    We had a last minute wedding due to our original plans being canceled due to the wild fires in Yosemite. We decided to do it in Skyforest. We came across Tami and she was super cool and responsive with every request we had. Her food looked and tasted great! If you're looking for a personal chef caterer, you can totally rely and count on her to not let you down!

    I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Weddings are no small feat, and Camille at The Lady by the…read moreLake Catering went above and beyond for our wedding. I mean...just look at the photos. They look like they're straight out of a Pinterest board. We wanted someone local who would accommodate food allergies. We were also looking for someone who could not only make the dishes we were hoping for, but also create a gluten-free, plant-based grazing table for about 70 people. And it was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Let's talk about the dinner first. Camille set up an intimate tasting at the church where the catering company is based. Before the tasting, we had a phone call about our allergy needs, and she accommodated beautifully by making everything gluten-free and minimizing dairy where we could. My husband and I compromised slightly on dairy for dinner, but we kept the grazing board fully plant-based. After the tasting, we chose three entrées and trust me, it was hard to choose because everything was so delicious. We went with two chicken dishes. The herb-crusted chicken was originally for the kids, but once the adults tasted it, they loved it so much we ordered extra portions. The Tuscan chicken was my husband's favorite. We also chose the cod, and it was the best fish I've ever tasted in my entire life. I still dream about it. We had leftovers and since we provided containers, that's what we brought on our honeymoon. We were in heaven reliving our wedding dinner the whole time. For the sides, we couldn't choose between the herb-roasted potatoes and the mashed potatoes, so we got both. And mixed vegetables! They were delicious. Everyone raved about them afterward, especially my family. We still talk about this food. We also chose two salads. The Caesar was my favorite, and she accommodated us by making it plant-based with our favorite vegan feta. I can't express how grateful we are for how thoughtful and flexible Camille was. Now let's talk about the grazing board. I knew it was a big ask to create such a large gluten-free, plant-based grazing table for 70 people, but Camille and her team made it happen in the most beautiful way. We gave her an extensive list of the foods we wanted, and she coordinated with Rebel Cheese to get a wholesale deal for our favorite cheese wheels. She sourced all the gluten-free baguettes and crackers we sent her, brought in colorful olives, fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds, and even made homemade jams! (Are you kidding me!?) Everything was absolutely delicious and strategically and beautifully placed. She truly went above and beyond. I still cry when I look at these photos. She even had one of her servers make us our own plates from the grazing board so we didn't miss out on our favorites! How sweet is that? We also gave her our cake and cupcakes, and her team placed everything on the dessert table so beautifully. We even had polaroid photos that needed to be placed inside the cake with specific instructions, and everything was done exactly how we asked. We also gave her all the charcuterie accessories, plates, napkins, cupcakes and cake, and extra decor to go on the grazing table the day before and she did such a wonderful job implementing it all. If you're looking for a caterer in Lake Arrowhead for your wedding, I truly could not recommend Camille at The Lady by the Lake Catering more. She has the most fresh, delicious food, and she just has that special touch I feel weddings deserve. From the tasting to our wedding day, she made the entire experience unforgettable. Thank you, Camille and The Lady by the Lake staff. We will be dreaming about this food and this day for the rest of our lives.

Nancy was flexible at the last minute when our schedule changed a bit. But most importantly - the food was AMAZING! Appetizers, 3 dinner items and an amazing chocolate cake and raspberry sorbet.

Our company planned a last-minute retreat and we needed to consider meals while there. We contacted Arrowhead Farms Catering, amongst others, and Nancy came back with phenomenal menu suggestions at a reasonable price. Upon arrival, she was at the ready with homemade breads, granola, breakfast casserole, fresh juices, perfectly crisped bacon, and various treats to nosh on between meals. And, that evening for dinner, she prepared coq au vin, followed by salad, and closed it out with an amazing apple tart with apple butter ice cream--all prepared by Nancy herself. The following three meals were just as fantastic. All of this in concert with Nancy's natural charm and warmth. Even with several food allergies to consider, she was able to prepare mouthwatering meals for all. I highly recommend Nancy and Arrowhead Farms for your catering needs. She will impress and delight you and your guests, without a doubt. Five stars, all the way!

    Tea was the best choice I've made for my wedding. She was quick to respond when I reached out…read morelooking for a private chef to cook for 10 guests. She recommended a menu that's suited for our taste and I love that she was able to balance Asian/western palettes. We also didn't do a taste test, but was lucky to snatch a few of her bahn mi during her special pop up- omg the second I bite into the sandwich I knew she will deliver for our wedding. I trusted her completely. For the day of wedding she arrived on time and braved the cold in the outdoors to cook us a coursed meal. Our picky parents could not stop raving about it, and I still think about the lobster mushroom dish she made. I'm salivating as i write this. Do not hesitate to book her. She's professional, friendly, funny, and made our day so special. Excuse the bad quality of pics as I inhaled the food so fast and the pics don't do its justice. Look at how beautiful her plates are too!

I met Chef Tea through a volunteering opportunity, and she was gracious enough to make the team some of her delicious Bahn Mi Sandwiches. Talk about love at first bite! If my mouth had a soul mate, I am pretty sure it would be the Bahn Mi. For reference, I was able to try the pork and vegetarian Bahn Mi. The umami flavors hit you immediately and is welcomed with the combination of fresh veggies and held together with a crispy yet soft baguette. It was Heaven by way of every bite! Another small but important point was how each sandwich was thoughtfully wrapped and had a list of ingredients as well. Days later, I was thinking about her sandwich, and I decided to try a Bahn Mi from a popular Vietnamese restaurant in my area. I was let down because it tasted so different from what I experienced in Chef Tea's sandwich. I repeated this with another restaurant weeks later, only to be let down once more. It is safe to say that she has ruined me for all other Bahn Mi's. If you find yourself in need of a personal Chef who will deliver the "wow" factor, please consider Tra An Cuisine.

He was versatile enough to plan a keto based meal around a Traditionalist eater such as myself. From the appetizer to the desert, everything was laid out according to plan. When Chef Allan and I had our inItial meeting, we discussed what impression was I trying to set and how best he could make my anniversary evening unforgettable for my wife. Chef Allan balanced his presence in the meal preparation to keep us as informed of the various dishes he was preparing without being intrusive in our conversation. The meal itself was a success! Well plated with an aroma that made all kind of tasty promises which it kept. The flavoring was bold without being overwhelming and each dish complimented the preceding one. We gorged ourselves! When it was all said and done, my wife was impressed by Chef Allan's culinary skills and grateful for me introducing him into our lives. She gave me a free pass for the next time a "hubby" moment comes up !
