The Spot Gourmet Cafe Catering

We recently planned a dinner party at my home in the Miracle Mile. Because of concerns about Covid-19, we changed the guest list several times and ultimately ended-up turning the evening into a Zoom dinner. As a result, the menu had to be revised more than once and the food assembled for multiple homes. Throughout all the changes, Vanessa and her team at The Spot were incredibly patient and kind. Our variously-located guests absolutely loved the food. We are so appreciative. The Spot turned a complicated situation into a lovely success.

Absolutely delicious food! I had the Pesto Salmon and the salmon was fresh and perfectly cooked and the pesto topping had a little crunch to it and complemented the salmon perfectly. I also had the roasted vegetable quinoa salad with dried cranberries, almonds, feta, and it was so flavorful with little bites of sweetness and bits of crunch from lightly cooked carrots. There are 3 shaded tables out front or order to go. Prices are reasonable and the food is locally sourced and couldn't be more fresh. Definitely try this place.

Stay away from this one! Food is poor quality and service unprofessional. Not even close to value for the money.I should have known something was wrong when I talked to one of the owners who told me the website I looked at to determine my order had been out of service for years. Their site (which is still up) allows you to look at all menu items and compile your order, put in all your billing, but then just won 't process. Eventually I placed my order for my work event by phone, following the advice of the owner on portions for my guest count. When the order arrived, the platters were sloppy (chicken skewers had been sliding all over so the platter looked filthy), and the vegetables were cut in large, chunky uneven portions. It all looked very unprofessional. It was also clear that things had been out in their car for some time. The stuffed mushrooms were literally tiny button mushrooms! So the order size recommended to me sat in the middle of the warming tray looking sadly too small (and they lasted for literally 2 minutes). Each guest got one tiny button mushroom. Ridiculous! The final straw was paying extra for disposable plates, cups and silverware, which I was assured looked like glass or crystal but were actually plastic. They forgot all of that and had to go back to the shop to get some. What they brought back were paper plates you could buy at a Vons. I had to pay even more to have my assistant run to Party City to pick up some items. This was a RIP-OFF! No follow-up or apology. Not even a refund for the plates and utensils.

The Spot catered our moving party and they did a great job. The food was delicious and we got compliments! I would use them again but I moved to San Luis Obispo!

The Spot catered my fathers funeral. Their attention to detail kindness and overall quality of service was beyond expectations. It was raining and they helped quests in the house, swept leaves from a corner of the roof when it started to leak seriously and under the pouring rain) Chris Adams was amazing, calm kind and always thinking ahead. Oh, and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. I can't say enough. Other than to say that The Spot Gourmet is my caterer moving forward. I would not even consider going elsewhere. They fixed anything that could've gone wrong and made if perfect. Thank you !!!!
