Above & Beyond Catering

I cannot sing high enough praises for Above & Beyond Catering! They are truly incredible! Such a dream to work with. They always present food in the most appealing and artistic ways. they have great menus at very competitive prices. I have used them for several work events and parties. I will continue to have them on speed dial as my go-​to caterer. Thank you Above & Beyond!

We love Above and Beyond catering here at Salesforce! We have had an excellent experience so far. Anna and her husband are efficient and communicative. Phillip came to set up for breakfast and lunch for 150 people in under 30 min. He was polite, had a great attitude, and I was able to sit back and know that everything was taken care of. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. We are looking forward to many more meals with the wonderful Above and Beyond catering team!

We just celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday catered by these guys. Chantel and her team rock! Phillip was a one man show who did it all!!! Whether you have a party for 15 to 150 people. These are your guys. Organized and going above and beyond like their name. I had forgotten a few ingredients for the bar– limes– lemons etc. Phillip went back and got me some and bags of ice to ensure we didn’t have any issues. Just great!!! Love them.

***WARNING*** YOU WILL BE AMAZED
THE BEST CATERER IN TOWN!!! Don’t waste your time and energy looking for another caterer !!!
Anna and Anthony have been nothing but amazing! I work at a big tech company and they serves all my catering needs.
They have come through on all my catering needs big or small, regular lunches to Executive presentations they do it all! Right pricing delicious healthy options, and always on time.

Awful customer service. Never even tried the food because their below-​grade customer service precluded the chance to get that far in the process. I called for a quote to cater a wedding. THREE WEEKS later, after 2 follow-​up emails and a phone call, they finally returned my email and told me they were no longer available for the event. To string a potential client along for three weeks is completely unprofessional and inconsiderate.

Chantel is a goddess! I called her and she talked through a small wine event I put on for my company. She was such a dynamo, she took great care of us. She met me on-​site before the event to make sure things were well planned out. The food and wine were a big hit, and she made sure it went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend this company –and Chantel specifically!

I used Above and Beyond last night for an event and it was nothing short of SPECTACULAR! The bartender and service staff was professional, and attentive. We had around 50 guests, and they all mentioned that the food was AMAZING! I will definitely hire Above and Beyond again for our next event!

Great service, great reviews from all our guests that commented that the food was excellent.
The bartenders/​waiters are personable and friendly and make the night an even greater success as you can relax and focus on your guests at hand.
I would no doubt book them again for another party in our home.
Verity.

Above and Beyond did the catering for our family Christmas Party. My personal favorite is Anthony’s sundried tomato cream pasta with shrimp, the goat cheese bruchetta, and the duck over polenta. Their pastries are also a hit! They are absolutely professional and efficient with their services. Great people to work with and great food!

Above & Beyond catered my wedding and they did a great job! After reading and hearing horror stories about caterers not delivering what was promised, skimping on the food, etc etc and after meeting with several caterers who would not even talk to me when I told them our budget, I was so grateful to have had the fortune of working with Chef Anthony and his partners at Above & Beyond. The food the day of the wedding was superb, the service was fantastic and gracious, and Chef Anthony treated us (the bride and groom) so well! I can’t say enough about how much I love them for making the wedding day wonderful and stress-​free!!! Above & Beyond Rocks!

I was introduced to the talented team of Above and Beyond by an enthusiastic customer who highly recommended them –I run a skincare practice, and appreciate myself customer dedication, potent freshness and aesthetic aspects in any service/​product to be experienced! and had to share my feedback with you all: they craft amazing decadent food, while providing impeccable customer service.
On one specific occasion, an art show/​skincare promotional event, Above & Beyond flavor experts delivered an empirical experience for the taste buds ! while the artwork and the skincare samples satisfied the other senses… «Bravo».

