California Rose Catering

Whew, where do I even begin?

Our wedding food caterer got COVID at the last second - in came California Rose at the eleventh hour through a personal referral. Chef Dov and Jenn CRUSHED it to where I actually wished that I booked them originally.

They took care of everything for our backyard wedding, from the rentals to servers to the AMAZING food. The food was Michelin quality, so my own wedding food was the best wedding food I've ever had.

Oh and Chef Dov ensures that his entire team is fully vaccinated. We felt very safe and comfortable having their team in our home and interacting

Cali Alley is my best find during the pandemic. The food is always great and the prices are reasonable.

Awesome flavors. I definitely visit once a week to get my fix. The Burgers are out of this world. But the Shrimp Bowl is a must do.Do yourself a favor by adding this place into your weekly routines. You wont be disappointed.

We had California Rose Catering as our caterers for our wedding and my oh my it was the right choice! We had a very particular palate in mind and Dov delivered and then some. Our guests couldn't stop commenting on the food; many said it was the best they've ever had. Kaitlin and the team were extremely well organized, worked well with our day of planner, and we were also amazing in the way that they tried to ensure we well fed throughout the day! Everyone says the bride and groom never get to even eat on their wedding day, but lucky for us, that wasn't the case--we had heaps of their

Cannot say enough great things about this company. I hired them for a 40 person birthday party in my back yard and was looking for someone who could handle everything from food, to planning, to rentals. They did all this and more. Kaitlin was a true professional when it came to helping me plan and coordinate the details. Dov (the owner), Kaitlin, and Netha came by a few weeks in advance to help plan out details like table rentals and were so great to work with and came up with excellent ideas and solutions for space constraints. I went back and forth with them a lot on food (because there were

California Rose Catering is AWESOME!!!! The food was delicious, on time, and the staff was so nice and easy to work with!! Mostly, the food was the perfect balance of healthy and feeding people who want to EAT! I use a lot of caterers for business meetings and they are definitely 5 star for sure!!! Much appreciated.

BEST CATERER EVER! I have worked in the nonprofit sector at major organizations for more than 3 decades and during that time I have never found a caterer to come even close to California Rose. The food is utterly devine; the service is impeccable; and Chef Dov and his amazing crew make everything sooooo easy. I give California Rose the highest rating possible. Try them. You will NOT be disappointed.

We booked California Rose as our wedding caterer. Our food was amazing, and the final coordination went great.

+ Food: We had a ton of comments from friends and family that they loved the food at the wedding. Some friends even asked us for specifics on the menu after the wedding, which Dov gladly helped us with! We were worried that with our budget, we wouldn't be able to have great food at our wedding, but Dov helped us stay within our price limit with a quality meal.

+ Coordination: Coordination leading up to the big day was initially a bit fruatrating, but in the end everything worked

For years, we've had an annual summit catered by California Rose, and they've done a phenomenal job! Excellent food and great staff. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional caterer to help with an event!

We had our wedding catered by CRC a month ago. Dov, Angy & the team are the bomb. They are super professional but have a friendly, laid back and approachable attitude. They made my very high maintenance husband and myself VERY happy with how the big day went with all the preparation & time that they spent with us and using their experience & knowledge of the venue (St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Belvedere). The day went very smoothly and there wasn't a single thing I could think of (OR that I know of, ha!) that could have gone better. It was literally a seamless day.

Dove, Angie and their team are awesome!!!

Have been working with them for years and they have a very professional and friendly attitude and have the ability to meet any special needs a client requires.

Thank you for making the wedding experience exceptional for so many of our happy brides and grooms!

The food is exceptional and California Rose Staff are the best!

California Rose Catering and Special Events transformed our wedding venue into a romantic atmosphere and prepared the most delicious food that our guests loved. My husband and I knew we wanted our wedding catered by California Rose after we tasted their food at another family member’s wedding. Chef Dov worked with us to customize the reception menu, the dessert bar, and our presentation cake. Our guests told us that the food tasted incredible and asked if they could get the chef’s information for their events. Chef Dov has been a professional chef at high end restaurants in San Francisco and

Dov, Eric, & the whole California Rose team are amazing!!! I planned a conference in Berkeley for ~150 people, and I cannot praise them enough; it was so great to work with them for this event. Never having planned an event before, I asked Dov so many questions, and he was extremely helpful every step of the way. The food was incredible (people were raving about it all night!), and everything was done professionally and seamlessly on their end.

For incredible food, amazing customer service, and people that go above and beyond to help out, definitely use California Rose Catering!

My wife and I worked with CA Rose for our 115 person wedding last week at the Landmarks Art and Garden Center in Tiburon, and in short, they were *outstanding.* We feel very fortunate that they were our caterer and day-of-event planner.

Day of the Event: They exceeded our expectations. Everything worked seamlessly, and not only were our guests absolutely raving about the food / service, but my wife and I were completely relaxed and able to just enjoy ourselves as Dov/Eric and their colleagues had everything under control. One guest said the meal was not only the best wedding food she's ever

My wife and I hired California Rose to cater our 150-person wedding in October and couldn't have been happier with the results. We even had 5-10 guests approach us to report that this was the "best wedding food I've ever had".
Dov and Angy were flexible with our food preferences and budget, and they worked well with the other vendors to provide a seamless experience. I am so so happy we came across California Rose before choosing our wedding caterer--they were an absolute highlight of the night!

OMG

Had this catering for a work function today... absolutely amazing. Flavors wonderful, taste perfect, ingredients fresh...

I'm remembering this name for a long time.

Today we had Mexican food.. great, thick corn tortillas, grilled chicken, carnitas, rice with veggies, and 3 amazing salsas. Red pico de gallo, a red chunky salsa with (I think) a slight chipotle flavor and an amazing, chunky green salsa with tomatillos and red onion.. OMG, I'm having a plate of seconds this was so wonderful.

This is probably the best catering company my employer has used.

Like i said, great flavors

California Rose catered our wedding this past weekend, and I cannot say enough good things about them!

My husband (then fiance) and I did tastings with two catering companies. Our first tasting with another company was pretty typical--good but nothing special, but then we met with California Rose and were completely blown away. Dov clearly loves to cook, and even though we had a tight budget he really wanted to present us with options that we would love. He even added a bonus item onto our tasting menu because we had told him we had tried a really unappealing short rib dish at our first tasting

From the first time we met, Chev Dov and his entire staff were professional, helpful and passionate about food. They were responsive to menu selections, changes and ideas.
Service was 5-Star. The quality of each meal was fresh, flavorful and made with care.
Food was 5-Stars! I would use them for any personal catering as I know I will get the freshest ingredients "whipped" into delicious creations. Thank you California Rose!

Bio-Rad ordered this catering for 2 days. The first day was lasagna and garlic bread. The second day was BBQ link, chicken, and potato salad.

The lasagna was alright. Garlic bread was a little on the salty side. And the gluten free baked ziti was served with cold cheese. My manager said she bit into an actual frozen piece of cheese. Because of this, I felt that this place deserved 3 stars.

The BBQ was a different story. The chicken was tender and the sauce was finger lickin' good. Their homemade croutons made their salad better than normal. The potato salad had a lot going on inside. It

California Rose provided the catering to a Birthday Party celebration that Gayle and I recently attended at the Allegro Ballroom in Emeryville. We were both very impressed with food quality and selection and the service. I believe that our host were also pleased on how they and all of their guests were treated.

I wasn't really expecting this kind of spread when we decided to attend this event. I love pleasant surprises such as this and would gladly travel any extra miles to again attend a gathering that retained California Rose for their catering needs.
