhelmed with other Maid of Honor duties, I immediately felt comfortable with YOUSSEF (their event coordinator) taking the reins when it came to all things food- and service-related. From the rentals and the bartenders to the guests with food allergies, everything was handled with grace and ease. I could tell we were in very good hands. Having worked with many caterers throughout the country for a variety of events, I can honestly say PHINOM CUISINE provided the most heavenly delicious food at an exceptional value. I've noticed many caterers will try to tack on sneaky surcharges and bill you after an event, but Phinom is beyond fair and ethical. In fact, they went out of their way to meet our needs and took care of us every step of the way. I'll be recommending them to everybody! FIVE STARS for MAYA and YOUSSEF's mouth-watering food and A+ service!

Frantic that I was not going to have any food at my event, I remembered being at a party a few days earlier where there was this fantastic taco bar! I called my friend and she gave me the number to Trejos Tacos catering and told me to ask for Briana and Madison. I instantly called and Briana took amazing care of me. She calmed me down and reassured me that Trejos could save my event. She was extremely helpful and set me up with the Trejos Taco bar! The next afternoon, a very sweet young lady named Madison showed up to my event 10min earlier than planned and was extremely helpful with set up. She created a beautiful taco bar for my event and even spent some extra time helping me with balloons and decorations. The taco bar was a huge hit and my guest not only raved about the excellent food but also the cute ballon arrangements that Madison helped me create! Thank you Trejos Tacos, Briana, and Madison for saving my event, I highly suggest Trejos catering for any and all events! The food, service, and overall experience was stress free and perfect!

I attended Fresh of The Yacht's inaugural afternoon tea, held in a lovely event space in downtown…read moreLong Beach. A lot of thought was put into the event. From the decor, to the little shop for renting or purchasing fascinators and other tea apparel, to the amazing live entertainment everything came together to make a fun time. Guests were able to select their own tea pots from a large collection, which was a great touch, we all had fun choosing the perfect one to fit our style. The tea itself could use an upgrade. There were a variety of bagged teas to choose from, and teapots were filled with hot water from carafes. In order to get a good brew the water needs to be much hotter than a carafe can keep it. Hopefully if the events continue they are able to upgrade to water kettles that can keep water boiling for the perfect brew. While the tea was a little weak, my whole table had a great time at this event and I have high hopes for future afternoon teas by this company.
