“Excellent Catering for Our Company Launch Event We had the pleasure of working with Far Out Catering for Empo Health's launch party on November 17th at La Honda Winery, and we were extremely pleased with the results!!! Carla Vidal-Lopez was professional and responsive throughout the planning process. She helped us develop a menu that accommodated diverse dietary preferences, and the execution was excellent. The quality of the food was outstanding. The Thanksgiving-themed grazing table featured a well-curated selection of artisan cheeses and charcuterie with thoughtful presentation. The heavy appetizers were creative and well-prepared - the Chicken Saltado presentation was memorable, the vegetarian samosas were excellent, and the Mini Impossible Cheeseburger Sliders were particularly popular with our guests. We've received numerous compliments about the food in the days following the event. The dessert station offered a nice variety, with everything fresh and beautifully presented. The attention to detail was evident in the use of ceramic platters and elegant serving utensils, which added a polished touch to the event. Carla's team was professional and attentive throughout the evening, ensuring smooth service from setup through cleanup. We were very satisfied with our experience with Far Out Catering and would gladly work with them again for future company events. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for quality catering with professional service. Thank you to Carla and the Far Out Catering team for contributing to the success of our launch party!!”

Both were highly skilled coordinators and helped us connect with the rental company we used for chairs, linens and place settings. We implemented virtual biweekly meetings until the month of the wedding when we met every week and everything went off without a hitch. The food was delicious (all my guests are still talking about it) and the donut bar we requested was a huge hit. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area for catering.”

They also worked with us to source our favorite Josey Baker bread from The Mill in SF. The food at the wedding was AMAZING! We served it family-style so that everyone could choose from a variety of items. Our most favorite dish was the veggie galette, which we loved so much that we made it available to all guests, not just vegetarians. Many of our guests complimented the menu saying it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding!!! Thank you Continental team!”

“Eisenhauer's Catering is the best!! We tried sample tasting at several catering companies when we were choosing the one for our wedding, and Eisenhauer's was exceptional. Their food was delicious, the way it was served was gorgeous, and communication with them was so easy, so we chose them for our Big day with no hint of doubt. During the entire year Dustin and Lisa were a huge help to us, which is really important during wedding planning. On our wedding day food was beyond our expectations. It was tasty, had lots of variety, some appetizers were very thoughtfully labeled as "Dairy free" and "Vegetarian", to make sure all the guests were comfortable with their food. We had a special request for a traditional salad, that is cooked in our native cuisine, and Eisenhauer's totally coped with that. If I mention all the details I asked them to do,it's going to be a 10-page review :-) so I will just say that: Eisenhauer's were great and without them our wedding could not be as awesome, as it was. Our guests were excited, and we are absolutely happy!”
