Our daughter was married three weeks ago at beautiful Villa Montalvo in Saratoga. I was in search of a caterer that would be able to compliment the setting. I was introduced to Catered Too and from day 1 my experience with them has been overwhelmingly positive, expected and more important satisfied. From our first meeting with Teri Schenkel, Head[LC1] of Sales, it was easy, she listened and delivered. Teri was responsive with every question and inquiry that I could possibly think of and put me at ease. From the menu selection to the venue floorplan Teri was instrumental with making our daughter's wedding SPECIAL.With so many menu items to choose from Teri helped to narrow our selection which ended up with a raw bar during the social hour and dinner reception at our home. We all had the chance to taste our menu choices and it was beyond what we expected.RAW BAR:· Hog Island oysters· Shrimp cocktail· Green Lipped Mussels· Ora King Salmon Tataki [my favorite]· Crab Dip [my favorite]· Ahi Shoyu Poke· Yellow Tail [my favorite]· Vegetarian BibimbapThe food extravaganza continued at our home with wandering stations thoughtfully staged that included:· Antipasto· Miso Glazed Vegetables· Grilled Herb Lamp Chops [my favorite, guest favorite]· Truffle Mac and Cheese [guest favorite]· Petite Dessert Display [everyone's favorite!]· Expresso Bar [you've got to try this!!! My favorite]Eric Barnachea, owner of Catered Too, was able to create the menu we dreamed off. The day and evening went off flawless and the staff was professional and efficient. I'd like to thank Eric, Teri, Karen, Manny and the entire staff at Catered Too for their tireless effort and patience. Catered Too will always by my choice of catering and I sincerely hope that you will consider them. Catered Too truly made our daughter's wedding a memorable one!! More...

Our private dinner party was INCREDIBLE. Huge thank you to Susan and the Catered Too team for helping us create an amazing space and environment for our event. The hosts, our team, and every single guest really enjoyed themselves. The details were seamless, and food and drinks delicious! All of their preparation and attention to detail allowed our staff to really be present in the moment, and the entire evening built unity and excitement about our upcoming trip together--exactly our goal. Plus, Susan was so easy to work with.  We can't thank Susan and her team enough. We are so grateful to have partnered with Catered Too on this event. We are looking forward to working with them again! #thecateredtoolife More...

I recently had the pleasure of working with Teri on a lunch reception that took place after a golf tournament. She was quick to respond and very accommodating to our needs. I just told her what we needed and she took care of all the planning with the venue, it was great. The on-site staff was also wonderful. They knew exactly where things were going and did not need any direction from my team. They provided boxed lunches that came in an insulated bag with and printed menu that included the name of our event. The food was delicious and all our guests raved about it. We can't wait to work with Teri and her team again next year. More...

She was able to accommodate our group and give us a variety of Fresh Catch Salmon with Chimichurri sauce and Garlic Roasted Shrimp  with veggies as well as Grilled Flat iron Steak with chimichurri sauce as another option for the meat eaters.

The non-profit I work for contacted this company in early 2020 for our annual Gala. They came up with a lovely, INNOVATIVE, and themed menu for us - it was perfect! And then the world turned upside down. After a few months, we were able to plan one of the first Drive-Thru Galas and fundraisers in the area. Catered, Too rethought our entire menu, worked with us to make sure that we could deliver meals in a safe (albeit, unconventional) way, and were literally a phone call away at all times (thank you, Teri!!!!) as we navigated these unchartered waters together. Beyond their IMMENSE flexibility, with last-minute twists and turns (did I mention this event also fell in the first days of the Santa Cruz Mountain Wildfires?) and increases in guest count and so much more, the food was amazing! Even as a to-go option! It was packaged beautifully and thoughtfully and was one of the highlights of our event. Lots of thought and extra care and finishing touches were added to help us make our event feel special. We will certainly be contacting Catered, Too for our next event (which will hopefully look a lot more normal!!) Thank you Catered, Too and Teri! More...

Catered Too! was very flexible with us as we had to change our 2nd annual concert fundraiser from June to October, 2020 due to the pandemic. By mid-summer we had to pivot from an in-person fundraiser to a virtual event. Terri worked with us and came up with great ideas and options  to deliver a "Party in Place" to our Sponsors and VIP's to enjoy from the comfort and safety of their homes while they watched (and donated) to our event. Once the menu was decided Terri had Karen work with us on all of the database and delivery logistics. Our VIP's had nothing but praise about the food delivered the day of the event. Thank you Terri, Karen, and the Catered Too! staff for contributing to the success of our fundraiser. More...

