Just wanted to thanks for our so delicious dinner buffet for my husbands 75 birthday. Everyone really enjoyed the foods especially the soup. We have received so many compliments on your behalf. And it was a joy to work w you in the planning of menu choices– so easy When things go that smoothly and turn out spectacularly life is good! You and your staff are exceptional
Much appreciated Jeanne and Tom H
You and Pacific Fine Foods gave my husband and me the party of our dreams on July 28! The food was delicious, varied, beautiful and plentiful. It exceed my expectations.
Your staff in Chef Philip, Melissa, Erin and Kristin was extraordinary (I hope I spelled their names correctly). They anticipated things I hadn’t thought of. They gently maneuvered me duringthe party, when I needed it. They worked seamlessly together. The table and bar were decked out beautifully and kept the food and drinks refreshed.
And the night before, Erin was indispensable for me that night for Tim’s dinner. She worked well with me in prepping and serving, cleaned up from cocktails, helped me organize the the kitchen at the end for the dinner, and plan the drinks for the next day. I loved this woman! She truly enabled me to serve a great dinner for 16 people, and not get frazzled in the process.
I cannot recommend your company enough. And the proof is in the email below from one of our guests who has now hired you for their party! I love it!
Thank you, Thank you!
Melissa

I can’t believe how beautiful and magical last night was. Thank you ever so much! I’m working on your replaced check and should have it next week- I’ve got gorgeous photos of your food- a true work of art and will email them next week too. You out-did yourself… But for now, have a very nice weekend.

Just a note of great thanks for a wonderful late afternoon buffet you put on for the celebration of our new priest at Christ Episcopal Church. It was enjoyed by and I received so very many compliments, to many to share. Please thank all involved and I look forward to working with you again when the need arises.
Blessings,

Hi Kelly !
We just wanted to write and say THANK YOU for an amazing night. The entire menu was outstanding, from start to finish, and everyone kept raving about your wonderful creations. I’m afraid the appetizers were too good, and people filled up during the cocktail hour and didn’t have big enough appetites for all the sumptuous mains that followed 🙂
We loved working with you and it was such a pleasure to finally meet. You and your staff were so great, and really made our night extra special. Thank you again for all the special touches you added to make our event seem so unique and personal.
I hope your mother received good news from the doctors this week. I was so sad to hear that you were going through such stressful times, and want you to know that we are keeping you and your mother in our prayers.
Thank you again, and please keep in touch. We would love to take you out for a night of the DC food scene if you are ever in town.
All the best, Peter & Bob

Dear Kelly & Team,
Once again, you have knocked our socks off. You never stop being amazing. You are so creative and inventive. Baby-sizing everything was amazing. The food delicious. The presentation with the vintage toys was spectacular. The basket of animal cracker cookies and Teddy Bear topped it off ! Sue was very pleased and overwhelmed. Kudos to you for making her baby shower not only memorable, but very special.
We managed to really surprise her and everyone complimented the cook. I told them, as usual, it is all by Pacific Fine Foods.
Just amazing! Thank you.

You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for handling the catering for our conference this past weekend. Every logistical point, both timing and location, was met with utmost accuracy and grace. Philip was, as I’m sure you know, fantastic. And, of course, the food was absolutely delicious — everyone loved it!
Thank you again for putting working with us; we’ll look forward to doing it again next year!
Best,

Thank you for helping me look good in my new job. You’ve got a standing job with EdSource! Our next meeting is December 14. The Board has already asked that I make sure to book your services again so pencil us in or let me know what I need to do to book you for the holiday season.
Thanks again.

I am never using another catering company! Everything was perfect. I would love to talk to you about upcoming events too.
Also, I wanted to tip your (awesome) staff but they said it made sense for me to include in the invoice. I didn’t carefully review the invoice but I do want to make sure that they receive tips. How do you prefer I handle all of that.
Thank you so-so-so much.
Warmly, Amelia

Hi Kelly,
Everything was perfect yesterday and we received superior service from the young gentlemen with black hair and glasses, and a slim young female with long brown hair (she has a pink lotus flower tattoo on her wrist). They were both OVER the top helpful and QUIET!!!! : )
I would like to add a $15 tip for each of them ($30 total) when you revise this invoice.
Thanks so much and I will try to turn this around as soon as you send it back.

It shouldn’t have taken me a week to let you know this, but everything was a smashing success last weekend. Thanks again to your entire teams for all the hard work they put in. We are, as always, very pleased to be working with you (as I hope is clear by the fact that we convinced both the German Department to use you for their conference, and the English department to use you for a few different things!).

To Kelly and the Crew of Pacific Fine Foods:
Thank you again for catering our Post-NSA / Espionage event. The food was amazing! We expected nothing less after receiving such high praise from one of your other clients. The delicacies, combined with a beautiful presentation that flawlessly matched our theme, would have made Sean Connery (007) envious. And did I mention the salad? Even something as simple as a salad had people talking.
You were punctual, thorough, and delivered more than we imagined. The additional staff we hired through you were gracious and helpful. We would recommend you in a heartbeat.
Kindest Regards,

I want to thank you and your folks at Pacific Fine Foods for the catering at my event last night (Nemea Center – Classics, UCB).

