Dear Michel,

Thank you for the superb job catering my 60th Birthday and Barbara's and my 30th Anniversary. The food was delicious, and we have never before had a party where we could so enjoy the entire evening.

Guy prepared the food beautifully, and Sergio made the table and bar look terrific, and took care of all guests with great efficiency and politeness. So, from the great food to the great service, it was an immensely successful evening.

You will be pleased to know that everyone asked who catered, and when we said 'The French Gourmet,' there were immediate nods of understanding why the food and service were so exceptional!

Again, thank you for making two important events so memorable.

Sincerely,
Geoff Wahl

'Exceeding the customer's expectation is a phrase that I hear often in the
service industry, but The French Gourmet truly takes this policy to heart.'

OH MY GOSH!!!! You did above and beyond my expectations.

It was over the top. The grandparents were beside themselves. It was a total success. Your staff worked their tails off and were amazing and I wanted to tips them well.

You NEVER let me down. And, though you have many many clients, I never forget you. Thank you for the brie. YOU are so special. I look forward to my next event with you.

You are a wonderful man and a top of mark company. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Merci Beaucoup!

Dear Lesa and Michel,

Lucky for me, you didn't decide to end your traditional wine dinner last year.  Thank you for such an incredible evening.  Michel, beginning with uncorking the champagne with your sword, your pleasure in entertaining and cooking for everyone was contagious. You have this great desire to make everyone happy that just makes you both incredible hosts. Every aspect of the evening was perfect from the menu to the wine to the desserts to the staff. 

I received many calls on Sunday that "this was definitely the best party ever".  Can't wait for the next one!

Orsika,
 
I know we called you yesterday but I have to thank you one more time.  You and your staff were awesome!  I have never been to a better event.  I am being dead serious.  The staff, food and the execution were flawless. I would recommend you in a heartbeat. 
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

Michel, last night was just magnificent! It could not have been nicer. Greg was an outstanding manager and the whole team was fantastic -- everything moved along like clockwork. The food was delicious and everyone was raving... The wines you picked out were wonderful (we'd love to come in and buy some!)... and the restaurant looked beautiful with the flower centerpieces, the buffets with their floral touches, and the new lighting.

We had two additional people -- just want to make sure we add those to the total.

All our friends are wild about the French Gourmet now! Especially the ones from farther away -- Rancho Bernardo, Escondido, etc, who hadn't been to the restaurant before...

You couldn't have put together a more professional, efficient, and delightful crew to work the party. This is always the case with the French Gourmet, we know from parties we've had catered with you all, but each team seems to top the last, if that's possible. I can't imagine having anyone else do a party for us...

Again, many, many thanks for making Ken's birthday a tremendous success... especially with not much notice. You are the very best!

Warm regards and gratitude,

E & K

Hi Lesa,

I am so lucky to have you and Michel to call when I am doing a party. I feel like I don't have to do a thing. The dinner was wonderful and the staff was incredibly professional. It was the easiest party I have ever given.

I am looking forward to the auction and definitely hope I can get the wine dinner. Thanks for all you have done for me.

Candy,

Thank you for such great service! Your meal suggestions were perfect for my wife's party! Please extend my gratitude to the owner regarding Jen, our server. Her professional conduct, promptness, and friendly demeanor added to the success of this event. I will not hesitate to recommend your restaurant to friends and business acquaintances.

My dear Orsika,

I honestly don’t know what I would have done without you a week ago Saturday, on the fateful day when everything 'shifted' for the better, yet I was 'caught' in the moment with a need to unload my disappointment when the original site for my 21st party was so rudely changed. Thank you for facilitating that change with me.

You totally hung in there, with compassion, insight, and the exact words I needed to hear to know that not only would everything be alright, but it would in fact be MUCH, MUCH BETTER… In my heart I knew that was why the whole shift transpired so quickly and unexpectedly; that the universe was delivering the perfect party that I had visualized and felt all along. But you were there when I had to let go of the emotion of disappointment and move onto pure joy and excitement for the best again.

Perhaps caterers are 'supposed' to do that…. I don’t know. All I know is that YOU did that for me, and for that I cannot thank you enough.

In addition, the food was PERFECT… more than enough for everyone. The selections you suggested for the guests who I had described to you turned out to be perfect. The set-up perfect, the 'extras' of care and consideration, especially on the part of the worker you sent, dear Peter, was terrific. I was very happy, my guests were very happy, and my mother-in-law was very happy. Personally, I ADORED the coffee set-up and fabulous RUSSIAN SALAD. A wonderful time was had by all.

Once again, The French Gourmet and its leaders and personnel continue to prove why The French Gourmet is the very best San Diego has to offer. I am so very grateful to you.

Thank you, Orsika. I can’t wait to do it again!

Michel,

I did get your message and wanted to let you know that our granddaughter’s christening on the 19th went very well. Kim and her staff were great; they were creative, flexible and very competent. The buffet table was a complete success. Food and all were just wonderful. Thank you very much for helping us. Please let Kim know I appreciate all she did to make the day go well.
