Dear Kelly:
On behalf of the Berkeley High School Athletic Fund, I would like to express my sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of three beautiful and delicious gourmet salads to our Berkeley High School Athletic Fund Golf Tournament (May 7, 2010). Usually men seldom notice salad, but they were absolutely raving about yours! Never seen men dash for second helpings on salads ... you provided the perfect amount for the group.

The tournament was a success and the revenues generated will help supplement Berkeley High School’s many athletic programs. We are fortunate to have your enthusiasm and support. Strong community involvement in our public schools is a key to excellence. Your support for the athletics program adds to the overall quality of Berkeley High and marks the difference between a good and a great school.

Best regards,

Kelly,
OMG … Our Marketing folks in for the big meeting today totally scarffed the pizzas (they are still in the conference room making "yummy" noises). There weren't even any crumbs left; very little salad and desserts … forget about it … no way was I getting between the Marketing folks and the cookies. I don't get combat pay!

Thank you for such a great job for us this week. Again, thank you and I will be calling next week with yet another order. Have a joyous Easter!

Hi Kelly,
Many thanks to you and your team for providing us lunch yesterday for our Town Hall!! As always, the presentation was FABULOUS and the food DELICIOUS!!

Please know that I appreciate you and will continue to call on you for our catering needs!

All the best,
Philly
Ps - the Mint Lemonade was a HIT!! Everyone loved it!!



Dear Kelly!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your services last week! Everything was really remarkable, and the faculty and participants were extremely pleased with the food choices, presentation and quality that you and your team provided.

I myself can't say enough about you (I'll try to get a review up on Yelp or something when I get a breather!), Tanya and Philip. I wish I could hire you all, ALL the time! I'm still salivating over that pulled pork sandwich, the fried egg salad and the pumpkin pies (I don't even LIKE pumpkin pie), not to mention those infused waters and the peach and pear jam (which I am guarding for myself). You have such a high standard, and your presentations are just beautiful!

Thanks again and I hope to see you all in the very near future (or perhaps at the Alameda Antique faire).

OH MY Gosh! It was sooo perfect! thank you so much!

Good morning Kelly,
It was great meeting you yesterday. I received rave reviews on both of the lunches and the coffee service over the past two days. Kudos to you and your group for the wonderful food and excellent customer service! Looking forward to doing more business with you.
Thank you so much!

Dear Kelly,
Michael arrived at the golf course with the delicious lunches yesterday and they were snapped right up and devoured! Several people commented on the quality of the bread and creativity of the choices. Thank you very much for offering such sumptuous fare for such an economical price! It helped us to keep our costs down and maximize the fundraising benefit of our golf tournament.

I hope we get an opportunity to meet in person. Thank you, Suzette, for connecting Blind Babies Foundation with Pacific Fine Food.

Best regards,

Hi Kelly ~
I received your voicemail, but it has been so busy I have not had a chance to get back to you. The luncheon was fabulous, the women who delivered it was great. I handed your card out to several people, they loved the food and the display. The large cupcake was a big hit, as was the salmon. Thank you so much for a great presentation and great food.

Good Morning Kelly!

WOW ~ last night's event was wonderful. The food was superb; Tonya, Suzette and Erin were perfection and everyone had a grand time. My youngest is thrilled, since she had a gourmet lunch packed today from the leftovers!

Seriously, my house does NOT look like I had a party last night. Bravo to your trio!

Gratefully,
Laurie

Thank you note from Nicolette & Dave - June 20, 2009 Wedding

Kelly –
My day was stress free thanks to the wonderful job Tanya and crew did at our wedding! They did a great job! The food was delicious – I can’t decide if the lasagna or the scalloped potatoes were the best part – I missed the cheese appetizers due to an outdoor photo session, my loss! Everything ram smoothly, tasted delicious, looked beautiful and everybody at Pacific Fine Food was calm, organized, efficient and friendly. I can’t imagine a better caterer. I will refer you to anyone and everyone! Your service, from the initial tasting to the last piece of cake served was spot on! Thank you for making a potentially stressful event into a wedding Dave and I could fully enjoy!

Thank you!
Nicolette

Ps – The Tri Tip was by far the best,
Dave

Hi Kelly,
The lunch was WONDERFUL and everyone loved it. That potato salad was AWESOME. I personally loved it, as well as the scones. The apple pockets were unbelieveable. I was glad to be able to make off with some stash to share with my folks. My dad is a huge apple pie, apple strudle guy. So thanks again, and I'll have another smaller order for you again in May. Tanya was GREAT and I was glad to meet with her.

