Chef Gregory and his friendly and professional staff have never failed to deliver a creative and new menu each year which is always a hit. We would recommend using Chef Gregory for any event you have in mind you wont be disappointed!" - Sue and Jim Pierce "It is our privilege to offer the recommendation of Chef Gregory. He has planned and catered our firm Christmas party for the past two years, in addition to private functions for the past several years. He is passionate about what he does and his creative genius, no detail left unattended and diverse, delicious, beautifully prepared food make him a perfect choice. Palumbo Bergstrom cannot thank you enough for another fabulous Christmas party! It was absolutely beautiful, no detail was left unattended. The food was delicious. Beginning with the unusual array of hour d’oeurves, diverse entrees and the piece de resistance-a 5 foot high chocolate fountain. Chef Gregory possesses remarkable culinary and organizational skills; a great sense of humor, his passion is evident. In addition, his staff was well trained, attentive and friendly. We are looking forward to our next event with Chef Gregory." "Gregory, Thank you SOOO much for the lovely party you catered for us. The food was divine. I will definitely use your services again and recommend you as well. I know you have a busy week with Top Chef, but please send me an invoice to my total balance due when you get a chance." - Autumn Request A Free Estimate Today!

    Designation

    I have used chef Gregory’s gourmet catering for almost 2 decades now and each time he never disappoints. Chef Gregory is attentive to the details and prepares so well in advance that we do not have any lag time between bar service and dinner service. We hold large corporate events and spend a tremendous amount of time and effort in order to have year and celebrations and usually hold them at off-site premises because they’re too large for the corporate offices. Gregory spends a tremendous amount of time on the details to make sure that all eyes are dotted and T’s are crossed. Gregory always goes above and beyond to make certain that our events go off without a hitch from the rentals to the food to the service staff there is no stone is left unturned. I cannot recommend chef Gregory’s gourmet catering enough, it is my pleasure to give him this review. Best wishes in your adventures up north in the Central Coast area, I’m sure you’ll do well.

      “I have used Chef Gregory for many years for my annual Holiday formal dinner. I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how WONDERFUL everything always is for the party. Gregory helps me craft a very special 5 course menu and wine pairings for each party. Since many of the same guests come every year he is careful to change the menu to be unique for that event. Everything is always SUPERB and delicious & every other synonym in the book. The presentation is always flawless and the quality impeccable. I could go on & on, but it would become redundant real fast. Gregory’s staff is always very professional and serve and clean up without being a distraction. I highly recommend Chef Gregory!”

        We asked Chef Gregory to prepare an Italian dinner for six (including our favorite, Truffles Pasta). He did not disappoint. The chef was organized, focused on meeting our expectations, and a lot of fun. Everyone loved the flavors and presentation of Chef’s creations. Mike and Barbara Barbara
