Dawn B. says, “Chef Trang and her 2 assistants outdid themselves catering our daughter’s wedding at an AirBnB house in Mendocino! Before the big day Chef Trang communicated with our daughter so they both were on the same page of what to prepare. Chef had great ideas and my daughter felt confident in her choices. The day arrived and Chef Trang did not disappoint!!! Appetizers, first course, second course, and dessert were prepared and presented artfully. Each course was delicious! Not only did Chef Trang wow us with her scrumptious food, but she was also very personable . Her assistants were delightful as well. We were happily amazed how Chef Trang cleaned up the kitchen (spotless!) and started the dishwasher for us. If you are looking for someone to cater a delectable meal and dessert, look no further… Chef Trang will deliver! Thank you Chef! Mike & Dawn”

Angel K. says, “I never actually booked Yours Truly Catering, but I initially spoke with Amanda and she was very responsive and wrote us an amazing menu. We decided to go with a different catering company, only because the bride and groom wanted a bartender as well, but we would have chosen Amanda otherwise. She was very kind and accommodating, and knew which questions to ask to come up with a good plan”

Jill N. says, “EXCELLENT CATERING SERVICE We hired The Spice Table Catering Company for a very special occasion—the 60th Anniversary celebration of the Mountain View Tennis Club—and had an excellent experience from start to finish. This husband-and-wife chef team was professional, responsive, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. From our very first inquiry, Mo was incredibly responsive to all of our questions. When we were developing the menu, they were more than willing to go “off script” and accommodate our requests. They even graciously agreed to do a tasting menu for us, which went far beyond our expectations and gave us great confidence in our choices for the event. On the day of our event, everything was beautifully executed. They arrived on time, were professionally dressed, and handled the setup seamlessly. The food was excellent—fresh, well-prepared, flavorful, and generously portioned. The presentation was especially lovely, with chafing dishes and tables accented with subtle floral arrangements. We had hired them to handle the setup and serve the hot appetizers. Still, they went above and beyond by unexpectedly offering to serve the dessert as well, even though another vendor had provided the dessert. That extra touch was greatly appreciated. We received many compliments from our guests about the food, and we were very happy with the overall quality and professionalism of the service. The Spice Catering Company clearly takes pride in what they do, and it showed throughout the entire experience. One quick booking tip: Be sure to double-check the meal count before signing your contract. You will have to pay for that minimum number of plates, even if fewer guests show up. Naturally, if your final headcount goes up, your bill will increase too. It is always a good idea to clarify this with the caterer upfront so there are no surprises later! Overall, we would definitely recommend The Spice Table Catering Company and would be happy to use them again.”
