D’lish Catering

We used D’Lish for both our rehearsal dinner BBQ and our wedding catering. The food was outstanding and working with Lee and Marsy was a pleasure. The service was also perfect, all the staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, the wedding went off perfectly! I would highly recommend D’Lish!

The other reviews are spot on! If you’re looking for a catering company /​private chef in Truckee, CA I would highly recommend Chef Lee and the D’Lish team. We hired them for a 6 person dinner party to celebrate our wedding. Chef Lee was incredibly professional and prompt and the food was fantastic — I literally woke up the next morning and snuck into the kitchen for a leftover carrot cake cupcake (literally the best cupcake I’ve ever had, might I add)! Thank you Chef Lee — truly a job well done! Cheers.

D’lish catered my son’s rehearsal dinner for 70 at our home in Kings Beach. It was absolutely perfect. The food was delicious (a wonderful BBQ buffet with a great variety of flavor) and the service was gracious and friendly. The set up and cleanup was efficient and thorough, first turning my house into an happy, efficient restaurant and then sweeping through to remove it all as though it hadn’t happen! Marsey helped advance coordination and was very accommodating, and DeeDee ran an amazing operation the night of. I highly recommend D’lish… and hope I have an occasion to use them in the future!

I went to a family wedding last weekend catered by D’Lish Catering. I am a wedding planner myself in the SF Bay Area and was SO impressed by their professionalism, service and food! The manager and staff was smiling the entire time, they seem truly happy working and it shows in their product. We were served mai tais, wine and appetizers just after the ceremony concluded. The bacon wrapped dates were AMAZING and the shrimp gazpacho shooter was yummy, fresh and the perfect amount of spicy. For dinner we were served a seasonal salad, I have a few allergies and they were nice enough to make me one without dressing and the toppings I can’t eat. It was still super yummy even with my edits! The main course came family style. We had fish and steak with veggies and fingerling potatoes. Everything I tried was so yummy. Thank you for the excellent night! You made the wedding simply perfect!

We used D“Lish to cater for our rehearsal dinner at Meek’s Bay. They were incredible! They had a wedding that day to cater but they accommodated our group and dropped off the food right on time. The food was exceptional! They were well staffed, very nice and setup quickly. They offered to pick up our dishes later that evening and again arrived right on time and broke everything down very quickly. We had such a wonderful experience and the guests were raving about the food!

Thank you, Chef Lee! We had an incredible, delicious, plentiful holiday dinner party last night thanks to your services. Not only was the food incredible, but you delivered and set up everything so we had a stress-​free evening. Special dietary requests were not a problem for you, and you made our casual party for 14 feel like an extravagant blow-​out for our guests. I have witnessed your awesome services on a large scale at area weddings, and it’s nice to know you can take care of the small parties with as much attention to detail.

We had the most wonderful experience with D’Lish for our September wedding. They were incredibly responsive, flexible, organized and dedicated to making our wedding exactly what we imagined (and it was!).
The chef, Lee was asking, and worked hard to make the food exactly to our liking. He was very open to taking suggestions about new dishes and tweaks to the ones we tried. We heard multiple times that our food was some of the best wedding food guests had ever had. Our cake was delicious as well.
Marsy was a fabulous day-​of coordinator, but she was really so much more than that! She was available to answer our questions, recommend other vendors and support us throughout the planning process as well. She and DeeDee were there early on the day-​of our wedding to set up and make sure everything went smoothly.
Our wedding could not have gone more smoothly, and my husband and I keep saying that we think choosing D’Lish was the best decision we made in the planning process.