I recently had the pleasure of working with Teri on a wedding that we had been planning for a client of ours for a while now. ....then COVID hit and we had to adjust plans. We had to change the location, style and guest count of the wedding and she was more than happy to roll with all of the changes and came up with many many great solutions. It is always great to work with someone who has so much knowledge, not only on food and catering but events and flow! When it came to the day of the wedding I was blown away with all of the precautions that were taken by the Catered Too staff. Everyone had many sets of gloves (for changing out when needed) mask and shields and they even brought their own washing stations to the site!Teri came up with the best solution for the appetizers during the short cocktail reception-everything was individually boxed and each guest were handed their own trio of the delicious apps. This style of service took so much more detail, time and work but everyone on their team was happy to do so.Catered Too is always my go to when it comes to catering because their food and service is like no other!

My office has been working with Susan Arrighi with Catered Too! since June. We have been getting our month end lunches catered from the company as they deliver and the food is always outstanding. I work for Stevens Creek Toyota and they are willing to drive from Palo Alto for a small fee and the food is always served warm and fresh like it just got out of the kitchen. Not only is the delivery a plus, they come up with menus to customize to our preference as well as accommodating to our specialty meals including allergies and pescatarian friendly options. We've have a wide variety from their BBQ, to Asian Fusion, Walnut Shrimp, green chicken curry, tritip to their Turkey Holiday meals. Our meals are always served with a drink and a homemade dessert. Catered Too! Never disappoints, always served warm, food is fresh, convenient and delivery is always on time. Susan is easy to communicate with and responds quickly.

I love Susan Arrghi who I was referred to her by a very dear vendor partner when I was planning a West Coast Sales Retreat for my Corporate office.  Susan was so helpful and courteous during the entire process.  Of course I was trying to impress my team with the food and Susan and the Chef came through!  The food was on time, gourmet, warm and delicious!! She came through with flying colors on both days! I recently used her again for a Client Lunch Presentation last week.  This time it was more casual but still gourmet and the Sandwiches and salads were fresh and creative.  She even had 2 types of homemade lemonade! I have already scheduled Catered Too! for my next presentation in December.  If you are looking for a reliable, professional, delicious and knock out food caterer go no further!  Susan and Team is who you want ... trust me on this!

This review is in regard to the Redwood Cafe at Avenidas in Palo Alto and refers strictly to the menu presented.  I have yet to be able to eat there. Do you know how many seniors have a problem with eating onions?  I'm thinking not because onions feature in almost every sandwich.  There appears to be no gluten free choice of bread any longer, indeed, for anyone who has digestive issues (and let's remember it is a senior center) it is difficult to find anything suitable to eat. For some people, sourdough bread counts as gluten free.Do you ever have goat cheese as a choice?  What about lactose free yoghurt/milk?  I could go on.Also, are the sandwiches made onsite or brought to Avenidas already made.  Merely removing onions from a sandwich does not make it onion free.Some fresh ideas would be appreciated More...

Wow. My list of great things to say goes on and on for Teri and the team at Catered Too. Teri took a lot of time to answer many many questions regarding layout and time frame for our wedding and she was incredibly thorough and helpful. We were planning a wedding from out of state and weren't able to taste the food before hand, but that was not an issue- EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING- I mean it, absolutely delicious. It's a shame I was in a tight wedding gown I didn't get to eat more..but they did send us home with a large tray of leftovers ;)<br><br>Another thing-24 hours before the start of our wedding we were shockingly told by our venue that we would not be able to hold our reception there. I called Teri and although surprised she did not skip a beat. They were able to show up the next morning at a surprise venue they had never been to before (and neither had we) and created a perfect wedding dinner, bar and wonderful service.  They do it all. You don't have to worry about a thing if your wedding is being catered by Catered Too.  We appreciate them tremendously and give a very high recommendation. More...

Teri got us through our wedding day like a true pro. From the very beginning she was attentive to our needs, patient with our family, and sensitive to our budget. She always had our best interests in mind, even when family members had dissenting views. Other caterers we interviewed with were more concerned with pleasing the parents and telling us what we wanted rather than listening to our ideas. This was one of the main reasons we choose Catered Too.

The menu they came up with fit our personalities and pleased everyone involved. We were stunned with how eclectic the menu was for our price range. The Chilean Sea Bass was everyone's favorite! My husband and I are foodies who were on a budget, and Catered Too delivered the highest quality menu we could afford, and it was delicious! It was the best "wedding food" I had ever had and everyone raved about it. The service was also wonderful. The bartenders handled our signature cocktails flawlessly and even mixed some custom drinks for several of our friends.

Muhammad, our on-site event manager, was amazing. He made sure we got some appetizers during cocktail hour and fixed us a beautiful plate from the buffet when it was time for dinner. He also coached us on how to cut the cake and kept everything on schedule. Thank you so much, Muhammad!

Of course there were a few hiccups during the evening, but we are all human! Our wedding day was a huge success because of Catered Too. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a solid caterer who has creativity, will work within your budget and will listen to all of your crazy ideas.

Thank you Catered Too for making our wedding day amazing!
