“Our goal was to replicate a food/wine pairing akin to a top-tier Michelin star restaurant. Poe & Co. DELIVERED. They worked with us to craft a menu of local and seasonal ingredients that perfectly paired with the wines, worked with the venue to ensure flawless execution, and delivered an experience beyond what we could have ever expected. We joked that our goal was to the “blow the minds” of our guests, but in the end it was not just theirs’, but our minds that were blown. We have worked with private chefs and catering services across California, the US, and internationally, and Poe & Co. is at the top of the list.”

“We had Poe & Co cater our wedding last month and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results and the entire experience of working with them. We received compliments from our guests about nearly every dish, from the perfectly-cooked salmon, to the falling-off-the-bone beef shortribs, to the crispy late night pizza, to the delectable olive oil cake—we got compliments from guests on it ALL. We wanted to work with an innovative caterer crafting unique dishes out of only the best seasonal/local CA ingredients, and we got precisely that. Not to mention, Jamie was extremely helpful and responsive during the entire planning process. We would recommend Poe & Co in a heartbeat to anyone planning a special event in the Santa Barbara area!”

“Poe & Co. provided the catering for our daughter’s rehearsal dinner of 36 on Thursday evening and then turned around and created an exquisite evening for her wedding of 160+ on Saturday! Jamie and Jayson were amazing to work with- from their professionalism in both their food suggestions and sophisticated preparations to the expertise and dedication of their staff, they exceeded all expectations. Their “Fine Dining” cuisine was the perfect companion for the elegant Sunstone Villa backdrop. Beyond their obvious talent, they are really decent, and nice people to work with. They honestly had our best interests at heart throughout this entire process. We cannot recommend them highly enough!!”
