This company is such a disappointment, do not patronize. We won an auction item at a non-profit event for a Holiday Catering party for 16-18 people. Two weeks after the event (October) I contacted the company to book our event. I called the phone number on our packet and the phone was answered very rudely by Dan. Dan stated to email him dates and he would contact me to confirm. It took 3 emails and a call to the non-profit director to confirm a date. Then after confirming a date, he emailed me stating he overbooked our confirmed date and wanted us to pay for additional staff that he would be bringing to our house. I felt that was inappropriate but was agreeable to it if that's what he needed. Three weeks before our scheduled party, mind you invites have been sent out and guests confirmed, I try to reach out to him to get a cocktail menu, he was to do a specialty cocktail, and confirm arrival time, address etc. I sent 4 emails and numerous calls without a response. Again I contacted the non-profit director to help with communication and he did not respond to her multiple attempts. Needless to say he did not cater our party and finally cancelled through the non-profit director 4 days before our party. He had a pathetic excuse along the lines of "the dog ate my homework" and "sorry". We are thoroughly disappointed and hope this review serves as a warning to anyone looking for a caterer to stay away from this company. Such a terrible way to conduct business. read more

I happen to spend my time in party planning and learning to become a event specialist which I'm the veins in an event, birthdays, weddings etc. So February 14th valentines day I was hired by UPS they wanted to throw all the employees and their loved ones a party to show appreciation. I needed a catering company and one that could help me blow this event out of the water. I had 200+ guest that I needed to feed and I was referred taste catering by a close friend of mine. Man did they come through! Absolutely and I couldn't of done it without them. I admired chef Daniel shirley and his professionalism. Everything was more than well kept together and him and his team were so polite and unbelievably organized. The creativity that was added was mind blowing and each dish that was served was beautifully crafted and I can tell that it wasnt just for money it was a passion that was put on a plate. Everything didnt just look delicious, it tasted delicious as well. From the appetizer all the way to dessert I could taste the hard work and dedication put into these meals. I don't think I could have ever of done this without them. And for this I will continue working with taste catering and chef Daniel. He understands what it means to go the extra mile and for me he did just that. I really recommend considering them the next time you are in need of a catering service and a experience of a lifetime. read more

So I was in need for a catering service for my sisters wedding January 24th at the Grey Eagle. The venue the barn. There were approximately 124 people and so we consulted with chef Daniel shirley and I was very impressed with their wait staff and their bartenders. They were very polite and very professional with the food service. Which I'd say was refreshing. Their food came out flawlessly with their appetizers first. Not to mention, chef Daniel plated the bride and groom personally and professionally which I have never seen another catering company do and I have hired other catering companies throughout my profession. I would recommend taste catering and will most definitely use throughout the rest of my career. They are very reasonable priced and I dont have anything bad to say about them. Hands down the best catering company by far. Five stars guaranteed. read more

We just had our Christmas Party for our company this past Friday night. I had called about 6 different catering companies and I only received several responses back. Chef Dan replied immediately and sent a large list of options,, there were so many that I needed Chef Dan;s help in choosing the menu. He replied quickly to all of my emails and phone calls, he also worked with our budget. The food was awesome, the setup was quick and effortless, the clean was fast and well done. We ordered the Tri tip and stuff chicken breast, scalloped potatoes, Vegetable melody, Christmas salad with two different kinds of dressings, along with rolls and butter. The food was a memorable part of our party. We will be using Taste Catering again in the future! read more

Hired taste catering to do a cosmetic event for me. Dan politely asked what my budget was and allowed me to taste items I could afford. He provided high quality linens, beautiful napkins, and even made me lunch while I set up my event. He allowed me to pick the colors, and his food presentation was beautiful! As beautiful as it was delicious. I was impressed with every bit of the business, but I was absolutely touched by Dans genuine helpful heart. He was sincerely interested in helping me have a successful event. He went out of his way to help in any way he could. He advertised my event and even lead a few new customers my way. I never have to have a bad catering experience again! Thank you SO MUCH DAN !! You are truly a game changer read more

Chef Dan & Donna created one of the most memorable experience for us when they catered for our Baby Shower. Not only did they cater, they also managed the overall event for us including a theme based venue set up & decoration. The food spread was impeccable right from preparation to presentation. They also ensured personal service to all the guests at the event. As a professional agency, they have been very accommodating to the minutest of detail in managing our expectation. Their pricing has also been very competitive. We'd definitely recommend Taste Caterers to anyone who'd like to have an end to end service provider for managing their events. read more

Just booked my son's wedding with Taste Catering. So happy with the professionalism how everything was handled. I have no doubt in my mind that they are by far the best in Reno and the out lining communities. Dan Shirley always goes above and beyond!! So easy to talk with and can see your vision. Not only did he do my daughter's wedding almost 2 years ago. We now have the pleasure of having Taste Catering do my son's. I know from experience the food will be excellent and the presentation will be fantastic. So excited for the special day. I would highly recommend this company for all your special occasions.

This "business" is a scam. We were stupid enough to hire Dan Shirley and did not vett him properly. Google Crave catering and Dan Shirley. He is a fraud. We just won a judgement against him for more than $7000 in small claims court but will probably never see the money. Not only did he not cater our wedding, he brought with him "employees" that were high on crack (Dan's admission) and later Dan himself showed up black and blue to retrieve the few items he did bring (none of it was food). DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. There is no business license for this "business". read more

This catering business is very good. We had a bookclub Holiday Dinner that we wanted catered and Dan was very helpful in working with dairy allergies and setting up a menu that would work with our budget. The dinner went off without a hitch even though Dan had a flat tire on the way to the house. They were super organized! It was a sit down dinner and Taste Catering handled all the prep and serving, etc. We were very impressed and the food was really delicious. Our menu included tri-tip, salmon, squash, rolls, salad, and cheesecake or mousse cake. Yum! read more

Taste Catering Highly Recommended!! Hiring Taste Catering was absolutely one of the best decisions we made when planning our party.

They helped us with some last-minute fixes and even added delicious food and appetizers with no additional charge. From the customer service to the set up to the quality of the food, everything was top notch. read more
