Sheldon was fabulous to work with, coming up with a great menu out of the box. Some of our guests have celiac, and others are lactose-intolerant; all food was perfectly labeled so these people felt safe eating it. Many guests approached me to rave about the food afterwards, and this is a foodie crowd. Even the recommended beer and wines were just right. They set up the area perfectly, and the staff, overseen by the attentive and sensitive Roma, and were able to accommodate a few last-minute requests (e.g., an electrical outlet and extension cord; rearranging chairs to be out of the sun; extensive speeches that could have eaten into food time). We had a number of updates to our requests as close-in as days before the event, and all were accommodated with a smile. I add that I set this whole thing up from FL and CT, never setting foot on the property before the event. And all went off without a hitch. I recommend Melon's wholeheartedly!

I cannot recommend Melons enough, especially to people who need to serve a variety of food from…read moredifferent cuisines. My husband is half-Greek and half Indian; and I am Chinese. We wanted food at our wedding that reflected our cultures (and our favorite foods). We received catering contracts from several caterers, but Melon's was the only one where we really felt like they had worked with our ideas. Chef Stephen told me at the first call outright that he couldn't do "the most authentic", but he could make delicious food. He was right -- and all my guests (most of whom dislike fusion) were super pleased. People literally raved to me first about the food of all the things about my wedding, especially the red-cooked duck leg and the baklava. 2022 was a crazy year for weddings, and Melons was super busy and a bit slow in responding through the first half of that until the summer. So just be aware of that when you work with this vendor. We booked them without a tasting and pleased at our tasting to discover that we had chosen well. (And were again very pleased at our wedding when the food was exactly as it was at the tasting, except they had taken into account our feedback as well so it was even better!) Finally, the servers were all kind and so courteous and happy for us on the day of. The only sad thing is that I can't eat my wedding food again, to be honest.

If I could give Love and Smoke BBQ 10 stars I would. From inquiry to execution, Mark and his team…read morewere thorough, communicative, and kind to work with. We opted for Love and Smoke to cater our wedding anniversary. On the day of the event, they arrived with ample time to setup and paced the service in an efficient way that kept the food fresh and our guests happy. We opted for the links, brisket, ribs as our meats. You really can't go wrong with any of these. Tender, juicy, smokey, and fresh. The sides were also a great compliment to the meats. The chipotle coleslaw was a fan favorite. I thought Mark's carving service was a great way to elevate the experience and I liked that he asked each guest which part of the brisket they preferred. Through the night and days later, we continued to receive positive feedback on the food. We will definitely be using Love and Smoke for future parties. If you're thinking of having BBQ for your event, Love and Smoke is the way to go!!

Communication leading up to the event was consistent and clear and everything was outlined so we knew exactly what to expect. On the day of the event, Mark and Kathy arrived early with plenty of time for a smooth and professional setup. Kathy's setup with the plates and utensil and vegetarian corner were so well thought out! They came fully prepared and ready to serve some delicious bbq. We catered for around 60 people and selected the brisket, pork baby back ribs, alongside coleslaw, potato salad, and green salad. For our vegetarian colleagues, we selected the black bean burgers, which were a thoughtful and flavorful touch. A standout highlight was the brisket carving station, which was a total crowd pleaser. Mark's meticulous attention to detail and dedication to his craft really stood out. He refuses to compromise on quality by pre slicing brisket into trays. Instead, he carved it fresh on site and the taste speaks for itself. We received an overwhelmingly positive response from the entire team- both meat lovers and veggie eaters alike. From the service to the setup to the food itself, Love & Smoke exceed expectations. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

We submitted a catering quote request, and to our surprise, Richard called to discuss it. Unfortunately, the call was not the kind of interaction you'd hope for when trying to plan an event. It left us wondering--why is Richard the one calling back customers instead of Minh? I'm writing this in the hopes that Minh will reach out to me directly with a contact number so we can move forward and work with Aloha Catering. Otherwise, we'll need to start exploring other catering options. I will update this review once I hear back from Minh.

All the food was absolutely delicious and they had such a great choice of vegetarian options. I would recommend everything I ordered, and I want to try more of their offerings in the future. I really appreciated my communication with Mary, who worked with me to suggest options in my budget and also was flexible as our event date changed. The ordering process was done via email. Once I placed my order, I actually picked it up from the store across the street, Woori Market, since I had an evening event. They provided plates, utensils, and labels for the food as well. It all went smoothly and I'm very happy with how everything turned out!

It's no wonder they are frequently booked out :) Definitely inquire ahead of time, especially for large orders. Highly recommend, thank you so much!

Safia was quick to respond, provided a menu that was well thought out and incorporated our requirements, and extremely professional. Her staff was efficient and friendly as well. That aside, the food was the hit of the party, even the picky eaters (including children) loved it. Garlic noodles, shrimp, masubi, egg rolls, all of it. Even my Vietnamese dad who forgot his dentures loved the Viet salad goi because he was able to chew it lol. Which is a huge compliment because he never says anything positive. Portion size was generous for a 50 person party and delivery was smooth like butter. Wish I had business cards because everyone asked for contact info. Absolutely will be using Mai's Catering for future parties!!! Can't recommend highly enough.

I picked up the tray from San Bruno Market in the Portola District of SF (thank goodness for the parking lot!!). Easy pick-up from a friendly store owner/manager(?). The food is still as good as before. I ordered extra Spam and egg onigiri, but some only came with Spam and no egg; still good, but not *quite* as good!! She also substituted a couple of onigiri for the eggrolls that we don't usually eat, so that's a plus! The tray's presentation was, again, excellent. Garlic noodles were delicious, beef and chicken skewers tender and delectable, cha trung (?) very flavorful, and empanadas yummy! Two of the onigiri are enough for a light lunch, but I tend to eat more than that just because it's so good!!

Wow... Hosted an…read moreevent with about ~115 people. While I was unfamiliar with ordering food for a large number of people, Priscilla helped recommend the amount of food for the requirements, "I don't want to run out of food during the event" and "we love desserts". Another side note: I was catering snacks rather than a meal. I ended up ordering - tri-tip - mashed potatoes - roasted veggies - assorted bread - lemon garlic salmon - veggie garlic pasta - Greek salad - dinner rolls - fresh fruit display - fresh fruit tarts - petit fours - gluten free mini cupcakes: red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, lemon I appreciate that Priscilla suggested to halve the salmon fillets to have double the number of salmon pieces for guests to have snack portions rather than meal portions. Although mini cupcakes were not listed on her menu, she was able to provide them. Also, you can ask her about gluten free desserts. You can have more than just macarons. Compliments I received... "Did you make the food? The salmon and tri-tip were so juicy." "This is better than most wedding food." 2 people inquired who I used to cater for the event. I received general praise that the food was good. I received explicit praise that the petit fours and fruit tarts were good. The mashed potatoes were thick but good. Passion for catering's setup and tear down went smoothly. It was maybe 20-30 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of tear down. I appreciate that they were able to provide decor for the food tables. They also provided some takeout containers for us to take leftover food. 10/10 would cater from them again.

The tofu noodles option had just the right spice kick to it and the sweet potatoes with kale flakes on them was a great side compliment. The chicken artichoke provolone sandwich was HUGE (took half home for dinner), had just the right amount of sun dried tomatoes and zucchini in it, and the orzo salad had just the right amount of lemon zest to it as a perfect side.
