I had the pleasure of hiring Pacific Modern Catering Co. for my dad's 60th birthday celebration, and I cannot express how delighted we were with the entire experience. From the initial inquiry to the final bite of dessert, the service provided by Brittany was nothing short of exceptional. First and foremost, the communication with Brittany was impeccable. She was polite, prompt with responses, and demonstrated a genuine interest in tailoring the menu to suit our preferences. It was evident from the beginning that she was committed to creating a memorable dining experience for my dad's milestone celebration. Now, let's talk about the food. The four-course meal surpassed all expectations and left our taste buds dancing with delight. The house-made levain bread was a delightful start, setting the tone for what turned out to be a culinary journey. The gem lettuce salad with winter citrus, almonds, and avocado was a refreshing and harmonious blend of flavors, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and commitment to using high-quality ingredients. In addition to her culinary prowess, Brittany's professionalism and attention to detail were noteworthy. She ensured a seamless dining experience, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration without any concerns. My dad, who is not easily impressed, declared it "his best birthday ever," and that speaks volumes about the quality of the Brittany's work. If you're seeking a culinary experience that combines expertise, professionalism, and a touch of magic, look no further. Our heartfelt thanks to Brittany for making my dad's 60th birthday an unforgettable occasion. We wholeheartedly give her a five-star rating and recommend her services without hesitation.

I booked Pacific Modern Catering for a surprise dinner for my wife’s birthday. First of all, she was so accommodating and helpful from the planning process to the last course. She is so knowledgeable and professional. She absolutely made my wife’s birthday spectacular. The food was next level, she was able to cook at an Airbnb we were at and it was outstanding. She accommodates dietary restrictions and preferences. Fresh baked bread, coconut shrimp, puree potatoes, veggies and a wonderful dessert with caramel sauce! She made great recommendations and contributed to a cool vibe. I would recommend Pacific Modern Catering to anyone. I guarantee you will enjoy the meal and overall presentation. My wife is still bragging on the entire night. Blessings to this awesome business. Five stars plus!!!!!!!!!

Pacific Modern Catering Co.'s reply

Thank you, Eric! It was my pleasure to help you celebrate your wife and be a part of something to make her feel special. I enjoyed cooking for you two and hope to do so again in the future. As requested, below is the vegan caramel sauce I made for your dessert. Best wishes to you and Tasha! FOR THE CARAMEL SAUCE: 1/2 cup pure maple syrup 1/4 cup coconut sugar 3/4 cup canned full-fat coconut milk In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the maple syrup, coconut sugar, and coconut milk to a boil over medium heat. As soon as the mixture boils, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring frequently, until a candy thermometer reaches 234*F. Pour the sauce into a glass liquid measuring cup and set aside to cool slightly.

Pacific Modern Catering Co. truly exceeded my expectations when I hired them to cater for my birthday party. From start to finish, Brittany, the owner, demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and attention to detail. One of the standout features of working with Pacific Modern Catering Co. Was Brittany's promptness and responsiveness. She was always available to discuss menu options and any special requests I had. What truly impressed me was her ability to tailor a menu specifically to my likes and preferences. It felt like a personalized dining experience right in my own home. How was the food? It was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was expertly prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. It's rare to find catering that delivers restaurant-quality cuisine, but Pacific Modern Catering Co. certainly achieved that and more. One of the highlights of the night was when Brittany shared one of her own recipes with me, as I couldn't get enough of it. It was a gesture that truly showcased her passion for her craft and dedication to ensuring her clients have an unforgettable experience. Overall, I sincerely recommend Pacific Modern Catering Co. to anyone looking to elevate their event with exceptional food and service. Brittany's professionalism, culinary expertise, and personal touch make her the ideal choice for bringing a restaurant experience right to your doorstep.

Pacific Modern Catering Company absolutely stole the show at our Galentine's Day celebration, and I couldn't be happier with their exceptional service and delectable offerings. Brittany, the talented owner, transformed our event into an unforgettable experience with her stunning table scape featuring an array of mouthwatering appetizers, refreshing mocktails, and irresistible desserts. It was like stepping into culinary heaven, and every detail was meticulously thought out to perfection. One of the standout features of Pacific Modern Catering Company was their ability to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising on flavor and presentation. Brittany went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt included and catered to, which truly added a personal touch to the experience. The freshness and seasonality of the salad were a testament to Brittany's commitment to using high-quality ingredients, and it served as the perfect palate cleanser amidst the indulgent spread of treats. But perhaps the most memorable aspect of the evening was the gorgeous mocktails that Brittany concocted. They not only added a touch of sophistication to the party, but also allowed guests to customize their drinks, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the celebration. Without a doubt, Pacific Modern Catering Co. elevated our Galentine's Day gathering to new heights, and the unanimous praise from all the ladies in attendance is a testament to their exceptional talent and dedication. I would recommend them for all of your catering needs, as they truly exceeded all expectations and made our event truly unforgettable.
