Before You Even Pick Up The Phone To Call Us, Take The Time To Read Questions You May Have About Booking A Caterer.
How do I know you will do a good job?
If you have never sampled our food we invite you to come in and enjoy a meal in our restaurant, which will highlight the quality of our ingredients. Many of our recipes have been passed down through generations and we are very proud to be able to share some of them with you and your friends and family.
How much notice do you need to book my catering?
For Pick-Up Catering, we ask for 48 hours notice (though some items may require more notice). However, please feel free to call us at 714-535-1948 and press “3” to be connected to our Catering Department if it is less than the requested notice. We are often able to accommodate or make special exceptions for last minute orders.
For Delivery & Set-Up, we recommend you book as far in advance as possible, to ensure your date is reserved on our calendar. Our availability is often limited. Feel free to call us for delivery requests. If we have an opening, we are more than happy to work with you.
Do you have any minimums for catering?
We do not have a minimum for catering orders for Pick-Up but we do have minimums to be eligible for delivery.