I’ve used Above and Beyond for many of our company parties, Monday Lunches, Roof Top BBQ’s, etc…
We’ve had nothing but GREAT reviews from our staff. When they see the menu for Monday lunch and realize it’s from «Anthony» A&B Catering their eyes perk up and they all get very excited. Here’s an example of what we order from Anthony for our paid Monday lunches.
Chicken & Spinach in White Wine Sauce
Linguine w/​Shrimp, Sun-​Dried Tomatoes &artichoke (Vegetarian Option)
Wild Mushroom Risotto
Baby Mixed Green Salad w/​Cherry Tomatoes
Grilled Medley of Vegetables
Cookies
Brownies
We actually had this brought in just yesterday by A&B catering and it was a smash hit! There’s alot of caterers out there, BUT A&B is the ONLY caterer who has come in and mix fresh herbs into the dishes right before serving, they take the time to ensure your full satisfaction. All the other caterers have this «here’s your food pay us» mentality. But Anthony with A&B takes the time out of his day to talk to his clients and always has a «Client is always right» mind set.
We had the Japanese Delegation come in a few weeks ago and his food was a smash hit «yet again». The meeting went off with out a hitch. He even brought in China, Linens, serving dishes, silverware, etc…
Above and Beyond like the other post mentions that he has it all. We had a rood top BBQ for the company to treat the employee’s as well as watch the Blue Angels do their test runs. Anthony brought all of the seating for the event and helped set up the food and the event as well. I forgot to mention that the roof top was exactly that a roof top, with Anthony’s help we turned it into a restaraunt on a roof!
Above and Beyond Catering has wonderful food, perfect timing, and will work with you. If you don’t have any ideas for your event, call Anthony and he’ll suggest something that will suit your needs!

My experience was 180 degrees different than the previous reviewer. We used Above and Beyond for our wedding of about 85 people. The place we held the wedding at, Fort Mason, has a challenging set-​up (i.e. no working kitchen), but Above and Beyond handled it well. Also making their lives more difficult is the fact that my wife and I planned the whole event ourselves, buying the liquor, making centerpieces, arranging the ceremony etc. So they had to deal with us amateurs as well.
The food they served (grilled salmon with mango salsa and risotto cakes), was delicious and matched what they served us during our tasting. Chef Anthony was there for the initial set-​up and food service and then left everything in the capable hands of his head chef. I have no problem with that at all. Anthony also made a special point of personally serving myself and my bride appetizers, seeing that we had been too busy with guests to eat. The hors’ douerves generated especially good compliments. Pesto mushroom caps, chicken satay, and legitimately terrific crab cakes, not those overly breaded kind. They had the tables set-​up beautifully and the food came quickly and efficiently
Speaking of staffing, the folks they had working the bar and serving were also terrific. Very professional, exceptionally nice, and very efficient. We didn’t have a coordinator, so when things that we set-​up didn’t go exactly to plan (like running low on beer, or guests sitting at the wrong tables, etc) they handled it all in stride, and we worked together easily. Of special note was John Timothy, who managed the staff and literally went «Above and Beyond» in working with us on the planning. His experience helped us avoid a lot of pitfalls and made for a much better wedding than we could have had otherwise. With John’s help we also used Above and Beyond for our rentals (folding chairs for outside, a white wedding arch, and all the plates, silverware etc.)
In summary I can highly recommend Above and Beyond and though I’m only getting married once (!) we’ll look for opportunities to use them again in the future.

i was really disappointed with this catering company.
when you see a name like «above and beyond» you would think that they would really do what it takes to make your event a hit! — unfortunately, that was not the case.
my office hired this company to cater our holiday party and when they came in to give us samples of their food it was SO GOOD — and very misleading. now i understand how food made in small batches is always going to taste better than food made for 100 people — but still! the food for the actual event was just okay. everything lacked flavor. they also didn’t make the non-​alcoholic punch and drinks. i had to scurry back to the office to grab whatever leftover juice boxes we had from the company picnic we had had a couple months before! they totally skimped on the desserts too!
the owner/​chef of the catering company even left not even half way into the event! what kind of service is that? then he left his partner in charge who skulked by the dessert table demanding that everyone was only allowed one dessert … really really really bad service…
let’s just say, we won’t be using this company again.
