Fantastic Central Coast Fare!

The central coast is synonymous with tri-tip, and Stein's does it better than most. They are no one-trick pony though. Everything on the menu at our wedding got high praise from our guests. The apps were amazing. The chicken and tri-tip were to die for. The mac-n-cheese was a truly transcendent experience. This was cook out food elevated to the fanciest of feels. Hats off to Chef Brian and his team.

Along the way, Nancy worked tirelessly to help get our menu right, communicated regularly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted and keep it within budget. She was everything a great wedding vendor should be.

We cannot recommend Stein's highly enough!

Phenomenal Food

Steins Catering is a 10/10 recommendation. Our guests have not stopped talking about the food. The food was piping hot when it was served. The quality of the food for 170 people was just as good as it was when we did our tasting for 2. The service was outstanding and their staff was so professional. Nancy and Brian are the sweetest people and made our catering experience such a breeze. They know how to make the customer experience one you'll remember.

Simply amazing food and service!

Steins Catering was nothing short of amazing as they supported our wedding celebration! Our filet mignon, salmon, bacon wrapped dates, caprese skewers and Nancy’s special salad were absolutely delicious (our guests raved) and their communication up to the event was outstanding. (No surprise as the owner is a CIA trained chef.)

They hire hard-working, professional staff. They are all passionate about their craft and they are consummate professionals. Obviously, We could not recommend them more highly!