You all did a WONDERFUL job. Firstly you all were a pleasure to work with and what a creative display of delicious tea fare! Ladies went nuts over the sandwiches which they said, "tea sandwiches" are usually really tiny and dry these are the Best" and the cookies passed with flying colors ! Loved that they were homemade and not those typical glazed flower cookies, the lemon and peanut ones were divine and different which was nice! So thank you again for a beautiful job. I am going to mention you in the newspaper and hopefully continued business will come your way. I will also tell Cathy Glazier, the hostess ,to use you again for next year's tea which will be at her house and seeing that you know the layout now that will make everything a breeze.

Hi Kelly,

Thank-you for everything. Your food is excellent as is the service. We do not have any other events planned at Garfield as of yet but will contact you if we are ever back in the area.

Cheers,

Kelly- you’re the Cutest Naughty Caterer! You’re amazing to bring so much to this event. I will work hard to drive business to you! Thank God there were potatoes left at the end!

Thank you so much!

Dear Kelly,

Charlie and I want to thank you, Tonya and the rest of the staff for the wonderful food, service, and support you provided for our wedding reception. Many of our guests comments on the professionalism of the staff, the delicious food, and the attractive tables. And several of them requested business cards with contact information – that’s always a good sign, isn’t it! You helped make the day a truly memorable one. Best wishes for a happy successful New Year,

Jeanne Thomas


Dear Kelly & Pacific Fine Food -
Thank you catering our wedding. The seafood menu was absolutely amazing and the crew did a marvelous job! Also, thank you for the resource book and magazine subscription. There is a lot of cool stuff in there to help us remodel. when we're ready. Thank you also for recommending Johnnie Bamont. He was fantastic!

Best wishes,
Nate & Jo


Dear Kelly,
I just want to express my utmost gratitude for the FANTASTIC job you did in catering Jeff and Christine's wedding 2 weeks ago. Jeff was so pleased that you took on the job, as he said you usually don't do weddings. He had the utmost confidence in you and now I can see why! We (both sides of the families) received SO MANY compliments on the delicious food and friendly, professional staff. You really went out of your way to provide outstanding service all evening. I'm only sorry I didn't seek you out personally to let you know how wonderful everything was. In all the excitement of the evening, I was rather pre-occupied! Thanks again for helping to make the evening so special for all of us. (I'm sure it was as much work to service as your usual 1,000 people!) I only wish we could recommend you to everyone we know-being in San Diego wouldn't really provide many clients for you J

Take care.
Warmly,
Barb Anderson



Hi Kelly,
I'd just like to thank you and your team for doing such a wonderful job with our wedding! From the flowers, to the bar, to the music to the great food, your impact on the wedding was above and beyond!! If you ever need a recommendation please don't hesitate to contact us!

Thanks again,
Jeff & Christina Anderson



Hi Kelly,
We want to thank you for your services at the memorial. The food was great, presentation beautiful and your servers were friendly. The rose bush is breath taking. We will cherish the memories for years to come.

Sincerely,
Sid & Kristin Nielson


Dear Kelly,
Thank you so much for the amazing food at our wedding reception! We received many compliments on it. My family loved the Jordan almonds - what a great idea! Everything looked beautiful + went smoothly thanks to your hard work & attention to detail!

Many thanks,
Kim & Jeff


Hi Kelley,
Well, it has been WAY too long since my birthday bash in May so please excuse my delay in writing. Even after several months, I can still conjure up the memory of the excellent Hawaiian themed spread you assembled for my guests. Everything tasted great and looked perfect. I got lots and lots of positive comments from the guests, even before they found their way into the signature drinks at St George's. I tell anyone who asks about a catering recommendation to give you a call. I certainly hope some of them do since I am confident they will end up with a top-notch, delicious and fun experience with you and your crew.

Best Regards,
Jay Cherrie


Dear Kelly,
A personal note to thank you for the great catering and presentation at our "cowboy" birthday party last Sunday. It was really fun! Your wooden stumps served as great displays to your lovely food. Everything was great. Your servers were great. Lots of folks asked for business cards - so hopefully more requests will come your way.

