Chef Pete is the best! He catered a party for 50 senior executives and they raved about the food. His staff was amazing. And the bartenders made the most delicious cocktails !! Highly recommend.

Very easy to work with, great service from waitress and chef. It was probably my fault, but the food was 4* as it was somewhat average (preparation was perfect). I will definitely use Peter again but invest more time on the menu.

Hired Chef Pete's team for my dad's surprise birthday dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone loved it!! It was the best experience not having to worry about anything during the evening. They brought their own dishes, serve ware and glassware that made it so easy. Will definitely be hiring his team again for a future event!

Chef Pete cooked the most delicious food of any caterer we've ever had. He prepared a traditional southern style meal that blew everyone's socks off. He arrived on time, cooked in my kitchen and whisked all the dirty dishes away at the end.

Chef Pete made my mom's 89th birthday spectacular! His crew created upscale and decorative displays of drink and food that paralleled Pete's culinary expertise. We were all so impressed by the local fish that he waited for that morning and brought to our party from Bodega Bay. He sourced beautiful and vibrant produce. I wasn't so organized, but Pete rolled with it, and accommodated last minute menu changes. Our friends and family raved about his food, and my fear of not enough food was quieted by his careful planning. He's the real deal trained chef - not someone who cooks for a weekend hobby. As he was the prior banquet chef for Meadowood Resort, he easily and masterfully handled our group of 55. He even provided individual serving tongs for each guest going thru the buffet line. Truly impressive and well thought. Thanks Chef Pete for creating such a memorable event for us.

Details: Birthday or anniversary party • Lunch • American - casual • Buffet • Yes, full service • Outdoor venue • Yes, full kitchen • 50 - 59 guests • Premium (high end ingredients)
