About

Taste! has been serving finely crafted eats throughout the Central Coast since 1999. Our food philosophy is simple. We believe that food should be quality to start, adulterated little, therefor we've always embraced a farm to table mentality. We locally source our ingredients whenever possible and make it a priority to get to know our purveyors. We have a bounty of experience with a wide range of clientele from coorporate events to beautiful barn weddings. We love what we do! We put passion and thought into everything we can and our ultimate goal is for our clients to have events filled with amazing food and service that live on in wonderful memories by all their guests. We would be honored to be part of your special day!

The BEST food and catering

Taste did an amazing job catering our wedding and exceeded our expectations. Everything from the staff to the food was incredible. The appetizers passed around during cocktail hour were a huge hit and the mac-n-cheese bar and chicken entrée were favorites of ours. Highly recommend!

The best catering decision you will make!

My husband and I selected Taste! to cater our wedding, and it was the best decision we made! Kate was absolutely fantastic to work with, helping us curate the best meal for our guests, allowing us a couple different occasions to sample different appetizer + meal options, and just overall being extremely flexible and understanding with our ever-changing guest count. Kate helped answer a lot of my questions too on just general wedding related topics, helping me above and beyond just catering.

Given that our wedding was going on during the surge of COVID Delta variant, we had a lot of guests drop out of our wedding in the couple weeks leading up to the big day. I'm seriously so impressed with how professional and easy to work with Kate and her team were during all of it, allowing me to maintain a bit of sanity as I stressing with the fluctuating guest count.

The food itself during the wedding was incredible, I had so many of my guests come up to me after dinner or reach out after the wedding asking who we had to cater. We opted for the buffet option, and selected our menu to include the French Cut chicken breast, Butternut Squash Ravioli, Scalloped Potatoes, Green Beans, House Salad, and Roasted Brussels with Goat Cheese...all of which were top notch. For passed appetizers during cocktail hour, we did passed smoked sausages, wonton crisps, stuffed mushrooms and a large charcuterie, antipasto & artisan cheese board (see images). I can't talk up the food enough - it was seriously fantastic.

Lastly - the Taste! staff is just all around great. From serving and clearing plates, to bartending, they were all really wonderful to work with.

The YUM's and joys of working with Taste

We had a wonderful experience with Taste Craft Eatery! The coordinator Kate was very professional and responsive; any questions or concerns I had were quickly addressed, even the e-mails with a 1000 questions and my horrible indecisiveness, she was always so resourceful and patient. The staff on-site was friendly and unremarkable and did an excellent job cleaning up the venue after the wedding. Kate also helped me put together a wonderful menu, and assisted me with decisions on the dishes, and bar menu options, thank you! The food itself was absolutely fantastic and got rave reviews from our guests (still do, especially from Grandma!). Chef Whitney is such a gem, we had an appetizer idea that she brought to life and still makes our mouth water at just the thought of it. My favorite food is mac n cheese and really all I cared about food wise at our wedding, was actually my deciding factor for working with Taste, SO GOOD! The overall cost was so reasonable, we are incredibly lucky to have found Taste! Kate, Chef Whitney and the whole Taste team are amazing to work with and wish we lived closer so could work with them more or even visit the restaurant more! We would absolutely recommend Taste Craft Eatery as a caterer and look forward to our next trip to the restaurant.

All Traditions All Traditions Wedding Planners

Delicious food, beautiful presentation, professional staff...these are the many reasons that I recommend In Good Taste to my couples seeking a caterer. This company is VERY service-oriented and has a "can do" attitude. The chef's culinary skills are amazing. While IGT has wonderful menu options to choose from, they can also create any dish you desire. I have had couples with many different unique ethnic needs and they have always been "wowed" by this catering company's ability to create these unusual dishes.
