We also had someone in our group with dietary restrictions. Hannah ensured that she fully understood our friend's dietary limitations and even made a special dessert she could enjoy. Apart from the food, the service was amazing - the kitchen was left spotless and it was such a relief to continue to enjoy our evening without all the clean up. Hannah and Ian are also lovely people with a very calming demeanor and that definitely added to what was a perfect evening. We would definitely recommend Coming Home for your next event!

With less than a week to secure someone, I contacted Elaine at Tres Bien who just happened to have a cancellation. She was so easy to work with and her expertise was key in ensuring we had a scrumptious menu that would accommodate seven adults and three kids. Leading up to the dinner event, she was in close contact with me to ensure all details were thought through. She arrived with her sous chef Brett and together they worked their magic with great efficiency. We were all so impressed with the outcome as it really elevated the experience making for a special dinner for mom and us all.

I completely lucked out with securing her services for that same week (she had a reschedule which opened up her schedule). Leading up to our dinner, Elaine helped with all the things we needed to think of having on hand, as well as let us know what she was able to provide. She also provided her feedback on our initial choices, stating that it would've been too 'rich' in terms of flavors...the final menu was incredible: Salmon, beef loin, brussels, twice baked potatoes, grilled pear salad and three appetizers. She even provided some breaded chicken that the kids gobbled up and wanted 'seconds' (which almost NEVER happens). One of the kids (8-years old) was completely impressed that we brought the restaurant experience to us! All in all, Tres Bien provided an elevated experience that everyone enjoyed to the fullest.

The food was so good and our guests raved about it even after the event. We opted for a multi course plated service and everything was delicious, presented so beautifully and made fresh local ingredients that truly wowed us all. 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. Thank you guys again for such a wonderful experience and we can't wait to work with you again soon!

We worked with Hollie for over a year leading up to our wedding at the Wind and Sea Estate in Big Sur in September of 2023. An elegant dining experience with top notch food and service was what we wanted to create for our wedding, and Hollie and her team delivered that and so much more. We worked closely with Hollie over the months to craft an elevated dining experience starting with passed apps and a grazing table followed by a 3 course plated dinner menu and finished with a delectable fall themed dessert. We were lucky enough to meet Hollie 7 months before the event to get to know her, taste some of her incredible food, and work on the menu together. Throughout the whole process, Hollie was extremely flexible and creative in crafting our menu to be just how we wanted, customizing every little detail to make it perfect. She was SO organized and very communicative in the months leading up to the wedding. She also was a huge help in determining all of the rentals we needed to curate a beautiful and elevated dining experience for our guests, all the way down to the correct number of forks! I don't even know where to begin when it comes to the day of the wedding. Hollie and her team of at least 7 people created the most memorable, elevated and magical experience for us and all of our guests. The waitstaff was top notch, providing better service than we have received at many restaurants. It was the perfect dinner party to celebrate our wedding! It's hard to put into words how delicious the food was. We so appreciate that Hollie uses ingredients from lots of local vendors and provides the highest quality items in her dishes. The food was exploding with flavor, perfectly cooked and so fresh. Every little detail in each course did not go unnoticed, we savored every bite! Our guests cannot stop talking about how it was one of the best dining experiences they ever had. We are already trying to plan when we can work with Hollie again. Thank you for the most perfect day!

Chef Anthony came to our home, showed us many delicious dishes from plant base pizza, jack fruit Chile Verde and amazing healthy tacos.

He instructed us through a variety of fruits and vegetables, spices and seasonings, we were tasting it along the way, and when the final product was served..... We were delighted, a couple of frowns about eating the unknown, but when we tasted the food, we agreed it was something we liked. Chef Anthony has a love and passion for plant base cooking and I'm thankful he was able to share that with us. He is very calm and patient while instructing. He allows and encourages hands on learning, so we are included in the process of life. To create and mix foods and flavors that are healthy for us.
