Gather & Grub

Chef Lainie/G&G catered our Oakland High School class of 1970 reunion picnic up at Robert's Park for 80+ alums. They helped make it a wonderful event with sliders, several salads, all the fixin's, drinks and desert and had plenty for everyone and within our budget! G&G helped make this a great event!

Lainie and co. have catered a number of events I have had the good fortune to attend over the years. I have been consistently impressed with the flexibility of the menu items (appealing to everyone from meat eaters to vegans), the professionalism and efficiency of their setup and teardown, and the overall pleasantness of interacting with Lainie on all business and logistical matters. The food is always fresh and delicious and there is always a little bit of an unexpected surprise: there were *pickled vegetables* in my last meal! A piece of Baklava found its way into my Mediterranean feast. I would highly recommend G&G to anyone needing a broad range of catered events handled without any stress or frustration.

I once again want to come back and sing the praises of Lainie and her crew at Gather & Grub. She just help create a pandemic-safe lunch for our football team's end-of-the-season banquet and we were so pleased. Lainie, a parent herself, understands how squeezed we are on these budgets and she is so adept and doing all she can to work within that, still producing good food. She really CARES that we have a good experience while also uber-conscious that we are all on shoe-strings here. She comes in, rolls up her sleeves and creates a beautiful spread, many times in unknown and questionable spaces! And always with a sense of spunk, humor, and style! We love Gather & Grub!

All I can say is "WOW". Well, I could say a lot more, but I'll keep it brief. These folks have created something much more than just a business. It is a service, in the highest possible regard. One can feel, taste and experience the love that goes into their craft. They were so gracious, passionate and caring of us during the entire experience. It was an Experience. Capital E. A perfectly curated one. Every course was its own Event, yet everything was tied seamlessly together. 100 stars for Gather & Grub!

I was at an event last night and Gather&Grub catered it. The food was so good. Everything was tasty and unique! The owner is super friendly, I'm sure easy to work with. I will use them on my next event!!!! Great job ladies!

I have worked with Chef Lainie on two school auctions now. She has done beautiful and delicious food even on our limited budget. She is friendly and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend!

I've tried to contact them three times to no avail - what's up with that? Do they not want more business?

Chef Lainie catered an amazing wedding shower with bites to pair with champagne from around the world. It was delicious and everything paired perfectly! All of the Gather & Grub crew were attentive and delightful. I highly recommend for all your catering needs.

Lainie is fantastic!! She's prompt, efficient, professional and sooo easy to work with. And she carries a great sense of humor which we all appreciate. Her set up and teardown was wonderful and thorough. I couldn't have asked for more. I would highly recommend her and her team to do your next event.

Chef Lainie and her crew were the best. Lainie worked with me on the menu for the wedding celebration I was hosting and made sure everything was just right.They came in my home and set up everything - it was perfect. It looked and tasted amazing. All my guests enjoyed the food sooo much. I would recommend Gather & Grub for any occasion they are the best!