If you are looking for a great caterer that can take care of everything, look no further than D’Lish!
I recently worked with D’Lish for the first time at the Fairwinds Estate in Kings Beach. My clients and I originally hired D’Lish because of their experience at a somewhat challenging estate venue. At the time of our booking, the company was going through a transition in ownership. We had some initial trepidations about working with a company in transition, but Marsy (their sales manager) put us at ease right away and made us feel confident and comfortable throughout the planning process. She was always upbeat, helpful, and very responsive to our questions and needs.
On the wedding day, I was completely blown away by the level of service and professionalism that D’Lish delivered. The new owner and head chef, Lee, was on site for the duration of the event as were Marsy, DeeDee and their incredible staff.
I have worked in the food and hospitality industry in Tahoe for many years and I have to say I was amazed at the dedication and professionalism of the serving staff. They were willing to help me whenever I needed them and they took great care of all the guests at the wedding.
Not only was the service impeccable, but the presentation of the meal was spectacular! I was so impressed with how beautiful each plate was and how much care went into each and every dish. It’s obvious that Lee takes great pride in his work. D’Lish’s menus are extensive, but they are also willing to customize a meal just for you. The dinner provided for my client, a duet meal of New York Steak and Mahi Mahi, was absolutely fantastic.
Lastly, I want to mention that we also ordered the wedding cake through D’Lish. Not only was it delicious, it was simply stunning in design. The bride was very particular about the cake and D’Lish took all of her wishes into consideration when creating the cake. It turned out perfectly!
I so enjoyed working with D’Lish and I will absolutely recommend them to future clients.
Thank you D’Lish for helping me put on a truly flawless event! It was great fun working with you all!

A friend, my girlfriend and I were in the midst of hiking a 300-​mile section of the Pacific Crest Trail when we detoured into Tahoe City to check out the lake. We went to Burrito Window for a cheap lunch and it was so incredible! They put this delicious slaw in the burritos that is incredible, especially when paired with the fresh green salsa.
We recommend the shrimp burrito and the veggie burrito! So great and great prices!

We happened upon this place purely by accident. It’s in a poor location by the go, f course but that doesn’t seem to matter. Local hang out for sure. I had chicken tacos and the rest of the group had carne asada. The wait was ridiculously long but it was worth it. Very good, authentic tasting food. Would go again.

This review is primarily for the Burrito Window that D’Lish operates. The burritos they serve are affordable, tasty and nice-​sized. The tortilla is delicious and the fillings even better. There are picnic tables available outside for a casual lunch setting. I think it’s cash only.

Jen made our wedding an incredible memory for us. She provided MUCH more than a caterer, but even on the food alone, we would have been thrilled. On top of that, Jen provided day-​of coordination and ran our rehearsal. So many of our details at the last minute would have fallen through if Jen and her team hadn’t have come to the rescue and made everything happen from hanging photos to setting up our welcome table. They helped set up the event in the crunch, and she made the event something I didn’t worry about once the day started. She’s a bride’s dream.
We loved the food & our guests still talk about the hors d’oeuvres. Along with our venue, it was the best decision we made. Thanks!

D’Lish and it’s owner, Jen, were hired to cater our wedding, and be our weekend wedding coordinator.
As a weekend coordinator:
Jen was amazingly calm and in control all weekend. She was very helpful with our rehearsal and figuring out some last minute ceremony decisions. She set up all our decorations exactly how I’d asked for the wedding. On wedding day she was orchestrating so many elements with an air of calmness. Just before my wedding began, a big weather scare blew through our venue. Jen maneuvered through the challenges beautifully. She continued this practice through the outdoor ceremony and dinner, sometimes dodging a lone rain drop or two. Mother Nature gave her wind guests that upset flower arrangements and table settings and Jen remained calm and in control so we could have our special evening. We can’t thank her or the enough for that.
Towards the end of the evening, Jen managed to get everyone into shuttle buses when and where they needed to go (North & South Tahoe). Jen made sure other vendors were organized and in the know throughout the entire evening too. As a result, we had the perfect evening that we has hoped to enjoy… and did we ever!
Regarding the catering:
The food and beverage service was organized, and flawless. Our seated meal, multiple bars, cocktail hour on a different part of the premise… everything was flawless. I heard so many rave reviews on the food, the look. the everything! Many saying this was the best wedding food they ever had! I thoroughly enjoyed the apps and my meal too. Oh and the cake — OMG, incredible!
I’ve been to many weddings, and D’Lish by far is one of the top companies in their field of catering. Jen is an outstanding wedding coordinator as well. Hiring her and/​or her team is the smartest move you can make on behalf of your wedding day (outside of saying «I DO» of course!).