Thanks again!
Bonnie Larson


Kelly,
I'm not sure if you know this, but Wednesday is my last day at the Port. I'm retiring (after 28 years here!). I really want you to know what a pleasure it has been working with you. Your catering is unparalled, and your personality is perfect for the job. You really found your niche! We may run into each other from time to time, but again, I want to thank you for EVERYTHING!

Cheryl



Thank you so much for providing such FANTASTIC food for our 2 day event!
Everyone LOVED the food! We were really impressed with the packagin style. And the cupcakes with pansies were a BIG hit :)

I really appreciate your flexibility with adding additional lunches at the last minute and your willingness to deliver to Fremont on the first day. That really helped us out!

Thank you!
Kristin J Hoffman



Thank you again for everything. The food was fabulous and the staff was excellent. Also, thank you for recommending Johnnie. He was amazing on sax. It was truly a wonderful day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Nate and Jo



I don't know how we survived without U before...... you make these tasks for me so easy...I use to dread setting these events up because the caterers had no creativity, style or presentation. It was also the same thing, nothing different. Anyway, everyone loves your food & treats :)

Kelly,

Thank you so much. The lunch was wonderful! Kudos to you and Pacific Fine Food Catering. Everything was great! A special thanks to Cheryl. She was timely, gracious and she brought us delicious food. My personal favorite was the pasta salad. It was screaming. Re: the invoice, I will call you and give you my P-card number. I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

w/gratitude,
Joan



Kelly, Kudos for the lunch. I received several compliments on the food from our guests. My staff almost never gives positive reinforcement. One person said it was the best box lunch he had ever had. He and I both had the salmon nicoise as did my boss. The birthday boy enjoyed his special lunch with ribbon and the recognition. Thank you. I will definitely use your service whenever I have an event to cater.

Rose Kelly



Dear Kelly,
First let me say how happy i was to see you this morning - it's been too long in between! Once again, your food was absolutely perfect at all four meals you served. Your unique presentation, attention to the smallest details and your dedication to serving healthy, TASTY food was truly appreciated by all. May i also say, and please share this with your staff, your staff is consistently the most professional, thoughtful and efficient i've ever seen. Some of the meeting participants made a point of letting me know how much they appreciated the nearly stealth presence of your staff as they transitioned the servings in a very tight space, amidst sensitive and intense meeting discussion. Kudos to all!

Please know that i continue to share the good news about Pacific Fine Food Catering with all my colleagues and executives here at Kaiser, letting them know that you provide the best food and service while observing our commitment to "green" meetings and delivering it all at terrifically competitive prices.

With genuine gratitude and a happy tummy,

Dear Kelly,
Thank you again for the wonderful food you provided our group during our tour of Distillery No.209. Not only was everything supremely delicious, but it all paired so well with the gin cocktails. Well done! We all greatly appreciated having you there as a most welcome part of our day of gin discovery. Thank you for bringing extra food to our band at Forbidden Island, that was a very special treat and you made some musicians very happy! I look forward to your culinary talents again soon. Please let me know when you’re next in Napa Valley as I’d be happy to show you our winery. Take care.

It went great. I was a little afraid of the new location and being in a hangar. We are always in a convention type setting, but other than a few bathroom complaints the students seemed fine. Thanks for working with us and all the great accommodations. Good luck to your business in 2007. May you have a fabulous year.

Hey girls!

Some of you got a chance to taste the food from today's caterer for the Regional Presidents and National Leadership Team meeting. Here is the link to their website. Her name is Kelly Kearney.

The NLT & RPG loved the choices Jayne made on today's menu and can I say, SO DID I !!!! It was a low calorie menu with all of the taste of a high calorie meal. One executive couldn't believe the nonfat yogurt was actually nonfat. And the low fat peach coffee cake was unreal!!!!!!!!

Now most of you know I don't like low fat or fat free anything, and with most of us watching what we eat these days, I can say this caterer lets you feel like you're cheating without cheating. If you like, give them a shout and let them cater your next event.

So keep keeping track of your calories and your carbs. Be fit, be healthy and keep thriving.

Hi Kelly,
Thanks again for the amazing meals! The Greek buffet was outstanding! In the evaluations at the end of the day there were a lot of participants raving about how good the food was. Also, thank you for putting so much personal effort into making a great meal, from the fresh herbs directly from your garden to the fresh baked cookies and desserts that you provided. It is always a pleasure to hire Pacific Fine Foods when we are in the Bay area.