Please convey my thanks to your staff and I look forward to future catering occasions.
All best and happy holidays,

Phillip was delightful and very helpful too. All in all, it went very well and I appreciate all of your assistance! I am delighted to have met you and look forward to hiring you for future events!

Dear Kelly, Nyanda and the rest of the Pacific Fine Food Crew,
Thank you so much for the catering services and staffing you provided at our wedding on July 30th. The spread of snacks to tide our guests over was just what we asked for, and the oil cloth table coverings perfectly suited our décor.
We appreciated your flexibility in working with us, especially considering that you don’t do weddings that often!
To Nyanda in particular: We received so many compliments from our guests about the quality of service you provided and your warm , jovial presence. Thank you for being such a lovely addition to our reception; your work didn’t go unnoticed.
Again, thank you all for your yummy snacks; we truly appreciate your efforts.
Best,
Tarrin & Jason

I just wanted to write and thank you again for whipping up the platters and delivering them for my party. The party was a huge hit, in large part to your delicious food.

Take care.

FAN-TAS-TIC! DE-LICIOUS! AWWW-SOME! WOW! Those are the compliments we got from our friends and family when they saw and experienced the lovely BBQ lunch you catered for our son’s Graduation and daughter’s Confirmation party on Sunday! Everyone marveled about the presentation and the quality of the food, and commented on how delicious everything tasted! We were surprised at how many people complimented your green salad with the edible flowers, and of course, everyone wanted to know the recipe of your dressing! And, you were right when you assured me that I didn’t have to worry that I wouldn’t have enough food for everybody. The portions were perfect, considering the fact that I have a large family with huge appetites! I even surprised my guests when I told them that I had not sampled any of the dishes beforehand, but merely went with my instinct to go with Pacific Fine Food Catering after I went to your website and saw all the beautiful pictures of past events and read all the wonderful comments of satisfied clients!
I really appreciated the fact that you made everything so easy for my husband and me – from helping with the menu, to preparing the food, to delivering everything to our home, setting up, and taking everything away the day after! My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the day, and we owe you a ton of thanks!
I’ve already referred Pacific Fine Food Catering to some of our guests who may contact you for a company party or family affair. So, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Not only did you make it a special day for our son and daughter, but the entire event was enjoyed by all!
Gratefully,

Our open house was a great success! Thanks to you and your crew! The food was very good. The salmon, scallops and mango and the asparagus wrapped with steak were my fav!! Brian did a fantastic job yesterday. He was extremely friendly and everybody enjoyed his service last night. We were having so much fun that we did not realize it was getting so late. Since there were still people hanging around and drinking Brian agreed to pick up the wine glasses today. I appreciated that.
Enjoy your weekend!

Dear Kelly:
On behalf of the Berkeley High School Athletic Fund, I would like to express my sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of three beautiful and delicious gourmet salads to our Berkeley High School Athletic Fund Golf Tournament (May 7, 2010). Usually men seldom notice salad, but they were absolutely raving about yours! Never seen men dash for second helpings on salads … you provided the perfect amount for the group.
The tournament was a success and the revenues generated will help supplement Berkeley High School’s many athletic programs. We are fortunate to have your enthusiasm and support. Strong community involvement in our public schools is a key to excellence. Your support for the athletics program adds to the overall quality of Berkeley High and marks the difference between a good and a great school.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your services last week! Everything was really remarkable, and the faculty and participants were extremely pleased with the food choices, presentation and quality that you and your team provided.
I myself can’t say enough about you (I’ll try to get a review up on Yelp or something when I get a breather!), Tanya and Philip. I wish I could hire you all, ALL the time! I’m still salivating over that pulled pork sandwich, the fried egg salad and the pumpkin pies (I don’t even LIKE pumpkin pie), not to mention those infused waters and the peach and pear jam (which I am guarding for myself). You have such a high standard, and your presentations are just beautiful!
Thanks again and I hope to see you all in the very near future (or perhaps at the Alameda Antique faire). Cynthia .

Kelly –
My day was stress free thanks to the wonderful job Tanya and crew did at our wedding! They did a great job! The food was delicious – I can’t decide if the lasagna or the scalloped potatoes were the best part – I missed the cheese appetizers due to an outdoor photo session, my loss! Everything ram smoothly, tasted delicious, looked beautiful and everybody at Pacific Fine Food was calm, organized, efficient and friendly. I can’t imagine a better caterer. I will refer you to anyone and everyone! Your service, from the initial tasting to the last piece of cake served was spot on! Thank you for making a potentially stressful event into a wedding Dave and I could fully enjoy!
Thank you!

The lunch was WONDERFUL and everyone loved it. That potato salad was AWESOME. I personally loved it, as well as the scones. The apple pockets were unbelieveable. I was glad to be able to make off with some stash to share with my folks. My dad is a huge apple pie, apple strudle guy. So thanks again, and I’ll have another smaller order for you again in May. Tanya was GREAT and I was glad to meet with her.

