Chris' Ono Grinds Island Grill - North Park 

5.0

  • Starts at $1
  • Serves Encinitas, CA

Our business started back in '09 at local Farmer's Markets, and we have been grateful to expand ever since. Our team and family have built up a cozy brick and mortar in North Park, and a fast-paced location inside Liberty Public Market in Point Loma. San Diego is the best city in the world and we love the rapport we have built within the community. We look forward to continued growth as we spread our Aloha spirit to more venues and customers.

Chris' Ono Grinds Island Grill was our number one choice from our available options for our wedding reception @ The Lane, San Diego. We love hawaiian food, and the menu options they gave us were perfect for our 250 guests! Even when we decided to add on a few more items about a month or so before the wedding, they were very communicative and helpful in making that work for us. The food and service itself were fantastic. We had a number of guests come up to us saying how much they enjoyed the food. And of course, they were kind enough to pack my wife and I some extra food at the end of night. We can't thank them enough, and would definitely recommend them to other wedding couples!

  • Serves Encinitas, CA

Established in 1986. Buckboard Catering and Events was established in May of 1986 and is one of the oldest catering companies in San Diego. The business has expanded to include a full range of farm-to-fork locally sourced food options to extensive culinary catering for any occasion or experience.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this team!! The buckboard catering team catered my wedding and they blew us all away!! Ashley was amazing with accommodating our budget, going through the options, hosting the tasting and holding my hand through the process. I had people coming up to me all night telling me how great the food was. They had great communicating with us throughout the process and even with our guests all night. They personally spoke to each guest with allergies and informed them of the best options to accommodate them. They even went out of their way to buy a new salad dressing for a guest with allergies during the event and gave her her own personal bottle to keep at her table. My coordination team was going to take care of cake cutting and our nacho bar but the Buckboard team insisted on taking it off of their hands and took a huge load off of their plates. I got great feedback from everyone about the friendly bartenders and their flexibility with signature drinks and the other options!! I highly recommend you hire them for your next event! Thank you Buckboard for making our day that much more special!!!

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Encinitas, CA

I had my first shot at managing a sushi restaurant when I took over an empty section of the family restaurant and introduced sushi to my customers. It was a challenge that I will never regret accepting. It was fun, a lot of fun! I had the opportunity to work with some really talented and creative chefs. I quickly learned that it’s not just about having fresh fish anymore. Sushi dining has transformed into a culture. A culture built by imagination and creativity. With the help of GD and the support of my family, I took all that experience and fused it with my imagination and created Yooshi Sushi Catering and Event Production.

Zad catered the sushi at our wedding in March. His trendy presentation and quality choices of fish made it a big hit for our guests. Everyone agreed he was the highlight of our first course. Great team and easy to talk to. Looking forward to more joyous events with Zad by our side.

Off the Vine Dining Catering Company

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Encinitas, CA

Brian and Alexa met in 2016 when he was pursuing his dream operating a café in North Park. This venture was called Grinds & Vine Coffee Bar, where the community was the most important factor of his establishment. One day Alexa came in as a guest to study and have some coffee. She was quickly mesmerized by the PB&J sandwich and their delicious cold brew options. They shared some great conversations about food and life then quickly became friends, which then blossomed into something more. Who would have ever thought a PB&J, a cold brew and a conversation would turn into love and marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
First off, the food is THE best. Our guest have been raving about the appetizers and food all week post wedding. Brian is the best chef and so helpful when choosing a menu. He’s on top of it and Alexa is just as awesome! The staff were always checking in on us making sure we were fed and if we needed anything. My aunt has a severe allergy and Brian was able to accommodate a special plate for her and she said it was the first time she’s ever had so many options! We can’t thank Brian and team enough for being the best vendor! They were such a hit at our wedding!

  • Serves Encinitas, CA

Welcome. Chef Jason started out in the kitchen at 15 years old as a dishwasher at Red Lobster washing dishes and baking. From there, he worked many cook’s lines until I earned my first chef position under Emeril Lagasse over ten years ago. He's went on to operating casino kitchens, private dining clubs. Since relocating from Atlanta, GA Jason has gained experience in kitchen consulting and new restaurant openings. After 25 years in the industry, He is now starting a new journey into the Private Chef sector. He refers to his style of cooking as Southern Creole cooking, where it’s much more than cooking…it’s about the overall experience.

The Crain Experience was so amazing and easy to work with! Anytime I had questions they were so quick to get back to me. The food was delicious, the drinks were phenomenal, and the staff/bartenders were easygoing, professional, and personable. I could not recommend them more!
