Just wanted to let you know how very pleased we were with the crew here yesterday - they worked hard and cheerfully, did their work well, were professional, and left our home tidy and clean. They were great. And, as always, the food was delicious, was presented so attractively, and was really enjoyed by us and our guests.

Many thanks, Janet K.

I want to thank all of you and in particular, Lara and Ed for the absolutely wonderful job you did for our son’s Bar Mitzvah. As you know, we came to you somewhat late in the planning stages due to our negative experience with another caterer. Your team made us feel as though our business was important and we were well cared for. When I called, whomever I spoke to seemed to know me and be able to help with any questions I may have had.

Lara did a great job helping me plan the evening and execute our car theme dream, linens and all. She listened to me, offered suggestions and was a pleasure to work with.

When we came in for a tasting, both Lara and Ed always made us feel like we were the most important things in their busy day. During our tasting, Ed took the time to talk with us, explaining what we were tasting and getting our feedback. During our party, he and his staff provided us and our guests with delicious and beautifully displayed food. Both he and Lara took time out of their personal schedules to be at the event early in the evening to make sure everything was going well. That is dedication!

Everyone had a great time and our appreciation goes out to all for doing such a fantastic job.

We look forward to using you in the future and continuing to recommend you to our friends for their upcoming events.

With warmest regards, Lisa F.

I just wanted to let you know how well the wedding went. Although the weather was cool at the ceremony sites, all the guests were welcomed warmly at the reception by your staff with delicious hot hors d’oeuvres and beverages. During the buffet and afterward, all I heard was how wonderful the food was. The beef was cooked to perfection, the béarnaise sauce was delicious and the roasted vegetables were the best ever. Your staff handled everything very well (even though the proper tables were not set up for them). Everyone was well fed and attended to and all I heard from my guests was how nice the catering staff was.

From the first day I met you, things started off smoothly and they remained that way throughout the event. I want to thank you so much for being so easy to work with and for providing delicious and wonderful catering from my son’s wedding. I hope I have occasion to use Delicious Catering. Please feel free to use me for a reference.

I’m a little late getting this to you, but my tardiness in no way indicates anything but complete satisfaction with how things went at our surprise party. Everything was perfect! It could not have been a better party or a happier event. I have gotten so many compliments about the evening, and the food is something everyone mentions – it was delicious, perfectly prepared & presented. You and your staff helped make this the best birthday ever and you made my part seem effortless. Thank you for your patience and reassurance and guidance through all the details. Your staff is just the best to work with, utterly professional and still so warm, personable & charming. I would recommend you and your team anytime – and have.

I cannot thank you enough for the outstanding job you and the Delicious crew did at our wedding and rehearsal dinner. I was impressed by your attention to detail and forethought. Equally important, every person from Delicious with whom I interacted was professional, helpful and kind. Please tell Ed and the kitchen crew that the food was delicious. I also appreciated the helpfulness of your waitstaff/servers.

Happily and gratefully yours, Alisa R.

I am just coming up for air after the wedding, and my first gasp is a huge thank you to you and all your staff who helped to make that day so very memorable. We cannot say enough good things about you and your food which was, indeed, delicious. Among our friends are many who attend a lot of public events and private dinners, and the single remark they made was this was absolutely the best food they’d ever had at a wedding, bar mitzvah or anniversary party. So I made sure they knew Delicious was responsible.

Turning tables and setting the arrangements out, then serving everything so seemingly easily and graciously, was quite wonderful. And it isn’t euphoria that makes me say that: I too have attended many weddings or similar celebrations where things go well, but the smooth flow is what I am praising just now. You dealt with everything with great competence and calm. Calm was perhaps the major ingredient we needed before the walk down the aisle.

So a huge thank you and a thank you as well for the food for the evening supper at my house after the wedding. Just perfect.

Warm regards, Margaret K.

I was more than pleased; the staff was exceptional, and my guests all commented as well on their professionalism. They were so quiet and composed, and know exactly where to be at the correct moment. They were amazing, and I can’t wait for another opportunity to have them at my home. I will strongly recommend Delicious to anyone needing catering. In fact, one of my friends wants to know if you go to Napa! Also, another guest who uses another caterer commented on how terrific Delicious is, and how
fantastic the food was.

Thank you so much!!!!

Wow!  As a professional party and event planner with an obsession about detail and a demand for perfect food, Delicious! Inc. is my first choice for catering.