You all did a WONDERFUL job. Firstly you all were a pleasure to work with and what a creative display of delicious tea fare! Ladies went nuts over the sandwiches which they said, “tea sandwiches” are usually really tiny and dry these are the Best” and the cookies passed with flying colors ! Loved that they were homemade and not those typical glazed flower cookies, the lemon and peanut ones were divine and different which was nice! So thank you again for a beautiful job. I am going to mention you in the newspaper and hopefully continued business will come your way. I will also tell Cathy Glazier, the hostess ,to use you again for next year’s tea which will be at her house and seeing that you know the layout now that will make everything a breeze.

I just want to express my utmost gratitude for the FANTASTIC job you did in catering Jeff and Christine’s wedding 2 weeks ago. Jeff was so pleased that you took on the job, as he said you usually don’t do weddings. He had the utmost confidence in you and now I can see why! We (both sides of the families) received SO MANY compliments on the delicious food and friendly, professional staff. You really went out of your way to provide outstanding service all evening. I’m only sorry I didn’t seek you out personally to let you know how wonderful everything was. In all the excitement of the evening, I was rather pre-occupied! Thanks again for helping to make the evening so special for all of us. (I’m sure it was as much work to service as your usual 1,000 people!) I only wish we could recommend you to everyone we know-being in San Diego wouldn’t really provide many clients for you J
Take care.

Hi Kelley,
Well, it has been WAY too long since my birthday bash in May so please excuse my delay in writing. Even after several months, I can still conjure up the memory of the excellent Hawaiian themed spread you assembled for my guests. Everything tasted great and looked perfect. I got lots and lots of positive comments from the guests, even before they found their way into the signature drinks at St George’s. I tell anyone who asks about a catering recommendation to give you a call. I certainly hope some of them do since I am confident they will end up with a top-notch, delicious and fun experience with you and your crew.

He and I both had the salmon nicoise as did my boss. The birthday boy enjoyed his special lunch with ribbon and the recognition. Thank you. I will definitely use your service whenever I have an event to cater.

Dear Kelly,
First let me say how happy i was to see you this morning – it’s been too long in between! Once again, your food was absolutely perfect at all four meals you served. Your unique presentation, attention to the smallest details and your dedication to serving healthy, TASTY food was truly appreciated by all. May i also say, and please share this with your staff, your staff is consistently the most professional, thoughtful and efficient i’ve ever seen. Some of the meeting participants made a point of letting me know how much they appreciated the nearly stealth presence of your staff as they transitioned the servings in a very tight space, amidst sensitive and intense meeting discussion. Kudos to all!
Please know that i continue to share the good news about Pacific Fine Food Catering with all my colleagues and executives here at Kaiser, letting them know that you provide the best food and service while observing our commitment to “green” meetings and delivering it all at terrifically competitive prices.
With genuine gratitude and a happy tummy,

Thank you again for the wonderful food you provided our group during our tour of Distillery No.209. Not only was everything supremely delicious, but it all paired so well with the gin cocktails. Well done! We all greatly appreciated having you there as a most welcome part of our day of gin discovery. Thank you for bringing extra food to our band at Forbidden Island, that was a very special treat and you made some musicians very happy! I look forward to your culinary talents again soon. Please let me know when you’re next in Napa Valley as I’d be happy to show you our winery. Take care.

Kelly,
It went great. I was a little afraid of the new location and being in a hangar. We are always in a convention type setting, but other than a few bathroom complaints the students seemed fine. Thanks for working with us and all the great accommodations. Good luck to your business in 2007. May you have a fabulous year.

Hey girls!
Some of you got a chance to taste the food from today’s caterer for the Regional Presidents and National Leadership Team meeting. Here is the link to their website. Her name is Kelly Kearney.
The NLT & RPG loved the choices Jayne made on today’s menu and can I say, SO DID I !!!! It was a low calorie menu with all of the taste of a high calorie meal. One executive couldn’t believe the nonfat yogurt was actually nonfat. And the low fat peach coffee cake was unreal!!!!!!!!
Now most of you know I don’t like low fat or fat free anything, and with most of us watching what we eat these days, I can say this caterer lets you feel like you’re cheating without cheating. If you like, give them a shout and let them cater your next event.
So keep keeping track of your calories and your carbs. Be fit, be healthy and keep thriving.

Dear Ms. Kearney,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your generous donation for the Alameda County Mayor’s Conference last night at Hangar 1. The appetizers and cheese platter you contributed were not only beautifully presented but delicious as well. Also, I heard may of the comments made at the event about how wonderful dinner was as well. Everything was perfectly prepared and Christina especially enjoyed the cobbler. We are very fortunate to have a prestigious specialty catering company such as yours in Alameda. Thank you very much for your contributions.
Sincerely,
Beverly J, Mayor of Alameda

Thanks again for the amazing meals! The Greek buffet was outstanding! In the evaluations at the end of the day there were a lot of participants raving about how good the food was. Also, thank you for putting so much personal effort into making a great meal, from the fresh herbs directly from your garden to the fresh baked cookies and desserts that you provided. It is always a pleasure to hire Pacific Fine Foods when we are in the Bay area.