Jen and her staff did an incredible job with out June 2012 wedding in Tahoe City. She is a dream to work with – totally responsive and she just exudes experience. We actually ended up asking Jen for advice/​tips with other aspects of our wedding since she clearly knows Tahoe and weddings! She accommodated every obnoxious little request while helping us to save money whenever possible.
The food and service on the day of were fantastic and several guests commented on how much they enjoyed their meals. One thing we particularly appreciated was that unlike several other Tahoe based catering companies we interviewed, D’lish passes appetizers until guests stop eating them – they don’t «budget» you 1 or two (or 1.5 – seriously!) appetizers per guest. They also take care of all your tabletop rentals and will take care of ALL of your rentals for a reasonable price. This really took a burden off my husband and I as we planned an estate wedding and had no idea how much of each item we needed.
Basically, hiring D’lish is investing in their experience, expertise and professionalism. I interviewed almost every caterer in the greater Tahoe area and knew within minutes that the service I would receive from Jen and her team would far exceed that from any other catering company. I suggest giving her a call and suspect you will come to the same conclusion.

The best catering company in Tahoe the food and cake are all wonderful .We used d’lish for our daughters wedding and people were just raving about the food and the service .I would use d’lish for all my catering needs !

I have been working with D’lish Catering for over 5 years and Jen and Derek are incredible! They consistently provide excellent food and service. You don’t have to worry about waiting around forever to be served because they are efficient and fast. Their staff is really professional, friendly and go above and beyond in making each event perfect. Jen is a doll to work with and super helpful with all your catering and menu needs. If you are having a special event or wedding in Lake Tahoe you should definitely check them out because they are the best in the business!
They also have a burrito window which serves really fast yummy burritos and Jen makes spectacular wedding cakes!!!

You have to be «in the know» to find the Burrito Window. But once you know it will become your go to lunch spot. Try the carnitas burrito… it is superb. Fast, friendly, and affordable. Look for the crowd next to the thrift store!

I cannot say enough good things about D’lish! I used them for my wedding last September and I was beyond impressed with the way everything turned out. Jen really went out of her way to make sure our day was perfect and the cake she made was wonderful.
We were married at the Gatekeepers Museum, which has nothing except the location and restrooms available. We needed everything from food to rentals and D’lish is able to help with everything. Being from the Bay Area, it was the best decision we made to have them handle everything and was worth every penny. Jen implemented every detail I requested and set up the location better than I could have imagined.
They coordinated all the rentals including a giant tent for the reception and made recommendations when needed (which was very helpful since we were dealing with a blank canvas so to speak) as well as provided the staff, food, cake, etc. We had a plated dinner and served our guests filet mignon, chicken and lamb. Everyone said the food was great.
I would highly recommend D’lish!

This place is one of the best places to get a cheap and quick lunch in Tahoe City. Although they are a catering business, they offer the burrito window during the warmer months. The burrito window is a great place to get a chicken, pork, and beef burrito or tacos. You pay cash only and receive a good meal at an affordable costs.

D’Lish catered the wedding that we attended in Tahoe this weekend. I thought that they did a fabulous job and definitely added a lot to my enjoyment of the afternoon/​evening.
Immediately following the ceremony, staff were ready with drinks and passed appetizers. My favorites were the fig and goat cheese on toasts and the ahi ceviche. We were well fed and never had to hunt down any of the appetizers.
The dinner was served on a buffet. I had the caesar salad, salmon, mashed potatoes, vegetables on polenta and green beans. Everything was very tasty, definitely well exceeded my normally low expectations of wedding food.
To top it off, the staff were very nice, comfortable and got everyone wined and dined quickly.
