About Just a Bite

As the name suggests, my focus is on the small bites concept. I do not typically offer full entrees, but since I customize menus often, I am able to sometimes accommodate my clients' requests. I also offer Pasta Bar and Taco Bar options, as well as salads and mini desserts. This enables me to keep my menus fresh, be very open and flexible to my clients' ideas and needs, and give personalized service. We do not provide on-site omelette stations, carving stations, or grilling services. I am the sole chef and owner and do not employ additional chefs for those services. I am passionate about food and people. This business enables me to share my food with some wonderful clients, their families, and guests. Their feedback is always invaluable and I am always grateful for being welcomed into their homes and kitchens, and being a part of their special occasions.

Loretta crafted an exceptional menu for my daughter’s bridal shower, perfectly aligning with our unique theme, ‘A Little Dumpling is on the Way.’ She delighted our guests with four delicious varieties of potstickers, refreshing cold noodles served in charming takeout boxes, and a flavorful Asian Chicken Salad topped with crispy wontons. The setup was flawless, featuring stereo burners that kept everything running smoothly. Loretta’s attention to detail and creativity made the event truly special. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a talented and reliable caterer!

Amazing fresh food and great service. She catered a party of 85 people, plenty of food and made it seem effortless. Highly recommend Just A Bite.

Great experience with Just a Bite. Loretta was professional, responsive, and the food was awesome. All my guests (about 40) loved everything.

10/10 Experience! Just a Bite catered tea sandwiches, some salads and fruit for my bridal shower and everyone was raving about the food! Loretta was very responsive, provided several menus to pick from, and offered customizations. She was very flexible with time and delivered everything on time with great packaging and set up. I could not recommend enough and hope to have another event she can cater!

Loretta was very nice to work with. I hired her service for my 40th birthday party and was thorough happy with the entire process. She’s very responsive to my questions. We worked together to determine the menu and how much food I need for my event. On the day of the event, she and her staff arrived on time, food was beautiful and delicious. I also used her wait staffs for an 8 hours event and they kept everything super organized and cleaned, foods were always full. I couldn’t be happier.

I had Loretta cater my 1st grandchild's baby shower. I was so nervous because I've always cooked myself and was worried there wouldn't be enough food. Well I was wrong. Loretta did a wonderful job not only in quality of food but her presentation. She is very easy to work with and very accommodating. I definitely will be using her again.

Loretta was amazing to work with from the get go! She responded immediately with a great menu full of various options and prices. And was just as responsive after I contracted her. She arrived on time and set up a beautiful table. The food was amazing! Even our “foodie” guests were very impressed with the quality and taste of everything!! Thank you very much, Loretta!

Loretta was a pleasure to work with. From initial contact through our entire event. She is a true professional, friendly, responsive. She helped coordinate table rentals for us and brought everything needed for hosting a fabulous event. She and her servers took care to make our space look wonderful with their food displays and table setups. All the food items were classy and delicious, and Loretta provided excellent recommendations in selecting from her menu. I would STRONGLY recommend her services and would absolutely hire her again for a future event. Thanks, Loretta!

Overall, I was very pleased with everything. Food was good, display was good and had a good experience working with Loretta. I wanted white servewear instead of clear and she was able to accommodate. I would say that the food dishes were much better than the dessert (cupcakes). Some of the bites were also smaller than I expected. That said, no complaints...would use Loretta again in the future!
