Chris' Ono Grinds Island Grill - North Park 

5.0

  • Starts at $1
  • Serves Rancho Santa Fe, 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.

Wow! Andrea truly made us feel seen and taken care of. We wanted to do a tasting for our wedding and she truly went above and beyond & she explained everything with clarity and confidence. She let us try everything and had the perfect balance of attending to us and letting us enjoy the tasting and taking amongst ourselves. Andrea was very accommodating and we never felt pressured at all. The flavor of the food was amazing, but her customer service is what sealed the deal and made us say yes. We know we will be taken care of on our wedding day.

The Wild Thyme Company 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Rancho Santa Fe, CA

The Wild Thyme Company was founded in 2005 as a culmination of our Chief Foodie, Dawn Carvajal's, extensive culinary experience and desire to highlight the bold, intriguing, and undoubtedly delicious flavors of global cuisine. TWTC celebrates the art of flavors and beautiful ingredients coming together, and how food can create a sense of community. Most of our offerings are custom by client request. Founded on Mediterranean and Coastal California fares, our menus offer a farm-to-table feel, capturing the essence of fresh food and local provisions.

I live in Houston so had to plan a San Diego rehearsal dinner long distance, which took a good bit of faith, especially throughout months of uncertainty of whether the event could even take place because of COVID. Wild Thyme was on a list of several caterers approved by my venue, The Thursday Club; I selected only three for quotes. I chose Wild Thyme based on its website, menus, and the fact that Gina Eliason, Director of Sales, was easy to work with, listening to what was important to me and making spot-on suggestions. I could only hope that the dinner would be good, as I was unavailable for a tasting. Chef Dawn's food, including vegetarian, beef, and sea bass, was absolutely delicious, and the portions were surprisingly generous and beautifully plated. From appetizers to desserts, every bite was delectable. The service team was very accommodating, flexible, and professional, including when we all dropped our forks during the salad course to run out to the balcony to take sunset photos. Overall, the set up, food, and service led by Ryan were outstanding, and certainly exceeded my expectations. It didn't hurt that wonderful bartender Chad is also from Texas! My brother, who has a long history of hotel/resort food and beverage experience, including The Ritz Carlton, gave the food a big thumbs up. All of my guests were very impressed and thankful, and the gorgeous bride and my sweet son loved everything.

Del's Hideout 

5.0

  • Starts at $25
  • Serves Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Del’s Hideout is your family-friendly neighborhood BBQ spot serving up authentic Texas-style BBQ in the heart of Del Cerro. Executive Chef Tim Eylens executes his signature “low and slow” technique on barbeque classics including prime brisket, pork topped burgers, baby back ribs and his popular smoked meat combos.

We had Del's Hideout cater our wedding and they provided us with an amazing experience. Everything was delicious and the service was top notch. They worked with us on the menu to acommodate some special requests. Despite being a BBQ restaurant that focuses on meat (which was amazing), our vegan guests also raved about their food, and said it was the best vegan food they ever had at a wedding. The team took care of all of our guests and we received nothing but good feedback from everyone.

Buckboard Catering and Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Rancho Santa Fe, 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. A complete inventory of rental items for any size event is also available.

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!!!

Off the Vine Dining Catering Company 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Rancho Santa Fe, 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 Rancho Santa Fe, 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.

Easy to communicate with very prompt and professional. Excellent work!

We ordered Tuck Ins to put in our wedding guest gift bags at the hotel. Tuck Ins was easy to work with, delivered in a timely manner, and all of our guests loved having something delicious and made by a local Philly company. If we were to get married again, I think we would include Tuck Ins at the dessert table and let the guests roast them at the reception. Would highly recommend!
