Dish Catering

Dish Catering did an amazing job for my granddaughter ’ s birthday party. Her creativity blew me away! The food for the children and adults… perfection! So many compliments from guests and my granddaughter was thrilled. Laura left my kitchen spotless. Thank you, Laura for your thoughtful and exquisite catering, design and service.

She catered my 40^th birthday party in a speakeasy style private location in Santa Monica. I cannot say enough great things about Laura and her crew. She was diligent, creative and absolutely fantastic. The food tasted great! The main difference between her and others is the level of creativity. She cares, which makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Great caterer, do not hesitate hiring Dish Catering!!!

THANK YOU Dish Catering!
I hired Laura for my baby shower two weeks ago and it was absolutely wonderful! She was terrific at creating the perfect menu (the venue was outdoors with no kitchen facilities) and delivering delicious and visually appealing food.
MENU
Mini Frittatas with Avocado and Salsa
Mini Turkey and Ham Croissant Sandwiches
Mixed Green Salad served in Chinese Take Out Containers
Grilled Veggies with Balsamic Glaze
Salmon with Dill Sauce on Smashed Baby Peas
Mini Cupcakes
Personalized Sugar Cookies
Fruit Platter with Lime, Honey and Mint
She also went beyond my expectations by personalizing cookies for the baby and supplying table décor! Did I mention the cupcakes and cookies were delicious? She was professional, easy to communicate with and a delight to work with.
Thank you Laura!

Laura is great and I really enjoyed the delicious cupcakes she made for our event! Highly recommended!

Dish Catering made the groom’s cake for my October 2014 wedding.
It was a moist, delicious vanilla cake with berry filling. And when I say berry filling, I don’t mean some weak raspberry jam. The center of the cake was full of giant, ripe, delicious blackberries and raspberries. Laura definitely did not skimp on quality ingredients!
As good as the cake was, for me what was even cooler was the design. I’m a huge nerd for anything and everything star wars. Working with my wife, Laura designed the opening credits crawl using our story. It was awesome, and everyone loved it. My wife even found Han and Leia cake toppers, with a smaller Chewbacca to represent our dog Gemma. It was one of my favorite parts of the wedding.

After meeting with several catering companies, we decided to hire Laura from Dish Catering based on her positive reviews, attention to detail, flexibility and her ease of communication for our June baby shower.
We were 100% satisfied with our decision to hire Laura and she made a huge impression on our guests with her delicious food and attention to detail and super cute presentation!
The Food — Not only does Laura’s food look good, but it tastes even better. Laura worked with us to create a menu specific to our event, and everything tasted delicious. The mac N Cheese in Parmesan cups were a highlight for me. My guests could not stop talking about how good the food tasted.
The Presentation — Everything about Laura’s set up and presentation was SO cute. From little grilled cheese with tomato soup «shots» to chicken lollipops in grass, her food was part of the décor! She offered to bring her own accessories to make the buffet table look amazing and it absolutely did!
The Lady — Laura herself is a true professional. She worked so hard to make sure everything went off flawlessly, and left with our kitchen looking spotless. I couldn’t believe she pulled the whole thing off on her own. She was extremely easy to work with, and would email us back right away. We never felt uneasy working with her, and I trusted her completely. She has such attention for detail that makes working with her a breeze.
ABOVE AND BEYOND — I let Laura know that my boss (who happens to have very strict food allergies) would be attending the shower. Laura let me know which dishes she was making would work with her restrictions, and even offered to make an additional dish to make sure she had enough. This was so incredibly thoughtful and my boss was so grateful and impressed at this extra gesture.
If you are searching for a caterer who will be flexible to work with you for your event, Laura and Dish is your gal. She was the perfect match for our baby shower, and I am looking forward to working with her again and again!

Laura catered my daughter’s fifth birthday party and did an amazing job! My budget was limited, but she somehow managed to create a great menu for both kids and adults within my budget. My daughter had requested a snow theme, and Laura was wonderful and creative about incorporating the theme into the menu. Everyone raved about how cute everything looked and how great it tasted. Several guests asked for her contact info after, and I know Laura is already planning an event with at least one of them. Laura is a pleasure to work with, and I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Quality of food was very underwhelming, especially considering the price. Food came out quite slow as well.

If you are looking for a caterer that provides excellent customer service and amazing food-​this is the place for you. We had a French theme and wanted the food to compliment the theme. We also wanted it to be very classy.
Dish Catering more than exceeded our wildest expectations. The table looked great, complete with Eiffel Tower center pieces. All the guests raved about the food. The two gals she brought to help we’re delightful.
I can not say enough about Laura and Dish Catering. She provides plenty of food options, is professional and a pleasure to work with.

I hired Laura to cater for our Halloween party of over 30 people and 15 kids.
I had two concerns this time:
1. Laura asked me to hire two helpers through her. I usually have my own party helpers who come to set up before hands and clean up everything when the event is over. Her helpers were slightly more expensive but apparently worked well with her in the past. Since she prefers her own helpers, I agreed.
I was under the impression that I paid for these two helpers to help ME set up and clean up.
Turned out that the helpers were basically used as her catering assistants. They helped her cook and pass food around. Shouldn’t that be part of the catering cost? I didn’t realize that the $ 3000 catering package didn’t including assistant cooking staff…
The «cleaning up» after the party was very shotty and not comparable to what my helpers can do for lower price. I had to hire a cleaning crew to come back and clean the house and the backyard afterwards.
So it bothers me that I paid close to $ 3000 for catering plus $ 25 per hour per catering staff. This should have been included into the catering quote instead of extra $$.
2. The food — honestly, it was very average this time. Even something like kids chicken nuggets were rubbery with mushy batter and flavorless. Food came out very slowly — even with her two helpers (that I paid for, LOL). She did do some very cute designs for kids food and treats, thus the three star review.

Laura catered my parent’s 50^th wedding anniversary, and she did a wonderful job! Everything was fresh and delicious, and the little touches that she made, like custom cookies with adorable little messages on them, were adorable. She really went above and beyond to make my parent’s day as special as possible. I highly recommend her!

Dish Catering knows what they are doing! The food is always delicious and presented in a super chic way! They cater a LOT of small & large events and have the art down to a science! Their pricing is VERY reasonable and the quality FAR exceeds anyone’s expectations. I’ve worked with Laura for the last several years and am always surprised by the amazing dishes she creates! The guests are always blown away by her DELISH-​creations. I could not recommend her more! Seriously, choosing Dish is the way to go!

Laura just catered my bridal shower this past weekend, and everything was just delicious! All of the food was a surprise for me, and I loved EVERY item, from the adorably decorated sugar cookies and pie pops, to the gigantic meatball sliders and prosciutto-​wrapped peaches. The food was yummy, creative, and made with love. Everyone at the shower was amazed by her work and SO excited that the cleanup would be easy since no one had to cook! You won’t go wrong with Laura’s professionalism and passion for food!

Dish Catering is a very verrrrry classy boutique catering company here in LA. I simply cannot say enough good things about Laura, and the delectable food she puts out at her events. Being a wedding and event photographer, I’ve had the good fortune of tasting her fabulous food at a few events over the years. I’ve appreciated her catering artistry at both large-​scale parties, and small, intimate ones. It’s always top notch. The quality and presentation of her food… the bar setups, and cocktails she presents… even the hors d’œuvre’s! — Exquisite. I highly recommend Dish.
