Included on the menu were stations of mini bratwursts wrapped in a pretzel bun, fresh shucked oysters, barbacoa tacos, and dry rubbed smoked beef. My favorite was the tray passed hamachi crudo. It paired well with the avocado mousse, pickled radish, and crispy won ton. The manager had them make me 4 extra ones since I liked it so much! Dessert was not available until 7:30, and I was the first one in line! It was held in a private room and the presentation was beautiful. I liked the banana one the most, which they ran out of towards the end. The staff is also incredibly friendly and professional. I enjoyed meeting all the hard-working people from this company. I had a lot of fun checking out this amazing facility as well.

We did the filet and bruschetta chicken dual entree concept with green beans almondine and smashed potatoes. Wow, just wow. The food is delicious and you can tell the chef is both talented and proud of the work he produces. And then there is Bill Benson, one of Brothers Catering sales managers. He went above and beyond to help us not only with culinary concerns but anything wedding related. We actually used his recommendation for floral and were very happy following his suggestion. His warm and fun personality really took a lot of the stress of wedding planning away. We knew with him helping us we were in good hands. On the big day Brothers arrived on time and were flexible with their kitchen arrangements. They cooked all the entrees fresh on site with their mobile kitchen. Everyone of our guests were giving us compliments on our food choices. Brothers provided us with vegetarian options as well. We choice a quinoa stuffed bell pepper - it was also a huge hit. Their waitstaff was attentive and professional the whole time. We know we will hire Brothers Catering again we just don't know when!

But more than that, was the amazing food menu. I can't even express in words how amazing the appetizers, dinner entrees were. And it wasn't just me. I must have gotten at least 15 or more guests absolutely raving about the food. One guest even said it beat any home cooked or restaurant food she had ever eaten! And that is not an exaggeration! From the very beginning, Sierra made sure all of my clients requests were met and the communication was the outstanding. Billy (chef) doubled up on outstanding with the most amazing, flavorful, unique and tasty appetizer and dinner menu. You can definitely taste the love and effort he puts into his cooking. And last but not least....the staff! Absolutely the best! And served with a smile! In my opinion this is an unbeatable team. Highly recommend them to anyone who would like to have an unforgettable event with the best service and most amazing food. Thank you Four Season! You knocked it out of the park!

Quality imagination presentation --…read more Four Seasons Food Catering is owned by the marvelous duo Billy Burd and Sierra Ridenour-Burd. They make an amazing team. They catered a party for us at the The Thursday Club in Point Loma in March and dazzled everyone. When we were trying to choose a caterer we were attracted to Four Seasons by the imaginative and creative flair of Chef Billy Burd's cuisine and by their very positive reviews. One thing that caught our attention about the reviews was that many of them were fairly long. Apparently reviewers were not satisfied to give 5 stars and a paragraph of praise, they really wanted to testify. They felt that Four Seasons was special and they were motivated to let you know just how special. After experiencing Four Seasons catering service we can understand that sentiment. The culinary experience Four Seasons provided was marvelous. The dishes were imaginative, taste tempting, and a delight to the eye. Guests loved the appetizers that were passed: shrimp wrapped in basil and pancetta, mushrooms with escargot, parmesan crusted artichoke hearts. The stationary display had a choice assortment of cheeses and a selection of cold seafood that included jumbo shrimp, smoked salmon, ahi poke, and a sashimi platter all beautifully presented. Suffice it to say the buffet was equally spectacular. Chef Billy takes pride in the quality of the products he sources. The filet mignon for example was gorgeous. The shrimp served in the seafood display were so tasty that they made you stop and take notice. This was a once in a lifetime kind of party for us so we pulled out the stops when we were choosing items for the menu. It's very much to Billy and Sierra's credit that part of their response was to say that and they would be happy to offer some more budget friendly variations. We appreciated their inclination to work with clients to find good solutions to their needs. We enjoyed meeting with Chef Billy one time early in the planning process, but other than that, all the planning and coordination was handled by Sierra. She is fantastic and a pleasure to work with. She gave us recommendations on the initial approach to the menu, on down to details like the serving schedule, linens, and the table floor plan. We communicated mostly through email which was very productive because her emails, besides being congenial, were always clear and complete. And it was amazing how quickly she would reply, usually the same day. When it came to the final week before the party and it was time to summarize all the various emails and discussions Sierra nailed it, she recapped everything perfectly. The Four Seasons staff were wonderful. During the set up time they operated like clockwork. During the party they could not have been more charming and gracious. This is another major point to Billy and Sierra's credit. It takes care and effort to assemble a team of this quality--a group of individuals who interface harmoniously not only with the guests, but with each other, and with other vendors such as the florist. The whole event flowed thanks to the staff. When you are planning a special event you hope to create a joyful and memorable experience for all your guests. Four Seasons is a caterer with an amazing combination of culinary artistry and service craft. Choose Four Seasons as your caterer and you can't go wrong.

WOW!!!! Continental catering was so amazing…read more We used Continental Catering for the welcome dinner for our wedding weekend, and asked them for an Indian "street food". They were SO kind and accommodating, and brought us in for TWO full tastings (with guests!) to perfect the menu. The chefs were so sweet, and also really humble with the less familiar cuisine, actually asking my grandma for her thoughts and taking such detailed notes on what we wanted. Also, we got the most amazing s'mores dessert, which was a huge hit with our guests. We also subcontracted several other things through Continental, like tables, chairs, lighting, and AV. This was honestly extremely convenient, and was so nice to not have to juggle so many vendors. Their communication was incredible, the food was great, and just an 11/10 team. So glad we chose Continental for our event!

But this review is for the pre-contract customer service, which is far and away the best we got from any other caterer I contacted! Samantha Reilly responded to our online request almost immediately, quickly came up with an amazing proposal, and endured several rounds of emails and phone calls as we looked for every little way to bring down the total costs. She was completely understanding of our budget concerns, didn't shame us at all for exploring even the craziest options (like providing our own ice, disposable dishes, and rental equipment!!); every time I called her, she remembered exactly who I was and always followed up quickly. I should also say that although costs were the reason we had to go with another company, Carriage Trade offers completely reasonable prices for their services. The only way the other company was able to lowball them was because they're an industrial-sized place that owns their own rental equipment (a big deal at our reception venue, which doesn't even provide tables and chairs!) If only I had another thousand dollars at my disposal, I would have readily opted for the personalized service of a smaller company like Carriage Trade. In short: call them up, ask for Samantha, and see what they can do for you!

I was so grateful because it was a long day and it was nice to have left overs for my family. They even packed a special plate and told my mother in law to give it to us before we left. I hadn't ate since lunch so it was nice to have something to warm up at the hotel. I was impressed with how prepared and organized they were. It was very authentic Mexican food. I would recommend them to anyone or use them again for any kind of event. Thank you Ruben and Tia.