For my own daughter’s Bat Mitzvah celebrations, you provided a wonderful Kiddush lunch of delectable and plentiful food, beautifully displayed and constantly tended by professional and courteous staff.  Your ability to gracefully manage the flow of large crowds is amazing!

You went right from the Kiddush lunch to preparing for our dinner celebration.  The set-up again was beautiful - both elegant and inviting. Your staff really pitches in and does what it takes to cheerfully get a party set up.  Most wonderful was the food, (an innovative menu with a Moroccan flair).  Guests were literally raving that this was the best food that they had ever had at any large celebration - in fact, as some said, it was the best they had!

I cannot thank you enough for all of the personal attention I received in planning our parties, for the true joy of working with you and your professional and friendly staff, for Ed Schreiber’s incredible talents as your head chef, for the fabulous food and beautiful presentation.

There is no question in my mind that Delicious! Inc. is my top recommendation for any catered event.  I look forward to working together - your food and service and my decorating, what a combination!

Sincerely, Aliza M.

Dear Jan & the staff at Delicious,
I just wanted to tell you how delighted I was with the food and the service at our last event catered by you. We have always loved your food, and continue to use your catering service, but this time I was very busy with our third daughter’s wedding plans, and really didn’t have the time to focus on our Friday night Shabbat dinner with our new “in-laws”. I knew that by hiring you, I would not have to worry about a thing – and I was absolutely right. The evening went very smoothly, the food was delicious, and the staff exceptionally capable and efficient. Thank you for being consistently superior from the pl anning process through to the clean up. I look forward to many more events together!

You are simply the BEST! Ed’s food is always superb and beautifully presented. I cannot compliment you enough on what an increcible staff you have. From the advance planning in the office with you, Ed and "the girls" to the staff at the party – you are PRO’S extraordinaire. The event staff created ways to make the party its very best… and to keep me happy and calm in the process.

**************************
Nov 2002 – a really LONG one…

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the services that Delicious! Catering provided at our wedding celebration at Vorpal Gallery in San Francisco. Delicious! played an integral role in the success of our event. You and your team – led by T’sa (Teresa) the General Manager, Ed the Executive Chef, and Debbie the Banquet Captain – were amazing! It all started from the first time we inquired about your services.

When we initially considered wedding caterers, we asked you and five other local vendors to give us a sample food station-type of menu. Unlike the other caterers, Delicious! presented us with a creative menu containing diverse cuisines. Food was one of the most important aspects in our wedding planning, and our instincts told us that Delicious! was the caterer for our big day.

From our first meeting and tasting, you were always willing to listen to our ideas, think outside the box, and work within our means. We were impressed by the food we tasted, yet when we wanted to tweak our menu even a little, you and Ed never hesitated to suggest alternatives and invite us back to taste something different. We truly feel it was a collaborative effort all around.

As you may recall, our ceremony and reception seating arrangements were a bit non-traditional. Again, you and T’sa came through for us by creating a unique floor plan (which included getting down on your hands and knees with a measuring tape!) that involved traditional banquet rounds and chairs as well as barstools, kiosk tables, cabaret tables, a riser (for our "altar"), and stanchions. We loved the setup; it created the ideal ambiance that we had hoped for.

On our wedding day, we could not have asked for a more professional and competent team to lead The Show. Your professionalism, flexibility, and superior talents really shined as the evening transpired. The Delicious! team was quick, efficient, creative, and thoughtful. From ensuring that our event met fire code, to re-designing our centerpieces at the last minute, to re-setting the ceremony room into our reception room very quickly, to making ice cream cookie sandwiches for us, we could not have been happier and more pleased with your staff and the services they provided.
One of the most vivid memories we have of our wedding is when we first arrived at our wedding site, shortly before our wedding ceremony. It was incredible to see our event come to fruition after all the thought and planning that we ALL put into it. The Delicious! team was instrumental in making it happen.

Many of our 165 guests commented on how delicious the food was, from the appetizers to food stations to ice cream toppings! A funny aside: after our wedding, one friend claimed that he did not see the naan at the Indian food station, yet we later saw a photo that shows him reaching for seconds of naan (verified by his fiancée)! One relative apparently went back for the Korean beef four times!
If you ever need a reference, please feel free to provide our names and contact information. We will tell them -- as we have told many people since our wedding -- what a fantastic, professional organization that Delicious! Catering is. It was truly our pleasure to work with you, and we would not hesitate to think of you the next time we host a catered affair.
Best regards, Teri & Jeff W.
