Their website…read morestates that they have extensive experience in the service industry and were fully equipped to work a variety of events. I originally messaged them on Instagram as I was unable to find their phone number on their busy website. After some time I followed up with a phone call (I had found the number by then) and left a voice message. I should have gotten the hint that their level of service was already not what I was looking for and moved on but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. When I finally received a call back, I was informed that despite their website info, they "don't really do events anymore" but if the wedding was small (it was) they could possibly do it. We spoke about my event and she said she would text me her info and pricing. She did not, and at that point I gave up. I did not get the sense of professionalism that I was looking for and so I would not recommend hiring them for special events despite what their website says.

I was able to get in touch with her right away, set up a plan for that very same weekend & she showed up right on time with a host of yummy snacks & delicious coffee!!! The entire experience was so much more than we could have hoped for considering how last-minute our planning was, but Karen was so understanding, professional & accommodating that I feel extremely grateful I found her yelp page!!! As for that one nasty review, sounds to me like someone took Karen's accommodating nature for granted, which was heartbreaking to see when I met her because I can't imagine anyone having that experience with her. Interestingly enough, it actually DID start raining at our event out of nowhere & Karen, quite literally, rode the storm out with tents blowing in the wind & all!!! I honestly can't recommend Karen enough, & not just for the heart she clearly puts into her business, but also for the incredible double-shot mocha soy latte that made my morning!!!!

Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

He created a fantastic menu, which was only surpassed by the beautiful presentation and delicious food. Everything was amazing--especially The Mexican White Shrimp "Gambas Al Ajillo" and the Maple Pecan Bread Pudding, both were off the charts. Portions were generous and leftovers were meticulously stored to enjoy later! Clean-up was impeccable. I couldn't recommend Flavor Affinity any more enthusiastically, Thanks Jason!

We chose Culinary Kitchen for our recent wedding in Julian, CA this past June and my husband and I…read moreare incredibly thankful that we got to work with Ashley and JP for our big day! Food and catering service were some of our highest priorities to get right during our wedding and Culinary Kitchen was phenomenal every step of the way. Our communication with Ashley and and JP before, during, and after the wedding was exceptional. From the very beginning, Ashley was very responsive and regularly checked in with us, which helped me feel less overwhelmed by all the catering decisions we needed to make. I tend to err on being extremely detail oriented and I asked tons of questions early on. Ashley was so patient and thorough with each email I had sent over even before booking. Before choosing our caterer, we did 3 different wedding caterer tastings and Culinary Kitchen easily was the best of all three (we're still thinking about the gochujang meatballs and the cavatappi pasta with fennel sausage!!). On our wedding day, the food service ran seamlessly and our guests often commented on how good the food was (guests were actually trying to sneak chicken tenders off the kids plates because even the kids meals were so good). Their team also helped us serve our desserts, did our bartending, and rented/placed all of our table settings, all at very reasonable prices as part of the entire catering package. The team also went above and beyond to accommodate all of our guests' special dietary needs while still helping us stay within budget and recommending a cohesive menu. One last thing - we did A LOT of research on different San Diego caterers before our wedding (I think we sent out inquiries to at least 10 other caterers) and Culinary Kitchen's catering packages felt the most "upscale" and comprehensive without leaving us feeling nickel and dimed for every line item. I truly felt like their team was on our side the whole way. THANK YOU Culinary Kitchen for catering our wedding day!! We wish you guys the best of success!

I originally wanted them to cater my wedding and while we didnt quite go that direction, I loved them so much and wanted to support them so badly that I circled back with them for my DREAM rehearsal lunch. I had a crazy idea that I wanted to do a kamayan style lunch to celebrate my Filipino heritage and they were not only super onboard but even brought the flowers to bring it to life (unexpected and almost made me cry lol). Garlic Chicken, Lechon , Lumpia , Veggie Medley , Garlic Rice, Pancit - it was all SO GOOD. My family and friends told me they were drooling over it like 10 times before we could even give our thank you speech to start the meal - and once eaten, everyone RAVED and also kept asking where the food was from (which of course I raved about back). A huge mahalo to Khara who has been the sweetest soul and rock to lean on when bringing the vision to life , Morgan who stepped in with administrative coordination, Chef Andy of course for the DELICIOUS meal(s), and the whole Kalei's Kitchenette ohana. This will not be the last of me, my family, or my friends , so until next time! Thank you so much again!

Not only was the theme perfect and expertly executes, but with a million other items for me to coordinate at work, Marie was able to take the reigns completely with setup and coordination of the party. She made it so that I just needed to show up! The menu created was perfectly on par with the theme. The food prepared was excellent and many folks went back for seconds. I've attached a few photos as proof of Marie's fabulous work. We will most DEFINITELY be using Root Cellar again.
