So uhh, I ordered food from Uber Eats and I got this restaurant delivered by accident. Someone else ordered "Cream of Passion" and "Bacon Creamed Spinach".
I tried both dishes after making the claim with Uber Eats (they can't come pick it back up so I didn't want it to go to waste).
The salmon was okay but needed more seasoning really bad. Maybe a lemon wedge on the side too.
The creamed spinach was pretty good.
The weirdest thing is I am literally starting Keto again this weekend and got this keto food delivered by accident. But now I know and I'll probably order from here sometime!

Doesn't look like much on the outside, nor on the inside for the matter.
But wow, that chicken sandwich from "My Mac & Only" was definitely memorable. It wasn't what I was expecting, but it's absolutely what I needed.
Full-context:
The awkward thing was I saw them preparing it too. I was a bit of a rush as my partner had a dance class nearby within the half hour and we had just ordered. So I stood there hoping someone could help me at least get her food out and I could just wait on mine. While no one ended up discussing the situation with me, they at least got my

Just found this gem on DoorDash last night, it's under the name "ketosis" but I did some research to see the name. Soo sooo yummy and a great price for the fresh ingredients, portions, and convenience. I got cauli mash 10/10, creamed bacon spinach 10/10, sausage puffs which were basically Keto friendly meatballs with marinara 9/10 just because I'm not very much of a meatball person but I would order again and put over my Keto pasta! & Keto wings 9/10. This was all only $23.80!!
With the leftovers I put the creamed spinach on top of the caulimash and baked with cheese!

49 Square helped me create the wedding of my dreams. Everyone was exceptional, professional, and kind as could be. Everyone was super responsive over email during the planning process, which is really reassuring. Their goal was to make the catering process as easy and enjoyable as possible with everything from the initial planning to the tasting all the way up to catering the actual event.
Side note, I am vegan, and I had several vegan/gluten-free guests at my wedding. 49 Square created a dish that was both vegan and gluten-free that was so enjoyable, I had people coming up to me saying it was

They were at this year’s benefit for the Conservatory of Flowers and had the most delightful setup. Buried beneath a soil and moss “garden” were 3 different dishes. In order to get them you had to reach your hand into the garden, and the food was in small containers. Delicious and beautiful food, and the most creative display!

Look no further, 49 Square is it! Exactly a week ago, my daughter's vision for her dream wedding became a reality. Kim Nelson and her team executed it with precision. 49 Square has set the bar so high, you will be left in awe! They are a well oiled machine. My husband and I were treated like family from the first time we spoke on the phone, on the day when we had the tasting until the day of the event. Their staff were so attentive to every single details from start to finish. They were such great partners and life savers as well. Efficiency and excellent customer service comes so naturally

49 Square Catering is as good as it gets. They are extremely professional, easy to work with and extremely personable. Although I didn't have any of their food, I had the pleasure of working with the team for a massive event at Pier 27. Brenda and Trent were the people I got to work with. They were amazing, fast, thought on their feet in the moment, more than helpful, and also very polite and professional when they mentioned certain jobs were not 49sq's responsibility. That's important in working in events. How to define where you end and someone else begins with tact.

I had the pleasure of working with 49 Square Catering for a private book-tour event and I couldn't recommend them more! Kim was a pleasure to work with during the entire planning process; prompt to reply to emails, great communicator and very professional. I requested a vegan menu for our event and they customized delicious hors d'oeuvres, beautifully presented and passed continuously through the venue. The entire staff were incredible helpful, professional and easy to work with.

I cannot give 49 Square a higher rating. Our original venue and catering service had to be cancelled due to the Northern California fires, 5 days before our event. We contacted Kim and team the Wednesday before our Saturday wedding. The speed, professionalism, and overall partnership the team provided was remarkable. We were able to very closely resemble our original menu and all our guests RAVED about the entrees and appetizers. Furthermore, the tables, linens, glassware, and plates provided by the company were top notch.

You will absolutely not go wrong with 49 Square! Mark, Elaine, and their incredible team executed an exceptional food & beverage program for #1500 attendees at the IBM Watson Developer Conference last November at the Innovation Hangar. This one-day F&B program had a lot of moving parts including attendee breakfast, breaks, lunch and reception as well as separate staff and VIP requirements. We certainly kept them busy, and they delivered on everything!
Elaine was an absolute pleasure to work with, proposing really cool, out-of-the-box ideas that always were within budget. I appreciated

49 Square Catering made my wedding day a magical event! I had the pleasure to work with Kim and she is wonderful! Kim is so smart, honest and professional and she is willing to do whatever she can to make your event a great one. The food tasted outstanding and the entire staff is so kind and works so hard. I am very lucky to have worked with them on my wedding and I strongly believe if you hire them you will feel as happy and lucky as I do.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with 49 Square Catering for our wedding at the Bently Reserve in San Francisco a little over 3 weeks ago. Hiring 49 Square Catering was one of the best wedding decisions we made. The food and service were amazing and they delivered everything we agreed upon. Our tasting was so much fun and I really appreciate the fact that any suggestions or ideas we expressed during our tasting were taken into consideration by Chef Mark and Kim. Little things my husband and I mentioned were not overlooked. I cannot express enough how amazing it is to have a vendor

These people know how to feed the masses! And smaller events too, of course. Their presentation is gorgeous, and I've always had yummy eats. They'll create a menu specific to what your theme is.
They catered an event I had at The Bently Reserve and went above and beyond in what they served as well as their design of their service area. Highly recommend!

49 Square just catered my wedding and everything went SO smoothly! The food was delicious and elegantly presented. The decor was lovely. The service staff was extremely attentive and friendly.
Where I would say that I was particularly impressed was how mindful everybody was at 49 Square. They paid attention to very minor details and were very customer-oriented. They really shined in their event management from the planning process to managing the flow of the event while it was going on. They didn't just bring food, they were a large part of simply making the event HAPPEN.

49 Square Catering is anything BUT square! Mark, Brenda and their staff catered a private party in our home for 50 guests. I was having difficulty deciding what to serve for this particular theme party, but Mark gave me a variety of great options, and didn't have any problem as I changed my mind during the planning stages. I was probably a complete pain as far as clients go, but he was always gracious. Not only did they develop a wonderful menu, but they concocted a house drink and created fun food and drink menus in the theme, which were tastefully displayed at the party. The plating and

We used 49 Square for a three day hackathon for 150 employees. Mark and his team served breakfast all three days. 49 Square worked with the themed days that we had laid out for the event and provided a delicious combination of continental and themed hot breakfast each day.
The catering team was a delight to work with - on time, friendly, accommodating - they went above and beyond. Hospitality at its best.
The food was fresh and delicious, with good signage and beautiful presentation.
I definitely recommend 49 Square for your next corporate function!

I worked with 49 Square for a corporate event and I cannot sing their praises enough. Not only was their food impeccable, the staff was extremely helpful and kind. I work at a food technology company and the chef at 49 Square managed to use our product in every app prepared for our event. And best of all, it was absolutely delicious. We had some dietary needs that needed to be met and 49 Square just hit the ball right out of the park.
I can't thank them and their amazing staff enough because of the integral part they played in making the event so fabulous.
I would hire them again in a heart
